  1. can you pls elaborate on the details of your job function, in the 30 years experience in the computer industry?

    Respectfully yours,

  2. Not unless you're making me a job offer. I'm presently semi-retired and hope to stay that way. Its much more fun being your own boss and so I dabble here and there mostly consulting work when the mood hits me. I'm really flattered some are so curiously about what I've done. Some have taken that comment as a boast. It was offered merely to say I've been around the block a few times. I've worked for companies you'd know if I mentioned them, others you wouldn't know. I gave up the rat race for three reasons. I got tired of traveling, I accomplished about 80% of what I set out to do and I finally wised up that family is more important than career. That's all I care to say.

  3. he is a salesman just read his posts and every word screams out he is a victim of 30 years of marketing, so much so he no longer even has the ability to recognise the difference between a fact and an oppinion.
    peace out,
    dumwaldo

    AWW MA! you know i'm not like other guys. i get nervous and my socks are to loose.

    Just to be fair to speedy, I know he has a valid opinion and beleive that he has 30 years under his belt. That counts for something in my book, no matter what it was doing. I didnt take it as a boast, more of a way of gaining an advantage. Like in poker, you dont lay all your cards on the table from the outset. I can see he has a good head for business and I will draw my own conclusions from that. That is why we had a disagreement about Linux, I am a programmer (ya, OK... Junior programmer =]) and he is a business man. Conflicting interests.
    Anyways, that thread had (and is still with its latest posts) me in stitches. Fishing is fun.

  5. Hey, I had to buy a new belt. The ones I wore when I was working don't fit any more. My pants don't either. Gives new meaning to the phrase 'fat cat'...

    and just to be fair to everybody else i dont believe he has 30 years of experience. in the other htread i clearly outlined how his timeline of experience does not match the factual timeline of computer evolution. he is a decade off on everything he asserts he did. according to his claims he was working on late 50's technology in the late 60's, he owned a home computer that never existed, he can't figure out how to work a link without directions.

    i am sure that sitting behind that telemarketing table at DELL for 2 or 3 years might FEEL like 30 years but in reality it is not 30 years of experience. myself, you (d4n13|), sefy and others have pointed out glaring inconsistancies and inaccuracies in his logic and reasoning and the best speedy could muster was to make personal attacks to distract attention from the fact that he really has no technical knowledge to dispute what is outlined to him.

    at best he was a salesman for a tech company but i am more inclined to think he is a 13 year old kid trolling the forum and making up lies based on stuff he has seen in movies. he can not provide any credentials to support his claims of experience, he can not provide any links (except that one windows fan site) to support his oppinions, and he has not managed to provide any factual information at all.

    make no mistake about it, speedy has NO knowledge that could be of help to others with regards to windows XP. he is just another silly kid that was duped into running Win XP and wowed by the pretty GUI, now he can't bear the thought that he could have made a HUGE mistake and rather than look at the situation objectivley and honestly he would rather spew marketing rhetoric and tell himself the facts are not true.

    just look how he handles my posts. i shred everything he says and provide links that support my statements. i show how respected and accepted computer experts disagree with the things speedy says. i offer advice how people can seek out their own unobjective advice to discover speedy is wrong and speedy replies you are dumb. thats it, the best he could do to dispute any of my well supported claims is say you are dumb.

    daniel i have followed many of your posts in the past and i do have respect for your opinion but i am really very surprised that you have fallen for this childs antics. don't let him snow you, based on his posts i dont see how someone could believe he is 30 years old let alone has 30 years of experience at anything.
    peace out,
    dumwaldo

    AWW MA! you know i'm not like other guys. i get nervous and my socks are to loose.

  7. Mr. dumwaldo, I assure you don't want me to pick apart all the inconsistenties you've made just in this thread. Lets just focus on a couple. Your attempt to match my experience to some timeline of computer evolution was rather lame.

    Your basis as I remember it was you poked around on web sites to gleam the information having no real world experince yourself with main frames. The timeline that you said showed when such and such computer came into production was your basis for disputing what I said. That about right?

    There are several flaws in that simplistic logic. First you didn't ask nor did I reveal WHAT make or model mainframe I was referring to. You also made the rather foolish assumption that as soon as model D comes out everyone in corporate American gets rid of models A-B-C. Hardly.

    You as a carpenter surely don't run out and buy a new hammer everytime you see a new one in a store do you? Computers cost much more than hammers. Lots more. Because of that most companies don't buy them, they rent them!

    The mainframe I was referring to was LEASED. You see Waldo, the company I was working for was locked in to the older model. They could have upgraded the lease arrangement at a premium, but since we hard the old beast huming along there was no real reason to do so. I still remember the week we got rid of it. Put the old one in the lunchroom nobody could get in since it blocked the doorway because moving it we broke a leg off then it was stuck half in the lunchroom and half in the hall! Damn, those things were heavy! By waiting we got a newer, faster model at a cheaper price a few years later.

    Here's a third flaw in your assumptions. Not once have I even hinted at what my responsibilites were during those 30 years. I simply said I had 30 years experince. I did that deliberately knowing full well you and a couple others would jump at the chance to speculate and end up looking foolish in doing so. That is starting to happen. Imagine how much more foolish you will look if I do decide to give a detailed resume of what I did during those 30 years.

    Of course people love to get computer advice from carptners, so keep plugging away waldo!

    You shread everything I say? You can't even insert a working URL into your post and notice it is broken. Geez. Your biggest accomplishment seems to be that you discovered the quote button.

    News flash for Waldo. You don't find many "computer experts" writing for computer magazines or the web site du juor. The good ones are simply too busy. You could hang out in any number of Microsoft public newsgroups for XP and you'll find several Microsoft MVP's. To get that certification I assure you is far more than tacking on 'certified computer technician' like some other wannabe does here.

    ok i will explain this slowly without using any fancy words you will not understand. use the little hand thingy to move the little pointy thingy on the screen. get that little arrow just to the left of the first letter in the link. the arrow thingey will turn into another thingey that looks like a capitol letter I. now hold down the button on the left side of the hand thingey and move it to the right. if you did it correctly (sorry for the big word) the words will change from black letters on a while background to white letters on a black background. keep moving the hand thingey till all the letters and stuff in the link is white letters on a black background and then let go of the hand thingey. now this next step is very hard you will need to use 2 buttons on that button thingey in front of you at the same time. find the button that says Ctrl on it and hold that one down. now find the button wth the C on it and press that for a moment. now you can let go of that Ctrl button. ok dude you are into the homestretch now. at the top of the screen find where it says http://www. and pot the pointy thingy on the screen over it using the hand thingey next to the keyboard. once you have the arrow over the letters it should turn into one of those I thingeys again. when that happens press the button on the left side of that hand thingey. that will make the words turn from black letters on white background to white letters on a black background. now hold down that Ctrl button again and press the button with the V on it. the words under the pointy thingey will change. now find the button that says Enter on it and press that buutton. some magic will happen on your screen and the things will change. things will look completely different and the words will say different things. when that happens you will be at another website and can relax, you figured out how to work a link.

    the link is not broken, the forum is. nobody can make a link with commas.

    damn dude you are right... what was i thinking listening to steve gibson, cnet, zdnet, and the register when they are obviously just fly by night nobodies. after all any real computer expert is way to busy to share his knowledge with others. instead from now on i will get my information from newsgroups where you know things are true and there is no possibility that some stupid kid like you could post complete drivel with total anonimity and never have to take accountability for their statements.

    while i enjoy downloading some entertainment from the newsgroups, and i will turn to them for help from time to time i would hardly consider usenet to be a reliable source for information. again you must have read a book or seen newsgroups in a movie somewhere because usenet lost its informaional edge a long time ago when the www came about and the people that were sharing information found better venues to reliably share that information. i guess you never noticed this because you need to go past the first page of results in your AOL search engine to discover this but a great deal of the content on the world wide web is document based for informational purposes. but hey at least you are consistant, again you missed the propper time frame by about a decade. there are plenty of hobbiests left on usenet but the professionals use much more reliable means of communication these days.


    while i am revising my informational gathering process could you give me the websites for the national enquirer and world weekly news so i can replace those useless associated press, cnn and bbc bookmarks? i really need a more reliable source for world news as well.

    interesting you should say this because being a professional carpenter (look up union membership in an encylopedia) i do purchase new tools when innovations are made. when i joined the union i purchased a plumb bob that was nothng more than a pointed weight on a string. shortly after that an inovation was made and someone developed a tension loaded device designed to hang a plumb bob easily in a number of ways. now if i were a hobiest i could have kept on using my old fashioned plumb bob but being a professional i got a new one that would keep my work on a professional level.

    sure my example is rather inexpensive but it is just an example. i could have used your specific example of a hammer and explained to you how the impact absorbing handle changed every professionals in a matter of a few years. you see professionals understand that regardless of the cost productivity tools (such as computers) are NOT productive if you are using yesterdays technology.

    i carefully detailed and explained how tubed computers were replaced with chip technology in 1959 and the first commercial mainframe was released in 1960. then in 1964 the concept of cross compatibility came about with a new mainframe release. those are the 2 sigle developments that are responsible for all mainframes even to this day. so you must have been employed by a company that had the insight to forsee the usefullness of a mainframe as far back as the 50's but then sat complacently doing nothing for a decade while the world passed them by with the 2 most important developments in mainframe history. oh yeah it was leased and they were locked in so they figured it was more cost effective to not pay a premium and just use the incompatible and outdated technology for a few more years because "the old beast huming along there was no real reason to do so" but it seems to me i just outlined 2 incredibly important reasons to do so. either the companies tech people (you) were cluless idiots or you are making up a story. amusing antecdote about breaking the leg off though, any decent liar will tell you it is those small details that make the difference.

    so speedy i previously said you were a salesman and you said that was wrong but i could have 2 more guesses. i can see now where i made my mistake. you see salesman and politician are so close to each other in nature it is hard to tell them apart. in both feilds it is important to be able to tell a bold faced lie then stand by it as fact with the strength and conviction to not back down regardless of how much evidence you are presented.

    speedy, you are Al Gore, inventor of the internet

    I've got an Estwing too, they sure do kick ass as far as hammers go.

  11. d4n13l, I thought speedy and Bill Gates were the inventors of the Internet ? but then again, since speedy supports monopoly, there wouldn't be any Internet.

    speedy, I see you just can't stop bashing can you ? propably a defect in your personality, I was trying to give you credit, and by the way, i don't really care what your job is, or the 30 years experience in nothing that you have, I picked on it just like you pick on my Certification (I also have a Microsoft one, but I don't want to use it, it's disgusting to even mention it, but man, what would you think of your beloved Microsoft then!).

    So far the only reason I want you to say your job, is so that we all know what is the superior job that puts all other jobs to a mockery in your book, cause you seem to keep forgeting, that without the little people, the big people wouldn't be anywhere.

  12. Hey Waldo, is "thingey" a technical term carptners use?

    As usual you missed my point. The idea behind embedded links is so they can be point and click. I know already it is the forum software causing the problem because of the commas. I told you that several dozen posts ago.

    A responsible poster (your not) would see immediately that his link was "broken" and either replace it, fix it or offer a way around it or what's the point of offering it? The links as you offered them are indeed broken if they don't function correctly.

    Hint: That's the reason they normally show up in red. SO THEY CAN BE CLICKED ON AS PRESENTED SO YOU GET TAKEN TO THE WEB PAGE THE LINK IS INTENDED FOR.

    I know I stepped on your toes and that REALLY pissed you off. My experience with people that can't admit they made a mistake (you did) and instead go on and on trying to justify their error are wound too tight. You need to relax man! Geez, I pointed out a tiny mistake you made. You keep trying to make a federal case out of it.

    PLEASE remove your foot from your mouth! You judge a "professional" carptner by if or not he carries a union card? Well sir, the home I live in was built by card carying union members. In several spots the floors squeak, and looking in the basement the reason why is obvious. They missed the floor joists. By inches. In several other spots the walls are off the square.You would probably write both defects off as using the wrong "thingey" I suspose.

    Waldo needed to cackle:

    "I carefully detailed and explained how tubed computers were replaced with chip technology in 1959 and the first commercial mainframe was released in 1960. then in 1964 the concept of cross compatibility came about with a new mainframe release. those are the 2 sigle developments that are responsible for all mainframes even to this day. so you must have been employed by a company that had the insight to forsee the usefullness of a mainframe as far back as the 50's but then sat complacently doing nothing for a decade while the world passed them by with the 2 most important developments in mainframe history."

    You carefully spewed a line of bullshit on main frame computers based on some half ass unnamed web site totally disgreading the realities of the economics of the situtation. I was involved in the decision to keep the old main frame. Because of it the company saved a bundle, some of which I and my staff got as a Christmas bonus as a thank you for not busting the budget. That was reason enough from my viewpoint NOT to upgrade at that time.

    From the practical side all that was run was accounting programs. Time wasn't an issue. The newer machines were faster sure, but last time I checked there hasn't been any improvement in math. So 2+ 2 was still 4 regardless what model mainframe was used. The only time a intensive task was running was the once a month inventory analysis. Using the old main frame it usually got done around 6 AM. The new mainframe model would have finished around 2AM.

    Memo to Waldo: Accountants, auditors, and financial executives aren't know to arrive for work at 2 AM. Not 6 AM either so you see Waldo you just dug yourself another hole by pretending to know what you're talking about. What is clear is you don't know squat about main frames... except what you read on web pages.

    Just wondering when are going to wave the white flag Waldo? Everything you tried to claim has been proved total bullshit. You don't know how to post workable links, you know zip about main frames. By your own admission your computer "knowledge" comes from newsgroups and web sites.

    How did you learn how to be a carptner? You must have watched "This Old House" with Bob Vila.

    http://www.bobvila.com/

  13. And where is your knowledge from speedy ? sure you can bash on everyone for what they do, because they got the decensy to give a reply to questions, while you seem to be so ashamed of your own job, that you can't even give any of us the name of it, the superior job which puts all other jobs to shame: Shoe Salesman!

  14. I think it is time for everyone to take two steps back and a deep breath. This thread is obviously going nowhere.

    speedy doesn't have to give his credentials if he doesn't want to and I asked the question in the *other* thread more out of curiousity than anything else. I'm willing to take on faith that he has "30 years of experience" with computing technology as I don't really care whether he has or not (I'm not offering him a job).

    If I had moderator status over off topic threads, this one would be CLOSED.

  15. vitualis, close the topic ? and ruin all the fun ? you can't tell me you haven't enjoyed it even one bit ?
    See, like you, I couldn't care less what Speedy does, for all I see, he has 30 years in bullshitting people, which is propably why he worked for so many companies, he propably got sacked all the time for being nothing but a rude and bitter old goat.

    The only reason I want him to say his job title, is so we can all know what gives him the right to laugh at every other jobs out there which seem to be a laughing stuck for him.

    Very entertaining.

  18. Well, atleast I got someone on my side here

  20. Hey I resent that remark! My hair isn't falling out. However I've noticed it starting to grow in on my back, which for sure I don't like.

    Nobody is more ammused over these threads then I am. Sefy as been exposed as nothing more than a bad mouthed wild-eyed Microsoft basher wannabe. Rarely do you find someone as young as Sefy with so many narcissistic qualties. How precious. That all by itself made the threads worthwhile.

    --------------------------------------
    Not taking part here, but just to clear up about "Bob Vila" and "This Old House".
    "This Old House" (Sometimes know as "This Old House with Steve and Norm" ) is actually presented by Norm Abram and Steve [insert surname here]. Bob Vila has his own show, which in my opinion sucks (too much for DIYers than for tradesmen). Whereas Norm Abram is a real master carpenter, a real craftsman if ever I have seen one. He even has his own little show, "New Yankee Workshop", which I love. I even made one of his tables once. Though I used Pine and not Mahogany. LOL, thought it best to leave the Mahogany tables to him!
    ---------------------------------------
    Anyways, keep this up guys. This is the best laugh I have had for ages. Better than any WWF bitchslapping yarn!

  22. Ohhh.. i'm so hurt.. oh god.. please help me.. i'v got bad mouth, oh dear me! if I got a bad mouth, you are propably satan in disguise, ohh,.. maybe that's your job! heck, you worship the devil himself! or you are the devil! lets see:
    You lie about everything
    You are a disgrace to human kind
    An insult to all old people out there
    You were kicked out of the "real world" because you were so rude and disgusting to everyone around you, that to make your ego bloat, you go to teenagers forums to show off your 30 year experience in... well.. doing nothing mostly, but you have done a remarkable job showing us what an idiot you are

    Keep it up, it's very very amusing, oh, and sorry about that remark of you losing your hair, I forgot that at your age it grows all over, in the nose, in the ears, and like you said, in the back, you sure you are not turning into a werewolf ? ROTFLMAO!

    Oh, almost forgot! you also are so ashamed of your job title (being satan worshipper as we now come to understand) that you won't even tell us how close you are to the main man by revealing your job title!

    Oh after all the "bad mouthing" you do to everyone else, you think someone else can't play the same game with you ? heck, I tried being civilized with you, you are the one who can't seem to handle it anymore, go on, you got a part of my life exposed, laugh it at, like I care, I doubt anyone cares, you are the one who has been exposed, just admit it and move on

  23. I wonder if Norm has a "thingey" in is tool box.

    Yea, I agree Norm is really the star which is why I think he left Bob Vila's original show years ago. To those that have watched the original show and the spin offs Vila was the guy trying to be the big cheese, no real talent. Something like the role Sefy plays here. Fun to watch yes.

    I think Vila found his nitch in doing commericals for Sears.

  24. i was trying to use words that would not confuse you.

    i can see i have now found your intellectual level as you seem to enjoy the use of the word thingey so i will try to use it more often.

    BTW
    all those guys are lame.
    peace out,
    dumwaldo

    AWW MA! you know i'm not like other guys. i get nervous and my socks are to loose.

  25. Sefy, haven't you figured out yet I'm just setting you up? I say something a tad provocative knowing full well how you'll respond... which is to confirm what I say about you. You come off very narcissistic. That may be too big a word for you to digest. It means: being conceited, stuck-up, boastful, having an excessively high opinion of oneself which explains the need to tack on "certified computer technician' to every post you make. Contrast that to what I've said about myself which was nothing more than I have thirty years experience. I know you and others are itching to know what that experience may be, may I have no need to elborate. That bugs you it seems.

    You see the reason I'm playing with your instance of tacking on 'certified computer technician' to all your posts is really to help you. During my 30 year career I've worked with several guys that were really stuck-up and came across as world class A holes. My favorite was Joe XXXX who was a controller and a great ass kisser of the company's treasurer. What cracks me up and everyone else was this clown every time he would meet someone new he would introduce himself as Hi, I'm Joe XXX, I'm a MBA. Like who gives a shit. That's what I'm trying to impress on you. I'm sure you're a nice guy, you sound pretty smart, but that isn't the image you're projecting. Take a clue, Joe XXX never could figure out why everyone thought he was such a jerk.

    Lets see if I understand your latest blub. You're saying this forum is a 'teenager forum' and since you made a point of you not being a teen yourself please explain why YOU hang out here and solicit emails 'for faster replies'. My guess is you're trying to impress the kiddies. You sure don't impress the "adults" of course I use that term loosey with reference to some of the others that have responded.

  26. Hey Im a shoe salesman , and what the hell is a mainframe ?

  27. A mainframe is just a larger computer and a bunch of related hardware usually used for business, scientific and research purposes. In the context I was using the term they predated what has become known as a PC or personal computer. Computers started to invade the corporate world big time around the late 60's and into the 70's and 80's. Back then they litteraly could fill a good sized room and were sensentive to temperature changes and somewhat to things like cigarette smoke. Modern versions are still fairly large but no where need the size of the early behemoths. Back in those days people didn't have computers on the desk. If they were lucky they had a "dumb" computer terminal hooked up to the mainframe. Today probably the biggest users of mainframe computers is the government. For example NSA's ECHELON project which is supposedly capable of monitoring nearly all electronic traffic on a world wide basis. Not something you'd want to try with your desktop PC.

  28. speedy, as always you underestimate your opponent, isnt' that the biggest mistake in business ? you think you know him, but then you never really know him, only what you think you know.

    Now, lets tackle your "impression" of me, you think I use the "certified computer technician" to impress someone, well, i'll have you know I only used it in i think was the last 6 months out of my year and a half on the forum, because I was in Australia, and I was looking for a sponsor, and hopefully i'll find one some day so I can ditch Israel, as you propably know (if you see TV or read news) it's not a safe place to be in.

    So, yes, in a way, i'm trying to get noted by someone who might assist, although i'm not putting my life insurance on it, as i'm already waiting for results of my Immigration Visa now on to the real stuff shall we ?

    Now, i'm tacking your 30 years experience, just like you are tacking mine, I really couldn't care less what your profession is, what annoyed me wasn't you picking on me, cause if that is what you thought, boy are you in for a big surprise, you didn't even tickle me or annoy me one bit, I did not take a single word you say seriously, what did annoy me was you picking on everyone elses professions, thinking that yours is the best one of all, so I figured, if it's so good, why won't you say the name of it ? you ashamed of it ?

    Now, unlike your Joe, I am a friendly person, I don't tell people my profession unless they specificly ask, i've got plenty of friends, and people seem to think i'm a nice guy, and when I say the forum is a teenage forum, then basicly it is true, although there are plenty of over 20 people here, but unlike you, that you hang around insulting people, me and the rest are trying to help others, i'm not looking for credit, and i'm not looking for money, although you would be surprised how many offered me money to help them out, but as i've told you before (obviously you never read) money is NOT an objective in life for me.

    And as for faster replies, well, I try to help, some people here are stuck on a problem, and unlike you, i'm not always on the forum, so I can answer emails faster, cause I don't need to go to the forum to help, and they can also ICQ me, it is faster to communicate, welcome to the 21st century.

    And so far, if I wanted to impress anyone, maybe I did or not but it looks like nobody respects you anymore, cause you cant even communicate like a human being, although I almost got you to communicate in the other post, and then you ignored and started bashing again for no reason, oh well, like I said I can't teach an old dog new tricks, but can't blame me for trying.

    If you even began to know me, you could see I always try to stop fued fights, and bashing, ask Kdiddy if you don't believe me, you are the only person i'm in a fued fight with.

    So do you have any SMART thing to say ? or are we gonna be back to bashing ?
    Email me for faster replies!

    Best Regards,
    Sefy Levy,
    Certified Computer Technician.

    Seeing most of us are finding these threads highly amusing, does anybody here ever visit www.tomshardware.com forums? In particular, the CPU forum?
    Those guys must be the hardest assed crowd that I have ever come across. It is rife with trolls, check out the posts made by people like "Amdeltdown" and "Intel_Inside". Anybody that posts bechmarks usually ends up getting chewed up and spat out with 3 new ******** to make use of! Bitchslaps are rife and the "banter" is first rate.
    Who else knows of a "flame forum"?

  30. Is it just me or does the forum server SUCK big time?

    I answered Sefy, and goofed and posted it in that "other" thread. I just spent the last 10 minutes trying to delete it and then post it here and just timeout or get some stupid error message.
