Good to know. So, to summarize: Message 1: "I can't create Aux.pm" Message 2: "Windows limitation" Message 3: "What about 1.7?" Message 4: "Fixed in 1.7" Message 5: "You didn't answer the question" Message 6: "Yes I did" Message 7: minor correction to 6 Message 8: "Oh. I misinterpreted the question" Message 9: "No problem" Message 10: Pedantic responses/questions to nits in Message 3 Message 11: Polite response to pedantry Message 12: "Thanks for message #3" Seems like we were seven or eight messages over the limit. cgf ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 5+ messages in thread

Oh, hey, the solution to the energy crisis! See, all these people, typing on keyboards, they're creating electrical pulses over long distance Internet lines. So what we do is, we harness that, hooking up appliances to our home routers, siphoning off the power created by all that typing. We're saved, hooray! ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 5+ messages in thread

All this typing is mechanical work. All these keyboards will slighly heat up under all that typing and that's very likely just the right thing to help global warming to get worse.
