For some reason, it doesn't work. hmm, i've done too many of these. =) 1. few years ago when i was living on irc, way past 10 hrs a day on the days i didnt bother to do anything else, i once seriously thought of kickbanning someone in real life (after which i've cut off my irc into less than an hour per day average). 2. too many times i've watched(or been) out and thought the display has an excellent color depth and a remarkable refresh rate. and i mean this have happened multiple, way past 10, times. 3. when i've had two monitors next to eachothers, i've tried to cut&paste from one to another and failed, then i've retried and realizes what i were doing... 4. i have a tv next to my monitor, i've tried to use keyboard/mouse to change the channels and remote control to change screens/windows, several times. since i'm about to install a hauppage card, i'm sure i get more variations of this in the future... 5. i've read a book and attempted to cut&paste from the pages into my editor, multiple times this one too. it feels so stupid each time. i'm sure that wasnt all of i've done, rest i cant recall... quite normal thing is that i've picked the habit of talking while people talk to me in real life, something i've too learned from irc. it seems to annoy many people, while i dont often even realize. since it's relatively easy to listen and speak at the same time and be aware of both. anyway it's something i have to often explain to them... (i think the "outside" society thinks such a behaviour to be very rude actually) mickey To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
