The suggestion dies a silent, lonely death. :-) On 4/12/2011 11:20 PM, DW wrote: >> Currently typing on a tilted keyboard because there's an ice pack >> wrapped in boxer shorts cooling off my laptop, which is constantly overheating and turning itself off unexpectedly. SB wrote: > > So, I guess the melting icecubes cure the overheating laptop, but if it weren't for the melting icecubes, your laptop wouldn't have shorts. };^)> DW found this one on Twitter and uses it often when talking to clients: "Asking 'How much does a website cost?' is like walking into a supermarket and asking 'How much is some shopping?' " Anonymous: "Bandwidth...in Phuket? That's the thickness of the string we stretch between our coconut-shell telephones." Anonymous: "Choosing an internet provider in Phuket is like trying to guess which one-legged horse won't come in last at the Kentucky Derby." LK: "if you want to use a REAL O/S ... " |
