You have to put in a bootnote stating that the calculations are based on a 52 week year, otherwise people reading would do calculations and state you made a mistake.

1.44 hours a week, otherwise known as 17.28 lonely single BT engineer hand shandies (at 5 minutes a piece). I think it's time The Reg online standards convertor was updated to include time..

How exactly is that "outrageous" ? I mean it is perfectly in the realm of the possible. I'd venture that I spend easily twice that time on the Net - just during my lunch hour.

Why was he not spending all his time pissing around on Facebook, like every other workshy dunderhead in the world who is busily INFECTING! MACHINES! I! HAVE! TO! CLEAN! through that horrible web 2.bollocks even as we speak. I'm going to stop explaining to them how they *should* behave even on their home machines and just buy a taser.

Gilbert may I interest you in my tasercomp design, which features a built in taser with leads to the power button.
I should wanr you given the fact it pulls from a 850 wat power supply as opposed to the standard 9 volt battery there is a chance of overcharge which might include minor side effects to users such as permanant mental or physical impairment, various dysfuntions, retardation (which would be redundant in the case of users anyway) or death.
JM takes NO liability for accidental overcharges or misuse.
Mines the one with the taser and "unique" internal wiring
