you just want to argue, but you'll never see it

by nstaff - 2/8/06 1:40 AM In reply to: Not trying to be right Nick ... just suggesting an option by sidey

I'm going to say this as simply as I possibly can so at least this way if anyone disagrees I'll know they just want to fight and don't have any intrest in understanding each other.

You say Mark makes a valid point. What was Marks point? It was that to just say something is bad without giving any reasons is worthless and empty. Mark then goes on to say he thought the post was good and then he gave no reasons. Mark did the very same thing he was critisizing someone else for. Whats worse is that mark, out of anger, ego, or whatever, derails the right answer and puts his wrong answer back on top. There is no getting around this.

Now in regards to your reference to my other post. See you are getting confused here what the issue is - I never defended netsys because I'm am advocate of not supporting your opinions, I defended him BECAUSE HE WAS RIGHT. See and contrary to what anyone here wants to pretend, not supporting your right answer doesn't make you wrong (this isnt 7th grade math and you dont lose points for not showing your work). Likewise, you can deliver your wrong answer like a shakespeare sonet and it'll be no less wrong and no more useful. The thread where I asked for statistics was one where someone was making ludicrous claims and it's obvious they're wrong and my asking for statistics was because I know he can't produce any (oh yeah and also because he talked about them).

Anyway dont bother responding because I wont be back

respond or not .. thats your choice ...

by sidey - 2/10/06 8:27 AM In reply to: you just want to argue, but you'll never see it by nstaff

Coz I could care less what you think.

But now your argument is entering the realm of nonsense. Nick no matter how much you try to manipulate the context of my points the fact remains they are valid. You contradict yourself and that smacks of hypocrisy. Like it or not you don't have all the answers and like the rest of us you're not perfect.

However it speaks volumes that you choose to run when you're challenged to make sense of the BS screen you like to put up to fool everyone into thinking you're some crusading all knowing never get it wrong guru.

You have no interest in mutual understanding, you have no interest in anything unless it supports your opinions and that's why you can't play well with others. Get over yourself and grow up.

by the way

You will be back and you will read this because your ego demands it. So I'll see you around.

Stupid post

by gsaracen - 2/3/06 9:25 AM In reply to: Wrong answer by NetSysILM

The content of your post leaves one to wonder whether you have any clue about the subject (i.e. no specifics about why wrong answer).
Do you run a forklift in a warehouse?

I agree that NetSysILM's post was worthless but you may want to think about yours too.
Why would you assume that just because someone drives a forklift in a warehouse they would have no clue as to technical aspects of computer hardware or software? Do you also think that all tradespeople are ignorant, beer swilling, pot smoking dummies too? I know many people with degrees that work in the trades and in apparent menial jobs that do so because they are either unable to find work in their field or because they choose too. Never judge a book by its cover!

Forklift

by gsaracen - 2/3/06 11:46 AM In reply to: Re Stupid Post by Voltsmith

The forklift line was a response to his line about selling toasters and meant as a joke.
But then everything is getting so politically correct nowadays that no matter what someone will find offense.
I intentended no disrespect to forklift operators. I was one myself once.

A cave man could do it thinking...

Are we going to be the "caveman" here so we can get all offended and continue the worthlessness of these posts? Perhaps we can step lower?! :(

Your post took it a step lower.

My guess...

by Zeppo - 2/3/06 12:26 PM In reply to: Stupid post by gsaracen

is that this person is passive/aggressive. He thinks he knows something but is too lazy and too important in his own mind to take the time to offer substance.

I've seen people like this (many more these days than I like). Generally, the BEST they can do is the LEAST they can do. This makes them helpful to no one but themselves.

But it takes all kinds of humans to make this world, I guess... :)

It must be an awesome talent you have to be able to deduce someone's personality from one post.

It's a good guess...

by b8375629 - 2/7/06 7:02 PM In reply to: Re: My guess by gsaracen

No, it might be based on the fact that NetSysILM’s real name is Andrew and that he’s also a MCSE, CCNP, EE.

Or so he claims...

Check his profile, or are you too lazy to do that?

If it's true, then Zeppo’s post about NetSysILM is spot on.

Lonely Hearts Club

by LsuEduMsn - 2/4/06 1:07 AM In reply to: Wrong answer by NetSysILM

You, zeppo and nstaff would be better off in a lonely hearts club instead of spending hours typing in here about everything you do not agree with, unless you have no life beyond your keyboard?

Can't you 3 boys get a life?

Just Do It!

by marquesalan - 2/3/06 4:34 AM In reply to: 2/3/06 Are you ready for Windows Vista? by Lee Koo (ADMIN) Moderator

I think you should just buy a good system for right now and by the time Vista is actually stable, you will be ready for another machine. All of my PC user friends replace their sytems quicker than their cars so does it really matter? Plus PC systems are so cheap, it's not like this is a major investement. I would take more time picking out a CD player than a Windows machine.

Overall good recommendations but

I only disagree with the comments about LCD vs. CRT. LCT technology has vastly improved in the past few years, driven both my the needs of PC users and the HDTV market, and I no longer consider CRTs to offer better pictures. Dell and Apple have both done a lot to change my opinion of LCDs. With today's video cards optimized for digital output and using DVI connectors, and monitors of the quality, resolution and refresh rates of Apple's cinema displays and the newer units from Dell (like their spectacular 24 inch wide screen high res display), the LCD has come of age. I use a Dell 24 inch LCD now for my advanced flight simulator setup and it is wonderful -- refresh times are now fast enough that there is no ghosting, the detail is spectacular, and the unit weighs a fraction of what my former 21 inch CRT weighed (definitely was hernia threatening). I use another one on my photo and video editing machine and am equally happy with it there. Both set ups actually have multiple LCD monitors, another great feature of todays video cards and WinXP and something much more practical with LCDs.

I am so pleased with my computer LCDs that I moved on to a 60 inch Sony LCD HDTV for my home entertainment center. No regrets about that either.
