    So what you are saying is that there are surviving Nazis writing mods. I knew that day would come.

    You think who made Ethnic Cleansing?

    It doesn't say it's too small to delete; it says the recycle bin doesn't have enough space for an additional 0 bytes, a fairly common problem on disks that are full beyond capacity.
    So what you're saying is that it needs more than 0 bytes to store 0 bytes. Then it should say how many more bytes it needs, no?
    No, I'm saying it needs exactly 0 more bytes, which is unfortunately too much to ask from a disk that is past 100% capacity.

    yes but in the old days of paper forms, whenever my auntie saw a box with the heading "Sex" she would write "yes please". I guess that is why they now ask her for her gender.

    Combining a printer and coffeepot into one 750 watt device would actually be a fine thing for the college market.

    The coffee machine at work is apparently rated at 3300W, but it's on a 240V 10A circuit. Don't know how it does it!

    The boring answer is possibly that it has two elements, a low power keep warm one and the brewing one. Both are never on together so it probably has an actual maximum draw of something like 2400W.

    Or...the label is wrong :)

    People have both sex and gender, and they're not the same thing.

    Oh, please.

    There are three possibilities.

    1. Male (XY)
    2. Female (XX)
    3. Mixed (some XY some XX)

    Having an extra chromosome is a syndrome, but it doesn't alter sex/gender.

    Anything else is political pandering.

    A disk cannot be "past 100% capacity". It holds a finite number of bytes. It cannot hold more than it can hold.

    TRWTF is talking about 0-byte files and ignoring the overhead. If a 0-byte file cannot be stored because there is no room on the disk for its file descriptor, then saying it can't be stored because it is 0 bytes and 0 bytes are free is nonsensical. That is not why the file can't be saved.

    But they don't contain very much actual information, and can be accurately represented in a form that does not require many bytes to store. Your disk isn't actually more than 100% full.

    What's wrong with the cats?

    New cat: Kitten.

    Used cat: Adult cat that needs a new home.

    If you check the web site and select New vs. Used, Used outnumber New by about ten to one (there's an awful lot of used cats out there). All of the New appear to be kittens, but there's plenty of kittens in Used as well. The site's definition of "New" is "with original manuals and packaging", which leads to even more interesting possibilities.

    Must check to see if they have a section for mail-order brides.
