Guest Patrokles Posted March 21, 2007 Share Posted March 21, 2007 To be fair, maybe some of us find politics, or girls with their snatches visible, or tips on where the bangin'-est club is boring. Yet those threads aren't derided, simply because this is 'nerdy boring' as opposed to 'dull boring.' If people want to debate this, then fair enough. if you don't understand it, there's no real need to contribute. Fop makes some decent points, by the by. I picked up enough just from using a computer over years to understand this. having said that, Linux still isn't entirely compatible enough for my liking. I've tried several different builds. Oooh yay, here comes Patrokles to take the moral high ground over the smallest argument that has fuck all to do with him. For a change. You're so stupid.

Guest alex Posted March 21, 2007 Share Posted March 21, 2007 I took my computer to a professional repair shop somewhere in Forest Hall and they made a complete balls up of what was a trivial problem. And I was daft enough to give them £50 for the trouble. (directed to Ally - http://www.toontastic.net/forum/index.php?...t&p=299656) Is it the shop run by Dennis? I know him. I wouldn't trust him to fix me a cheese sandwich tbh. Blatant sour grapes by fop in this thread btw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fop 1 Posted March 21, 2007 Share Posted March 21, 2007 Isn't Linux just a sparse variation of unix? Hehe, and Unix too needs Windows to run, of course. I believe ZX81's and C64's also secretly ran on windows. I have to admit this thread is an amazing example of never assuming people know shit, no matter how basic.

That's all. I'm with Gemmill on this one, it's not basic to people who don't work in IT. If you have a low level of IT knowledge, you should be able to understand the concept of what it's about (and I suspect some of you posting comments that you haven't got a clue what it's about are doing so to strengthen the argument against Fop). The reason for posting it wasn't necessarily the content it was the way his attitude to everyone else when he was quite clearly wrong. Fop man, we know you understand what it's about but seriously, let this one go.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know that, FOR GREAT JUSTICE!!!! So do you know how to adjust the tappets on an engine? In theory I guess so, although in practice I wouldn't. But knowing a bit about your OS isn't at the same level as say solder moding your CPU (which is about the same level as you're talking about in car ownership), more like checking your oil and at least having a vague idea what oil does for it.

Nah, the equivalent in computer ownership to checking your oil would be running a spyware checker or defragmenting the hard drive. Not knowing the ins and outs of the operating system.
