Customer buys CPU, complains it doesn't work. Seller explains they wanted the execution to be "out of order" - a fundamental CPU optimization technique. Guy got ROB-bed. Return on Benevolence: 0%. For the uninitiated: Out-of-order execution is when a CPU rearranges instructions to maximize efficiency instead of running them sequentially. The ROB (ReOrder Buffer) is the actual hardware component that makes this magic happen. So technically, the seller delivered exactly what was promised - a CPU with a functioning ROB that executes out of order. It's just... not functioning at all. This is what happens when hardware engineers moonlight as used electronics salespeople. Customer service rating: segmentation fault.
