And with the potential to cost large amounts of money or cause slightly inconvenient electrical fires in the worst case scenarios.
That's why my OP states not to post people for legitimate questions, only for bad advice. Nobody worth a damn wants to make people feel bad for asking a question. Just for giving harmful advice.
The worst cases of PEBKAC all come from people who think they know more than they do, anyways.

Formatted the OP a bit more, to make additions smoother.

LOL :D
Also, don't worry about 1-star ratings or whatever...it really doesn't matter~ Also, unless you're a widely respected forum member, people will also like to randomly 1-star blogs too, etc. Stick and stones may break one's bones, but bad blog ratings on TL will never hurt heh.

Oh, believe me, I laughed my ass off when I saw it. I only even mentioned it in the OP because I thought it added to the comedic value that someone went all passive aggressive because they didn't like being featured here, but didn't have the stones to try and defend their statements.

This advice is generally on par with suggesting someone go mass SCV to counter Banelings.

I'm certain RAM has surpassed HDDs in efficiency by now...

They let you know what time it is, clearly.

That's why it's funny. Except for the part where RAM exists to be faster than less volatile forms of memory. It never would have started being used if it wasn't faster, since it loses the data rather quickly without being refreshed.

It should qualify you to at least the same level as all of the people that inspired this thread.

It was satirical. But thank you.

Apologies. Enough people have posted here saying they don't get it that I missed the sarcasm dripping in your tone of voice.

This happens once every millenia or so, they randomly select a person they think is noble of spirit and true of heart, they issue a challenge that will take the said person on a long and dangerous adventure that will lead to great personal growth within the protagonist. The protagonist being you!
Good luck my friend...may your unlocking of the sacred gateways be successful...I know it will be tough, but if anyone can do it...it's you...Goku.

Haha. This made me laugh so hard. That guy is hilarious. I am now reading all of Smurg's posts in hopes of finding more gold.

Indeed, asking for (simple) computer help on a forum is really stupid, when most of the information can be found on the Internet. I'm tired of especially the build threads, people are just too lazy to do their own research and are just waiting for people to spoon feed them, or in cases as shown in OP, getting spoon fed, resulting in more uninformed and ignorant people. A lot of people tend to think they're some kind of tech wiz and often don't back up their statements with evidence or do research before they spout their nonsense.
