I'm working on a group project and group projects being what they are I have about 12 hours to learn GPU's and place one on order

The story goes:

Someone tell me if it is possible to access data on a computer using a video card. The bottom line is that [this canoe, removes your hashbrowns] and then you can very easily get into the [cast iron] and steal all the [brownies].  In fact, it sounds like nonsense, but my friend assures me that this method really works and he even [paddled] into other people's [campsite]. Do you think this is true?

Guys, I need some help. Yesterday I realized that my computer was [turned into a canoe, and very important data was sent floating down the river! For a long time I could not understand how the hackers did it because I have strong oarlocks, but recently I realized that I was hacked through the gunnels. If you think that this is impossible then you are mistaken. In fact, this is a very common method of making money and many hackers use it.

Beware, and make sure you've found and saved a long piece of shoreline... it's your only defence!
