Pfft, factoring 339? Back in my day, we had these pencils that we used to factor numbers, and once we got about a hundredth of the way through factoring it, it'd be dull! Imagine that!

I've seen all of the browser-based office suite talk lately, and can't help wondering where everything is to be saved.
Save it on a centralized group of servers? What keeps me from grabbing every bit of pr0n that I want and sticking it in a document file? I guess you could limit file size, but when my friend loses her ten year long journal because it's more than ten megs, she'll be pissed.
Yeah, everyone could save their documents and stuff on their own computer, but when they go to Cousin Bob's house for the summer, they'll have to leave their computer on, (because we all know nobody leaves their computer on all of the time). Yeah, stick it on a thumbdrive/cd/flippy, but in that case you had just as well take your copy of OO.o right along it's side!
Online apps seem like a great idea in the sense of multiple computers, but getting the _output_ from one place to another is an issue too.
What always works for me is to get some little candies sitting out next to my keyboard. I say to myself: "Once I get so-and-so done, I'll have another candy!"
