Yeah, but that makes perfect sense. Not a vacuum cleaner, though.
Why not? There is heat generated by the motor - seems to me to be a
pretty simple adaptation.
There was a paperback published some years ago that certainly would
interest Tom if not others. It was a book of roadkill recipes. These
were recipes you could use to heat up on the radiator of your car
while you are driving.

Now, there are other roadkill recipes around, but these were for meals
you could prepare while you travel. On your car engine.

Yeah anyway...back to the subject. Why is Outlook Express awful?

Just type "outlook express problems" into your web browser and have fun.


I haven't had a single problem with OE since I began using it several

I personally witnessed Jesus restoring the hymens of prostitutes at The
Fuzzy Bunny Ranch out in Nevada.

Most of us do not frequent Houses of Ill Repute, so most here will miss that
experience of healing hymans.

Let me know when Windows does that. Every time I buy a peripheral
there is always a CD with drivers. What's that for?

In case of...

At least it is there. There usually are no linux drivers on that CD.

When I fired up VISTA for the first time, it found everything that was
connected to the computer, including my photo printer, which was
connected via USB. I did have to tell the OS that my color laser printer
was connected via my network, but once I did, it found it just fine.


Except for my old scanner. But as it turned out my old scanner drivers
from XP worked just fine.

Outlook vi-rii and Outlook troublefiles that little twerps around the
world create just for fun.

Just set your options to not run Java and active x controls automatically.

Those drivers on the CD drivers are often already outdated, so that's

That was my point. You don't need the CD.

I know, but maybe the linux guy didn't.
I'm almost laughing - almost - thinking about how those driver

Outlook vi-rii and Outlook troublefiles that little twerps around the

The virii got into the computer because the user didn't properly maintain
and configure his/her antivirus software.

You can always tell when someone is really an expert. "Virii" is not
only not an English word, it's not a Latin word either.

The plural of virus in English is viruses.

As far as I know, virii is Martian for "potato salad".

I have been unable to find any other references from reputable
sources, or should I say, "sourcii"?
D'oh.

Gee.

Whiz.

No.

Fun.

Allowed.

Virii is a fun word, dumbo.
A "fun word"?

Cite please!


http://www.wsu.edu/~brians/errors/virii.html

Hmm... your cite agress with me!

http://membres.lycos.fr/asle/virii.2.html

This is just some uneducated dope's personal page where they don't
know that the correct plural of virus is viruses. Probably wears his
baseball hat backwards, too.

http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=virii


They also agree with me, as does EVERY legitimate dictionary ever
published.

Next time, check your chops before you challenge mine.


I think you just chopped yourself off at the knees (kneeii?)



I said it was a "fun" word. It isn't my problem if you don't get it.

No, I asked you for a legitmate cite, and you can't seem to produce
one. Instead you provided 3 links to pages that more or less agree
with me that the use of "virii" indicates a certain lack of education
or expertise. I think you have pretty much confirmed where you fit in.

Can you at least provide a legitimate cite describing "fun word"? For
bonus points, the cite can include virii as an example of a "fun
word".



Do you know loogynosepicker here? Go play your petty, nonsensical
argument with him. You are going in the bozo bin. Bye.

I still have a few around for the oddball drivers they contain.
Sometimes you can find more up to date ones around, and sometimes you
can't. HP sadly is now NOT putting all the drivers its desktop computers
use up on its web pages, and the only way you can fix a bad driver is to
do a system restore. Thus, my friend with the HP machine...we went
driver shopping on a driver website and made up a driver CD for him.

As Louis Pasteur wrote, chance favors the prepared mind.

There's a place - drivers.com I think - you can find most anything.
But if it's an oddball, I put it in a HD directory anyway, so I don't
have to keep disks or CD's around. My stuff is backed up on 3 HD's.
Of course I don't do off-site, so if the PC gets fried, or the house
burns, it's all gone anyway. BFD.

You would be incorrect.

The word virii comes from Omicron Persei VIII and defines the
qualities one needs to be Emperor. It encompasses all the concepts
and theory behind being trustworthy, loyal, helpful, friendly,
courteous, kind, obedient, cheerful, thrifty, brave, clean and
reverent. Or angry, corrupt, depraved, destructive, foul, loathsome,
malevolent, malicious, spiteful, vicious and villainous.

It also defines the number of potatos one can legally use in potato
salad.

It's a complicated language.
