Oh, the Convair B-36 Peacemaker definitely delivered malware.
- nindalf 3y agoWhy would they be talking about a bomber airplane in this context? They were clearly referring to the Colt Single Action Army revolver handgun.
- CoastalCoder 3y agoBecause I started thinking about which device (nuke vs. lead bullet) was more capable of delivering computational malware, as that would lend itself to more entertaining pun. But I eventually decided that wasn't a fruitful vein of humour, so I pared it back to mere mention of the weapon. I.e., even though I no longer jad a reason to prefer the bomber over the pistol for the pun, I stayed with it out of mere joke-planning inertia. Why mention just one or the other in my original comment? Well, because, as you probably know, brevity is the soul of wit.
