King James Version (album)
King James Version, originally released by Sire Records on September 12, 2000, is the second full-length album by alternative rock band Harvey Danger. Although it garnered critical acclaim, it failed to produce a hit song, unlike the earlier Where Have All the Merrymakers Gone?. After the release of King James Version, the band took a three-year hiatus.

gollark: I mean, if my laptop gets hacked or something, people can at least not irreversibly overwrite my brain, only... delete my notes and stuff.
gollark: I'm pretty scared of brain implants because they would probably involve computer systems of some kind with read/write access to my brain. And computers/software seem to have more !!FUN!! security problems every day.
gollark: Personally, I blame websites and the increasingly convoluted web standards for browser performance issues. Websites with a few tens of kilobytes of contents to a page often pull in megabytes of giant CSS and JS libraries for no good reason, and browsers are regularly expected to do a lot of extremely complex things. With Unicode even text rendering is very hard.
gollark: Memory safety issues are especially problematic in things like browsers, so avoiding them is definitely worth something.
gollark: > google blames c/c++ and its lack of warnings to devs about memory issues for most of the critical bugs in chrome<@528315825803755559> I mean, it's a fair criticism. You can avoid them if you have a language (like Rust) which makes them actual compile errors.
