    Recycling Bin

    Do you use it in Windows?

    BTW, has somebody been going around on a thread-rating rampage again?

    *holds up hand* I've never done it before and got a bit carried away. I promise never to do it again. Honest.

    I give all of my threads the 0 out of 5 rating that they deserve.

    I not only use the recycle bin but also separate out the vegetable matter for composting.

    Oohhh...rate me again, big boy

    I never use the recycle bin

    I use it all the time. if I deleted something that is the place to look fo rit and usually it is important. especially if i am programming and I deleted something. also if the kids get on the computer and start deleting stuff ( you know how kids are) it is safe to say that they will end up in the bin.

    I hate these stupid windows *extras* like the Recycle Bin and all "My ..." folders.. especially My Pictures !!! <-- its soooo slow!! and windows always re-creates it on reboot.. damn MS.

    However, I have no rec bin, I removed it from my desktop, set the option off and removed the folder from each HD..

    my keyboard played tricks on me at that time

    writing software in C++ is like driving rivets into steel beam with a toothpick.
    writing haskell makes your life easier:
    reverse (p (6*9)) where p x|x==0=""|True=chr (48+z): p y where (y,z)=divMod x 13
