    wtf... I don't HAVE a mike

    And yet the Battlefield 2 demo installer thinks I do, wants me to configure the sensitivity, and in fact is producing a signal from it. WTF?

    I've checked all the cords plugged into my computer. None of them are to a mike - there's none in the room.

    So?

    My good old win95 used to suddenly think I have a satellite of my own, and it was so jealous I hadn't told about it before, it decided to get even and throw one device out of support at any given moment.. just to remind me where I stand.

    At least you have plenty of bathrooms.

    Perhaps a government has bugged your computer and you just can't find the mike . . . . .

    The game may be using a signal generated by the electrical interference from the mobo that is getting picked up my the mike socket.

    Btw, with the bathroom thing, it should be used inventively. MrFun, not being bestowed with the gift of humor, made a mess of it.

    Should have been something like: Are you sure that you checked your 15 bathrooms? Instead of what it was posted as.

    The MrFun Horizon:

    The point at which a particular running joke has become so old that MrFun finally picks up on it and starts using it. This indicates that the joke is truly dead and is to be abandoned by all standard posters.

    That's why you should always mute your mic no matter if you've got one or not.

    The odd thing about this is that the bathroom joke migrated to the Civ IV ideas section for some ungodly reason... I'd have to say that was the peak of its humour- now it's all downhill from there as Mr. Fun has so eloquently demonstrated.

    I think it came from the thread where everyone was listing how many bathrooms were in their house.

    It's nowhere near the hine heads of Ming though. This thread is funny and a classic, but it wont go down in 'Poly history. The Wesley might, but the heads of Ming will be remembered for a while while this will be confined to distant memory in a few months.
    From the lines of drogue... I wonder how much longer it'll last
