I'm the lead developer at a company that ships updates to its customers every month. Invariably, we will get numerous calls each time we ship a CD saying that "It won't update to the new CD, it says it can't find it." Mind you we're talking about attorneys and judges here people who you'd expect to be intelligent. Sometimes it's a configuration problem which is easily fixed, but more often than not it's just that they were eating fried chicken or a sloppy peanut butter and jelly sandwich right before they decided to update our software. After telling them to take the CD out of the drive, wipe it off, put it back in and try again, it works! It's magic!

So in honor of those people, I'm creating a new acronym:

Clean The Fcking CD!

My son did that to his favorite game. I cleaned it off and then let him believe it was ruined for about a month, then I told him it was OK and not to get crap all over it again.

My father used to make me wash my hands before he would let me use the computer. Of course, this was when I was like 4 years old and we had an Apple IIe, but still . . .

well, here's your first error in judgement

having the talent and/or lack of morals to allow for a child molester to walk freely on the streets in no way correlates to intelligence

I built an Athlon 1.33 DDR for a friend and the copy of Counter Strike he gave had fingerprints all over it. I had to wipe it offf so it would install.

I still grouse and b_tch every time some one is drinking pop or eating over a computer keyboard. We actually keep our CDs in the jewell case.
