  1. Doctor visit

    A 75-year-old man went to his doctor to get a sperm count. The Dr.

    gave him a jar, sent him home and told him to bring back a semen

    sample tomorrow."

    The next day, the 75-year-old man returned to the doctor's office

    and gave him the jar,

    which was as clean and empty as on the previous day.

    The doctor asked what happened, and the man explained, "Well,

    doc, it's like this. ... First I tried with my right hand, but nothing.

    Then I tried with my left hand, but still nothing.

    Then I asked my wife for help. She tried with her right hand, then her

    left, still nothing. She even tried with her mouth, first with the

    teeth in, then with her teeth out, and still nothing.

    We even called up Arlene, the lady next door, and she tried too, first

    with both hands, then an armpit, and she even tried squeezing it

    between her knees, but still nothing."

    The doctor was shocked. "You asked your neighbor!!??"

    with our arthritis,

    we still couldn't get the jar open. :blush:

  2. I've never figured out what's so special about PDFs anyhow? :unsure: But then I am just a non-techie!

    I agree (as a non-techie) that PDF is over-blown. Given the ability when researching in Google to view either a PDF document or the alternate HTML document, I always choose the HTML doc rather than waiting for Adobe's ap to load and then having to (seemingly) fiddle with the document to read it. I could be wrong but the PDF doc doesn't highlight my key words like the HTML doc does when using a Google link. When reading news and comments on some news aggregators Foxitt is a slam dunk when reading said offending PDF documents.

    I thought the following quote from the article you cited was somewhat humourous: "As our CEO Bruce Chizen has stated publicly numerous times in the past, Microsoft has a monopoly and we are always concerned about the possibility that they might abuse that monopoly," she said."... kettle calling the pot overly oxidized?... or just a dig in stating that Microsoft has a monopoly and nobody has done anything about it (successfully)? Dunno.

    It's about power and money and (pick your own epithet) with the end user.
