I'm starting to realize why most people today possess so little common sense. It's because they have it spelled out for them instead.

Seriously though, nice article. I know a few people who could probably do with a reading of it, but the sad thing is that they likely wouldn't absorb any of it. Take for instance this chat snippet from when I was helping to test the Worms 4 online demo:

Defcon[T17]: if the game ended incorrectly then SEND IN PROBLEM REPORTS!!!
Rabble: I'm too lazy!
Rabble: I have to exit the game
Defcon[T17]: well then do not expect anymore updates
Rabble: erh
Rabble: I'll be running to the report.
Rabble: Brb.
Munkee: good lad.

Sad, isn't it?

quite. more proof that people are noobs that must be destroyed. well, maybe not destroyed... then how would we make money?

[Babylon5]

You make money from destroying n00bs?

[Gravitron]

I already do that for free on a daily basis.
Where do I sign up? (to get paid)

i could do with sending this to a few of my clients

I should give this to my dad. He calls me to the "family" computer and tells me to look at the screen.

I see only a desktop and he says, "Fix it."

EH? Fix what? He points to one of the desktop items and says, "That one. Fix it."

So I go double click on that .ink, and it says it's invalid. So, I said to him that it's invalid. He still said to fix it.

I go over to My Computer, double-click C:\, and find that the Program Files folder was deleted. I ask him why it was, and he said that someone on the Yahoo forums said to do that to take out all the viruses.

How happy I am to deny access to my own personal computer now.

This is either deja vu or insanity, but this topic was posted in full form at some point in the past (with the exception of some different users, same ideas).
