But dont you just love the way they don’t admit there is a bug/problem until they actually fix it? 🙄
That’s because it’s called a “feature” until it’s fixed 😛
The bit about all tech knowledge being taught in colleges being out of date in two years is complete cock. There’s always more to learn – new knowledge seldom invalidates existing knowledge. Rather it extends and builds upon the basics.
I’ve been in IT for more years that I should admit to (pre PC days, put it that way). And, to be honest, I wish a lot more of the guys that work for me had a better grounding in the basic principles of how things work. I generally find the best engineers have this, while the weaker ones only ever know the “current fashion”, and little understanding of the context and bigger picture.
Mexico must be a lawyerless society. Can you imagine the lawsuits that would get filed in the US and possibly even here?

Oh THAT’s what Max meant!! I thought he wanted to buy two gay boys to play with 😯
I say chaps, I’ve just had a Wizard Wheeze! Is there a Forum Admin command that will delete all posts made by a particular user?
All that typing and ranting….gone !poof! as if it had never existed.
Go on….you know it makes sense.
PS: BTW, I’m talking Legit’s here, not my posts! 🙂

Well, just drive around really really slowly. By his logic you’ve got a better chance of killing him 😛

Firstly… as it was me who got you in XDC – I think you should show your appreciation by sucking my toes…
That’s a truly stomach turning thought 😯

Secondly – your starting that thread doesnt look as bad as my asking him to be let in to XDC!!
Yep, you win!

right then the hit man for LeGit comes out of your pocket money Lensman!
I think I’ll save myself a few quid and just drive round Rochdale for a bit. Bound to run into him sooner or later 😈
I agree, and I shouldn’t have posted the epilogue. But, fuck, the guy is a complete tit.
Ban him from the forums? Probably a bit petty and he would just come back as “L3git” or something.
Anyway, I humbly apologise and completely abase myself at the feet of all XDC (except Turks – wouldn’t want to get within a mile of his mangy feet) as the one who started that effin thread in the first place. I’ll take whatever punishment comes my way 🙄
Epilogue

Not really – more speed = same reaction time but by the time you react you have covered a larger distance…..
Jesus – it’s like arguing with a fucking amoeba. Car pulls out 50 yards in front of you and you have half the time time to react doing 60 not 30. Actually less, when you factor in the different stopping distances.
Oh, why bother…….
More speed = less reaction time. Both yours and theirs.
It’s not rocket science.
If you are bitching about the lack of awareness of others, then by going at stupid speeds you are giving them less time to react to you.
How did it go then, Pharts?
Hopefully it was less embarrassing than some of the interviews I’ve conducted in the past.
A couple of years ago I was trying to hire software engineers. An agency sent through a CV that looked fine, so we got the bloke in. After a few minutes of preliminary pleasantries I started drilling down into his C++ and COM knowledge.
Glazed look. Mumbled reply.
OK, I thought, maybe he’s a bit nervous. Try again. Looking down at his CV I ask “Can you tell me about how SystemX worked – what were the major components that defined the system?”
…..rabbit-in-headlights look. “Errr………”
I then ask “It says here that you worked on it for two years at XYZ company recently”.
…”Errr….no.”
I show him the CV. “This is you, Robert Jones?”
“Yes – but that’s not my CV. I’m not a programmer – I’m a systems support engineer”.
A phone call to the agency followed – the fucking idiots mixed the CV’s up wasting both his time (he travelled nearly 100 miles for the interview) and ours.
……..And then there was the guy who listed on his interests “Lucid dreaming”.
And the chap that comes into the office and the first thing he says is “Fuck me, but your secretary has got a nice arse!”. Kind of funny, but not entirely appropriate, especially as fiance of said secretary is on the the interview panel.
