Recycle bin

I was wondering… you know how when we delete a file and it goes to the recycle bin? Well, why is it named the recycle bin? What exactly are we recycling anyway? It’s not like we got anything new once we put something in the bin. Is it?


Confused Yaz.

I think it is because when you put a file into it, you can always restore that file and re-use it (provided that you don't empty your recycle bin).

by the way yazid, there are a lot of other important stuff to think about other than trivial matters like this :P

Yeah, but you can do that with normal bins as well.

By the way, it does say 'random things' in the description. And you know I don't like politics... and stuffs. Oh well, don't worry, I'll throw in a few serious posts every now and then =)
