Lets Paint The Kettle Black,Do You Have A Bitch On Whats Going On Around The Site Or Any Thing Negative To Report

do you think thats why I posted?

 

No, you were asking why we were bitching in a thread and you said "why bitch? doesn't do no good. Status? who needs it." I assumed you meant status as member level, right?

Had you paid attention, you would have realized that "no count posting in Safety Valve" is something that came from complaints, including those from the Safety Valve. Now if someone wants to accuse you of something, they'd need to know you better than I do. LOL Which is nada. Point being, some things do come from bitching.

The system is a generation or so old, according to how you look at it. The Northwood P4s were replaced by the Prescotts (bad move at Intel) and now there are the duo core systems. A P4 Northwood with a mild OC can blow a 3.8GHz Prescott out of the water on bench results. The venerable X850 gpu is old tech now. Doesn't take long with PC equipment. My next build will be newer tech with a dual core and a PCIe graphics card along the lines of the X1900 ATI Radeon. This custom was just a venture into building a good low cost single core performer to tide me over while collecting parts. Part of the hardware from this system may end up in the next. One of the nice things about customs, a bunch of parts are interchangable; i.e. PSU, RAM, drives, cables, case, and cards. Just depends on what a person wants to upgrade. I could go with just a mobo, gpu, and dual core processor and make a dual core AMD out of this Intel system. If you're into hardware, you may want to check out the following link. http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_jump.cfm/235934/1901370-124751 I fear I've bored everyone too much on this thread with hardware. We're supposed to be bitching. LOL The only part of AD where you can get into trouble for playing nice too long.

 

@ actech: i think chris (oriphus ) visited about 3 to 6months ago, to my knowledge he hasnt been back since, but you could try some off the other oldies who may know where he is...........

 

My bitch is towards people who bitch about members who have been giving great advice for a long while. I rarely even post anything cause I don't have the patience to deal with the same RE2,Stealth, Spanglish, and the it must be new protection cause I got a CRC error crap. I thank all of the addicts that have taught me everything I know about DVD burning. I think the problem with most of the noobs that post drivel is they don't even know how to use a PC and they want to skip learning and researching. I mean if you don't understand DMA then maybe you should stop posting how you can't understand what's the BFD, memorex works for me. Anyway for those of you that are dedicated to making this site great, thanks for making it easy for the lurkers to find relevant information by way of the ever so simple search function. Maybe if the search box was flashing or had hair around it then there would be less repeat questions. One better would be to base the rating system on how many times you use the search bar.

 

Search box...are you kidding? They won't take the time to type a legible sentence let alone spend 10 mins. using the search box!

Hey! I'm bitching!.....and I like it!

Anyway,as long as we keep giving them the answers (over and over) they won't need to search for them. But not doing that would'nt be nice of us...would it? So we keep on doing it.

I've typed up a sweat and must go to sleep now!

 

I wish noobs would use the search box, I was so tired of all those "Chicken Little" threads. And they always begin, "I looked but could not fine any info" when there was two threads on it right below where they posted. I thought "Google" was in everyone's vocabulary these days

 

@Arniebear,

How often is the question posted about the differences between + and - R media? Maybe before posting a question it needs to go thru a screener search engine which will display a selection of possible solutions....

 

Well, my first bitch in this thread...I don't have many; like my Dad, I usually go with the flow because negativity is just a waste of energy, not to mention a contagious and destructive force.

Last night, Pepsimaxx started a thread in the safety valve to introduce his friend:

http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/326093

There were a number of hospitable responses and a couple which could serve no purpose but to drive away the person being introduced; if one couldn't bring himself/herself to say hello, it would be better to say nothing at all. Apparantly, some thought the thread was useless and decided to report it to the mods ... so be it if that is one's take on it; but was it necessary to post this hostility for the new person to read??

I first joined afterdawn in august of 2003...I'd post a question and disappear until I had another. In 2005, I posted another question which was answered by a certain addict who has since left for personal reasons. In a thread that had gone adrift, he not only posted valuable info, but joked and laughed, intoduced me to others and I've been here since and spend a good bit of time helping out in the very forum where this occured; although things have slowed down lately.

Remembering this, I too started a thread a week or two ago. A new guy in the forum was answering questions and doind so quite well. If the forum picks up again as I hope, well need all the help we can get there as there aren't many of us and the most prolific contributer to that forum has left for personal reasons. Anyway, the guy I introduces is in multiple forums contributing quite a lot ... not because of my efforts as he was already doing so, but I just wanted him to feel welcomed and appreciated; is this so wrong?

Pepsimaxx's thread was called useless dribble and reported. Amidst threads on firearms, morning coffee, favorite movies, bad movies, vomiting dolls, sexy pictures, favorite bands etc. etc. people have to target a thread to introduce a new member, make him feel unwelcomed and go on about the thread being dribble...amidst all those other thread of earthshattering importance, they have to choose to be nasty in one introducing a new member. A fine welcome indeed. If they felt like making nasty comments about "dribble" ... couldn't they have chosen the vomiting dolls or something where a new member wouldn't be offended?

Well, so much for my bitching.

 

@creaky...I felt a need to say something but tried to respond in a way that wouldn't start anything. I hate it what that stuff happens. I'm told that you mods really have a handful in the games forums...I can see it; must be all kids.

 

@creaky

LMAO, being a mod has made you old before your time.

 

my bitch,why can i not do it!!!!!!!!!!

You will not believe what this guy can do with a piece of paper...

Cassi Hunt meets the RIAA,

p2p news view / p2pnet: If you're a college student who's being sued by the RIAA, here's what you do:

Drop out of college, or go to community college, so you can afford to pay RIAA blackmail.

Who says? The RIAA (Recording Industry Association of America).

Microsoft doesn't like PCs sold without Windows

4/5/2006 2:51:19 PM, by Eric Bangeman

Is selling PCs without an OS installed a bad idea for retailers? Microsoft thinks so. In an article in Microsoft's Partner Update magazine, (link found in this ZDNet article), Microsoft's anti-piracy head Michala Alexander advises retailers to avoid selling "naked" PCs, saying that doing so puts the vendors at risk.

According to Microsoft's figures, about 5 percent of the 10 million PCs sold in the UK will go out the door without an operating system installed. There are obviously a number of reasons why customers would want a PC sans OS. Customers might be planning on running Linux or FreeBSD instead of Windows. Others may have unused Windows licenses laying about. Although Alexander doesn't come right out and say it, lurking in the background is the issue of piracy.
