    - I don't know the exact wording of the questino or issue at hand - Will Hunting Mar 9, 07:47 5

        Blame the democrats for another standard sales job. - Will Hunting Mar 9, 07:54 1

- no way. -- nm - Andie Mar 9, 07:44
- yeah, i totally have to use it for cataloging at work. but otherwise, sure....nm - x Mar 9, 07:42

- that, there's no way. no way in hell. - TFox Mar 9, 07:38
- no, need it for work. -- nm - loosilu Mar 9, 07:38 9
  - Even with a full work allowance....no. -- nm - ty97 Mar 9, 07:40 8
    - it would be difficult because too many of my daily tasks rely on it. Like bill paying. -- nm - loosilu Mar 9, 07:41 7
      - yeah. Change my answer to no. I couldn't work my bank without it. -- nm - oblique Mar 9, 07:44
      - It would be the end of my sex life. -- nm - ty97 Mar 9, 07:43 5
        
        But without the internet, you could be forced to go outside and run the risk of a real sex life. -- nm - Will Hunting Mar 9, 07:45 2
        
        *googles "how to handle panic attack"* -- nm - ty97 Mar 9, 07:46 1

    - Ten kilbos! Ah! Ah! Ah! -- nm - The Count si #2 Mar 9, 07:41
How can the board be freshly-rolled if there are no posts yet? -- nm - mara Mar 9, 07:37 5
- If there's a collission that results in om-nom-noming a post. I tried fixing the bug on the Ika board, and accidentally made it unrollable. -- nm - Beryllium (iPhone) Mar 9, 07:40 4
  - You don't need to fix the bug; just change the wording. -- nm - mara Mar 9, 07:43 3
    - I can't abide losing posts. That should never happen. -- nm - Beryllium (iPhone) Mar 9, 07:46 2
      - Okay, but between now and when you figure it out, change the wording. -- nm - mara Mar 9, 07:50 1
        
        Think of it as a fresh snow, and of posts as footprints ... ;) -- nm - Beryllium (iPhone) Mar 9, 07:52
