New rule, effective retroactively to 11/17/03:

[fuego.livejournal.com]

Anyone claiming to be a network tech who cannot tell me what OS they're running will be immediately stripped of the title and retitled "Village Idiot".

As a corollary to this rule, there is no limit to the number of idiots which may be assigned to one village; however if the number of idiots becomes unmanageable, smaller geographical divisions may be assigned.

I hate to be a pedantic ass but the rant/rule was ruined by the misspelling of corollary. :) *Hugs*

That icon is entrancing is a sick, sick way...

If it keeps up, at this rate I'll have to give it its own journal one day. :)

I don't have the exact mathematical calculations handy, but there is definitely a finite number of idiots that may be assigned to each geographical location. Exceed that number, and you run the risk of their collective density overwhelming the gravitational balance of the locale, thereby causing it to implode and form a black hole.

So THAT'S what happened at Ford! It's all so clear to me now.

Yeah, it's the same formulae that brings the infinite monkey arguments to a complete and utter crashing halt. It's kinda a godwin in those situations

Damn you astrophysics! *shakes fist* You spoil all the fun.

That phrase always brings to lines to mind:

"It takes a village to raise an idiot."

and, from Love and Death

Anonymous solder: "Look (pointing at dead body), that is Portchenko. He was the village idiot."

Woody Allen: "Yeah? What did you do? Place?"

You sir, need a good metaquotesing for that second paragraph. May I?

[fuego.livejournal.com]

yeah sure....but I'm not a sir.

Oops.

[shirenomad]

You, ma'am, have gotten a good metaquotesing.

I had one the other night in our chat tech support. He kept stating "I'm an IT admin..." Over and over. To see what he was doing wrong, Iwas able to remote to his computer. Every time he took one click, I told him "no those weren't my instructions."

Eventually he abandoned the chat and initiated another one. hahahah! Fucktard.

:boggles:

How can anyone call themselves a 'network tech/admin' and not know what OS they're running?

That's like being a politician and not knowing what party they're in.

My heads going all 'splody.

[darkblade1.livejournal.com]

Agreed on that statement totally.
