I had a friend who would click on the progress bar in IE and Firefox when a page was loading. He said it'd make the page load faster. Coincidentally, each time he did it, the page did load faster. There was no way I could convince him.

By Dr. SueseQuote:
If a packet hits a pocket on a socket on a port, and the bus is
interrupted at a very last resort, and the access of the memory makes
your floppy disk abort, then the socket packet pocket has an error to
report.
If your cursor finds a menu item followed by a dash, and the
double-clicking icon puts your window in the trash, and your data is
corrupted cause the index doesn't hash, then your situation's hopeless
and your system's gonna crash!
If the label on the cable on the table at your house, says the network
is connected to the button on your mouse, but your packets want to
tunnel to another protocol, that's repeatedly rejected by the printer
down the hall.
And your screen is all distorted by the side effects of gauss, so your
icons in the window are as wavy as a souse; then you may as well reboot
and go out with a bang, 'cuz sure as I'm a poet, the sucker's gonna
hang.
When the copy on your floppy's getting sloppy in the disk, and the
macro code instructions is causing unnecessary risk, then you'll have to
flash the memory and you'll want to RAM your ROM, and then quickly turn off
the computer and be sure to tell your Mom!
Well, that certainly clears things up for me. How about you?
Thank you, Bill Gates, for bringing all this into our lives.
I'm not sure everything really would make logical sense, like RAMing your ROM, but oh well :p ;)
*teaching my grandmother how to work with a computer*
me: ok, now put the mouse on the upper left corner.
granny: *lifts mouse and put it on the monitor*
:ehh:
also tried to teach my grandfather to work with computers, but he was afraid the mouse would move from itself or bite him :p
(sharing some of my home made pizza)
she:It tastes very good.
me:can you taste the Danish Blue cheese?
she:Oh, I like everything.
I was talking to a guy in the office one day and explaining how you can assign a static IP in DHCP because it uses the MAC address to identify the machine. At which point he get's a very puzzled look and asks how the Mac's help pointing to the G4 in marketing.
The guy was my boss, the IT Manager... :sick:
