Where do you find the time to work between sleeping and posting here? It's obvious you're unemployed. Not only that, there isn't a soul in the world that would hire you.Quote:

i'm basically there as a courtesy to people who've been there longer so they can have a day off, that's what it seems like to me anyways
dude you totally said "yeah i already quit that job" or something really similar when i was tryng to give you a peptalk about making it through the probationary period (90 days) like a week or 2 ago.
also all those times i told you to kill yourself, well i did that because i was afraid you really would but i hoped that deep down you hatted me enough not to give my faggot ass the satisfaction.
youre welcome, dickhead.
you're basically unemployed
i wish i could strap your mind into a circus ride and show you what Hell looks likeQuote:

hmm i dicked around with it for a while, i was basing that off of videos i saw on it because i vowed to myself to never use Windows 8 again; although i might get it and just download the classic shell
The same applies though: casual users are only going to do what is immediately conveyable to them. If you put shit in random counter-intuitive places, most casual users are going to just do their best to live without using it, and only use shit like IE to check facebook, etc.. and never learn more about their computer
You can't buy respect, and Microsoft lost mine when they put ads in their OS interface trying to sell me shit
so in other words they'll be just like you, they won't learn anything that they can't do via clicking on the pretty pictures that are right in front of their faceQuote:

No it's not, we're still going to have the same ratio of dumbasses who don't know what the hell they're doing and you're still going to be one of themQuote:

if getting to the control panel or command prompt is too complicated and counter-intuitive, a casual user is just going to live without it
Like you've been doing for years because you can't handle any task which isn't spoon fed to you

Like I said earlier, give me a DOS manual and a dictionary and I can do anything in DOS that you can, granted it will take me longer to get in the groove, simply because you have more experience with it, but I could still catch up.
i'm sorry, i forgot you built your computer out of raw materials and literally designed everything yourself without any of it being "spoonfed" to youQuote:

You have neither the inclination nor the ability to learn DOS, if you were the power user you like to pretend that you are you'd already know it. I'll bet you don't even know how to add a snap-in to the MMC.Quote:

First of all, there's more than one way to skin a cat. Second of all, if someone changed all the characters to random Chinese symbols, rearranged all the keys on the keyboard which would also be in chinese, then you'd be completely lost and you know it.
When I want to or have to, I can learn it to the extent I need to to get it to do what I need it to do. If I can use it to my benefit, then that's all that countsQuote:

There really isn't, there's a ton of shit that can only be done via DOS or powershell and if you don't know either of those things you've obviously never done themQuote:

Also, I am not criticizing those people beneath me, rather I am defending them; I want it to be as easy as possible for those people to be able to learn about computers so they do become smarter about computers - that can't happen if there's some leech stacking the cards against them.
