But you can't pull the legs off the spider! Not very realistic. :-D

I am currently in country side and yesterday I left my notebook on the floor and ants seems to have found new home in it. There are lots of tiny red ants coming out of keyboard every now and then and I can see them through the spaces between keys. Any solution to get rid of them ? :confused: I command them to get out of my notebook but they are very tough and didn't listen to the command. :)

We think they came from South America (aboard ship, not walking), so could be anywhere else, too. Nasty little guys. Bazillions of them running around here. And they bite.

Use some canned air to try to get them out, or just suffocate them and spray them out.

Open up the notebook and place it in a containter. Then close the container and light a cigarette and blow the smoke into the container. Eventually the smoke should kill them off. :)

Then he'll have a bunch of dead ants in his system, but good idea.

Buying a new laptop?
The funniest thing about this particular signature is that by the time you realise it doesn't say anything it's too late to stop reading it.

True, but going to hell here would be much help. Then he'd lose the laptop for good!

1. use a vacuum cleaner 2. use pressurized air. 3. kill them using other methods (CO2, ...). 4. Remove the battery, put the laptop on a bag and then on the fridge for half an hour... all the metal parts will freeze and then put the laptop without the bag under the sun. It is the second time I see this question here... It is amazing that this could happen once... Truly amazing that it could happen twice... Ultra-truly amazing that it has happened to two different :bob:ians... :rolleyes:

Of course as architect I only point out the general solution. It is your job apply all the fancy paradigm de jour's to it. Otherwise, why would we still keep you around? :D

Try... Compressed Air Can, Vacuum, Air Blower, or put your laptop in Sunlight for few hours (lid open)... dont try to type on it until you get rid of ants, otherwise you will kill them with the key stroke and then it will be difficult to clean up the sticky key... :)

Know a lot about that, do you?
This is not the age of reason, this is the age of flummery, and the day of the devious approach. Reason’s gone into the backrooms where it works to devise means by which people can be induced to emote in the desired direction.
