AnandTech Semi-Official FAQ [now Officially Running]

Duckers

Platinum Member
Don't you guys think we should combine efforts and create a Semi-Official AnandTech FAQ ?

How many times have we heard these questions:

What is a troll / trolling ?

What is a nef ?

What does it take to be a Senior Member ?

What does it take to be an Elite Member ?

What is NCNE standing for?

What does it mean Anand?

Who are the mods ?

How do you run Q3 time demo / UT performance test ?



What do you guys think ?
 
Why does dennilfloss include songs after his posts in OT?

🙂

If I get one more email about that I'll scream. :Q

Now I know I'll get spammed! 🙁 😉

Peace Frog (The Doors)
 
Prodigy^,

Dunno. I can't learn lyrics if my life depended on it, but titles, artists and years just stick in my head for some reason. Maybe it's because I've listened to a friggin lot of music in my life. 🙂

C'est La Vie (Emerson, Lake & Palmer)
 
Why could Buffy kick Xena's butt to kingdom come?

Why is wrestling fixed?

Why does my cat's breath smell like cat food?

Why were Red Dawn and Willie Nelson separated at birth?

Why does Russ think marriage is such a great institution?

Why do the Red Wings suck?

Why does Anime make Uranus look so cool?



😉

The Closer I Get To You (Roberta Flack)
 
Why am I so soft in the middle?

Why am I short of attention?

Will it go round in circles?

Will it fly high like a bird up in the sky?

Wonder if he'll ever know he's in the best selling show?

Is there life on Mars?
 
I can't remember lyrics or artists and titles! Probably cause I have the biggest MP3 playlist know to man. My computer actually takes time to scroll down the whole thing.
 
"My computer actually takes time to scroll down the whole thing."

Hehe. Another satisfied Compuke customer. 😉

A Piece Of Liquid (Joe Satriani)
 
I just did. 😉

BTW, at 200 posts one is still just a member. You need 201. 🙂

Did It In A Minute (Darryl Hall & John Oates)
 
BTW, at 200 posts one is still just a member. You need 201.

I fixed that detail. Don't worry, I gave you credit 🙂
 
Why could Buffy kick Xena's butt to kingdom come?

Because Buffy has the inborn powers of the vampire slayer, agile as well as fierce, her mojo would send anyone to kingdom come... 😉 But it would be a close match because of Xena's human strength can match or somewhat match Hercules... Plus, maybe Buffy opened a can of spinach back stage before each battle?...

Why is wrestling fixed?

The institution of wrestling is always fixed because behind the flashing lights and smoke, there are a group of mobs and highly respected ganglords who fix the match in their favor because one of their high source of income comes directly from suckers losing in every match to a disguised gang leader in common betting duds. This is why such ganglords are such powerful influences. Besides, it is also fixed to prevent the wrestlers from getting injured really badly for if they die, who else would parade in tight leather underwear?

Why does my cat's breath smell like cat food?

Because cats eat cat food and since food smells, logic dictates that a cat once eaten a can of cat food would have the smell transfered from the food to the cat's mouth. Now if only your breath would stop smelling like this stuff too. 😛

Why were Red Dawn and Willie Nelson separated at birth?

Because in the name of good! Red Dawn and Nelson in essence holds a much higher factor than the rest of humankind. Their brains can overwork past the 10% capacity even up to 9800000 times the smartest human. However, both brains would have to be put together in order to do that. Since Red and Nelson were both siamese twins sharing a head and two bodies yet two distinct personalities and tests under gone a massive research that discovered that one half of a brain, being that powerful, can control all aspects of the body that would need two halves brain to do. The psychologists and neurologists did several excruciating exams and tests. It turns out that the personalities were in separate brains. So, an operation went through and both brains and the bodies were separated. Two new people can move separately and function normally. And with more tests, the separate brains can still maintain function over the body and own mental process but however lost the ultrahuman mental capacities. Quite dangerously so which was the doctors intent for such a single life form so smart shall bring upon the end as we know it...

Why does Russ think marriage is such a great institution?

Russ is a capitalist remember? Being a capitalist, the institution of marriage brings upon the abilities to have couples share a tax return file... I think...

Why do the Red Wings suck?

Because they have lost. Enough said.

Why does Anime make Uranus look so cool?

Uranus has this cool attack in a way a bright shining glowing image of a planet Uranus is formed from her hands can wipe out an entire army of evil foes. And the walk in the wind scene and combined with the maturity of a woman, the animators were very happy with the look. Besides, in the story, Uranus is from the planet of the wind and wind equals cool breeze. Faster than wind, enough to outrace anyone, anyone might think it is cool. With the tomboyish personality and a likeing for cars and motorcycles also like the guys sort of, why not?
 
Why am I so soft in the middle?

Because the delacicies of the internal organs are made of soft tissues which can be really deadly if harmed. The reason that they are not as hard is in the flexability which some of their functions call for. Plus, you must be the Philsbury doughboy. 😛 (pokes finger)

Why am I short of attention?

You are short of attention because you do not set up flashing neon light signs pointing your exact location plus you did not order the right kind of band to direct an audience at you. Or maybe your act just sucks. 😉 Grab that cane. Who is next?

Will it go round in circles?

Pertaining to every viable thing in the universe, of course it would go around in circles. Things are always running in a neverending cycle. Take the earth for example. Always going around and around. Take the hard drive too. If it did not go around and around, how would you be seeing the stuff here right now? If the globe did not keep going around and around and suddenly halted, we would fly off the face of the earth as we know it. 😛 Seriously, things are in perfection when they are in a circle. And economic for it cuts corners.

Will it fly high like a bird up in the sky?

It would not fly high up in the sky unless you are in the airplane bathroom and you see a message in blood...

Wonder if he'll ever know he's in the best selling show?

If he stats to see his own face plastered around and a line forms in front of that face, he'll know.

Is there life on Mars?

Go there and live in a leanto on Mars. Then there is life on Mars. Unless you have no life to begin with then there is no point in sending yourself up there to make this question into a yes question.
 
Imaginer, you definitely have way too much time on your hands !

I might include this one though:
Why does Russ think marriage is such a great institution? 😉

The credit will be given to dennilfloss and Imaginer!
 
Duckers,

My answer to that sarcastic, yet tantalizing, question would have definitely differed from Imaginer's! 😉

It all began in 1978. Not even a mouse was moving in the house...

😀

If I Could Turn Back Time (Cher) (if Russ could...😉)
 
Na. Let's just say that 'Russ' and 'marriage' rarely appear in the same sentence nowadays. Ask him if you really need an answer (but remember that some questions are better left unanswered).

BTW, I think that question should preferably not be included. It was a joke, not a suggestion.

D.I.V.O.R.C.E. (Tammy Wynette)
 
Maybe you should include something about RC5. Like what RC5 is. I don't think the newbies really have a clue what that is either. Just a suggestion you don't have to if you don't wanna.
 
that's a good idea.

You are welcomed to tell me the definition and purpose of RC5 so I can add that info to the FAQ!!!

You might also want to tell us what is exactly SETI@home....
