Do any of you know why “Thaidog” has more man hours on the can than any other person in the history of the world? Because none of “Thaidog’s” friends know how to Read THE Fucking MANUAL! “Thaidog! I just installed Slackware and I can’t get an NTFS mount!” …well ya know why? Because it does not come with the software to mount the damn nfts filesystem! It’s an extra package. It’s got to be 1) Downloaded 2) unzipped 3) installed and 4) configured… and then it still won’t work! Ya want to know why? Cause it’s fucking LINUX dude! Nothing works in “Linux Land” without first: KICKING IT STRAIGHT IN THE ASS… !
Next up: “Dude! The computer you just spent all week on, making from scratch, configuring from scratch, and adding all that nice software won’t work with my cable modem!” …Ya wanna know why? Because you’re using the damn usb cable instead of the RJ-45! What do you do? You READ The Fucking MANUAL! Or… instead of shaking your head back and forth like you know what the fuck I’m talking about while smoking a cigarette… you actually listen when you get it from me! Since I spell it all out for you… right in front of you! What an idea! Ok. I’m through venting. Where the hell are my “Tuck’s”?
I’m sorry; I’m having a hard time getting past the irony of the title and the point of your thread.
Anyway, are you really spelling it out for them? From the tone of your OP, it is apparent (although not concrete) that you aren’t terribly concise (and rather abrupt to boot) upon explaining these procedures which aren’t exactly common knowledge as is, say, the operation of a television remore control. Maybe more patience is due on your part?
Pardon me if I miss some unmentioned outside issues that may make a difference as to your situation.
This post… just like all my other posts, is a joke. And that’s it. “read a book you illiterate son of a bitch, and step up your vocab” is a rap lyric that fit in to my day’s work today… I’m quite aware it makes no since.
If you’re gonna say it, you gotta say it with confidence. None of that question mark bullshit (their getting banned after the apostrophes & quotation marks thing goes through anyway). You either use an exclamation point and go all Chris Roc edgy in your face stylee, or you use a period and go all Mr. Blonde “I’m calm and collected matter of factly doin’ the two-step.” before he takes your ear. That way, you put fear into the heart of the bitch.
