Your retarted. Comes to 4.80 dollars.

calling someone else retarded when you don't know the difference between your and you're is quite retarded in itself.

edit: a bit too late. ah well. you're still a troll

I'll ask the same question: Are you bald?

lol its funny reading all this, everyone bashing everyone else for some math or grammar mistake, when they make their own blunder themselves :D
besides, since when did ATOT become the place for good grammar/spelling anyways?? ;)
math in this case was a bit more important since that was the *original* subject of this thread....

Hah, this thread is still up after a day, but if you're going to make fun of my math, atleast be creative, as the public education jokes have been stated multiple times.

And I can't believe how many people have responded! 5 pages of responses with 30 messages per page, that's well over 600,000 responses!

If it did cost $48 to run 5 days, that means you would be paying nearly $300 a month to run a computer. In 3 months, the electricity would cost more than the computer. :eek: Everyone would be running Pentium-M ULV's (5w max TDP)

You just gave me a flashback to a SNL PSA from the '90's about what to do during a pregnancy. Phil Hartman had a 'pregnant' Victoria Jackson doing all kinds of horrible things: heavy lifting using the belly as a platform, drinking, smoking, and eventually frying the fetus in a microwave mishap. Maybe someone's mom's sarcasm meter was broken that night...
