One can transmit over powergrid though but not at that distance.

whats even funnier is that your link doesnt work

Does for me :/

I could fill a site like that twice over with the crap Ive heard.

Some of them made me chuckle but Ive heard most of them before.

I work for a distance learning provider with regards to IT courses.

Best ever line Ive heard from one of our students.

"I didnt realise Id have to learn stuff, its like im back in school again."

Swiftly followed about 5 minutes later

"well I suppose it isnt all bad, no exams this time around eh *chuckles..*"

5mins later after I explain to him that hed have to pass an exam for each module of the course.

"what a real one?! cause im no good in exams, I just cant revise stuff like. This isnt fun, can I cancel, I want my money back, ugh... didnt know I had to learn stuff like school mun!"

tis funny - there seems to be loads of adverts at the moment saying do this distance learning course & youll be able to get a great job in IT

like the one where they suited bloke is going to some layabout wouldnt you like to be designing your own computer games

layabout - yeah, but i bet there is no money in it

Suited bloke well how about 35k per year and a compnay car sound

seriously - doing a correspondance course if going to get someone a job as a games developer + a company car - as if

though I reckon some of the guys selling these expensive IT courses with false promises are earning a few bob

User on the phone; hi, My computer isnt working at all, it wont come on.
Me: Ok, Ill come and look at it.

15 mins later...

User: Ahhhhhh, so thats the on button, is it?

--------------------------------------------

User: Hi, I cant access my email...
Me: OK, its slightly new now, instead the icon being on your desktop, its now in the Start menu.
User: Whats the Start menu?

^ get that one lots

---------------------------------------------

The amount of users who phone up after getting a new pc saying they cant print, and all theyre getting is the option to save sommink somewhere... damn image writer to hell!

*Is there a way of setting it so the Image writer doesnt automatically default to the default printer for each user as they log onto the same machine? I normally have to go in and delete the thing, tbh though it shouldnt even be installed in the first place. *

-----------------------------------------------

/I dont mind the silly questions, most users get very little training and its like Id struggle if someone plonked a washing machine in front of me and asked me to do a cotton cycle - wtf?

The ones that annoy me are the ones who ask a silly question and get their answer and then theyll think of a load more questions, just so they sound more intelligent.

You can see it in their faces, they wanna get the most of you while youre there, like "uuhhhhh, whats the best thing to clean the screen with?" and "Duhhhhh, can I make the background pink?" and "mmmmmuuhhh, should I turn it off at night or just log off?"

I had a pair of users like that in the same office the other week - a 2 minute job turned into 40minutes of The Windows XP & Life-in-General Crash-Course,

They expect me to work there once I leave uni, but to be honest the ethical practices there alienate me every day I work there. If it wasnt for the £7.00 an hour I was getting Id go get a bar job.

I used to do similar training trying to get people through the basic claits and then NVQs, some of them had problems using a word processor for the claits let alone the database!

We managed to get them through though although one had to take the db test for claits well over a dozen times. Thankfully there was no cost in failing it otherwise it might have been expensive.
