I think that was the one where he was going to Ireland, or the land of Lord of the Rings as he called it. :laugh:

Oh, I'm too spotty in my ATOT reading - I missed this completely. Thanks for the bumpage...ness...

LOL... RossMAN, do you keep an archive of these threads and resurrect them every once in a while? What are you, the thread necromancer?

Yes and that has happened.

Fvck! Only 2 weeks before my PC is rendered inoperable due to insufficient memory!


Seriously, do you think anyone here doesn't already know you're the exact polar opposite of a brilliant and talented SW developer by Google standards?

Everyone makes mistakes, even google. Not all of their ideas have been incredible successes (even if most of them have). As such, I'm sure they can occasionally "mis-hire" someone

oh. lemme go buy 2 more gigs of ram since apparently my machine isn't standard anymore.
4gbs of ram is completely unnecessary for everyday operation. Only power users would ever dream of needing that much, and its only useful is Vista which handles and accesses memory a lot better.

oh sorry, don't wanna rain on your parade

I disagree. 4 GB is now the standard because DX10 is already out and the more DX10 games that come out the more you will see that 4 GB is a need for DX10 because it requires Vista.

I have a 733mgz 128MB machine and running XP.

Will I need another 4000MB?

No your on windows xp.

Seriously, Shens. Did they not notice all of the spelling and grammatical errors on your application?

You realize that when you guys use the term 'ownage' and spend a half hour looking up previous posts from people you only prove what a bunch of pathetic douchebags you are. You just took that much time out of your day to dig up posts from this guy, or casio, or whomever. Do you morons actually believe that you can tell how intelligent a person is in real life based on a few words on an internet forum?

And then, almost to prove the point that half of you slack-jawed morons must've been habitually dropped head first onto marble flooring as infants, you assume that anything anyone on this forum does that even remotely approaches normal day to day living MUST be lies. It's like you all project your sad pathetic existences onto the people on this forum that actually do shit with their lives. "Wait, he got a job at Google, and he posts on this forum? I post on this forum too and haven't done shit with my life, and if he's doing something with his, then I have to face, even minutely, the fact that I'm a complete idiot. Better knock him down a peg and assume he's lying so I can save my own ego."

80% of you need to grow the fsck up.

OP: Congratulations on getting a job.

A lot of people on ATOT lie. I seriously doubt that 75% of ATOT is composed of millionaire stock market wizards with 12-inch penises that can bench press 300 lbs, but many people on ATOT will claim to be all that and more. It's the joy of being anonymous (or at least semi-anonymous).

Also, making those two lists probably took no more than 5 minutes and created much hilarity. If anything, you just need a sense of humor.

OP: Congratulations on getting a job.

There are several glaring errors with your rebuttal:

1. You accuse anyone who states that pcslookout was "owned" as spending half an hour looking up old posts. While it is true that yoyo probably put in more time to this endeavor than most would deem necessary, it is nonetheless his time to use. The short "owned" responses that followed appear to have taken far less time to craft than your own reply, suggesting you have more time to waste on this topic than those you are railing against. Hypocrisy.

2. You explicitly state that you cannot tell what someone is actually like from posts on an internet forum, then appear to only apply this rule to pcslookout. All responses from yoyo and others could be extensions of this rule, thoughts, not of the humans at the computer, but of their online personas. To come on to an online forum with your own online persona and rally against this is at best ironic, and at worst, mind-numbingly stupid.

3. You take the OP at face value. You claim that anyone who makes a post indicating they have a life outside of this little world of ATOT must be telling the absolute truth and anyone who questions that truth must be overcome with jealousy (or jealousness, take your pick). But what if the OP is lying? His own online persona has posted a number of topics and replies that would make many question his intelligence, not just in the realm of computers, where he supposedly is now employed at one of the most powerful companies in the world, but in basic common sense areas as well. Nothing the OP has ever posted seems to indicate that he is a brilliant software engineer; why should any of us take what he claims at face value? If anything, this thread seems to show that he deliberately registered a second account to back himself up, something clearly against Anandtech's forum rules.

Your response to this thread seems over-the-top in defending someone who, for all intents and purposes, seems to be lying to everyone, whether by passing himself off as an idiot on the forums or as a software engineer in real life. But don't yell at people for trying to do their own investigative journalism. What they do with your own time really isn't your concern, is it? If you feel their time was wasted, why waste your own commenting? Or is that just your online persona?

Thanks yoyo, truly a classic bit of ownage, there.

Epic reply from a lurker (and possibly an ex-banned member)

Nope, there are a few memorable threads which are near and dear to my :heart:

So waht if he's lying? why do you care? The fact is probably 99% of the normal everyday things people post on here are probably true. Even if the % is lower, why do you all care so much? Nothing I've posted here indicates that I was a gifted biology student, or extremely gifted psychology student

That's because you're neither of those things.

Wait a second

Nothing I've posted here indicates that I was a gifted biology student, or extremely gifted psychology student

Ah-hah! You were actually a gifted student at one time, but then you had some sort of accident that dropped your IQ to the sub-80 range. I'm terribly sorry for your loss.

 

[Eeezee]

Also, judging by the fact that no paystub was ever scanned, we can conclude that the OP was full of shit in the end. Thanks for the good times though!

Wow, from waaaaaaaaay back.
Good read though.
