I started a distribution upgrade at about 9am, it said it would be complete in 1 hour, 40 minutes.
An hour and 40 minutes later, it says... 50 minutes. I can only assume it's to help Windows users make the transition, they're used to completion times which bear no relation to reality.

Jealousy will get you nowhere. If you'd like to rent it off me then you just have to say so.
Although touche on using a satirical magazine for your argument.0 -
When i saw the title of this thread i thought you were talking about the Ubuntu soft drink make. Thought it was going to be a daily fail story about how someone had blamed a can of coke for them crashing!
I'll get me coat! :oops:0 -
Jealousy?
Sorry but people with white cars, shoes and puters fit int he same catogry for me, Chavs which for my election mandate were to be hunted for sport 0 -
Oddly enough though white socks (which I don't own any) prevent your feet stinking. Strange but true.0

I can safely say that in my experience this is not true! :oops:0 -
yup Yee.. I have the same experience of norht here, doesn't matter what socks.. mine stink lol0

well, ok, not "stop" stinking, but feet smell worse in black socks. I thought I was mad, but my brother in law (and my sister) can attest to it as well.0
