Re:why would a computer "jitter and freeze"

Yeah, this sentence really bothers me:

brownouts that will freeze their computers as capacity runs out in cyberspace

It sounds like some BS description they'd put into a movie when they forgot to hire a tech consultant. You know, like some dude with spiky hair who describes himself as a 'hacker' would be typing furiously on a keyboard, and then suddenly yell, "Oh no! We're in too many firewalls and cyberspace is almost full! All of our computers are going to crash if I don't do something quick!"

Could I get one of these fashioned as a Colt 45 or other such instrument of death? I gotta tell ya, sometimes just beating the hell out of something doesn't leave you with the cold, hard final satisfaction that you killed something.

I don't have parents anymore. They had an untimely accident tied to a series of unfortunate events.

That's a lot more than two words. Perhaps you should have used the preview button?
