I need to rant, but before I do.... I would like to say how insanely cool Legos are. Just in case you were wondering. Oh yeah... and the site of the day: Lego pr0n. Don't say I didn't warn you....

Now to rant. Ok. If you are my friend, or if you hang out with me and might at some point in the future actually get to know me well enough to be my friend, or if you are a friend of one of my friends, I will be more than happy to help you with your computer/website/homework problems. However...

1. Do not ask me to format your hardrive for no reason if you do not have your OS disks. That will cause problems rebooting your system, and will cause computer downtime, which is bad.


2. When I ask you the size of your hard drive, don't tell me "Whatever comes in a Pentium II." That is not helpful.


3. Do not tell me that your computer is fully functional if your floppy drive is fried, your cd drive is semi functional, and your keyboard is flakey.


4. If I have to leave for a group meeting, do not do dumbass things like deleting your primary partition and all your dos commands.


5. If you delete your primary partition while I'm gone, do not call me up and claim you "hit the wrong button." You hit several wrong buttons. As far as I know, there are no one-keystroke dos commands to delete a partition.


6. Do not expect me to fix your stupid mistakes at 11:30pm when the network is down and I have a lab due the next day. It will stress me out.


7. Do not insult my music preferences/CD collection while I am fixing your stupid mistakes. It will make me want to blow up your computer.


8. Do not brag about the new case you payed too much for, and tell me it has a "window" if you do not know what a mod is, or if you have ugly flat gray cables and have no clue they make anything different.


9. Do not make me use Windows 3.x, 95, 98, or Dell computers.


10. Do not give me your password/login info and expect me to forget it before I have time to do anything devious. Either don't give me your password, or change it when I leave.

Oh... and a word about roommates and computers. If I am on my computer, and you want to use my computer, you should wait until I'm done. My homework, games, and blogging take precidence over your e-mail, because it's my computer. If you need internet access and cannot wait for me to finish, then go to the lab. Do not tyr to kick me off of my computer. It will piss me off. Grr.

*sigh*. I'm better now. Stupid people just piss me off.
