Once again, I've been in that exact situation before, and I know exactly how you feel. I hope things work out for you.

my room mate is hitting on this hot girl friend of mine. she and i are good friends, we have a class together, she is my type (i.e. very mature for her age and cynical). although i would like to go out with her, i never really tried (i thought i had no chance). now my room mate is hitting on her like crazy, and i feel like shit. it's sorta jealousy/envy, but also like he's taking her away from me. fuck i hate people. i hope she isn't interested in him at all (i won't find out till i ask her tomorrow)

Good luck, sounds like you are going to end up being the cry shoulder for the chic everytime they get into a fight. BTW with over 700 registered posters you and 2 others always seem to be at the top with highly intellectual and mind boggling posts. Eh...keep up the good work.

tell her that your roommate pees himself when drunk. that will foil his evil plot.

Oh yeah!!! Good memory, Kuru. But, that brings up a good point. Slip in the occasional embarrassing moment of your roommate. Put it in rant format, if you must. As long as you don't put it as a 'warning' or as a friend. Just start ranting about him sometime like you just need somebody to yell to. She'll love it and then, she will be all yours!!!

Or, you could use the Butthead approach:
"You are a beautiful woman. You will be mine this evening."

BTW, how did it go today? Any luck?


Posted by CatKnight on Mar. 24 2001,23:35
um im not going to tell her anything about that inicident that would be bad. it would make me look worse for brining it up just to make him look bad.

and i wont find out about whats goin on till tomorrow probably.

This fits under the title but kinda strays from the topic.

This fucking user calls the helpdesk and says her pc is going into safe mode. So I go up to the 12th floor to see what crack shes smoking.

Her: My machine reboots real fast into safe mode.

Me: Thats not safe mode, your monitor has resized the screen to a smaller visable area. All we have to do is resize it.

Her: I did that already.

/*ok at this point, where shes confusing her monitor screen streach with her machine rebooting in safe mode "real fast" I know full on that she is a complete idiot.(there were other signs too, for example she does work at WorldCom)*/

Me: Well lets give it another try.

/* It works for a second then flashes to black and comes back up with a smaller screen size. Its not changing resolution its just not taking the whole screen up.*/

Me: Ok theres something wrong with your monitor.

Her: Whats wrong with it?

Me: Its broken, it shouldnt be doing this.

Her: Whats broken?

Me: Your monitor.

Her: Whats wrong with it?

Me: Its...broken.

Her: Whats broken?

Me: Your monitor is broken. It should hold the settings for the visiable area longer than 3 seconds.

Her: So whats the problem.

Me: You need a new monitor.

Her: Will I lose my data?

Me:Yes...All of it, as a matter of fact your fired.

/* she looked at me real funny for a second and I walked away. I think there should be a training class that these people take before they become completely fucking stupid.*/

WorldCom has 1000 employees in our building with 2 pc build outs. A compaq m700 500mhz laptop and dock(which she had), and a dell gx110 700mhz desktop. We have an image we put on the machines so everyone has the exact same setup...supposedly making troubleshooting easier. So there are probably 350 other people in our building with the exact same laptop, driver versions, dock, and monitor. And the fact that it worked for 6 months befor hand. I poped a new monitor on(the exact same model) it worked fine. Later that day when we were testing the broke stuff in our storage room and it stopped displaying blue so everything had a pink hue to it. So then it got the average asset disposal treatment.... kicked down the stairs from the 1st floor to the basement. It usually makes a big mess because the stairs are cement. And the 2 hispanic janitors make us come get them so they can partake in the activities.

That's a lot of repetitions. Just thought I'd emphasize that.

I had this guy that thought MS produced computer hardware once.. he was pretty friggin stupid, and he did some more stupid shit but I can't remember, it was about a year ago.


Posted by askheaves on Mar. 27 2001,06:12
Just so you know (besides being horribly off-topic), most monitors nowadays hold different geometry settings for every mode that they are capable of. Since, certain settings are right for 1024x768@75Hz, they don't necessarily work for 800x600@7@Hz. So, when you switch modes, the settings for that mode come into play... and if it's never been in that mode, then it's probably gonna look funny or be a default.

Good luck with that help desk thing

Edit: OK, it's not THAT far off topic, but I originally thought it was a different topic, which would make this much more off topic... topic topic topic

uhhh...they do produce hardware...unless you dont consider interface hardware (keyboards, mice, gamepads, joysticks) any sort of hardware...
Posted by askheaves on Mar. 27 2001,14:46
For clarification, Sithee, they license hardware. They have very little involvement in the development of it, and pretty much most of their work goes into how to stamp their logo on it. Except for XBox. Their normal manufacturers weren't capable of it, so Microsoft set up their own production. Thus, we'll get no shortage of XBoxs this fall, because they could buy into a timeshare in heaven, if they wanted.

Other than that, they really don't do much other than software and building an army of super cloned zombie creatures.


Posted by solid on Mar. 27 2001,16:47
Yea, I know they do make some hardware but the guy thought it was strictly hardware only. I realized that after I took a good long look at the microsoft logo on my keyboard last night, and realized what happened. So I didn't bother fixing that.
Posted by solid on Mar. 28 2001,02:00
Gee, thanks.

It was more like
<writing> Stupid idiot actually didn't know what MS really produced with all that talk, and guessed they made hardware only.

<post><thinking> Oh wait.. haha.. an MS logo on my keyboard.. ah screw it I'll just leave it and see who gives a go at pinning me down for my mistake.. I'm too tired anyways.


Posted by Sithiee on Mar. 28 2001,06:36
heh...was this your train of thought?

<writing>yeah....microsoft doesnt make hardware...this guy is a dumbass!<post><thinking>...holy shit, that guy was me!

?


Posted by CatKnight on Mar. 28 2001,06:52
rofl! that's what i was thinking too.
Posted by DuSTman on Mar. 28 2001,18:39
Didn't Microsoft at one time have a stab at assembling and selling PCs? If memory serves me correctly that enterprise didn't last very long, as they didn't sell very many of 'em, but I seem to remember they gave it a shot.
