Ok, what complete twonk decided that, when doing downloads/installations etc, that the last two minutes be divided up into '1 minute remaining' and 'less than a minute remaining', when what they mean is 2 minutes remaining and 1 minute remaining?

Like when I was compiling a CS map I'd made. Didn't move for about 30 hours...

Actually, could we do it with a Boolean operator, namely 'AND,' so that only the combination saland AND fingers. After all, some us might sitll want to have our ****** to use with our utensils to eat *****. I'm not one of them, though.

That'd be bad, cause people would just stick an underscore or an extra space, and they'd both show up...
