The worst bit, perhaps, is where he calls it a "non-working" graphics
card.  That's not entirely fair.

Actually, this isn't surprising.  Ever watch the Daily Show or the
Colbert Report?  These guys make their living making jokes about stuff
people don't understand the inner-workings of.  It's fun to pick on
politicians, business people, and scientists, especially if you have
no clue about politics, business, or science.  Apparently, when I get
my Ph.D. and I'm officially (perhaps according to some) a "scientist",
I'll be immediately inducted into the Great Conspiracy, along with my
evolutionist and geologist cohorts.  Oh, and let's all laugh at Alan
Greenspan for adjusting the interest rates again... I mean, he doesn't
actually use any math or logic to make those decisions; he just does
it to screw with us.

Sorry.  Sometimes, I wax sarcastic.  :)
