Approx. 40 OS's on one x86 PC. Vicious.

Too much free time on his hands and an apparent masochistic streak.

But think of the compatibility testing! 😁

I recall there was a program that automajickally allowed you to do this, so I don't see the big deal. Maybe it's even the program that he references. In either case, I hate TechTV. They dish out crappy, unintelligent, biased information, and too much of it.

Automatic or not, the more OS's you add, the greater the likelihood that it will all go *boom*. 2 or 3 is fine, 4 is OK, 5 is pushing it, beyond that is just asking for trouble.

It's tailor-made for people who know a little about PC's but not much.

The show tells them about lots of "stuff" in an informal "non-PC Geek" kind of way. Funny thing, they actually did a segment on the-underdogs.org. Heh. Someday they might do one on VOGONS.
Picture that.

"Hey folks, here's a neat site...*mumbles* except for the admin who dissed us...

heh...

Sorry for being intollerant for "geeks" that can bridge the layman-to-geek chasm, but I think that's a bridge that's worth not being built.

Definitely. The easier you make something seem to stupid people, the more stupid people are going to try it, then f*ck it up, and then I'm going to have to listen to stupid people who phone up their neighbourhood geek (thats me, hooray) and complain that they've broken their pc and should they install a firewall to fix it?

I hate these people so much:)

ROFL
See, this is why you don't HAVE a phone. It's a win-win situation, really. Anyone important can contact you through email (like those nice people that want to give you non-accredited degrees, viagra, porn, and penis enlargers), and anyone else can sod off. (Plus, more money!) 'sides, who uses phones anymore? Seriously.

Hah, if I lived on my own, I *wouldnt* have a fone. As it is, phone connections in our house run like this:

Me: Single phone line, online 24/7

Mum: Single phone line, rings every 20mins,
Mobile. rings every 40mins

Mum's BF: Another single phone line, rings every 5 mins
Mobile, rings monthly

Mum's BF's Son: 3 Mobiles. Ring constantly. He's a twat.

Mark, Friend, turns up every week or so, stays for a week: Mobile. Rings every hour or so.

Its ludicrous, annoying, and has driven me to have winamp playing very loud metal 24/7 :)

Heh... wow.
Just ... wow.
