Silly me! I've only just realised the "Word associations" thread is for building up one's post count. Wot a ficko I am.

Surely nobody would be so devious... oh, hang on, I'm thinking of Slashdot, where everybody is scrupulously honourable in their utilisation of The System

My Slashdot ID# remains at four digits, and is prime - and I didn't buy it off eBay

Bum. The missus says the bin needs to go out. It's silent out there ... what do I do?

[RichardCranium]

The wheely bin has gone out. SWMBO decreed it. It was very full.

It is the only wheely bin out there on the street.

I do hope it was worth waking the neighbours for.

Surely nobody would be so devious...

Unless Toolpusher and Zippy are bots?

You know, when I was 20 years younger, I would have flooded this site with bots.

I'd love to know why my drive light is on 95% of the time. The guilty party looks like CSRSS.EXE or LSASS.EXE

I would rather it was the apps causing the bottlenecks, not the o/s.

Another mystery is why Firefox uses up 40% to 60% of my CPU and takes 3 minutes of disk activity when shutting down.
