    The supercomputer’s storage maxed out. No wonder it’s afraid of her.

    I think my favourite part about this strip is Sweetheart pushing Dr. Lee in the second panel. The poses of the characters are really good there. 🙂

    And the computer is now officially the most sensible person in the office.

    (The computer is self-aware enough to know fear? Definitely machine union).

      I was going to say, how well it knows her . . .

    You’re a green one, Mr. Grinch,
    You deal with ones and naughts.
    Your Intel Haswell Xeon gives you air-cooled hyperthoughts,
    Mr. Grinch.
    Wouldn’t give Viriginia any Secret Santanauts.

    You’re a coward, Mr. Grinch,
    An XC40 wimp.
    Information he’s withholding forces Dr. Lee to skimp
    Mr. Grinch.
    Not giving out names, well, gives her plan a crimp.

    You turn my stomach, Mr. Grinch,
    You’re expensive, but a waste.
    Your multiprocessor skills give us all a sour taste,
    Mr. Grinch.
    And not providing names is a terrible disgrace.

    You’re a failure, Mr. Grinch,
    You’re a liquid-cooled reverse.
    The Skin Horse year end budget never went for something worse,
    Mr. Grinch.
    Your parallel multiprocessing skills
    With Aries interconnect and NDVIA Tesla accelerators
    Is nothing but a curse.

        If Shaenon and Jeff are going to plant lines like that, they’re going to get song parodies like that.

    **Waves arms wildly** Pick me! Pick me! Ginny, you can be MY secret Santa anyday.

      But why do you want a skin-melting ray, anyway?

        Actually, was hoping for the tornado machine.

        Why would you not?

    It was slightly disturbed by the quantity of videos, but mostly by the lack of discrimination between ‘cute cat’ and ‘cat brain’ as subjects.

    So if Dr. Lee doesn’t have a gift giver, does she also not have a gift recipient? Or can we find the person who isn’t giving a gift and assign her to them?
