Why bother trying to be helpful?

[jimmalenko]

Personally I have used Nero for about 4 years plus without issues...

...Now if you want to talk ROXIO products....MY GOD, they should come with kneepads because THEY SUCK NO MATTER WHO USES THEM...

I cannot agree more. Although I might add I have only ever had 1 problem with Nero 6.0.0.15 not recognising my DVD burner. An upgrade to 6.0.0.23 fixed that though.

[indolikaa]

But nero does suck.


No, comments like that aren't useful at all. But you could also ignore such comments cause they are not worth replying to.

And remember not to take stuff so personal...it isn't your fault that nero sucks...

Well of course they're not useful!

They're supposed to be funny. The problem is some people are too uptight to see that.

Damn, I've been using Nero since I invented oxygen. And that's been awhile.

[BJ_M]

That is much better !!! NERO SUCKED FOR YO U

Personally I have used Nero for about 4 years plus without issues...

So perhaps it should read "people who cant use NERO have computers that suck" or better

It SUCKS not to be able to use NERO as other do....

Or , my personal favorite

You cant use NERO because you SUCK !!!

All said as a joke so nobody get bent....

Now if you want to talk ROXIO products....MY GOD, they should come with kneepads because THEY SUCK NO MATTER WHO USES THEM...

thats true -- but i guess now a debate on what programs sucks worse ..

Don't forget you created nuclear fusion, and globalthermalnuclear war as well. What a busy beaver.

And lint. Don't forget lint!

4 - When the non North Americans doubt or try to show to the North Americans their differend non american side of things.
5 - When the non native english speaking users get attacked from ass kicking english speaking users.

:P

4) Has Canada managed to piss you off now too?
5) The "english " of many of the "natives" ain't so good, judging from their posts. Yours is better.

If your grudges are anything to go by, you're a really ambitious guy. :P You know, if you narrowed it down a little, it might be better for your health.

Just trying to help.

[reboot]

Canada pisses everyone off. We're naturally good at it
We're all (mostly) not afraid to call a spade a spade, which adds to our pissing off of others quite nicely thankyou
I give back, because others gave to me. Maybe not specifically on this forum, but the help I recieved in a multitude of areas still outweighs the amount of help I may be able to provide to others.
What goes around, comes around.

Only once, 2 years ago, a Canadian send me one of my guides corrected "Political Correct" way.

I don't really give so much anntenion to this issue (bashing, hijacking, how you call it anyway...), but if you remember only recently someone ask me about my level of education... (based on the fact that I was drank and spelled "important" as "importand"). Yeah, that one locked before I weak up and reply...

[indolikaa]

You're ******* kidding?!



I hope you didn't edit it.

[SatStorm]

No, I'm not kidding and yes I edit it a bit! I had to, there was so much negative feed back about my use of english!

That's why I start my latest guide (what to buy, etc) by saying "I don't wish to be PC"!

Don't count the times the phrase "ain't" I used to use so much until last year, was the reason of accusations like "you are butchering the English language"

[reboot]

HAHAHA. I would have posted two guides, with one titled, "The guide to whatever for CANADIANS!", with a HUGE bold credit to the person that edited it, and another with the title, "The guide to whatever for the rest of the world".

4 - When the non North Americans doubt or try to show to the North Americans their differend non american side of things.
5 - When the non native english speaking users get attacked from ass kicking english speaking users. The stupiest flame wars of all. To all them I suggest to learn a couple of languages before attacking us

Seriously man, you need to get some new material. Seems like you bring up these points every time you post. For the life of me, I can't find any of the types of posts to which you refer. Looks like someone said something once, then it stuck in your gut. Just let it go man. You'll give yourself an ulcer.

Being from England the only thing that sucks in my house is my Vacuum cleaner!

Seriously though, I am with the want to give back frame of mind. I have not yet been flamed thankfully, but then with my level of knowledge I don't get to help many people. However, I have guided others to this site on other PC forums.

I do post on several forums (mostly in the UK) and no matter what the subject, punch-ups break out here and there. Some of the worst I have seen have been on Sci-Fi sites where the Star Trek fans want to kill Dr Who fans and vice versa! But there is a case in point that people have taken sides, but getting agressive over a Telly programme; good grief!

Now the most polite forum that I have been involved with is the one for a British PC magazine where the community bend over backwards to help out other posters. The Mods for this site are pretty speedy to stamp out any problems. However, they did suffer from a server attack recently - there will always be someone p*ssing about!

Thankfully, the experience that I have on VCDHelp (sorry but that is how I found it and how I will go on calling it - it is still a Marathon Bar too!) has been much the same.

[SatStorm]

Supreme2K, it seems that you pop up each time I posting something.
Please, stop doing this. You became a problem you know...

[indolikaa]

I have not yet been flamed thankfully, but then with my level of knowledge I don't get to help many people.

1) If you haven't been flamed, you can't say you've truly enjoyed what vcdhelp.com has to offer.

2) My level of knowledge is limited to specific products and situations, so I don't get to help all that much either. I am, therefore, forced to focus on my post-whoring skills.

[SatStorm]

Years ago, I was present in a Sci Fi forum between a fight between Babylon 5 fans (JMS fans) and Star Trek fans (Treckers).

Amazing... Vorlons against Vulcans!

(I was on the B5 side, still am....)

I understand this, JohnnyC. I capture video using an ATI AIW 9000 card on a WindowsME partition with an Athlon 1200. There are people out there would would never even try to do such a thing because they're convinced any one of the three elements can't work correctly.!

Don't forget: you also grab PCM audio in your MPEG captures. I'm not ever brave enough for that (sync errors that I can get but you don't!). So you've got a four-way going on, not menage a trois.

I have free time between other stuff, and I have to sit in front of this stupid box (read: computer), so I may as well do something besides read (write back) and on something I like (video).

I think Indy and me would get along quite well if we lived closer. Like him, I'm the same on a screen or with words from my mouth. Makes no difference.

[housepig]

I bother for two reasons:

1) generally, if I come into this forum with a problem, I can get at least a point in the right direction or a fresh & helpful perspective on the problem within a matter of hours.

2) amidst the flaming, hostility, non-responsiveness and attitude that can float around this board, many times I'll see a question, I'll have an answer, and it turns out to be the right one. and the person is so stoked about it, that I can't help but feel glad I posted the reply.

[State Of Mind]

I personally don't think a person can be complete without a sense of humor. Humor results in positive emotions making the person feel better. Some people take humor too far and get their kicks by subjecting others to harmful scenarious or whatever. Basically, what I am trying to say is that, I appreciate humor on forums. If someone says, "Nero Sucks Ass, All Should Abandon It!" I will post a reply and correct them saying, "Nero didn't work good for you for whatever reason, worked fine for me so why should I get rid of it just because you're angry? If it worked for you, you wouldn't be telling someone else to get rid of it, now would you?" And I hope this broadens their horizons a bit more so they don't say things like that anymore. If someone mentions something completely off topic, moderators will close and lock the forum and tell them to take it to private messages. It's information, not bickering...even though it is fun sometimes.

I'm also getting sick of people post stupit stuff any say some thing about another person. Also getting sick of bad word's like F word and other word's.

You know what that means: I have to cool down my temper from now on...

That means less drinks for me from now own when I'm online....

Hi all, and TGIF :P

I liked B5, but it confused me some. I started seeing it inthe beginning, and
then left it, and a couple of years later, came back to check it out, and boy,
was I really confused.
.
As for Star Trek. I'm an original fan :P but at least it didn't confuse me :P

I like both (don't get me wrong) but from last I remembered, neither one are
on any more. I don't have Satellite (I got rid ot it, due to the too many
jimmied source quality)
.
I'm now thinking about going back to Cable (or ditital cable) - - At least it will
be analog and not full of DTC or Macro blocks. Antenna signals are block-free
(much like as if VHS/LD sources) so I'm really thinking about cable again haha..

..sorry for OT

have a great weekend all,
-vhelp

So, does that mean that the America-bashing will stop, or that it is now fully supported by this site?

I have no problem with SatStorm, other than his constant N.A. bitching. At least he could recognze that this board is full of individuals who do not represent their entire country (especially since everyone who speaks English sn't in the U.S.) I find his total disrespect for my country just as bad as if someone came in here posting about niggers or kikes. I think that people should leave their political agendas at the door and deal with people here on an *******-to-******* basis

[SatStorm]

Supreme2K, do you know about Don Kihote?
Cool down my friend...
