In my daily life I often hear people mutter "fucking know-it-all" behind my back while making the sort of hand gesture you hardly need the man from HSBC to translate for you.
Personally, and being naturally modest, I think this is overstating it a little and in reality I merely know an awful lot. But that notwithstanding, and as I have a few hours spare hours to spare this afternoon before going to the pub, please feel free to ask me anything you like.

"Because JPGs are better for graphics containing photographic images (the picture of the HiCap) and it's only a tiny 11k image and a GIF would likely be about the same."
I beg to differ, the majority of the image is text;
The jpg is 11kb:
This is a gif I knocked up (6kb):
I know which one I prefer.

Can Matthew the great (or others of greatness) tell me how it comes to pass that after cleaning my teeth with my Braun electric toothbrush (my Sonicare crapped out and I can't get a new one) and thoroughly rinsing both the head and shaft (no head/shaft related puns please) under copious running water and drying vigorously with luxury towel, after 2 weeks a thick sludge of toothpaste has developed on and around the charger bayonet ?

What does the phrase "waste not, want not" mean? Surely "waste not" means to value it, in which case you would keep it?

"I had a question but after reading four pages of this drivel I've forgotten what it was. What was I going to ask?"
Your question was "Am I stupid enough to keep reading something I am not enjoying and then further compound the problem and further waste my time by asking another question?"
"tell me how [...] after 2 weeks a thick sludge of toothpaste has developed on and around the charger bayonet"
Design flaw through typical shoddy German engineering.
"So which did come first, the chicken or the egg?"
If you believe in Natural Selection and the Theory of Evolution then the egg -- it was laid by something not quite a chicken and a random mutation led to the very first actual Chicken.
If you believe in Creationism then the Chicken.
"What does the phrase "waste not, want not" mean? Surely "waste not" means to value it, in which case you would keep it?"
"Waste not" means "Don't waste".

It's actually "waste not" meaning do not waste and "want not" means that if you don't waste, you'll want for nothing..........
Computers are supposed to work on 1's and 0's - in other words "Yes" or "No" - why does mine frequently say "Maybe"?......

*67*
Is the number you are thinking of right now.
"Why don't animals need toilet paper?"
Becuase in the event of a traffic accident they will not be wearing underpants.

Why does Blythe think he should answer questions on this thread rather than starting one of his own?

"Why does Blythe think he should answer questions on this thread rather than starting one of his own?"
I have established a strong brand strength position since Friday so when people think "I wonder..." they now immediately think "Robinson will know...". Realising this would make it difficult for his own thread to break into the market Blythe decided to muscle into this thread and try to win over some punters. He even tried answering questions I had already answered.
Naturally though I welcome any contributions as one can never have enough answers. Expcet those that make it look like people know more than me which must be the result of some dubious internet trickerey and should be ignored.

What is really going on underneath Denver Airport?

"Who will win tonight’s game Georgia Tech or Connecticut? Why didn’t you pick either team to win in your bracket?"
I was going to pick UConn for the whole thing but felt that Okefor's back would not hold up so they wouldn't get past, erm, Stanford.
So for tonight's game UConn will win if they can get most of a game out of Okefor. If not look for the Yellow Jackets to win it all.
"What is really going on underneath Denver Airport?"
That's where the alien spaceship from Roswell really is -- "Area 57" is a cover to distract the weirdos and keep the conspiracists occupied.

"Why havent I yet had a answer on my thread?"
You are asking people to help you but have chosen to do so via a confusing, badly punctuated and poorly written post. If you cannot take the time and trouble to carefully construct such a request you are unlikely to get much help.

Matrix Revolutions. Why? And to whom should I address my complaint?

"Matrix Revolutions. Why? And to whom should I address my complaint?"
Blame yourself. If so many people you hadn't gone to see the others they wouldn't have made that one.

"Who's the real Berlin Fritz?"
"Berlin Fritz" is another post-modern cyberart installation brought to you by the same people who did "Mick Parry", "Marco nee Stallion" and indeed me. latest research indicates that there are in fact only "just over 12,000" people using the Internet but most of them are pretending to be somebody else.
"Is this you ?"
No. But I did teach him everything he knows.
