Platypus' Prediction Game

**El_Squid** · October 27th, 2009, 12:06 PM

Negatory. 12 years into 4th marriage. A record for me.

The next poster has recently purchased a new firearm and hasn't had a chance to take it to the range yet.

**Guts3d** · December 10th, 2009, 04:19 AM

False, but there is a gun show this weekend...

I predict that the next poster has had some experience with Windows 7.

**Platypus** · December 10th, 2009, 07:11 AM

True, I ran the beta and the release candidate, and put the RTM on an SSD as soon as it was available on MSDN.

I predict the next poster had forgotten about this thread.

**CeeBee** · December 10th, 2009, 10:19 AM

False, I was waiting for others to post. And THEY forgot about it...
I predict the next poster needs to reinstall the O/S on his/her main computer.

**clauded** · December 10th, 2009, 07:35 PM

false i ru win7 pro and never had an os as stable as this and that incudes all pinguins in the world,
i bet next poster is planning a big party for christmass

**slgrieb** · December 10th, 2009, 08:31 PM

Unfortunately, that's false. Our closest family members are about 500-600 miles away. We did the trip for many years, but I'm done with that. I expect the rest of the family to make the pilgrimage to visit us about 5 years after Hell freezes over.

I predict the next poster has spent way too many hours this week fighting a network problem that looked simple, but has proven to be a monster.

**Niclo Iste** · December 10th, 2009, 10:22 PM

True and I worked on 2 of em this week. I hate nortons firewall and I hate even more that people run an obscure firewall alongside it on their computers. By the way CeeBee you're darned right someone has to reinstall Win7

however I'm getting Win7 Ultimate 64bit to replace it for free so I'm only semi mad that I have to reinstall it.

I predict the next poster thinks I'm getting it for free through not so honorable means. (Shame on you for thinking of such a thing about me by the way)

**TrekCaptainUSA** · December 10th, 2009, 10:50 PM

False. I don't think you're that evil.

I predict the next person hasn't had to troubleshoot a UNIX server for the past several hours... (what a pain in the @$$ that was. But I get paid for it, nevertheless.)

**CeeBee** · December 14th, 2009, 09:49 AM

As true as possible. In fact I've never actually troubleshooted any *nix.
I predict the next poster is not a fan of the penguin.

**Guts3d** · December 14th, 2009, 01:45 PM

Not by choice, I just never needed anything but Micro$oft.

I predict that the next poster is partial to French Fries... And pickles...

**slgrieb** · December 14th, 2009, 09:34 PM

Whoa! That's too confusing. Do you mean: Fond of French Fries and also fond of pickles, or fond of the combination?

Hm. Well, let's say you get half credit 'cause I love pickles. Claussen, Vlasic, or Wiclkles.

I predict the next poster has a long list of techie gifts to give, but wants something simple like fleece pullovers.

**CeeBee** · December 15th, 2009, 09:24 AM

You couldn't be more WRONG. I *hate* receiving pullovers and each year I receive 2 or 3 of them - quality cashmere in most cases

. I have no desire for them. I never wear them (hell I wear t-shirts in January). Suggested those people that I never wear them, yet they keep coming...

I predict the next poster is yet to do the bulk of xmas shopping.

**houseisland** · December 15th, 2009, 11:55 PM

Yes and no. Sort of like is the glass half empty of half full? Lots left to do, but maybe not "most."

I predict that the next poster will be slgrieb or Guts3d, but, hey, with the way things are going I could be wrong. (So I guess I have all options covered)

**MobilePCPhysician** · December 16th, 2009, 01:37 AM

You are obviously wrong....

I predict the next poster will have a background in the arts.

**Guts3d** · December 16th, 2009, 04:57 AM

False, the only thing I can draw are conclusions and flies, in that order...

I predict that the next poster is toying with the idea of a solid state hard drive purchase...
