Sheesh that one has got to be the WINNER

 

I just found this one :
Damn this is taking awhile. Don't worry, someone'll help ya.

 

Hey Dromano TimW and me have the copyrights to that one so cough up $$$$$$$$$

 

Here is what i think about that

 

now the reply

 

Found this one today fortunately not on MG

Sorry dude, I am stumped.

 

Better to be "Stumped" than "Root Bound"

 

Just watch out Timmie that "Penguin" looks kinda mean with fly swatter and all

 

Perhaps related is when one is attempting to fix a user's issue, and then finally the OP states they fixed the issue, but never explains what they did to fix it.

 

I couldn't find this post (it was a while back) and in response to a P4 overheat issue. Sheesh . . .

Gee, buy a new one! Why didn't I think of that!!

 

Ran into this one today, and I hate to say it but it was here on MG, just a reminder peeps, some sarcastic help is no help at all.


I think there may be a way to get around it, but it may not be worth the effort.

Grown-ups use individual security apps.

(Oooch)

 

Problem:

Help:

 

I ran into these at a different forum board, and it is no wonder why I don't ask for help there anymore.

"Format and reinstall you f***ing n00b and quit wasting our time." After I told this person that wasn't an option, "Sucks to be you." (I still wonder what was so important about this person's time...)

"Throw that piece of s**t in the trash and buy a real computer" (said to an Apple owner)

"Mabe if u weren't so ignerint, u wuldn't have ishus." (I just loved this one)

 

Hey Burning Monkey with those three I think you've found the winners......The last one is totally priceless the person can't spell and can't give advice. I wonder if he/she can spell "Idiot"

 

ROFLMAO......this would defiantly have to be my all time favorite LOL

 

that last one is priceless. its such a shame when people behave in this way. it blackens everybody's name. when i reccomend MG to other people, i often get replies like "stay away from all those people". "the geeks are the worst ones". "if you sign on to geek sites they just scr*w with you",and "the geeks are the ones who are causing all the problems, they think its funny to mess you up"
i always defend this site and cant understand why some of my friends feel this way. it doesn't really register with me that there are hundreds of 'geek' sites and if the above are real quotes, i can see why people would be reticent about opening themselves to that kind of verbal abuse, and the possibility that people on these sites can somehow 'get into' your puter and damage/distroy it.
my particular 'piece of sh*t' may not be the biggest, bestest puter in the world, but i had to save hard to get it, (and by 'save' i mean go without a great many things for a very long time) and is as valuable a piece of equipment as any faster, better, geekier one.
i feel blessed by running into this site first, (the devil might be in the machinery, but GOD LOVES ME lol) and i would therefore like to extend my heartfelt thanks to all on this site, hard-core geeks and newbies alike, for not only being considerate, helpful, and welcoming, but also for laying a standard for others to aspire to. mahalo nui loa, (thank you very much)

 

Great post laurieB, I think it is the one we should always keep in our hearts, its too easy at times to see a post and say to ones self sheesh is that person dumb or what, we sometimes too quickly forget that we asked the same dumb questions, when we first started. I know I did, and can remember the many who helped and the few who just dripped sarcasm with their posts.

Thanks laurieB for the post and reminding me.

 

I'm in a writing group, and I learned, partly by watching, that the critiquing requires as much care as the writing itself, and that it also takes time and experience to get better at it.

Yeh...very cool laurie!

Have often had these thoughts and reaction from friends, their loss i say!

Majorgeeks rocks!...sadly, only the true geeks will ever know.

Regards...

 

yeah, I recomend this site to ever one and if there is any bad talking of my fellow geeks here, I lay down a reality check.

The guys/girls in the Malware forum are so professional that it would make up for anything else ever in my opinion. Although I do feel like I am abusing their good nature and free advice with my constant threads

 

Stariing to feel the same about myself in the software forum

 

Too bad some of these people aren't paid staff. I'd dish out a hell of a tip if that were true.

 

this was on Apple Discussions -

"my ipod wont turn on!!!! Help!!!!!!"

next post,

"Im having the same problem!!! how did you fix it????"


No lie, someone posted this..

Not an unhelpful answer in a thread, but this was said to me by Gateway Tech Support this weekend trying to resolve issues with my lappy, and made me laugh....

"Just follow the instructions to the letter, and nothing can go wrong....."


Wanna bet?

 

What could go wrong with a format and re-install.

 

Is that some sort of tribal song for the retarded?

 

No, I think he's trying to tell us what he should do with his post (RAM-it?)

 

Star, this was a really funny post, but why does the link lead to a single post rather than the thread? I tried taking the post 9 out of the adddress, but it was still only a single post.

@ Halo:
This was great! lolol
and the final post from someone who knows what he's doing
