He was very skeptical that anyone would listen to music on them, because of the low quality. The first stereophile snob, perhaps? ID: 1027721 ·

If you are on enough pain medication and drop an anvil on your foot, it won't hurt. BOINC WIKI ID: 1027911 ·

My goofy question - there are only 2 ways you can insert a USB plug. Why do I get it wrong 7 times out of 10 ??? Good question!! You should have a 50/50 % of chances, but I admit I am always in the 70% part that is wrong too!! I have a little trick: I have a look at the USB-drive before inserting it. It only works fine if you have good light and good access to the socket/plug!!! ID: 1070898 ·

My goofy question - there are only 2 ways you can insert a USB plug. Why do I get it wrong 7 times out of 10 ??? Results are skewed, because you tend to remember the times it didn't fit more than you remember the times it did fit. It's a well known phenomena, ask any tech support person. ID: 1070906 ·
