How...kuci, both in that you haven't done such a basic thing, and how you attempt to pass it off as justification for continued arrogance.

No, no no, Imran. You have to put that quote, of yourself, in your own profile, find an instance (or make one up) in which a poster praises you and do the same, and then enlist in every civgroup ever conceived. Don't play Civ on a Mac? No big deal. Don't speak a word of Spanish? 'tis but a technicality, one not worthy to keep you from showing the world what a cool person you are.

Without a remote I can't use the tv at all unless the tv is on. The buttons on the tv only allow me to shut off the tv, change the channel and change the volume. Turning on the tv is not possible

Almost all microwaves now have a keypad with 0-9. So, imagine yourself entering your PIN or something.

Avatar Enlargement: We've got the solution

No microwave I've ever had occasion to use had a such keypad.

As for TVs, I used to say that I'd refuse to buy any TV that did not a) have full controls on the box itself, and b) a button on the box to disable the remote, but since I don't watch TV anymore I suppose that's moot.
