What's an Ipod really for?
Getting trendy people to go home with you, mostly.

Does OSC really know my IP address?
If he wanted to look, it wouldn't be very hard. After all, YOU ARE BROADCASTING AN IP ADDRESS! (click one of those annoying ads for a 'solution')

How do I create the internet?
Run for President, and you can say whatever you want.

How do I keep trolls from spamming my email?
Quit signing up for mythical creature mailing lists.

Windows ISN'T better than OSX. You've been misinformed.

Its different, not better (at least, not in any general sense).

It means Not Found.

Your phone cable either isn't plugged in, or your line is having some problems.

Magic.

Next to it, because if you're one of the half dozen people in the world who still needs one, you bought a separate one, and if you're somebody else, its a waste of space.

Stealing your soul.

Yes (and he keeps it under his pillow).

Persistence.

Trolls don't spam, marketers spam.

I thin the real question here is, does Word work?

Simple. Give them someone else's email address. I prefer trying to send them back to the same company that's prolly gonna try to spam me. support@<whatever> usually works, too.

--|-- to Real Media's stupid registration info. I keep entering their founder's email address. [Big Grin]

Bcause you're an evil person and must be stopped at all costs.

To get the attention of muggers (make sure to wear the uber-trendy headphones) and keep them busy mugging you instead of us.

You have to install the vaporware upgrade to open the secret panel to use the floppy drive. Given enough money, I'll do this for you.

We *all* know your IP address. You can check it if you want to see if I'm lying. Ping 127.0.0.1 (for best results, type: ping 127.0.0.1 -l 65550 -t).

So the guy behind the counter looks up and tells me "We don't have a car in that class."

I didn't know that cars took classes. *rim shot*

Yeah I never get any spam at all none whatsoever, heh heh except from the hotmail people once a month or whatever. if you get one piece of spam, you are dead in the water. so the first thing is to create an new e-mail account, then never give out that e-mail address, and if you have to give a real one out to recieve a password or whatever and you suspect they may at-all-possibly sell it on you or spam you, then create another account(it's really quite easy to do) and give them that address.

Works very well for me - I've done thousand-page documents and probably used 70% of the features at some point. Some of the documents were automatically generated using VBA applications I wrote, some were assembled or typed by hand. It generally does what I need it do when I need it to do it.
