Well, first of all, we hack off one of their fingers, then we hack their thumbs, then we hack off the rest of their fingers, then we hack off their arms and legs, and if they still want to bite our legs off.... wait, I think that has already been used.
I will echo that! If a person cannot understand how it is possible to left click while using your right hand, FTP is probably not something you want to spend time trying to teach.
The end of my middle fingernail is approximately 1.4 cm across. The length of the nail is about the same. The article says that each bit is about 3.4 um in size and I assume that means somewhat circular. Now 1.0 mm is 1000 um and 1 cm is 10 mm, so 1.4 cm is 14000 um. Now, 14000 divided by 3.4 is 4117, and assuming a square nail (mine is not) the total number of bits is 4117 x 4117 = 16955 megabits or 2119 megabytes (8bits/byte). To get 600 megabytes you only need 1/3rd of my fingernail.
Come on people! This person is not being funny! He is being sarcastic. It has been proven that constant bombardment about a person's weaknesses does not have the opposite effect. Always being told you are no good makes you stop trying to be better. Even animals respond to praise better than they respond to kicks and beatings.
Just adding one funny line at the bottom does not make the whole paragraph funny!
It's not a random freeze if it only happens when a specific two programs are running at the same time. Based on that, I have never had a random freeze on my AMD or Intel machines, since installing W95 from 14 diskettes. I have always used virus protection and don't do stupid things. 95, 98, 2000 all run well. I have always felt that Intel gouged their customer's by charging more for a product than their competition so I don't specify or use them if there is an alternative.
Grandma still has trouble with left-click on a right-hand mouse. She was in my computer class last year. Based on what I see all too much, she is an average computer user. Can she use a Mac? As long as the modem and printer work, and there is no requirement for copy and paste, she will do ok.
I think the reason they do it is the same reason they like to roll around on dead frogs and road kill till their too smelly to get within arm's reach. If you can figure that one out, you might have the answer to them eating their own do-do.
I don't mind seeing advertisements set to the side and un-obtrusive. If they jump or wiggle or flash, they get blocked. If they are still, I may or may not look at them when I finish the page a wanted to read.
I am at work. I don't want to, and don't have time to go window shopping. If I am home, and an add looks interesting, I may take a quick look.
Pop-ups are like high pressure car salespeople. THey try to sell you something you don't want, and in doing so, they become so obnoxious that the buyer will not come back. I want them to wait over on the side and when I need to, I will ask a question. I want no cookies, no tracing, no sign-up and no collecting anything from my computer.
If the figures of the users were inflated, and that made them look more obese than they really are....?....Well, you can see where I am trying to go with this....

No problem! I just thought you had a bad accent.
I think my car already switched to that mode. I never thought about changing brands. Thanks!

Do you have any idea what would happen to the US economy it the DOLLAR TREE had to change it's name to 3-DOLLAR TREE?
If you don't see the humor here, just mod this as a troll.
Wait!
NO!
Don't!
I did't really mean it! I was just funnin' with you.

THat's what happens when you let your fingers do the talking.
If you are a spy and you are caught by the enemy, should you bite off your nails or wait for your captors to take care of that for you?

Owns a LOT of M$FT stock!
You mean, like ENRON?

Darn, I never noticed that before! Now you've got me staring at it.
I don't believe the correct word is pessimize.

"all but 5" That leaves about 8 doesn't it?

That seemed to work for him. I'll try it. Mod me funny!
Nobody asked you what your name is. All he wanted to know was whether your name is Frank. Your answer should have been "No" or "Yes".
I think I have run out of coffee.
