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.

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.

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.

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

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.
