    As it happens, yes, I have an OED (OK, it's actually the SOED, sixth edition, which is a strict subset). It lists four entries for network as a verb and six as a noun.

    For future reference, Chambers would be the second best known dictionary in Britain after Oxford. It's about a hundred years older than the AHD.

    Like, duh.

    EMULEX.

    As in ... eMule-X ... as in P2P filesharingz ... and yeah, you'd need the storage if yer one of those Blu-Ray piratez...

    I'm with you.. I assumed they took one's data and did a quick distributed backup a-la:

    mv important-financial-data.sql.dump ~/emule/share/hot-girls-making-out.avi

    Smooth...

    Apparently some people today don't get jokes. Let me explain:
    1. The abacus has only one bead. How did that happen?
    Some teens broke the others while hanging out in the kids' playground.
    6) The bag's warning label is an instruction to put a warning label on the bag. (Bonus WTF: such a large bag for two screws.)
    The bag is large so you can find it in the box; if it was small it would be as hard to find as the screws alone.
    9) The sticker's wording implies that QA is void if the seal is torn. To open the box without tearing the seal would be difficult.
    Which is the point - if the box arrives with the seal torn, somebody has tampered with the product on the way from the factory to you, and they won't assure that the quality is not impaired.
    11) The product name is "Null", which is probably incorrect.
    From the look of the plaque, it might well refer to a painting titled "Null" that sells for $1000 in some gallery. The funny thing is that in this case, "null" is not null (nor zero).

    Does anyone know what the hell that advert on the back of the bus was for? WTF underwear? WTF?
    I saw it as Wednesday Thursday Friday (pack an extra pair would imply staying somewhere not at home, so when you stay elsewhere you plan by days ... maybe a stretch)

    i took it to mean 'our bus drivers are so bad you'll shit yourself'

    CAPTCHA: odio; "what was that odio on the bus?"

    This gives nice effects when you try something like this

    There is an emoticon that means goatse that is kinfof similar to the emulex logo, and that emoticon was pretty common on IRC a few years back.
    Oh come on, you can't tell us that then not give us the emoticon! Find and share!

    It might just be possible for a USA owned company to get something made in China. It has been known to happen.

    I found a ruler to be useful in statistics classes whenever I had some need to draw a straight line. More convenient than either a set square or the edge of a textbook.

    Look at the Emulex logo. Think back a few years, to one of the most popular shock sites on the Internet. If you don't know what I'm talking about, you won't get the Emulex thing, but you'll be able to sleep easier without seeing goats.

    //I don't know if that's what the submitter saw there, but that's what I see.

    Remy, if you honestly see Goatse in that logo then you've spent FAR too much time on the internet. Get outside man, enjoy the fresh air. Try to look at the clouds without picturing a gaping anus.

    You mean a "gaping #ASS".

    Look at the logo of one of my former ISPs:

    That logo was implemented AFTER that certain shock site was known. That is the bigger WTF :P

    TRWTF is that there aren't any WTFs. In reality this was a covert psy-op aimed at seeing how creative people would get over nonexistent WTFs, if convinced that there are some.

    There's nothing at all funny about ASS. In Australia, the word is ARSE, you insensitive US clods.

    And like I'm ever going anyone referencing the American Heritage dictionary. You clowns can't even spell "optimise" correctly :-)

    1. All of the Spanish text reads "Spanish here". The translator forgot to do their job.

    If they were doing their job, it would read 'Español aquí'

    are you actually claiming that access, input and output are not verbs? Access as a verb dates back to the 60's, input back to the 40's and output to the 1860's. Yes, access and input as verbs are 'technology' terms, but they're not exactly bleeding edge.

    You're obviously confused. "Access" is a noun, and should properly be written "Access (TM)" with a footnote reading "Access is a trademark of Microsoft Corporation".

    The Quality Assurance seal makes sense. If a customer calls to complain about the contained product, first question to ask is if they tore the seal and opened the box. Therefore voiding all further support.http://friendfeed.com/gadgets4geeks/13f8598a/void-warranty
