Was the (huh?) something you copied and pasted? :slight_smile:

F_X - I didn’t understand this

Sorry I am being really annoying and not getting subtle jokes.

Oh, I was responding to this:

I saw your other post AFTER I’d sent mine.

Approximate Phonetic Chinese Version of “Happy Birthday”: (thanks, Nathan!)

“Guung juuk nay fook sow yuen teen tsai, hing hong nay sun sun fie lok. Leen leen doe yao gum yut, suuy doe yao gum jzew, guung hay nay! Guung hay nay!!!”

Approximate English Translation of Above:

“Congrats on this good day of fortune, where we can all gather together. Wishing you a very happy birthday. Every year, this wondrous day arrives; Always, this wondrous time comes. Congratulations! Congratulations!”

Hmm… I was trying to compose a “birthday greetings” post on Our Place, and lost the superimposition race. That must be why this is in my clipboard.

U.S. alleges terror pilots plot

A peak at tomorrow morning’s news. It’s a headline I wrote tonight.

Because “house loads” utilize only a few percent of the plants output. Nuclear plants (and power plants in general) are not designed to operate very low power output. Since this makes operation unstable, the plant is procedurally required to shut down if a certain minimum load cannot be maintained.

By the way, I’ve had this idea for a thread a few times, but never thought it would be as entertaining (or as popular) as it has been. Good call, The Man With The Golden Gun.

As Emerson once wrote, “In every work of genius we recognize our own discarded thoughts. They come back to us with a certain alienated majesty.” (Quote is from 11-year-old memory; sorry if it’s inaccurate. I think it’s from the essay “The American Scholar.”)

jackelope We have the slowness of the boards to thank for it’s popularity. I couldn’t stress enough how this place has made most of us use Ctrl-C and Ctrl-V a hell of a lot more! Even outside the SDMB. I for one live by those key combinations while on the comp.

And luckilly I ctrl-c’d that paragraph, as I managed to delete it by accident.

Yank Customs: What’s this in your Luggage Sir?
(I quoted what garius said on NADS about what would happen when I try to enter the US with a little battery powered fan in my luggage. Mainly quoted it to refute the Sir)

After this post, of course, the NADS url is in my clipboard.

I’m at work, what can I say?

Ah! Isn’t copying and pasting wonderful? Instead of having to waste all that time typing out something long, all you have to do is highlight, hit ctrl-c, position the cursor, and then ctrl-v it.

So let’s see what that simple process was saving me from having to painstakingly write out by hand…

JS

Hmm.

Yet again… nothing in my boring clipboard at home
(I’ve come here about 6 times over the past few days with nothing in my clipboard)

So I am going to cut and paste something random from my HD…

oid main()
{ int i;
struct Numbers Num=
{
//Binary test
{“00000000”,“Bin”,Bin,0,0}, //minimum
{“1111111111111111111111111111111111”,“Bin”,Bin,0,2}, //Overflow
