what song tune is this? I will add that to the post -jard
Sorry, Jerbear. The entire thing about the star was due to EvilOtto, K1W1, and Gecko. Before I got my star and before Otto got his, Otto wanted to post a song, and K1W1 was sucha nice person that she posted it for him. Gecko made a comment about non-star people who ask others to post for them being like people who are on welfare. The end result was that Otto got pissed off, K1W1 was unapologetic and saw nothing wrong with it (neither did anyone else), and I ended up buying stars for myself and Otto so that Gecko couldn't throw tantrums. That's why all of the comments were made about you posting- no one really has problems with it, but it goes to show tyou that not even techs always get aklong with each other. Also, welcome!!! :) -taieena
About your comment about printer support people sending people to you: If the only problem customer's have is printing from the web, just like if they can't print from, say, Adobe, but can print from anything else, what we really tell the end user, is to contact the maker of the program. Printer people don't support programs, we support printers. If the printer works, and all the setting that we can check are correct (which is damned few, let me tell you) it goes beyond our support boundaries to support the program. Hence, just like if it's a problem printing from Adobe, Quark, or MS Excel, whatever it is, if everything else works, we have to tell them to go to someone else. There are, however, REALLY lazy techs who do "pass the buck", and I'm not saying they're aren't, but on printer techs behalf, if you get sent a customer who has problems printing, and they call you...Unless you're AOL, they've still got the wrong place. Send them to the maker's of their web browser, that's where we really sent them in the first place. ^_^ -Dragones
Heyy.. im to lazy to look, how do ya change your start button? :D -MrThou
The comments to do I care are hilarious. This so sounds like me. LOL -THETECHFROMHELL
"Dumb flashes" - BRILLIANT!!! -hkypipe
In reference to the posting about your dream, I give you the following. "Jerbear: Just my opinion, but I would suspect this is a tech support dream. The woman is oriental (as are many electronic devices). You have asked for permission to support this woman for the rest of her life because you are in love with her/the device. When given permission (by the "company" who made her) and she is away from "home" (e.g. in the field) everything falls apart on you and she is more work than you expected. After being given information from an older & wiser member of the "family" you are able to repair her. I would only worry if you were unable to repair her, since this would indicate that you subconciously doubt your skills. -Beeker" -Beeker
"My cable box is broken, and I've never been able to use the nifty on demand feature of digital. They said we just need to take it to their office and swap it... I should really do that. " -- Na, just do like my customers and demand a credit for time without service. If the CSR says no, just start screaming like a crazy person and demand a supervisor.... It wouldn't be nice to do, but hey, I don't service NY. LOL!!! :D -Zentar

So Knights of the Old Republic is good? Care to elaborate? I get bored with most games within a couple of days, and would love to find something cool that would keep my interest. -Hellion
thanks for the advice. Always good to get a 2nd opinion on something I don't normaly meddle in. -leonine
we (or u i'm not good at that sort of thing) should work on that bullet with butterfly wings as a parody -rhiannon
Jerbear. About the ring. You sly dog you. I accept.....I mean congratulations. Yeah. That's what I meant. -Rabbitt
i've been checking out deviantart awsome stuff on there. i dont think the rednecks on the other end of the phone would have appreciated -rhiannon
Re: Credit Card - watch for these guys to show up at your local Check Cashing store: www.netspend.com - There's no way I could get a real credit card. -satanstech
We all appreciate it. I wish I had some pictures of the all the weckage that *will* become new missles. /meh, same as last, gotta work... -objekt404
Grats on the Star dude. :) -Warrick
Lovely star! About time you had one! -Tekkie
'Bout time you bought a star instead of all that home theatre stuff! <j/k> Congrats and welcome to the celestial sphere at last. -BritishBunny
hey, Jerbear........that star...... It makes your butt look big.....welcome to the heavens. -wolfprince
At the top of the main page and it gives you an option to give the gift of a star. -Zayda
Re: Sasser: It does in fact scan for open ports and jump in when it finds one. But there are only two or three ports where it has a vulnerability that it can jump in through, so it only scans those ones: 135, 445, and the one that is opened by some other worm: 7334, I think. So if you don't have those ports forwarded to a Windows machine, Sasser et alia can't get in. So yes, a modem / router with NAT will protect you from Sasser-type viruses, unless you go and put some machine in the DMZ or expressly forward a dangerous port to an unpatched machine. -chazz
Write on my Whiteboard, it will get posted and e-mailed to me.
