After suggesting puppy linux to my windows using friend and his frantic call about "sound drivers don't seem to be installed, should I pop in my motherboad's CD."
I talked with him for good 20 min and came to this age old wisdom quote...
"Always start your answers with the question - Have you plugged and switched ON your device."

Once settled, the fully adjustable seat is very comfortable, the plane leaves and arrives on time without a single problem, the in-flight meal is wonderful. You try to tell customers of the other airlines about the great trip, but all they can say is, "You had to do what with the seat?"

Some people want spell checkers in their IDEs, but not me. If it were not bad enough to have the chance of breaking code, an experiment with just allowing it in comment sections produce the following diff
Code: Select all
< signal(SIGCHLD, SIG_IGN); // let kernel raep the children,
>signal(SIGCHLD, SIG_IGN); // let colonel rape the children

Can't claim this is "classic", since it's my own invention, but anyway:
