[CentOS is] a free operating system that this guy gives away, which tells you how much time he?s got on his hands.?

Amazing how the guy still seemed to blame it on him after it was fixed by the hosting company.

New variant of oldsmoboat's law: If the thread title suggests that the contents are "the funniest thing"/"one of the funniest things" ever, the content will be mildly humorous at best.

I guess I'm really a geek. I snorted pepsi out my nose when I read this cause I laughed so hard.

Wow, he sounds like an asshole from the e-mails.

KUDOS to the CentOS guy for not sending the whole mess to the Tuttle newspaper.

hahahaha I laughed so hard at the ignorance of this man. If you took a basic computing class in highschool, you would know what the problem is from the start....

 

[iamaelephant]

Eh, mildly amusing nothing great.

 

[zephyrprime]

The problem is, the centos guys tried to explain what centos is.

Big mistake.

I've done end user support before. Explaining to users what their problem is is pointless. They just aren't knowledgeable enough to comprehend anything.

What a moron.

I hope someone sends the tuttle times a link to those pages

The guy's an absolute jerk... I wouldn't have had anywhere near the patience with him that the CentOS guy had. Funny stuff - not ROTFLMAOPIMP level, but still a highly amusing read. :thumbsup:

If you read the emails between the two people you'll see that tuttle-ok.gov was working but that it lead the CentOS employee to cityoftuttle.org which was dead.
