Damm... you beat me to it 
I should have typed three letters less

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

Hmmmmmmm... Better not. It can effect QA badly...
Skipper: We'll fix it.
Alex: Fix it? How you gonna fix this?
Skipper: Grit, spit and a whole lotta duct tape.

If it were for the QA... Bob would have already started to drink... and in a massive way

I duuno - if you had to pass a sobriety test in order to post there it might improve it...

Ah, I remember my 17th birthday...
... But that's only because I wasn't drinking. I don't remember many since then, so, by that reckoning, I'm in my mid twenties.

I don't remember my 17th ... A friend of mine was banned from his local pub (of two years) for celebrating his 18th birthday in there.

I had a similar experience - 18th birthday in a pub I'd been going to since I was around 15. Funnily it was the one place where at the time they said you couldn't drink under age
The night got progressively worse and we ended up in a Biker pub; safe but a lot of vodka was hampering all cognitive functions. At kicking out time, we staggered off in directions of various homes. I was woken, around 4am, by two pc's because I wasn't allowed to sleep on the pavement in case I fell off. I staggered into the house just as my dad was getting up. He laughed, gave me a beer and suggested I might want to have a sleep for the rest of day.

How many is that in hamster years?
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

Oooo! Don't ask questions like that!
They can start breeding at around 3 weeks (and have a litter every month after that), but they don't often live more than three years... The CP servers must burn through them at a phenomenal rate1!
1: Because if it didn't, Canada would be knee deep in them by now, instead of knee deep in Tim Hortens clones...

Sadly Bob has TWO more years, unless he skips over the province border. In Ontario they have to stay sober until they're 19!

Type : "Define: Ergonomics" in google.
It says:
The study of people's efficiency in their working environment.
1950s: from Greek ergon ‘work’, on the pattern of economics .
I was almost considering this word as something totally physical. Grasping it from the names like,
"Ergonomic Keyboard" , "Ergonomic Mouse" etc. I thought it's totally about the design.
The real meaning of it sounds something else. It's just about people's efficiency!
Great usage :
Once I got a perfect Ergonomic mouse I started playing more games at work. 
Starting to think people post kid pics in their profiles because that was the last time they were cute - Jeremy.

That definition is very poorly expressed; it makes it sound like time-and-motion study. I'd skip that dictionary, in future.
Ergonomics is intrinsically about design, in that the tools you use (including desks, chairs, etc.) are adapted to be used with as little as possible wasted effort (i.e. inefficiency). That can only happen by design.

It's a melding of two words.
Ergo - greek-ish, and means Therefore
Economics - the money handling money making stuff.
So, Ergonomics is simply a short way of saying 'laissez faire economics'
|
|
|
|

You didn't break it down far enough. Ergonomics is actually the study of the plight of the married man.
Ergo - Late Middle-English/Latin : Therefore
Nom - Colloquial Low-English/American : To eat
Ics - Colloquial Neologism/Kyleism : Bad/Gross food (ICK!)
I am ergonomic; I'm married, therefore I eat gross food.

Hi All,
Big Winge time (it would Rant but it's not Thursday!) today is Cr*p, first I get my marching orders(?) after fixing things left right and centre (or center pedants) find an issue thats stopped the R&D dead in its tracks. Secondly it's too overcast to see the super moon. Thirdly I mangaged to block the toilet at my parents, it overflowed on the floor before I could get to the ballcock! I have since mangaged to clear it with a wire coat hanger wearing gloves...which leaked!
Please tell me I will wake up bathed in sweat in a few moments...Oh yeah thats odd ballcock ball c**k gets starred out ![Green Alien | [Alien]](https://codeproject.freetls.fastly.net/script/Forums/Images/alien.gif) being an over anxious editor or Firefox?
