Using words the "right" way doesn't make you any smarter. Like when I want to download my pictures to gmail, and someone says "you mean upload." Who cares?
Sarflicks! I couldn't agree with you mosby! Why haggleby when the low-rider don't know blatz about the snoozer?
I've had the same song going around and around in my head for days. When I dialed the number and held the phone to my ear, it didn't even give a guess for the song.
A historian named Herodotus tells of a thief who was to be executed. As he was taken away he made a bargain with the king: in one year he would teach the king's favorite horse to surf the internet. The other prisoners watched the thief explaining FireFox to the horse and laughed. "You will not succeed," they told him. "No one can."
To which the thief replied, "I have a year, and who knows what might happen in that time. The king might die. The horse might die. I might die. And perhaps the horse will learn to post on Slashdot.
IN Egypt's sandy silence, all alone,
Stands a gigantic Leg, which far off throws
The only shadow that the Desart knows:--
"I am great OZYMANDIAS," saith the stone,
"The King of Kings; this mighty City shows
"The wonders of my hand."-- The City's gone,--
Nought but the Leg remaining to disclose
The site of this forgotten Babylon.
We wonder,--and some Hunter may express
Wonder like ours, when thro' the wilderness
Where London stood, holding the Wolf in chace,
He meets some fragment huge, and stops to guess
What powerful but unrecorded race
Once dwelt in that annihilated place.
-- Horace Smith, Ozymandias, 1818
Then, tomorrow was another day The morning found me miles away With still a millions things to say, Now, as twilight beams the sky above Recalling thrills of our love There's one thing I'm certain of, Return, I will, To old Brazil.
That book lists for $25 (OK, you can find it cheaper, but it is still a big chunk of the tiny budget.)
I'd recommend instead making a robot costume. You could show up in the costume with a nice red bow, vacuum the carpets, serve a couple of drinks, and sneak out after everyone goes to bed.
This is an absolute invasion of privacy! Imagine: recording every questionable driving decision you make. I wonder where I can get one for my daughter's car?
And I, I walked over to the, to the bench there, and there is, Group W's
where they put you if you may not be moral enough to join the army after
committing your special crime, and there was all kinds of mean nasty ugly
looking people on the bench there. Mother rapers. Father stabbers. Father
rapers! Father rapers sitting right there on the bench next to me! And
they was mean and nasty and ugly and horrible crime-type guys sitting on the
bench next to me. And the meanest, ugliest, nastiest one, the meanest
father raper of them all, was coming over to me and he was mean 'n' ugly
'n' nasty 'n' horrible and all kind of things and he sat down next to me
and said, "Kid, whad'ya get?" I said, "I didn't get nothing, I had to pay
$50 and delete the email." He said, "What were you arrested for, kid?"
And I said, "Spamming." And they all moved away from me on the bench
there, and the hairy eyeball and all kinds of mean nasty things, till I
said, "And creating a nuisance." And they all came back, shook my hand,
and we had a great time on the bench, talkin about crime, mother stabbing,
father raping, all kinds of groovy things that we was talking about on the
bench. And everything was fine, we was smoking cigarettes and all kinds of
things.
In stressful times, people turn to comfort foods. Strawberry Pop Tarts are something that don't need refrigation, are individually wrapped, don't take a lot of space and don't have to be cooked. And apparently, a number of people consider them comfort foods; they are loaded with fat and suger after all.

From the article: One user put his hard drive in a freezer, after reading on the internet that this can fix
malfunctioning hardware
Yes, you can fix some hardware problems by cooling the electronics. Now, this would be silly if the user accidently deleted the files and then froze the drive to undelete them. Otherwise, this can be a reasonable approach, even if it sounds silly to a BBC journalist.
Going to a professional recovery service immediately without mucking about is much better, but the expense of the data needs to outweight the cost of the recovery.

Obviously you haven't read Mireille Guiliano's new book French Astronauts Don't Get Fat
No, he had it right the first time. Uola is a famous finishing school.
You must be right; CIFS is the cure for all the world's ills. (Mark Twain said "Never pick a fight with someone who buys ink by the barrel.")
OK, so did it have a copy of the latest Star Wars video? You know, the raw, uncensored, hard-to-find one.
This service is totally worthless for earworms!
Not true! For example, they follow RFC 3514
Excellent timing on the article, since today is the start of TV-TURNOFF WEEK 2005

... when try pry them from my cold dead fingers.
I use a touchpad myself, but to each their own.
How does that help? When I print out my morning newspaper, it will have the little yellow dots just like everything else.
