Well this is a gosh darned cunt of a thing.

Forgive me just this once for making a non mechanical thread in here, but I am pretty sure that this is actually the best place on totse to get the answers I'm looking for.

I don't know how to use the .bak files, but I guess that's where I'd start. How do I do that?

The .dwg file itself has seemingly corrupted, and now says that it is 0kB in size.

I am working on a large project and have put 4 hours worth of finishing touches and polishing into this particulr file, so I don't want to have to revert back to an earlier stage in the project and do it all again.

I save all the time, but I only make duplicates (for backup) at the end of every session, so I have lost a solid 4 hours worth of work, and being that the deadline is tomorrow, I am up the creek if I can't recover the project.

Thank you very much,
- Cowboy.

Speaking of Mac fans, I was at school and I was in Backtrack.

I was having little trouble with it, and a mac fan came up to me and said that they could help, they were really good with computers.

I thought "Ok, let's let her give it a go"

As soon as she sat down, she was absolutely baffled by Linux. She asked me what version of Windows this was, I said it wasn't windows.

So, she asked if Mac had made a new profile (Yes, she said profile)

I said it was linux. She gave me a blank stare as though she had gone catatonic.

Then, she proceeded to play with the shell I had open. She typed in, quite possibly, the most childish and stupid commands I've ever seen.

She asked what I wanted to do and I said I wanted to crack the schools WEP protected wireless.

She typed in "Hack wireless"

She got an error code, and said my computer must be broken.

I proceeded to laugh hysterically and walk away crying with laughter.

The end.

I'm using AutoDesk AutoCAD 2007, and not that it matters, but I am using Windows XP.

You did bang her for good measure though, right?

No, because she's harrier than a man.
