Krazy   07-29-2003 at 01:42:02 AM

Well, seeing as I can't pick up the phone and ask to speak to a movie star, :-D I was wondering if there was anybody on these boards, or if you know of anybody on these boards, who is at least well known, and/or has achieved something and is someone I could (don't laugh) 'admire'

I wouldn't do this in my normal state of mind, but I need to conduct an interview for my English with a person I know and 'admire' :-D
(it’s a bit stupid really because they give examples of people to interview such as the Prime minister, famous actor etc. which somehow I doubt!)
And yet, from the great help I’ve gotten from here before, I thought I’d give it another go (there’s got to be at least one of you hidden talents out there).

So if anybody who can help, and wouldn't mind me asking no more than 6 questions for an interview (I’d do it privately via Private Msg) I would really appreciate it. Even if you made up some things or exaggerated a bit, I don’t mind, just as long as it is appropriate. :-)

thanks

Yeah, he hasn't been on here nearly as much lately. He just needs a purpose, like being interviewed about his filthy cock.

I think Krazy has an honest, serious question - ok, I'm not famous - except to hundreds of women ...

Yeah, I haven't heard of anybody who's genuinely famous on here, though. Several of are well-known for our sexual exploits, but I don't know if we qualify as famous.

Well if you have a couple of weeks to prepare you could try contacting the CEO (Chief Executive Officer) of a large company. These people are usually very helpful to students and will give you a little bit of their time.
Try calling and e-mailing some of the bigger companies in your country. You should get a reply. Most large companies will have a toll free number to call. If you're polite and explain your situation you should get lots of feed back.
However don't get to discouraged if you run into a few rude people. It's going to happen.
Pick a company. Learn about the history of the company. What the company's product is. It could be a manufactured product or a service. Know the name of the person you are seeking to communicate with. Try to find out how long the person has been the CEO for the company and what they have done to improve the company. All this information is usually found on a company's web site.

You could send Fredi (our webmaster) a private message. Maybe he could help you get an interview with Dr. Thomas Pabst the founder and owner of Tom's Hardware Guide.

I am not a doctor. I like women's breasts too much.

Thomas Pabst is a medical doctor.

The more i think about it the more of zpyrd's idea i like, how would i go about contacting 'Fredi' or Dr. Thomas Pabst? just send him a private message, or would email be more appropriate?,

though still, if there is anyone famous or well know around here, we'd all love to know :-)

You can send a Private Message to Fredi or send him an e-mail to this address: webmaster@tomshardware.com
Or you could send an e-mail to Thomas Pabst at this address: tom@tomshardware.com
I would try e-mailing Fredi at the webmaster address to see if he can help you get in contact with Tom.

You don't know anyone locally you admire, like a family member of sufficiently strong character or sucess?

All I've ever done was expose the defective capacitor issue on several motherboards, which sparked a journalistic investigation, and caused a severe problem with several Tiawanese capacitor manufacturers, possibly causing some lost jobs.

I've just been told by Fredi (which whom i have to thank) to send Mr. Thomas Pabst a direct e-mail with the questions.

If he does accept the interview. and i'm given permission, i will certainly post my work, i might even put it up before i give it to the teacher, you guys could double check it for any errors that way :-D

But only if i'm allowed :-D

cheers

so do post your work here if you do get to talk to him

dood tom doesn't even read these boards. there is no way he would see this. its just like when people tell me "you're trying to up your post count", there is no reason for me to do that nor to kiss up to tom. there is no need. i'm simply saying he is a kick ass guy.

sometimes i really think there is something wrong with your way of thinking. why would i need to kiss up to tom huh? you mind telling me? either that or stop being stupid.

I meant it to be funny. Scammy took it way too seriously for some reason. I don't think I've ever seen someone say that seriously. So much anger in that boy.

Tom did make a post in the graphics forum a while back.
His post was regarding the flame wars raging between nVidia and ATi fans. He was asking posters to calm down and to respect each other.

I'm rather optimistic and think he posts here under a pseudonym.
