    Stupid people should need computer licenses.

    We allow morons to risk our lives on the roads, but they need licenses to do so.

    How so then, do the myriad cretins gain free roam to assault our sanity on the information super-highway (do you see what I did there? That's transposition that is.)

    I blame god.

    Dear god.

    My company, is a Business-grade Wireless internet company. We supply extremely high-speed wireless internet to some big-name customers.

    But...

    Our company is also a rebrand of 4 companies created into 1. One of these companies.. had dialup customers.

    I'm sick to death, of explaining the difference between The Internet, and Email, and sick of dealing with someone who doesn't know what a browser is.

    Its much more fun when I'm dealing with someone who understands what an IP address is.. what a subnet means.. who understands that I mean a router when I say "Cisco", and not some 1-hit-wonder pop-star.

    STUPID PEOPLE!

    I had this very argument with my manager. Some people should only be allowed to use technology that their license allows. and NO provisionals!

    But you see the problem here?

    This kind of work is not for a programmer. I get so sick of it in our environment as well.
    We develop a product, and when support time comes, we are the ones who should answer all the questions.

    What ever happened to Business Analysts and Support Desks?

    Re: Stupid people should need computer licenses.

    People don't want to learn anything about anything. People are lazy, obese slugs that want everything to be done for them without any effort on their part.

    Joe Slug: What? You want me to actually work while I'm on the clock? I don't understand. I thought I was just supposed to come here and pick my nose!

    Here is what happens when you try to teach something about computers to Joe Slug. The parentheses shall represent Joe Slug's thoughts:

    Ok. I need you to open up your Microsoft Outlook application so we can find out why you aren't getting your email. (Ok... *click* it is open now.) Alright, now in the lower right corner of the window, so it say "offline?" If so, click on it and uncheck work offline. (Ok... *click* *click* it is unchecked.) **Now at this point, everything has gone fine. But let's watch what happens when we try to explain to slug what that means.** Alright, when you are offline of the netwo... (Omg, he is saying network. *Brain shuts down* Oh pamela anderson, how I wish I could smack your... ....Whatcha gonna do with all that junk, all that junk inside your trunk....)
    My monkey wearing the fedora points and laughs at you.
