Wow made $45.00 in 5 min. :)

[thenerdguy]

Had to go on a service call to a building thats anout 35 Feet from where I work.
The network printer wasn't getting dected by the server. So I unpluged the usb cable from the printer and server and plugged it back in. (Chip creep is the 1st thing I usally check) Didnt fix it, Rebooted the server, No fix. Powered off the printer then powered it on. Fixed. A nice easy $45.00

[thenerdguy]

Well I do have this plan about asking for the peoples of the internet to send me $1.00 Just think, If there are 100,000,000,000,000 people surfing the net and they all sent me $1.00 :naughty: :naughty:

 

[MooCow]

There arn't 100,000,000,000,000 people in the entire world it's closer to 6,000,000,000,000.

 

[OCybrManO]

No, it's closer to 6,302,486,693 (billions, not trillions).

 

[Maskirovka]

lol...some people don't know the difference between a billion and a trillion unless you type the words out.

 

[thenerdguy]

I was just pressin the 0 key and I really didn't care how manny times I pressed it. Butr just think. If there where 6,000,000,000,000 people on the net and each one of them sent me $1.00 apiece.

I sit and talk on forums all week! Haha, nah, really I'm doing a paid internship as a Systems Support Specialists for a publications group at a big laboratory. People don't call me to often with problems, and the problems I do get are fairly simple to solve. Most of them can be solved over the phone.

I'm actually at work from 8:30-5:00pm Monday through Friday, I just don't do much.

Oh come now. Kim Possible may be directed at the younger audience, but it's still enjoyable regardless.

I thought it was going to be an internet scam, too :cheers:

 

[spookymooky]

I find Kim Possible to be very funny. IMO as cartoons go, it third after The Fairly Oddparents and Spongebob. It has been getting cheesy though.

btw, when did the christmassy happen? I love it!

UK Billion = 1000,000,000,000
US Billion = 1000,000,000

But everyone uses the standard US billion. The UK billion is an old term.
Thats todays useless fact.

So now u know.

The numerical system used in the US is not as logical as the one used in many other European countries like Germany, France and Italy. For these countries, a billion (bi meaning two) has twice as many zeroes as a million (10^12) and a trillion (tri meaning three) has three times as many zeroes as a million (10^18).

What does the amount of zeros have to do with anything? If we're talking linguistic logistics here (which english is anything but), billion should mean two million and trillion should mean three million.

The amount of zeroes is exactly what gives certain numbers a specific name in a decimal numerical system, hopefully in a logical way.

This isn't about linguistics, the bi and tri represent multiplication factors of the exponent of a million, in this case the 6 in 10^6.

Why does it necessarily have to be a multiplication factor for the exponent? In chemistry the prefixes bi- and tri- implies the number of specific atoms in a molecule. A bi-monthly news paper is published every two months. It's a very flexible prefix.

Anyway, a thousand million sounds stupid.

Well it's easy to see why a "milliard" didn't make it over to America.

I'm not sure if measuring by Bananas is worse than measuring by the arbitrary length of some king's smelly old foot.

I earn 100€/5-6 hours from one person pretty often, he knows nothing about computers so I fix all of the small problems in his computer.
