Yes, that's right! Cringely is back at it! This time, he shows more arrogance and stupidity then EVER before!
What I Want for Christmas
A Supercomputer in Every Garage!
http://www.pbs.org/cringely/pulpit/pulpit20011227.html
He starts out by showing right off the back, that "There's no fooling! I really AM a dickless wonder!":
| Quote | | Reality has lately been a little too REAL for me. The economy is tanking, we're at war, the national and international situations simply cry out for escape, denial, and delusion. Why worry when you can nerd out, instead? |
That's right! Don't worry! Consume! CONSUME! That's what Americans are for right!? No need to worry about things like worry, or argue. CONSUME!!!
Then:
| Quote | | Ignoring for the moment the pressing question of why any individual would actually need a supercomputer, I prefer to revel in the fact that it is even possible to have one. |
Translation : "I know, I know, there's no reason at ALL that I should have a cluster. I mean, really, I don't have HALF a brain and couldn't figure out how to install a UNIX on ANYTHING, let alone, operate it. This is just going to sit in my garage and be used to cover up my exceedingly useless genitalia and look good to all my readers."
Then, he shows arrogance in the face off all the odds! Why be subtle about it? He almost proclaims, "I'm a DOUSCHE!!"
| Quote | The minute I realized that I could have a supercomputer, I had to have one. But would Santa come through? Given all the poor children in the world far more deserving of gifts, I decided to take the obligation from Santa's shoulders and build the supercomputer myself.
|
"I cringley, will build a HUUUUGE Supercomputer!! Oh, and one last note: Fuck the homeless."
He goes on throughout the entire rest of the article trying to brag, and educate at the SAME TIME!! Wowo!
You'll see such racist comments as THIS!:
| Quote | | I love the idea of a supercomputer from Kentucky... |
And such annoying comments as THIS!:
| Quote | | The process is moving forward only as I can afford it, but so far I have six new dual Athlon XP motherboards, each with a pair of 1.4-GHz processors, a gigabyte of DDR RAM for each machine, and a total of 24 network adapter cards. These will all plug into a 24-port 10/100 network switch to create a flat network neighborhood. |
He goes on to copy a pamphlet he read about something somewhere and then makes this stunning statement to end his heap of shit:
| Quote | | I've decided to call her Wendy. |
And I've decided to name my phrenia Robert X. Cringely!
...
Ok... I'm done.

I'm building a superspeller in my garage out of 6 old Ti Speak&Spells. If my theory is correct, I will actually be able to spell a words faster then people can speak them.
"That is Correct! ...Now try Fucknugget"
Seriously, I wonder what kinda of "video rendering" is going on in that garage. I think the supercomputer is going to be used to rip gay pr0n into DivX.

What I fail to understand is, WHY HASN'T THIS RETARD BEEN FIRED? I mean look at how many companies are in dire economic straits and are having mass layoffs, now ponder that PBS needs YOUR money to operate (Well not YOUR money in specific, but they need money from people like you) and yet they have this fucktard working for them sucking up at least some of their money. Personally, I'd be willing to make a donation to the "Fire that dumb fuck Cringley" fund for PBS.

Posting at DetNet Paul is like making love to a beautiful woman.. you start off slow getting more frequent then you work your fingers hit the magic button and watch as your opinion explodes for all to see. and you can always watch pr0n if you get a bit restless.

I thought cringley was satire and not supposed to be serious. like that guide on how to know if your child is a hacker...
| Quote | | You'll see such racist comments as THIS!: |
the computer was desined by some company in kentucky. how is that racist? that's not even racist, it's not as if "kentuckians" are a unique race...

Wow, it's tempting to steal the work fax machine and send him 100 copies of a piece of paper that says:
"I'm not very fond of your work. I wish you'd stop writing because you make baby Jesus cry."

Well, I took his comment as sarcasim, perhaps I read too far into the statement though.
