Would cost a lot.

Think how expensive it could be to keep yourself entertained in all those hours currently whiled away for virtually no cost online.
idk, what if i get a really good paying job where i have to use the internet? 1 mill wouldn't be that much in that case. i need to be set for life.
I demand a LOT if it means I lose contact with the outside world, Juventus and all the sweet knowledge I'll have to exchange with ignorance.

A LOT!
Just think of the internet pages you browse daily, and that without internet your life would be almost like that of your parents (my parents don't use internet) who are alive, healthy and happy :D

Pay someone to be my on-call internet person: $24,000 a year x 80 years = $1,920,000

+

To make it worthwhile for me: Travel + Entertainment allowance = $30,000 + $6,000 = $36,000 ; $36,000 x 80= $2,880,000

= $4,800,000

@swag, when are you coming back to Bangalore?
As freaking hot as its been by you guys lately?! :confused:

Hopefully not again until the next Juve season. :D

For how much money will you agree to never use the internet anymore?

@swag
Since my career has been directly Internet related for the past 18 years, this is basically a request to kill my primary livelihood. So asking for a few million bucks is pretty reasonable in my case.

So @swag, I have landed a Gaggia Classic along with a grinder. I got a bag of roasted coffee beans but with three attempts last night I failed in making a decent drinkable coffee shot.

Just found this amazing thing and wanted to share:

A professor stood before his philosophy class and had some items in front of him. When the class began, he wordlessly picked up a very large and empty mayonnaise jar and proceeded to fill it with golf balls. He then asked the students if the jar was full. They agreed that it was.

The professor then picked up a box of pebbles and poured them into the jar. He shook the jar lightly. The pebbles roll
ed into the open areas between the golf balls. He then asked the students again if the jar was full. They agreed it was.

The professor next picked up a box of sand and poured it into the jar. Of course, the sand filled up everything else. He asked once more if the jar was full.. The students responded with a unanimous 'yes.’

The professor then produced two Beers from under the table and poured the entire contents into the jar effectively filling the empty space between the sand.The students laughed..

'Now,’ said the professor as the laughter subsided, 'I want you to recognize that this jar represents your life. The golf balls are the important things—-your family, your children, your health, your friends and your favorite passions—-and if everything else was lost and only they remained, your life would still be full. The pebbles are the other things that matter like your job, your house and your car.. The sand is everything else—-the small stuff.

'If you put the sand into the jar first,’ he continued, 'there is no room for the pebbles or the golf balls. The same goes for life.

If you spend all your time and energy on the small stuff you will never have room for the things that are important to you.

Pay attention to the things that are critical to your happiness.

Spend time with your children. Spend time with your parents. Visit with grandparents. Take your spouse out to dinner. Play another 18. There will always be time to clean the house and mow the lawn.

Take care of the golf balls first—-the things that really matter. Set your priorities. The rest is just sand.

One of the students raised her hand and inquired what the Beer represented. The professor smiled and said, 'I’m glad you asked.’ The Beer just shows you that no matter how full your life may seem, there’s always room for a couple of Beers with a friend.
