that one is a bit foolish, can't you just right click, cancel on the printing order?

I know it's like that on win7, don't know how's it on other windows?


Might be too late to cancel sometimes. But you can rush and turn off the print

ha, #6, thou shalt take care of facebook ... i take care by not posting anything at all. Every now and then I sit there and read all the stupid crap people post ABOUT themselves, essentially saying to the entire world, "hey world, look at what an idiot I am!"

In an effort to help a tutor out with some computer/projector issues, I offered to lend him my laptop – which had the required software on it. 5 minutes later, and a quick trip to the tech cupboard to fetch the right lead, and the contents of my laptop's screen were being projected six foot wide onto the whiteboard.

As I had a number of tabs open in Google Chrome that I wanted to read later, I quit Chrome and opened up Firefox instead, which went straight to Google – my homepage.

What I (crucially) forgot, however, was that the keyboard shortcut to open up a new Firefox tab didn't take my tutor to my Google homepage, but rather to a 3x3 grid of website thumbnails that I had been looking at last – all of which were porn videos.

For a couple of seconds I couldn't work out why my tutor had collapsed against the wall and my classmates had fallen off their chairs fighting for breath, but then the penny dropped...

And the one video title I caught a glimpse of before my tutor honourably closed my laptop's lid?

"Big busty teacher makes sure detention is worth the risk."

hahah

Think about Google search terms

A few years back I helped my daughter and her friend find pictures of their favourite band on Google. I sat these 10 yr olds down, typed "boyzone" into Google and left them to look.

Too late the first 2 pages of pic results were for "Boy Zone". Quite different content!


this one is good too Cheesy
