Bio: I'm working at Compaq/HP until I've been here a while, then off to Web Design! And eventually freelancer. Currently I'm bored out of my skull waiting for a scandisk to complete, that's why I'm updating my profile. Despite what you might think, it's actually fun working here. I mean, the processes always change, which means everything never irons out, so there are always loopholes. The fun lies in exploiting them. In any case, tech support as a whole never changes, I mean, customers who call in think they are something different from the rest, but in reality, they all think the same, me first and screw the rest. Over 50 callers sitting in my cue with something wrong with an HP/Compaq computer. Damn. They were doomed from the start...

Greets from London :P -MrThou
ShiftedBeef: What do you mean "can it (Sasser) jump partitions?" Even if it does jump disk to disk, I don't believe it has enough brainpower to copy itself to a partition type unsupported by the OS. Even if it did, the APIs that it uses to infect in Windows don't exist in Linux / BSD, so it can't run there -- not even in WINE. LSASS is not necessary for reasonable programs, so I expect it is nonexistent in WINE. -chazz
do you happen to live on the west coast? just north of the 49th, by any chance? -Bynar
Eggshen NEVER did apologise to anyone. I publicly forgave him/her anyway. Riff posted about that on my whiteboard. -srteach
hey Im in the "service" aspect in London also:) -saneagain
50 callers waiting in your queue, you must be on the Consumer side are you? I've forgotten what its like to see 50 in the queue, or worse ** in the queue for ****. -compaq42
I am on the service side so I dont know...have to admit I am curious though -saneagain
In response to "you must be in London", nope. I'm In the hub of the Great Lakes up north. IN job #2, we had our official openning today. -Chipsterian
Just out of curiosity did you get your review yet? where you happy with it? -saneagain
Well we would love to have you. What area are you in? Oh, and try to get Monday off so you don't have to leave early. -JustAGirl
Check your email... -Ulfgaard
Yep, I'm in the PavDT contract... I'm a part-timer. If your shifts are anywhere around 3:30pm-7:30pm, maybe we can run into each other some time... -renaultguy
My reason for using a PO box is so that I didn't have to notify everybody of a new address the last 11 times that I moved. Think of it like keeping the same Gmail address when you switch ISPs. -concept14
No, not stupid. My point was that nothing should surprise you. What's left in N.O. is a few people who are trying to protect their houses that weren't destroyed and hundreds of people too stupid to leave or who want to profit by it somehow. Shooting at rescue copters shound't surprise anyone. -scooby111
Hey, according to SwedishChef, you forfeited your game against him. (The SoundKeeper's site allows a maximum of 10 days per move.) Which means that you're playing me next. Do you still want to play? Or are you going to give me a bye? -ThirdOfFive
I'm assuming you didn't get my e-mail, since I haven't heard from you. So, I'll repeat it here: You did remember to click the "confirm" button, didn't you? Seriously, we can play it however you want. Leonine recomended www.slowchess.com, or we could just use physical boards and e-mail each other our moves. I'm going to win anyway, so whatever's good for you. :-D -ThirdOfFive
I'm ChristopherLeeUS2000 on Yahoo!. I get off of work at 5:00pm CDT (2200 Z). -ThirdOfFive
The manufacturer in question was Soltek. Never had a problem with the products, but their documentation leaves a bit to be desired. This is the same manufacturer that wrote "A CPU's job is to enhance your system's performance." -Mango
Just grabbing your e-mail for the chess tourney -Shaede
does P3bc4ks' "most field techs are tards anyway" not strike you as a sweeping statement? All I meant was that onsite support cannot be done from thousands of miles away, not that Indian tech were useless. N.B. I'm currently working an internal service desk job, so I do know both sides of the coin. -lineswine
Hey are you on DP now? -saneagain
Apparently you are 'White' for our game. Usually that means you set up the game and tell me where to play. -TieDyedDinosaur
Have you decided how/where we are going to play our chess game? -TieDyedDinosaur
Bummer. Well, we could always play later just for fun when you have gradiated! Please update the message board so the 'lists' get updated. -TieDyedDinosaur
Hey, just making sure you are not wanting to play your game in the Chess Tourny against TDD. We're resuming the tourny after a couple of months off. We didn't want to skip you if you could now play. Let me or TDD know in the next couple of days. If we don't hear from you, we'll assume you are unable to play. Thanks! -JH
Hey! You got a tshirt with your star membership! I just need to know what size you would like and where we can ship it to! Thanks! -Hawkswifey
I'm back from my cruise. Have you decided where we will play? (Yahoo, Net-chess or the original site mentioned on the message board?) -TieDyedDinosaur
Hey Hey dude! Been far too long since I've been here. It's good to be back!! -Caboose447
hey hey what's shakin' -Caboose447
Just so you know, it's been two weeks since you last updated your status in the Chess tournament. What's going on in your game with cheater200227? -ThirdOfFive
Shifty! Glad ta see yer coming to the BWBBQ! -Ulfgaard
Write on my Whiteboard, it will get posted and e-mailed to me.
