It's just Google+ speak. +1 = "I like what you said."
I multiplied it manyfold because I really like what you said.

Absolutely true.    (Not the obtuse part of course).

On the other hand you could enlighten us with why you waste paper 
(trees, energy, $) and ink ($) and the place to store them when 
computers do so so efficiently in all respects while making record 
seeking a question of a simple search.

This after all was supposed to be one of the great benefits of the 
computing age - less paper use - and while that took a long time to get 
going (indeed the opposite is true in most offices ...) with most 
merchants sending statements in pdf (or making them available for 
download) it seems absolutely archaic to print the damned things...

The one that still gets me is the domain name registrar I started out 
with.

Right from the first year's renewal circa 2001 they would send me 2 or 3 
separate letters trying to persuade me to pay by credit card, with only 
the last one containing the actual bill.  Each of the preliminary 
letters was several sheets of paper instead of the single sheet which 
would have sufficed.

They have finally whittled that down to one email and one 2 page letter.  
I have all my other regular bills delivered electronically and it's 
absurd that the one still using paper bills is a domain registrar.

I'll OCR their payment slip to pay it via online banking.

P.S. They have been so determined over the years to persuade me to pay 
by credit card that they triggered my stubborn streak and I'm not 
budging :-)

I have moved all my domains to hover, the first domain registrar that
has not made me feel like i needed a bleach shower after dealing with
them.

I just go a fake spam renewal notice from someone taking up the old
Network solutions tactic of sending a fake bill for $75/year on one of
my domains.

Command-Option-Shift-V pastes with the formatting of the target, not the

Happens to me all the time: I have a USB memory drive that I want to
use to exchange files with someone. I plug it in and erase it by
dragging all of the contents to the trash. However, the files are still
on the drive, so I would like to erase them permanently to free up
space on the drive and not give extraneous files to the recipient. 

I can empty the trash, but since I don't usually bother emptying the
trash, I could have several gigabytes of files on my desktop computer.
This means if I do empty the trash to clean the USB drive, I will have
to wait for the desktop trash to be deleted as well. I would like to be
able to empty the trash on just the USB memory drive.

then you ought to empty it a bit more often.

do you leave trash piling up in your house for months at a time?

But you can be bothered to end up in a situation where you can't empty 
the trash on your USB drive to free up space w/o emptying trashes on 
other drives that you don't want to empty but that you don't really care 
about anyway?

yes, and since whatever is in the trash is not needed, that doesn't
matter.

you also gain some free space for other files.

Why not just reformat the drive?

And why would that necessitate emptying ONLY the USB trash? The items in
the trash are in the TRASH. Do you sort through your kitchen trash and
think, "Hmm, maybe I'll hang on to these coffee grounds for a bit, and
that banana peel might be useful..."?

He asked how he could empty the trash only on the USB drive; I gave him a 
suggestion on how to do it.  Unlike you, I did not voice a value judgement.

No, I don't; nor do I use my Mac's trash can as a storage bin; I know 
better than that.

But when someone does something that's ill advised, and it doesn't affect 
you, why do you get so upset?

Oh, and by the way, there's a difference between a trash can and a garbage 
can.

I didn't voice a value judgement, I voiced a question why someone would
want to keep items that are in the trash.

Is there? Trash and garbage are perfect synonyms for me.

garbage is typically stuff that can rot, smell or attract rodents or
animals, namely food. 

trash is everything else, such as paper, plastic, etc. it can sit in a
pile for years.
