How technically adept are you?

Thanks for the flashback to my master's thesis.

- insert clever comment here -

you forgot:

1. I am a cyborg
2. Transfered my mind to the internet as miscellaneous background noise
3. Started my own collective
4. Made a USB power glove and wrote my own drivers for it

I'm technicaly proficent enough to get hired here. I'm not good enough so that they let me overclock anything but pork products yet, or test any hardware with anything but my forehead.

Yes but can you OC a sandwich??? I think not!!!

So it went through your system at a faster speed?? I hate when food does that...

*Overclocks Shroud of Turin.*

I know how to roll a Compaq Proliant 6000 off of a roof....

My previous rig fell 2m about a year back. The only damage was that 512MB RAM 'disappeared' - the DIMM was still there, but as far as the BIOS was concerned, 1024MB - 512MB slot 1, 0MB slot 2. Windows picked up 1GB, 512MB in slot 1, 0MB in slot 2.

Weird. 512MB of RAM became 'ghost' RAM - the oddest was that the damaged DIMM can not be removed from the motherboard, otherwise the motherboard refuses to start. Weird.

ASRock P4M800, for those who want to know.

I wouldn't know.

how does that pole reflect the kind of people you or we have around here.

Computer skills in no way reflects the insane twisted sense of humor I find archives within these hypothetical pages. I only wish I had the warped (creative) mind set to come up with these seemingly random responses. Or at least had the ability to participate.

I am fairly competent with computer systems. I actually built one from a bunch of special order parts that all said they would work together and turn on. This was done after hours of reading through this form just to find out what an lg775 was and what worked with it. However, the machine did/does turn on and does currently work. So I must have some minor skills. Or simply the ability to read, which many of the current viewers of this thread and or forum do not.

Someone, more skilled then i needs to come up with a poll to test the visitors ability to follow simple advice and to withstand this wonderful societies ridicule and or love.

Then you and or we may have some idea of those around us.

wait youre an industrial engie?

I knew things were going to go weird with that, when all my work accounts started to have "bacon" in their name.

I second this!!!

Talk about TTL chips. I stuck a 4M EPROM into a slot once, the wrong way around (GND had 5Vdc and 5Vdc had GND) and slotted the module it was located on back in. Turned out quite the heatspreader...

And then I'm not even gonna count the number of eprom pins I bent trying to get one of those fockers out. Being AMD based EPROM's from the 90's era, its not easily replaceable so I climbed the popularity stakes with my boss. I think we have 1 more spare left...

And programming the darn thing is such a pain - erase for 20min, program on a one slot programmer with like 20 chips needed to be programmed..

That's my useless mumblings for the day

Sober on what was a Tuesday night? Never! lol

I only had 6 beers and a glass of red. Actually, they were a sixer of Hollandia. I enjoyed them. Nice drop.

Bomber - you're not alone. I'm still trying to work out how to get the email notifications back

Oh...well that simplifies it...

Now that I've got my avatar going, my sig's disappeared again.

Mac - just discovered that. I added [other] as a keyword - presumably this means I get notified of every new thread in The Other?

Doesn't appear to be working.

The condolences or the notification?

We need that 'in reply to' thing back!

I was talking to Llamaman.

And you are talking to...?

I resent that statement.

Yes.
