It has always been illegal to be broke aka "vagrancy" laws which established a $20 dollar / proof of permanent address ie - ID card else you is a vagrant and need to be locked up so'z the descent law abidin' peoples of theze great states ain't forced to step 'roun' ya on their wayz to sumtin important. (spit at this point and grab crotch in overly manly redneck posing)

New York law is just refreshing in peoples mind that they can enforce it.

Also - the Emergency Wars Impowerment act (hope I'm saying/spelling that right) makes stockpiling illegal (more than 2 weeks of food in your possession at any one time.) Tons of stupid laws in this country - just a matter of them being enforced.

I'd take a big rat, and drug it so it'll sleep for a 24 hours. Then stick it into an annoying customer's computer.

One of two things will happen:

1) They'll ignore it and have a stink-fest in a week.

2) They'll call me about the strange noises and I'll tell them to remove the cover and check a fan (only to meet a pissed-off, starving rat).

Either way I'd spend the rest of the week with an evil grin on my face.

Why does BS_Tech_Supp want to drag wife to Tampa, I spent 2 years there and it sucked ***. Good IT job only paid $25K to $35K a year. ??????????????

I was arrested for having $1.00 in NYC without any credit cards. I spent 2 hours in jail, no further time but ruined my day.

Ok, it's been said in many different ways, but I'd just like to sit at the front counter and interview people who bring in their PC's.. I'd get a brief analysis of their mental capacity, what their problem is, and whether it's their fault or not. After that, when I discover it is a user error, I'd like to slap 'em on the back of the head and say "WTF were you thinking," and promptly seize their PC. If I'm feeling nice, I'll whip out the ruler and whack 'em on the knuckles a few times, and maybe, just maybe give them their PC back and charge them $200/hr for therapy.

*whew* Good thing they kept this ultra dangerous criminal off the streets, and it only cost taxpayers a few hundred, maybe thousand dollars and wasted the time of police officers who likely drove past muggings or rapes in the buildings surrounding where they picked you up.

These laws are only in place so they can violate other rights without being unconstitutional (eg: arresting peaceful protesters as "vagrants", or because they "gathered in public without a lisence"). Eek, get rid of the dumb laws, and use the leftover taxmoney for social reform, so we won't HAVE so many vagrants!


ahh, and one more thing for my list, just to keep this on-topic:
[*]make laws and propositions, without them being rejected. The damn gov't doesn't seem to like passing legislation that takes power away from them.....go figure.

Send all Calif cops to New Orleans Mardi Gras to learn how to control more than three people without clubing the hell out of everyone. Hasnt happened to me but I have observerd it numerous times.

Take all computers from the wealthy and give to people really in need that have the IQ to use them. We have a number of very wealthy people who snivel and bitch about the cost of everything and yet the working stiff never complains about our charges.

Force all of Citizens Phone Companies to vacate Calif and go back to NY. They have the lousiest equipment, Terrible customer relations and wont do anything to remedy the situation. $1.00 to call across the river that I can throw a rock across.

Standardize all printer carts......We have over 100 carts in stock and never seem to have the right one.

Outlaw AOL, Anything Norton, Bonzi Buddy, Gater, Dogz, Catz and all free downloads other than driver and productivity programs

If life is a bitch then what is death? I believe I will take the bitch!

Semi Battery, Jumper cables and the right to dispose of any 486, pentium 100, etc. It's only proper. I still have people bringing those in, and wondering how they can 'make the internet faster'

Heyyy l have a Pentium 100, and it works quite well (since my OS and every piece of software was hand compiled for that specific machine https://forums.windrivers.com/). But l do agree, people running Windows98 on 5-10 year old computers really shouldn't expect you to wave your magic wand and turn it into a PIII overnight. lf that were possible, Intel's stock would be traded OTC, and the Magical Tooth Fairy Inc. would be millionaires.

DOS Tech,

I can sell my little house on Cape Cod for
299K and buy a mansion in Tampa. My wife works for the government so 25K is OK. Besides no SNOW and Piña Coladas by the pool https://forums.windrivers.com/

Hate to break it to you BS_Tech_Spec, but it sucks down here. Palm Beach county doesn't have all the stupid people we got a good amount, the Tampa/St. Petersburg area has the worst road rage rate in the US (read really shi**y drivers), it's 95 with 95% humidity in the summer, and Tampa has got the most corrupt, lazy bastards in City Hall that I have ever had themisfortune to despise. Nice beaches and good football though.

Were you born with all that knowledge or did you acquire it over your lifetime? Yeah, there are a lot of stupid computer users out there but those aren't the ones that really drive me batty. After all, I charge them them to supply solutions, answers and fixes. It's the ones with annoying personality traits that make me want to (not kill them but) charge a premium price for my services. Like the one who talks non-stop and never stops to listen to me or the one who calls me "Honey" instead of using my name. Or the one who thinks the solution to all problems is "format c:". I've tried to tell him to quit using old drivers and hunt down the newest drivers for his all hardware but he refuses to listen. He's done this about 6 times in the last month. Or the ones who want my services but gripe endlessly about having to pay for it. Thank the internet for making tons of stupid computer users. I have customers who know where everything is on the web, make lots of money on Ebay but can't copy a file to a floppy disk. Years ago, computers were made to be used, now they are just internet appliances. Maybe I should be building "net appliances" instead of computers.

I'm new to the BB, but Cedar I have to agree with you.
The only type of enduser I want to unleash my temper upon would be the ones that assume I'm stupid becouse of my gender. The rest of them keep food on my table and the bills paid.

Be able to ware my duster in public.
Ware my hand guns in public.
Pack my shotgun on my back in public.
And live by the code of the west.
