Clinton saw her laptop melt from overheating and heard outlandish rumors, probably started by Emily.

A compiler wouldn't even parse a text file of bullshit, so it probably was code.
Thrillho:
This is adorable.

Now it's just quibbling over details. Point being, it could have been code that summoned Cthulhu, or just badly written convoluted code that overheated the cpu. If you want to take the comic at face value (and one should never be so dull as to take a fictional story at face value), then Emily is just a manic pixie dreamgirl in a world of magic and wonder and thus far has no actual relatable character to her.
It would be like Jeph deciding Claire has a working uterus and ovaries and can have babies despite being trans without at least developing the story and her character to explain how and why that could be plausible. "Because magic" is a lazy literary tool.
Natswash:
I think we have passed the point of over assumption/analyzing the three recent comics,\. if she remains this way for the duration of the week, I'll jump on the bad writing boat. At this point I think Emily is just acting a little stranger than usual.
Beside, I don't think Jeph would hand wave with magic, "Hanners Dad" maybe
