I know we're used to reimplmenting PONG at 0.5 fps on an 8088 vm shoehorned into pure CSS around here... (you know you would click)

but this is ridiculous. Personal computers are 3 ghz * 2-4 cores * a billion devices.[1] It is huge!

That's why we can work at layers that are 10 layers above what we're actually doing. Such as a style sheet interpreted by a browser.

Try dropping down to C sometime. These machines are not toys.
