Somebody didn't read the community profile... OPEN FIRE!

Actually, this is a repeat moron. *pauses for thought* I do belive that heavier artillery than usual is needed.

ahahahahahahahahaha ::inhales:: ahahahahahahahahaha

Good luck with that "computer related job", dude.

I think we can find him a job with an electronic cash register, there's gotta be some convenience stores he can try :).

HUH?

[dr-atheist.livejournal.com]

God you picked the wrong community for this....

[eikichi-onizuka.livejournal.com]

I'll be glad to help.

Here's the easiest way to do that:

1. Take one blank DVD-R or DVD-RW.
2. Break into three sharp shards.
3. Bend over, and jam these shards straight up your ass while turning them in circles.

Once you're over the anal bleeding, ask this question in a community that actually deals with them.

Asking questions about things you should know if you want a certain job is not bright. And in the wrong community no less.

[linguafranca.livejournal.com]

Could be a 1D-10T error, or possibly just a PEBCAK. I suggest you replace the wetware and try again.

[c0c0c0.livejournal.com]

I second that! What he said!

[ravenshrinkery.livejournal.com]

But the thing is if any of the regulars were to post something like that, we'd probably assume their journal got hijacked, or it just plain wouldn't be funny.

Truth is MUCH funnier than fiction, that's why we're here :).

hey, the millionth monkey evolved so we now have an opening in the "complete works of william shakespeare" project. good luck with the application.

[normie.livejournal.com]

This isn't the first time this guy has posted here, I think he's obviously a troll.

[ravenshrinkery.livejournal.com]

I bet he's just illiterate, but this is why we flame them, of course. BURN THE TROLL!

Alright. Easy as pie.

Are you using a windows system? The first thing you'll need to od is put the DVD very close to the data. So open up the case (a tiny screwdriver should do the trick) and then locate the hard drive. it'll be closed up. no problem. A hex driver will get that baby right open. Now place the dvd into teh hard drive right by the disks that hold your data. You can cram if it doesn't quite fit. Don't worry, they're tough.

Now simply put it all back together and turn it back on. The system should recognise the new data and incorperate it seamlessly for you.

Man, I love computers.

PUT IT IN THE MIRCORWAVE TAHTS HOW I RBRUN MY DVDZ

[shifuimam.livejournal.com]

After a really, really long night at work, complete with fucking morons who think Windows Updates is a BAD thing (Service Pack 1? Billybob said I didn't need that!), this was a good laugh.

Two thumbs up. Fine holiday fun! :)

[ravenshrinkery.livejournal.com]

Never underestimate the vengance of an underpaid tech support guy, or a whole bunch of gender-neutral tech support people. Especially when such tasty, tasty flamebait walks right in front of us that's so flaming already :).

[tmercenary.livejournal.com]

Your trying to illegally profit from making a copy of a movie, aren't you?

Gonna have to have the MPAA come down on your arse. Watch out for the jackbooted thugs!

my mother told me that if i can't say anything nice not to say anything at all...

[oggsmith.livejournal.com]

hi, i'm an idiot and i don't know how to read. please take my computer away from me because i'm obviously too stupid to know how to use it.

"big file" read i'm trying to burn a copyrighted movie and the nero that come with my dvd burner won't let me do it. will someone please help me do this illegal operation???

if you're too stupid to figure this out why would anyone want to give you a computer related job. bahh.

Re: my mother told me that if i can't say anything nice not to say anything at all...

This is why we set up the community in the first place. This is not a place to post your questions on how to operate your computer which from the sound of it...sounds like you shouldn't have one! I'll only say two things.

1. Read the profile of this community. It says in plain black and white that this is not a place for you to post technical questions, and if you do be prepared to hear heat for it.

2. I can't believe that you posted this question here. This is why we hate users, and then we also hate people like you who are interested in getting a computer job...it gives us nightmares!

[brutalentropy.livejournal.com]

A common misconception is that you have to "burn" DVDs... the proper way is to take your target disk (the one you want to burn) and the blank disc (ya know, the one that has nothing on it).

Place the target disk in the toaster (you will here this referred to as toast)

Once it's warmed up, place the target disk and the blank DVD in a pot, fill it with water, and boil it. The source disk will then write itself onto the blank media.

This process is referred to as a burn in, also sometimes called a boiling point.

(yes, I am at my boiling point after spending 8 hours on the phone today with PEBCAM folk)

[swwinchester.livejournal.com]

Once again, I will help you, seeing as I'm apparently the 'nice guy' of the community.

Step 1 : Unplug your computer from the internet. The internet is a very advanced system, and one you should not be using at this point in your career. Don't worry, you can get back on later.

Step 1, part B : Turn yourself into the MPAA for downloading this 'big data that obviously can't be burned by normal means', and smack yourself in the forehead for having the lack of foresight to ask us to help you burn illegal data, ESPECIALLY after the replies you got from us last time. If you really are just trying to back up a hard drive and can't get it to work, then go no further, give up on the internet, get rid of your computer, and accept that you are not suited to use high technology in your every day life. There are plenty of good jobs open to you still, so don't worry too much about that.

Step 2 : Go down to your community college. Enroll yourself in computer classes. You need them, BADLY. I told you this last time, but obviously, you haven't listened to a word I had said. Hopefully, this time, you will. I doubt it, but I'm the kind of optimist who hopes someone will listen if I keep repeating myself to them a lot.

Step 3 : Complete the classes. Your net objective is to have an MCSE, so take all the required courses.

Step 4 : After you manage to get an MCSE, you will then want a CISCO certification, along with A+ and Net+ certifications. You are NOT allowed back on the internet until you have at least the MCSE and A+ certifications. Furthermore, you should consider yourself banned from posting in this community until you can scan in copies of your MCSE and A+ certification cards and post the images of them for us all to see - WITHOUT HAVING TO ASK US FOR HELP ON HOW TO DO THAT OR WHERE TO PUT THE IMAGES YOU HAVE SCANNED FOR US TO SEE THEM (If you do that, you're going to be mocked for life, even if you do become some uber-tech). At that point in time, we will finally accept further posts from you without automatically mocking and ridiculing your existence. I do believe everyone else will agree with me that that is fair ..........

If that sounds too difficult, then I have some really bad news for you.

You aren't going to get a job in computers. People who HAVE these certifications are having a hard time of getting work in the field. People who ACTUALLY HAVE A CLUE WHAT THEY ARE DOING AND UNDERSTAND THE CONCEPTS OF 'RTFM' AND 'LART' ARE NOT ABLE TO GET WORK IN THE FIELD. Hell, I can't get work in the field, and I am no slouch with teching. When you have the certifications, and a clue what the hell you are doing (which may or may not come with them, but we'll be the judge of that later) you stand a shot in hell at getting work with the rest of us.

Being able to post to LJ does not qualify you for work in this industry.
Posting to this community actually screws your chances of getting work in this industry, as EVERY LAST ONE OF US will actively keep an eye out for you, and will turn down your job application on sight, without any questions asked, and if you're lucky, we won't break out the 2x4's and sledgehammers we tend to keep around the office for 'wetware repair' ... we'll just laugh at you until you leave the building. If you're ever unfortunate enough to BE working with one of us, and get discovered, we will make your life at work so miserable you will quit. We're all quite intelligent and generally very good at subtle attack methods - by and large, we have to manage our bosses.

So, in summary, in case you don't feel like reading all of that ... stop polluting our web space, get a dose of clue, go to school, work hard, and someday, you may just be a techie, but right now, you need to look at REALITY (I know, it's frightening, but you gotta do it), and realize that when it comes to these things, you're a class 1-a fuckin' moron, so you aren't going to get work doing it. I'm sure you have some actual skills in something, so I encourage you to seek work that uses your skills. If you don't have any other real skills, I hear Taco Bell is hiring ...

A computer related job? Thank Christ I'm the other side of the Atlantic (it's that big bit of water on a globe, jsut to the right of Florida) and will never have to deal with your fuckups.

...just for the record, I have no problem with the severe flaming of this guy.

P.S You're a tool.

Ok... here is what you do... you use the same software that you do for burning CDs.
Make sure that you go out and buy the DVD blanks that say DL on them. Yes they are exspensive... you will want to buy like 10 of them just to make sure you have enough.

Before putting them into your computer put them all in the microwave over for about 20 seconds, or if you don't have that put them in a standard oven for about 45 min.

Oh and for your job search.. make sure to add on there that you are a fully quallified network administrator.

yanno, before you go looking for that tech job of your dreams, you might want to fix the markup on your user page (http://www.livejournal.com/userinfo.bml?user=leo2003).
