There is an external drive used here. At one time something like what you said happened. It turned out it was the file system. the file system of the connected computer was one file system and the external file system was different. For some drives, the file systems must be the same for everything to be seen properly.

I love it - [i]anecdote[/i] vs. [i]antidote[/i]. Scott, you either have hidden genius or you have missed your calling. But so far, [i]robo_dev[/i] is #1 for rollicking metaphors...

maybe the best jokes will get T-Up's?

Dear HP,

I recently purchased an HP Printer, and as long as I am in the room, it works like a dream. Nearly every time I leave it unattended, however, the papers come out wrinkled, sometimes even shredded, and with blurred ink. If I re-start the same print job and babysit it, once again it operates without any problem. You can imagine my frustration with this situation. I would appreciate one of your technicians coming out to have a look.

Thank you,
Dave Larson

Dear Dave,

Thank you for contacting HP repair and technical support. As you know, one of our technicians was dispatched to investigate the unusual problem you have been having with your printer. He found the printer to be in perfect working order. He then set up a camera in the room with a direct relay to our office to document anything unusual that might be happening when you are out of the room. I trust the attached digital video file will clarify things. In the future, we advise keeping a careful watch on all of your printing jobs.

We appreciate your business.

Sincerely,
Mark Donaldson

Anecdote, I mean.

It takes a lot more than one to know an epidemic! :D

The character [i]Mrs. Malaprop[/i] first appeared in 1775 in Sheridan's stage play [i]The Rivals[/i].

[i]Malaprop[/i] is taken from the French term [i]mal a propos[/i]; the French phrase has been in common English usage for over 300 years.

That said, [i]the Scummy One[/i] is definitely [i]sui generis[/i], loosely translated from the original Latin as [i]one of a kind[/i], but better defined as a [i]genus[/i] comprising only 1 individual...

Wouldn't have had to split everything down the middle and all that sh1t.

And the beauty of it is - logs don't have any fingerprints!! ;)

by the scummy one

Now that is classic -- there would be 'doubt' since there is no fingerprints -- :^0

A pirate walks into a bar and the bartender says, "Hey, I haven't seen you in a while. What happened, you look terrible!"

"What do you mean?" the pirate replies, "I'm fine."

The bartender says, "But what about that wooden leg? You didn't have that before."

"Well," says the pirate, "We were in a battle at sea and a cannon ball hit me leg but the surgeon fixed me up, and I'm fine, really."

"Yeah," says the bartender, "But what about that hook? Last time I saw you, you had both hands."

"Well," says the pirate, "We were in another battle and we boarded the enemy ship. I was in a sword fight and me hand was cut off but the surgeon fixed me up with this hook, and I feel great, really."

"Oh," says the bartender, "What about that eye patch? Last time you were in here you had both eyes."

"Well," says the pirate, "One day when we were at sea, some birds were flying over the ship. I looked up, and one of them sh@t in me eye."

"So?" replied the bartender, "what happened? You couldn't have lost an eye just from that!

"Well," says the pirate, "I really wasn't used to the hook yet."
