"They do other stupid things too though, like not letting you send zipfiles.."
Do they allow any atachments?
Could use a program to convert files manually to UUE and paste them in.
You could also use a program to hide the file type (rename it to piz and do a ROT128 on all bytes)
A friend was looking for a way to get rid of an old bike. Was covered in rust and was ready for the scrap heap.
Rather than spend the effort to take it to the local dump, or get it taken with the local garbage (if its not in a council supplied wheely-bin, it costs extra to take away), she had an idea.
She tied it to a lamppost near her house (used string or an old chain with no lock on it, cant remember). The next morning it had gone.
I remember a Dilbert about that one. If you forget all your passwords (a slight attack of amnesia) you wouldnt be able to logon at work, get money out the bank, etc. You would eventually starve to death.
Theres probably some software out there that lets you swap keys over for whatever operating system you are using.
I like customising things like that as it stops people buggering about with your system when your back is turned. I have my mouse set to the left side (right handed but can scribble and click at the same time) but I dont know why people swap the buttons when they do that.
At work I have a dual head workstation so I can, for example, open word on one screen and excel on the other. Would take up less desk space if both were landscape though. Bought by company so no point mentioning the ones that exist. Not going to get them to splash out on something usefull like decent monitors.
Why are laptops going widescreen? Shouldnt PCs be streaching the other way.
Lets take an example of some poor sod using MSOffice
They have the task bar down the bottom. They may have a scrolling news bar across the top. The will have menu bars at the top of word. All sorts of tool bars docked with the menu. What way up to we normally edit a page? Portrait, not landscape.
I saw a secerterys PC once that had so many extra toolbars, that using Word was like working through a letterbox.
Yup. I think it was just his wife that didn't know it was one way. He didnt even bother to warn other would be 'falling down a big hole after a bomb' people that you cant see colours with a green light stick. Selfish sod.
"...wouldnt he have to decompress on the way back up?"
The lifeforms that brought everyone back to the surface did it all without needing to decompress anyone. They just "fixed" it all.
It will be similar to the student licence they sell.
When your economy becomes more stable, you must ceese using your "poverty" licence. A discounted upgrade to a full licence will be available.
By which time they are dependant on it.
Not accepting anyone for free at the moment. They'll take you if you want to pay.
And they wait till you give them a username and password before they tell you all of that. Grrr
Fine if its just a statistical problem of how many die. I had a machine die on one update. Its sitting at the side somewhere as it needs a full reinstall after a few things went wrong as a result.
Cost me a day to set up another PC with the software I needed. Still to repair the PC thats dead. Worked extra hours and sacrifificed personal life as a result of an update. Bit too high a price for me
This is where it is possible to trick someone into thinking a particular claim is made but hasnt been. They compare the thickness to that of a LCD, but dont implicitly say that they are compairing the power consumption to that of an LCD. The 'and' seperates it into two statments about the new display.
When you find two people (in diffrent chat rooms) giving you grief for nothing, get them ready for a fight and point them at each other (pretending that they are comming to meet you)
That way, you get rid of the violent nutters and dont even get a scratch on you
I have an update that my PC requires, but I cant download it. I have a legal varsion of windows too.
Its one that is only on their corporate site. So you need a copy of windows direct from MS. Mine came with the PC thats giving trouble, so I have an OEM licence.
To get this patch I'll have to wait a few months till its free or stump ou some money to MS. My supplier (PCWorld) dont want to give me the fix either.
So I have a Blue Screen of Death problem and no help from anyone.
Slashdot Mirror
There was a Policeman in Edinburgh who decided to point his radar speed gun at a low flying jet fighter.
If the pilot hadnt hit the abort button, the jet would have automatically launched on his location. He was lucky, just his radar gun got fried.
Smacked bottom handed out and warnings sent round the police network.

Would you like to buy my car. You can pay me in Dollars. Its worth a few thousand pounds.
I thought the link was going to be 'The Hunt for Red October'

"I told my friend the exact same thing when some fratboys tried to play golf with her kitten."
Its hard to play golf with your clubs jammed up your arse.

Most kids can rattle out 60wpm

Plug a monitor into my laptop? Hmmmmmmmm One more bit to carry round with me.

And just think of the cash he'll make selling on the list of addresses to spammers.
Use a butterfly net and a string bag to put the bits in.

If she didnt, dont worry. You'd be fighting them off with a shitty stick when you have rocks that big.

Pr0n was used as a propaganda wepon against the Germans during WW2. Documentary about it on UK TV in a few days.

Why oh why did I pay for that service contract?
