@Stephanie: Deleting files only copies them to the Recycle Bin and doesn't really delete them. The Recycle Bin should be emptied first or alternatively files should be deleted with Shift-Del (deletes them right-away). Of course, this explanation should have been on that dialog (and buttons for fixing the situation). Vista/7 are more helpful these days.

Even XP will usually tell you that there is not enough disk and would you like to delete the items permanently instead.

it still doesn't beat my fav of all time - BIOS error: No keyboard detected, press F1 to continue >.<
- alphaxion
@alphaxion: The F1 can be pressed _after_ reconnecting the keyboard :P
- Jemm
not always, I've encountered some machines where the connection of a keyboard afterwards doesn't enable the pressing of input until you reset it and for a fresh POST. It all depends on the mobo.

F1 keyboard thing is really annoying when you're repurposing an old PC as a headless Linux server.

spell checking is a big use of google, but obviously this chart is exaggerating for comedic effect

I don't use Google to find porn or for spell checking
- LANjackal
I use Google most times as launchpad for big complicated URLs or to search in Wikipedia if I really search for usefull Information. And only as needed for spell checking. Never understood how is searching for Porn on Google. I belive it is a myth.

I do use Google For Spell Check and finding info. But the others not so much.

@TheHenry: You do more often check how a word is spelled than searching for something??
- JoeD
I very often use google not so much for spell *checking* but for spell *finding* passing in very absurd spelling (which I can come up with based on what I hear) and then google amazingly always finds the word, even when my input is 100% wrong. (English is not my native language)
