show up here a lot sometimes and I kind of wonder if there are special exams somewhere that not only do you not need to understand the question, but it may be preferable to not understand the syntax or even language that it is in.

Anybody here with insight into this process? I'm at a loss......

I ahve been asking for a little clarification here lately and I never get it. I was beginning to wonder if maybe I was just stupid or something had changed in the IT world. A prime example would be something like:
I have a win9x machine it will not interface with my win2k machine why?

So I think okay maybe they just hit enter early or something so I ask:
COuld you be more specific?
I never seem to get a response. I have largely given up on answering anything lately because of this. That and here lately it seems if you give an answer that is not what the perosn wanted to hear you are instantly an ignorant American. sheesh

Yes, a different topic perhaps, but this does run amuck from the Q&A to, of course the politicsrepublic.com essays. Why does anyone ever ask a question when they already know the one true answer?

Sheesh. :)

Anyhoo, thanks for the reply. I wasreally wondering if I am losing my grasp on what little tech language I had to begin with!

Win2 and the XP don't understand it precise?, please interrogate?

>>accepted answer<< Because the tcpip.

Am I going stupid? (er)?

I get what you are saying too. Alot of times I get frustrated with all the acronyms that it takes me a few minutes to determine what the heck is being said! I dont think corporal tunnel syndrome will hit that much sooner by removing a few letters. Is it lazy or a need to sound more "hip"? It's bad enough that conversing with people on a daily basis do this as my eyes glaze over wanting to throttle the idiot....sigh...ok I calm now I'm off my soapbox, as you were.

I know what you guys are saying.

The way people try and say everything with so little thought or explaination is enough to make my brain explode.

Its bad enough I notice my own grammar and typing skills going down down down as time moves on because of my work with computers all the time (and people who type in shortcuts all the time).

I was really feeling mighty stupid when I was asked to check out a co-worker's web forum he made for his personal website. Its all themed about hip hop and "thugs", I dare you to make sense out of half of what they type in those forums. "Yo yawz wat up tru dat hanging with my jaun. Yo ray ray did sum mad azz free stylin' homes" (that's actually from one of their posts). lol

Ugh...oh good its lunch time -- what a slow day....

Happy easter all.

laterz. ;)
