So do we get an explanation or are we to continue with the impression that you're both bonkers?

Why the fact that - after knowing the solution - you can not find a good explanation makes us nuts?

Alex: Fix it? How you gonna fix this?

Well there are two possibilities ...
a) There is a rational explanation and great minds think alike
b) There is no rational explanation and fools never differ
If you are unable to show that the initial condition in a) is fulfilled then one must assume that the concomitant in b) is correct!

Or it is a game of guessing - based on the hints...
Skipper: We'll fix it.
Alex: Fix it? How you gonna fix this?

If it is mere;y a game of guessing based on the hints then the actual 'question' is totally irrelevant. You could put any old nonsense there, totally unrelated to the solution, without any affect on the probability of someone 'solving' it. For those of us trying to understand how we might go about actually solving a future example, that is exactly how it looks, making it extremely unlikely that we will bother. That's why we want to see not merely the answer but the 'workings'. Doesn't seem unreasonable to me but ....

No, not really. "WSO" (and "FOSW") is an abbreviation, not acronym. An acronym is an abbreviation pronounced as a word, like NASA, LASER, etc.
Just saying...

Wow! A couple of weeks off and you are doomed to find something new here...
Not sure what's the first clue is (and the subject), but "Romance" fits just fine.
--EDIT
I think it's "Strings", not sure though... Oops!
You have just been Sharapova'd.

Subject - I mean the subject line (title?) of the post...
Skipper: We'll fix it.
Alex: Fix it? How you gonna fix this?
Skipper: Grit, spit and a whole lotta duct tape.

...and no. It's not 'Romance'...

I think you would have had trouble fitting it in because it's not the answer

I don't understand why, do you really have that many d-bags?[^]

One word in there tells you everything you need to know, "Philadelphia".
They win the d-bag award in just about every category. I'm not sure anyone actually likes the city or its inhabitants, even those who live there.

I use a powerful PC to work with Visual Studio, SQL Server and so on (regular .NET stack). It is summer and it gets really hot in here (no AC). I was thinking about using my new balcony to work in the mornings (so that I can be outside). I'd also like to move out of my home office in the afternoon when it's boiling hot inside. I don't really need a laptop, I currently don't travel and don't need to work on the way. It's all about moving out of the office furnace. So I started looking at ultrabooks, because they are small (13.3) and lightweight. But it turns out that if I want something that will make Visual Studio & stuff work, I need to shell out a big sum. But I don't need this hardware for more than a couple hours a day, I'll still be working on my PC powerhorse. Then I thought... What if I bought an ultrabook with an energy saving mobile processor and only 4GB RAM and only a 128GB SSD (think of Asus Zenbook UX305) that's small and really light... And I used TeamViewer to connect to my uber PC upstairs and do my work that way? What do you think guys? Have any of you done that?

Use an ultra book to remote into the main PC. Maybe then you won't be too hot

I think you would get better value by sticking a bloody great fan by the window and blow all the hot air out. I found working on a small screen and a dinky little keyboard so irritating I gave my (ASUS) ultra book to my daughter.
However when the A/C breaks down I refuse to work as the sweat tends to make the keyboard all sticky and it is a bitch to clean.
Never underestimate the power of human stupidity

It's surprising how much difference a small keyboard makes: when I bought this computer some years ago, I hated it for ages before I realised the keys were too close together for comfortable typing and swapped back to the old (bought in the 1990s!) keyboard...

I'm right under the roof and the only windows I have are skylights. The roof gets hotter and hotter thorough the day. This was the smallest room in the apartment, that's why I made it my office, but it's a terrible choice during summer.
