You basically dog out the guy for saying that he doesn't want to be a cell phone help desk. You then proceed to complain about stupid questions, use profanity (goddamn), and start in with excessive emphasis to hammer a point. That's combative.

And "fucking" is considered profanity by most everybody, including the people who use it. Although I find it funny that you link the post to prove that you didn't use profanity when it's right there in that final sentence.

You seem very hung up on this RAZR thing. When I said "I was just blah blah", I was referring to the RAZR obviously. Mainly because you seem to think this is about whether or not you know about the thing rather than your bad attitude.

Because that is what this is about. Your attitude. Your first post was highly combative and dismissive of the parent posted for not wanting to be roped into playing phone tech support for his family, friends, and their immediate circle. Your first reply to me was more of the same with the added civility of profanity. There is an attempt to rewrite history here, but it isn't by me.

Personal attacks aside. I was just saying that you probably had seen one, even if you didn't realize it. Your original post gave the impression that you had little clue as to what a RAZR was. I then pointed out how your ego and bad attitude is what causes the stereotypes of malcontent IT types to persist when the actual professionals in the field are nothing like you.

Sorry for doubting your obviously huge penis and apparent maturity. Have fun on the job search. Although I feel that most companies will probably not recognize your obvious talents and amazing acumen regarding other people.

You said you've never seen one. Not all that. And you have obviously had little to no idea since you assumed there would be a setup.exe type thing. You accuse me of making all these assumptions when I did nothing but take your statements at face value.

Not to mention, being a cell phone, most apps probably are java midlets and are purchased directly from the cell carrier or simply copied over using the appropriate data cable and management software (usually included with the phone).

Anyway, the point was you demonstrated the very worst attitudes of "computer people", condemning those with supposedly less knowledge than yourself while at the same time showing a significant lack of knowledge yourself. Odds are you are either in college and do "computer work" for friends and family because you play a lot of PC games or you have some tech desk level of job.

Do everyone a favor and lose the attitude.

You've seen a RAZR.

The RAZR is a slim Motorola flip phone ridiculously popular 3 - 4 years ago for being really expensive but now is ridiculously popular for being ridiculously cheap.

And that's one thing that annoys software developers like me. It's not that "computer guys" don't know anything, it's that they assume they know more than what they do and make unreasonable assumptions about what to do before they even make the most cursory attempt at information gathering.

Submission + - Computer Upgrade on Limited Budget

natnit writes: "I build my gaming machine back in July 2005. Since I spent a bit of money on it, it's not entirely decrepit, but I do have around $250, and I'd like to make some upgrades. I was wondering: on my limited upgrade budget, which pieces of hardware should I upgrade now, and which can wait? Follow the link for my current machine's hardware (pre-upgrade)."
