pc-tecky Posted May 10, 2004 Share Posted May 10, 2004 Hmm... Let me just... grunts... grunts even more... curses! I think I just pulled something... grunts once more.... get back here behind it. I have a whole bunch of holes. Most of them are long and narrow strips in the plastic. Why are there so many holes in the back of this thing? Let's see, now what do we have here? A set of 1/4" holes. This first one has R above it, this second one has G above it, this third one has B above it, this fourth one has H above it, and lastly, this fifth one has V above it. Are these for movie ratings? Hmm, let's see what's over here. This set of knobs protrude out with a tiny hole in the middle of them and looks metalic. The first one is yellow, the second one is white, the third one is red and they read video and stereo that branches above R and L. There this long black cable that goes from the wall to the tv. Boy this one is really tight. Grunts pulling cable. Grunts more while pulling cable more - tv jumps from the exected force. I think I nearly have it. Cable comes free and the sound of static from the tv now fills the room. Yells, "change the channe!" Looks some more with the static blaring. And of course this other cable goes to the eletrical outlet. And I have this pair of srews just sitting back here. Hmm, very interesting. Grunts serval times while popping out from behind the tv. Hmm, nobody's home. Changes channel - static. Changes channel - more static. Curses! Well I guess I'll have to call the tv repair man again. Turns off television. Does that help with any thing?What's with this thing they call a computer?And what's this thing they call the interent again?Sorry, I'm just one slow learner I guess.

Jeber Posted May 10, 2004 Author Share Posted May 10, 2004 Boy, pc-tecky, this could be a challenge. Too many holes. Perhaps you should just start sticking the end of the cable into them one by one until you either get a picture or a bunch of 1's and 0's. Or better yet, sell your TV in a yard sale, and use the money to buy newer parts for your computer. If you have a computer, you don't need a TV. Or family, either, for that matter. You'll never see either of them on a regular basis again, anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeber Posted May 18, 2004 Author Share Posted May 18, 2004 If this occurs after you've placed water and coffee grounds in the unit...drink it.If this occurs before you've added anything to it, carefully repack it and return it to the location you pilfered...I'm sorry, purchased it from for a full refund.

trigggl Posted May 18, 2004 Share Posted May 18, 2004 question: i bought this expresso maker. alright thats not the question. question: brown stuff comes out of it... what do i do? Why, you put in your favorite levels of sugar and cream into an appropriate hot beverage container and drink it!Brilliant!!Just be wary of trying to use the cup holder on your computer. They apparently aren't compatible with Linux or Windows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yikes, we don't want no stinkin' good advice in this thread.Sorry zlim,Let me try again. Temmu, you should stick your mouth where the brown stuff comes out, then turn it on. That way you don't have to worry about the cup or holder. Of course, this means you'll be drinking it black. But think of all the energy you save by not having to turn on the cup holder or washing the cups. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pc-tecky Posted May 19, 2004 Share Posted May 19, 2004 I bought this Sun Microsystems Ultra Enterprise 2 (dual processors so it can work twice as hard) as I heard several friends in the IT industry say that they make for really good servers. How can I get it to do housework? It just sits there looking stupid wheneven i ask it to do something. I would greatly appreciate advise on how to coerce this server to actually do some work such as answer the door, answer the phone, wash to the cloths, make the dinner, and make the bed. Do I need to upgrade to a newer model? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
claren44 Posted May 19, 2004 Share Posted May 19, 2004 I think you have to Overclock it...so buy a bigger clock.Love & Peace,Clarence Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ross549 Posted May 19, 2004 Share Posted May 19, 2004 Over clocking involves more than buying a bigger clock.... you have to make it run faster too...... so you need a REALLY big battery, or you need to wire it up to work off of household AC power.

trigggl Posted May 19, 2004 Share Posted May 19, 2004 No, no, no, no...The way to overclock the server is to locate as many clocks as possible and set the timer on each one to when you want something scheduled to be done. On each clock place a sticky note on it describing the work to be done at the time that the alarm goes off. Of course, some servers don't do Windows©, so that one may be ignored. As any overclocker will tell you, overclocking will void your warranty and if you overclock too much, you may break something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

teacher Posted May 19, 2004 Share Posted May 19, 2004 A note from mother in the student's best handwriting: You have my permission for whatever it is that Johnny needs permission today.......Signed Johnny's motherNotes signed by parents are a joke at best. Then again I won't mention who has a daughter that when she was in the first grade had the teacher call home because the note was signed TOM in her best printing......... When asked why she signed Tom instead of Julia the answer was simple - --- she could spell Tom......Julia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trigggl Posted May 19, 2004 Share Posted May 19, 2004 A note from mother in the student's best handwriting:That's assuming they want to be overclocked!I'm guessing they aren't. B)My 15 year old forged my name recently. The Assistant Principle could tell it wasn't mine because she could read it. Really, it wasn't even close. Obviously, a last minute thing to avoid suspension. It was a silly referal to not show us. The one we did see was of a worse behavior. She just forgot to bring the one home.

ross549 Posted May 19, 2004 Share Posted May 19, 2004 Another thought.....In light of the explosion of posts in All Things Linux, shouldn't we require a note from a spouse or parent before someone is allowed to post there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
