In the fast-paced computer market software and hardware design firms are always looking for the best method of conveying information.
In light of this I was spending an evening at an all-night slop-joint with some friends and debated the merits of french-fries and onion-rings as

Think about it, an entire industry bent on the production of frech-fries and onion-rings for the largest Turing machine on the planet. And his name? Bob Hackworth: 700 pounds of lard and the richest man on the planet. (no offence intended to any person who is named Either Bob or Hackworth or Both).

PS Although, it did supersize with an enlarging machine. |

I thought this was going to be like a music box with a rotating KFC drumstick instead of a drum, with the crispiness providing data. |
