Quote: "1.25tb? Is that a 1.5 tb drive(after formatting)?"

It's a 250 GB and a 1 TB drive. Actually totals about 1164 GB. The reason that number is so much lower is that on their labels, hard drive manufacturers treat one kilobyte as 1000 bytes, and so on. Software treats each kilobyte as 1024 bytes and so on, making the numbers appear lower.

Adding up the total capacity of each drive gave me a total of 1,250,017,480,704 bytes.

1,250,017,480,704 / 1000 ^ 3 = 1250
1,250,017,480,704 / 1024 ^ 3 = 1164

Sorry I live so far from you, I could have taken your wife's laptop hostage.I am sure you can afford a good hostage negotiator as well...

But it is still cheaper to give me the card...

It might be a funny joke to share between people that you know, but I fail to see the funny side when its a comment passed at somebody's wife, that they have never met.

I think the wrong smiley was used, but if you actually read it, Diggsey is taking "can't get her off of it" literally (i.e. to make a joke out of it). Again, it's easy to misinterpret because of the smiley used, but it's pretty obvious that he was not being malicious

Well I fail to see the harm in it myself, it doesn't imply anything, it's just a harmless joke.

Probably easily misread. It played on the words rather than passing an insult. It was a language joke rather than a wife joked. So I laughed.

Though arguably, it could then just as easily be read as an insult by the person it was directed at.

Oh, I read it as, she's large because she spends her entire time on the laptop. Not the literal sense of you can't get her off it.

My bad.

Although I think my point still stands, as I think Daniel Wright did take offence.

I've removed the slap Diggsey.

Quote: "... So it was you."


Actually I went from the reaction from Daniel Wright's response to Diggsey's post.

Ah cool, I'll remove the more irate part of my previous post. Only reason that happened is that I thought you had understood the joke, and were keeping the slap regardless. But obviously not.

Easy mistake. We're all human, well with the exception of me, obviously I'm perfect in every way and thus you're all beneath me, but that's beside the point.

Though I hope in understanding the joke DW isn't offended? If he still is, then I think DW and Diggsey can probably suss it out between each other, if Diggsey realised his joke offended somebody, I'm sure he'd apologise.

You're just stirring up nothing now. Diggsey's joke was a play on words. He doesn't know your wife, he isn't directly referring to her, nor is the joke anything to do with weight at all (that play on words could work on anyone regardless of weight)

Actually you're the one who is "stirring" things up, if Daniel was offended, then that is nothing to do with you.

Daniel can't be wrong for being upset by what was said, whether it was a joke or not.
