31 October 2000 - time travel

< yesterday -- tomorrow >

I can prove that time travel is not in regular use. If it were, then Intel (almost half “intelligent”) would cut its R&D expenses by selling next year’s advanced technology today. But since next year didn’t do its research either, and neither did any other year until the destruction of humanity due to lousy electronics, the whole system would collapse and we’d be stuck with last year’s computers.

Unless, of course, AMD (Alternative Micro Devices), rather than selling next year’s chips directly, uses them to design this year’s chips more quickly. Nothing else could explain the awesome rate at which silicon technology advances, year after year after year. I’m convinced—the chipmakers definitely rely on time travel.
