I love people that post about the idiocy of others, when in fact they need to tape a mirror to their monitor...

Me : Me
EU: Customer

ME:Thanks for calling bla bla part of two letters , my name is brian etc

EU : Rallies off info 200 words per minute..

ME: Can you repeat that ?

EU: Repeats

ME : Ok how can I help you

EU : Um yah I just have a quick question, how many bytes are in a kilobyte ?

ME : Um , a thousand ? (DUH)

EU : Oh really are you sure ?

ME : Yes

EU : Oh well im a math teacher but i wasnt sure

ME : Yes kilo meaning a thousand

EU : Oh I thought computers were diffrent

ME : No computers use the metric system just like the rest of us

Contention meaning sarcasm?

If you're fucking with him, I'm laughing, if you're serious, I'm a bit confused.

ME above isn't me.

And no, the original guy that posted that was deadly serious AFAIK.

It's all clear now! Thanks!

I don't know how you got a transcript from everyone's favorite Linux advocate, but it's stellar.

Does the US use the metric system yet?

I don't know if I can stand all this attention in such a short period of time, you better take it down a notch just to be safe !

I've been disappointed with the fact that you've turned your love for Linux 'down a notch'. Perhaps it was difficult to participate when the grownups started talking about it?

Well like I stated in a previous post, I owe all of my technical knowledge (and my job) to VV and it's all knowing members - so I decided to observe for a while.

yeah, but does he understand where 1024 comes from instead of a straight up 1k?

42 is the answer, but it is not the correct one for this question! I believe the number 8 plays a major role.

i'm gonna get me some kilos and bits

note: i have GOT to put down the bong....

There are 10 types of people in this world.
Those who understand binary and those who dont.

I disagree, there are 11 types of people in this world.

You forgot Funkmasterr, who is neither of the first 10.
