Don't think he wants to do it tomorrow!
But I've done it once this week, so it's only fair to give the rest a chance.

Well if it's easy peasy it can't confuse the brain can it?

It's not unusual. It's correct! It's only lazy indolents who omit the diphthong!

If in Greek you are interested, it should be: enkyklopaideia

Alex: Fix it? How you gonna fix this?

enkuklopaideia, actually. I'd have no problem with that but our lords and masters decided to anglicise it centuries ago. The least we can do is preserve the diphthong before it too disappears into the yawning maw of the easy spelling monster! Rise up you gynaecologists and paediatricians and say "No more!" Cry out, you oenologists, "They can tak oor jobs, but they cannae tak oor diphthongs!"

Leave your thongs out of it - particularly if you're going to dip them.

You are correct on both the etymology and my indolence.

Childhood of a Coder: Booting to BIOS[^]

Did you see that naive one, suggesting re-reading the manual...I can't remember getting any manual with my last 3-4 desktops (ever since I started to build them myself)...

Odd, every mobo I've bought (most recently about a year ago) has came with a decent sized manual.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Last time was February, when I fitted the SSD and wanted to check the boot order.
And my keypresses resembled a FSOW...

If you can, replace it with an SSD: the performance improvement of the whole system (even on a lower spec machine, like mine) is incredible!

Already have an SSD in there ^^ But i have to change the 300GB hdd to a 2TB one.
But yeah the change to the ssd was incredible, my monitor takes longer to display the login screen than the pc to boot XD

You can always use a permanent marker and write it in the bottom, that way you always have it there.
