Stupid Newbie Trick

[indolikaa]

Look what I found sitting in my PM box this morning...




gitreel,

Until I read this stupid PM, I didn't have a problem. Now I do.

I have taken the time to read every single post you've made. You've done nothing but quote incorrect information and then attack people whose views don't agree with yours. You're little discourse about Nero and your ensuing attitude were amusing, to say the least. It proved what I suspected from post number three, you don't have a ******* clue what you're talking about.

So let me tell you 'What The ****' so we can have a good understanding about each other.

You started off on the wrong foot around here. You're copping a superiority complex and falling back on 5 years of experience to backup that complex. Guess what? I don't give a shit. I was writing assembler code for Apple computers way back in 1984. By the time I had 'completed' five years in the IT business I was still in high school. And I've done a lot of other things in my IT career that have absolutely no meaning on this forum. So I choose not to talk about them.

My problem with you is you came barreling into a thread, said something ******* stupid, and then instead of copping to your mistake like a gentleman, you started flaming people. I tried to be polite and leave a little light-hearted humor on the table. Everybody makes mistakes, and most people can take their medicine with a grain of salt. You obviously can't.

You think you were getting flamed before? I haven't even scratched the surface yet.

Don't send me any more Private Messages. Anything you need to say to me can be done right here in public. In this thread. For all to see.

[housepig]

when will people learn that "Private Messages" are only private if both parties want them to be?

at least he didn't ask you for warex...

[Capmaster]

He had a bad attitude right from the start. Some of Gitreel's very first posts:

Yes you do for believing in dvd x copy. You should be certified. X copy is not better than shrink.

I repeat you are a moron.

I am not responding to you anymore because you are what we refer to in the it industry as an ID10T.

I think you have made fun of me too much already. I am bowing out of this discussion.

I am real you mofo

Can I sign up for the Indolikaa fan club too?

Posting the private message....that's great.

That is such an ******* thing to do....the pride brings tears to my eyes. Looks like someone is about to be Knighted.....

I learned that devious trick from housepig.

Not all that devious since he had put up the same stuff and spread it across 3 uninterrupted posts at 22:57, 23:00 and 23:04. His PM to Indy wasn't until 00:17 today, so it was already public:

I'm still trying to figure out what I said that constitutes a flame...

Lightweight!

Has anyone else ever bootstraped a computer from the front panel?

[Capmaster]

Yep. On a Computer Automation "mini" and a Lockheed open-frame. Both ca. 1977 We used to load the software via cassette player and the minis had 4, 8 or 16 Kilobytes of core memory

We had to load the bootstrap in hex via the front panel toggle switches.

Damn. You are old. :P

I've put my boot in the front panel of a couple of machines, will that count?

I'm 39. I was bootstrapping CAI machines when I was 2. Wasn't everybody?

THAT'S NOT WHAT PRINCO THE MIDGET TOLD ME!!!

[Capmaster]

Princo .....grrrrrrrr. That sawed off crack-swab wasn't supposed to mention it. I'll have to punish him by editing out the little people from his Wizard Of Oz copy

[RabidDog]

Bootstrapping a Burroughs Mainframe from the key panel so it could read the punch cards in... the good old days

WHo s Burroughs they ask??

It's really sad that someone actualy made these crappy graphics. It's even more sad that I found them and grabbed them to make fun of people

[The village idiot]

I'll prolly get a yellow for that last one.

[indolikaa]

Genius. True genius.

[Craig Tucker]

I'll prolly get a yellow for that last one.

If anything you would get a yellow for the third one, not the last one. Nothing wrong with the word up

Digital PDP series by key. This is the 1st time I've seen the BS word
in like years and years. Remember Turnkey? Anyone recall their
computer terms from the days of yore (= old days) ?
