You remember your Win XP serial instead of your relatives birthday...

When you go out for a walk in the city, you look wery weirdly on the aircon units outside the buildings thinking "Ohh if only i had som power tools..."

When you go and get drunk once in a long time(cause most of the time you spend home alone, benching) you calculate how much LN2 could you buy instead of the beer you were going to buy... Finally you decide to go for the LN2 and you either go home, or parasite on someone else...

All your room furniture is laid out exactly to best fit your benching needs, of course none can be stock, all must be modified !

A huge ammount of PC hardware is laying everywhere so between benching, when you occasionally eat, you have to eat on the floor...

Of course "benching language" is a must. Like my mom asked me the other day if i saw our pet(cat) in the room and i replied: "Dunno, she was lying here by default"
Well spoken!

Click the signatures tab under the identification section on the left side of HWBot home page. You will then see a bunch of sigs including two of the one you are currently using at the top of the page. The top one will be one you are currently using and the other one that is stored on the remote signature host. Click the force a refresh. Now here is where it gets stupid. For me it refreshed the top sig but not the bottom one. Which ever one it didn't refresh right click that image, and choose "view image" if you are using Firefox. Afterwards, press CTRL+F5 to force a refresh on the image that is being viewed in another tab. If you are using Google Chrome you will have to right click the image, then copy image url and paste it in a new tab and then do the Ctrl + F5 trick. If using Explorer, right click the image, then properties and copy the url within it and paste in new tab. Then Ctrl + F5.
