I've yet to run across any programmer who can fix it. From my experience they just make things far more complicated than what they need to be. :D

And He's a Teacher. :0

Boxy tried to teach me his/her way of Typing for 2 seconds once and I'm still trying to recover 3 years latter. I think s/he's made me dyslexic. :(

But be warned refuse to have anything at all to do with Boxy's Math Class that will warp your mind completely and there is currently no known cure other than death. ;)

I think there are now witnesses to my femaleness. :D

by rob miners

you haven't seen a photo of Boxie have you? Or are you just being a torment? I'm too bloody old to learn how to type and I can already count to ten so I get by. ;)

translating what he says to what he means....

No thumb. ;)

Next time, blame TR. "It worked when I sent it to you!"

by boxfiddler Hot topic

I think he's being a torment...
HAL still has the upper hand. :D

by rob miners

with a grain of salt. He's a typical Aussie and you have to watch him as he will spin you a yarn without you realising it. Yep we love tormenting people and if the fruit is ripe we'll pick it. ;)
Missing my planes be back later. :D

Boxy claimed that he would be the Camera[b]Man[/b] so being Politically Correct there is only one inference to gather from that comment Boxy is [b]Male not Female.[/b] :^0

That's what you get for not showing up for The Gathering.

you "think", but no one knows..... ;\

by rob miners

subliminal message? I get a kick out of Balthor. You never know what is going to happen next. ;)

by rob miners

go over there, mainly when someone mentions that there is something to look at. I'll have to spend a bit more time over there.

The darn planes are on the other side of town so I decided to head to the shed for a coldie. Beer that is.

by rob miners

so that must mean that female fire fighters are firemen. :^0 :^0 :^0

Go to your hardware store, rent a snake, remove the toilet from the wax ring and do it yourself. Don't forget to buy a new wax ring.

Be prepared to retrofit a new flange & possibly fix the floor.

Whoever reported it as spam either:
1. is not a regular; or
2. knows tony; or
3. considers anything not directly referencing ones and zeros to be insufficiently technical.

by boxfiddler Hot topic

4. Utterly lacking a sense of humor.

by seanferd

it was Tony. :D

Otherwise, I would assume it was just some jackass.

I quite like the verbiage of #3, though. :^0

by tony hopkinson

Why pick on me, all the other f'kers who ask equally stoopid questions get away with it.

Come on 'fess up.

by rob miners

and it can happen to you without asking a question as well. I wonder if Tammy knows who hits the button. ;)

by seanferd

who had posts axed.

Or maybe it's your arch-nemesis showing his hand...

You have one right? Doesn't everyone?

by oh smeg

The Thought Police/TR Nazi's/The Spam Queen have been slightly slow this weekend and they have gone looking for problems that simply do not exist.

Most likely is that Davette AKA Boxy just clicked on the Spam Button without looking as that is what she is used to doing. Looks as if Davette need to go in for Maintains more than HAL Does and she's in denial about her mistake if it wasn't deliberate. :D :^0 :D :^0

and by headache, I mean one the size of Denmark, read the forum comments at ZDNet.

If you don't just read the articles. (You'd probably like Ed Bott, you MS shill. :^0

by rob miners

is that short for shillings. Like Ed Bott I do not own stock or have any other financial interest in Microsoft or any other software company. The closest that I have been to Microsoft is as a non paying Registerd Partner. That was only to benefit me as an OEM Builder. I was introduced to Microsoft Software long before I was made aware of Linux. I was aware of Apple MAC but there was no way that I could afford one of those. LOL if Microsoft was paying me I could afford one. ]:)

by boxfiddler Hot topic

That implication thing. I tend to miss that, unless it's masquerading as outright innuendo. :D :D :D

by seanferd

Right?

If not: Sorry, I was just joking. I was ragging on the "You are an MS supporter" guy.

But really, Ed Bott has some good articles. I actually do like a lot of the articles at ZDNet, but the forum gives me a headache quite quickly in most cases.

by oh smeg

That the Queen of the Spam Killers reported Tony as a Spammer. And I wouldn't upset this Little Birdy by saying that they are wrong so Boxy is responsible for reporting it as Spam. :^0

Col 0:-)

by boxfiddler Hot topic

Tony's cool by me. Besides, I'm waiting to find out what he said in his shoutout. :D

by oh smeg

Because I read it on the Internet before your denial. So you denying it is only more proof that you are the Guilty Party. :0

I'm sure that Tony is laughing his head off over this too. :D

by tony hopkinson

Can't be arsed.
Only kidding.
Wish I could have been there with you lucky gits.

Or sumfing like that anyway.

by rob miners

of course I knew that you were joking. I was just being a torment. :D
Yep Ed has some interesting stuff and has done well for himself. :D

by seanferd

And thanks for being such a dear torment. :^0

by nicknielsen

"Doesn't know Tony" would be implied in "is not a regular".

That's the second question about that list. Must be a slow weekend for intellect... ;)

by bizzo

You're just not doing it right.

by oh smeg

I was told today that I need to take lessons in how to use a computer and a place was suggested as a suitable place to start at.

This was from a Financial Packages Help Desk which I had rung up to find out what they had told their customer to do. Not completely sure what has happened here but after years of use the Client now wants a new Accounting Package and refuses to deal with the old supplier any more.

So Tony have you considered [b]Taking Lessons On How To Do This?[/b] :^0

Personally I'm to busy attempting to recover this clients Data File after the Help Desk told them to Cut & Paste from the Backup and then they told the customer to delete the Application and reload. Not completely sure what they are expected to recover their Data Files with after deleting all of the Backup's but as I don't know what I'm doing [i]According to their Help Desk[/i] I must be misunderstanding the situation completely. ;)

Why anyone would delete all of the Backups is way beyond my understanding but hay they have the old computer which I replaced 9 months ago so all is not lost yet. :0
