You are my hero. Way to power-trip, He-Man!

yllus, I got the same thing today. must go to the same uni. It's an automatic message I am pretty sure.

That would make sense, though whoever wrote the e-mail template seriously needs to check up on his writing style.

Check your PMs.

It would be worse if I stomped in there, yelled at the guy and then was told it was an automated message. I'd have to mutter something about rewriting the e-mail properly and jump out the nearest window.

Who violated the TOS? You did
Who is doing his job? The admin

I think it would be funny if unix admins sent out e-mails using an Evadman-style template.

Dear:

[ ] clueless user
...
[x] lazy person who knows better

You are being threatened because you

[ ] put . in your path
...
[x] have improperly set permissions

To atone you must

[ ] run Win 3.1 for a week
...
[x] get off your lazy arse and fix it

If you fail to do so you will

[ ] run Win 3.1 for the rest of your student life here
...
[x] be replaced with a very small shell script

 

[Zombie]

wht's wrong with that e-mail ?

Don't make me come over there and take your stapler.

 

[StageLeft]

Probably not all, but most. The reason they got into unix in the first place was because they had no friends remember!!

That isn't as bad as posting about wanting to kick an admin's ass because he hurt your feelings on a message board.

Ha! Its out of staples lamer! Go back to being an luser. And all of the good Unix admins I know are kind of gruff.

Hey, I'm a MacOS X admin; does that make me an asshole, a fruit, or both?

It's called a rant. It's tradition.

MacOS, ViRGE? You don't want to know.

X, it's X! It's a Unix based OS, I'm not pathetic enough to admin a Classic machine.

Is that the skill for making soft-serve ice cream cones? Must be me, I can't make cones with sexy curves with the soft serve machine in my dorm like the Dairy Queen people.
