    NetBurst struggles with everything. I find Windows XP damn near unusable on my Pentium 2.8, yet my Athlon 3200+ is running 7 with no problem. NetBurst can be summed up in the words of James May:

    "Your hair cannot drive a car. In fact, you hair isn't actually very good at being hair."

    I could run Firefox 34 on a Pentium 4 2.0, but anything more than 2 tabs topped the 512 MB of RAM.

    Did you guys see Joey Lagano on the David Letterman show he said to Joey the cars weigh like a ton right? Joey's responce is no they don't weigh that much they weigh about 3,100 pounds (which is more than a ton!!) He must feel so embarrassed:p

    You do realize "that thing weighs a ton" is an expression, right?

    But Joey said they don't weigh as much as a ton, they weight about 3,100 pounds which is more than a ton. So Joey did not know how much a ton is that is the funny and embarrassing part for Joey.

    how? "Weighs a ton" is an idiom. Why would it be embarrassing to use an idiom?

    You've missed the point. Must weigh a ton doesn't literally mean it weighs 1 ton, it means it must weigh a huge amount.

    Do you have a screw loose? Its a figure of speech, nothing awkward about it, he didn't literally mean 1000 kilos of mass...

    Dell put way too much loctite on screws. Stripped 4 in a row. Had to remove 1 with a power drill, bore it out.

    I saw a stock Nissan S14 yesterday. I couldn't believe it. I've literally never seen one here before.

    A ton of: ‘A ton' is simply a metaphor for ‘a lot'. For example, if someone suggests a movie plan on a weekday, I might refuse, saying that I have a ton of work to take care of. You can also use ‘tons,' instead of ‘a ton of.' For example, you can say, ‘Before we went into the movie theatre, we made sure we had tons of popcorn for everybody.' Or: ‘You are in tons of trouble unless you clean up this mess quickly.'

    You're a mental. Is there anything wrong with your mind that might go some way to explaining why you're not grasping the nuance of this social interaction? or is there a language barrier? help us out here man, we're dying.

    I think he is saying that the racer said they don't weigh that much in reply to the host saying they must weigh a ton, and then saying a weight over a ton. I get it, but that doesn't mean hes right.
