Unfortunately Satan gets to take the next stab at it. Your test will take place in a Pawn Shop with a cashier named Zeke.

:laugh:

Just to add to your story, I had a similar experience the other day at staples:

SA (Sales Associate): Well what are you looking for
Cust: My daughter goes to UConn and needs a data cable splitter
SA: We don't have one for you to use, you would have to buy a router
Cust: Well do you have those?
SA: No.
Me: Um, tell me again what you want to do?
Cust: Split a data connection
Me: Here's a switch, it'll do what you want it to
SA: That won't work.
Me: Yes it will
SA: I've tried it, it won't work
Me: Um, I work for a company testing US Navy learning systems, we have 16 computers and 4 servers going into one switch....trust me, it will work
SA:I dont think so
Me: Keep thinking *walk out*

O3 can open 07 JUST FINE, you just need to download the file conversion thing from MS, the FIRST time you try and open a 07 Doc in 03 it prompts you to do this
its like a 6meg DL takes 10 secs

So testing Navy learning systems gives one network knowledge?

I would have asked why the switch wouldn't work for UConn's setup.

Part of my job is to set up the network that we use to do the training systems. we just moved into a new lab which i assisted with all the wiring as well. I really didn't want to go into it all with him.

No pics, daughter wasn't with him else i might have been hitting on her instead of paying attention to he father.

 

[alkemyst]

Switches don't always work...you'd need to know what's going on to be sure...hence why I'd have asked why.

[Modeps]

YAWR!

(yet another worthless rant)

A switch might or might not work depending on how the network is setup ... however a cheap wired router will also function as a switch so they would be covered either way & Staples sells several different models of these.

What is it like to know that you're in no way contributing to society? That must invoke thoughts of suicide in the darkened, early hours of the morning. Or at least (and more likely) thoughts of eating an entire case of snack size Cool Ranch Doritos and a six pack of Mountain Dew. Judging by your post count, I'd be willing to guess the latter

Also, learn to capitalize, shitstick.

wow...posts like this make me laugh...so how exactly am i not contributing to society? oh noes! i'm not using capital letters on an intarweb posting board full of morons. uh oh, i didn't use capital letters again!

So funny that I read this thread yesterday at work.

I was in my filler class I took this semester (basic MS Office use... yeah it's below me by about 10 years, but hey some hot chicks in there and an easy A ), and the professor saved everything in 2k7. Well you guessed it we had a debate about if previous Office's could open 2k7 files. I tried explaining they could, but it was like talking to a wall. Or maybe it went over their heads....

I love learning how to create a folder, and rename it, in windows...

Damn, I thought it said "mormon rant". This wasn't that interesting. Most IT people are clueless and arrogant - I have trouble getting worked up about it anymore.

lmao. you're such a wonderful member of society. isn't there some kind of forum rules about this kind of stuff?

i almost forgot: Text

 

[Jschmuck2]

Probably the same ones that have the rule about thread crapping. Clearly this is serious business.

I'm at a school today and a student comes in to print our her homework. I'm listening to the staff member and the student talk and the conversation goes something like this:

Tch: "Well, I don't know why your homework isn't showing up. What program did you type it in? Was it Microsoft Works? Because that doesn't work."

Stu: "No, I'm positive it was in MS Word."

Tch: "Hmmm - well, what version did you use?"

Stu: "MS Office 2003. That's what we have."

Tch: "Oh, well there's your problem right there. We use MS Office 2000 here and the software can't see into the future.

Me: (blood pressure rising to dangerous levels) "M'am, would you be insulted if I took a look at that?"

Tch: Go right ahead.

Me: (to the student) Ok, well, it looks like the document isn't on your flash drive at all, so you probably accidentally moved it onto another computer. Have you accessed this flash drive on another computer today? (nods) Ok, why don't you go back there and try to find it.

Tch: That doesn't matter - she still won't be able to open it on our system. It's Microsoft Office 2003 and we have 2000. I've been using PCs since they came out and I've never seen a piece of software that has a time machine, have you?"

Me: (hulk transformation, carnage and destruction ensue and then my brain melts.)

THE END

EDIT: for closure

I just walked out. Turned around and left. When I go back there, I'm going to bring a CD with a ton of differently formatted files and leave it on her desk with my card.

Or shit in her shoes, one of the two.

<sigh> Welcome to tech hell.
