Christchurch Treehouse of Awesome-Where everyone knows your name

Once had a guy who wanted a cellphone that didn't use any wireless technology cause it makes the bees go loopy, and the world will end.

That's obviously whats causing Colony collapse disorder which is a real problem in the US.
I also saw something about coloured honey in France, there was a M&M's factory near by and the bees where gathering stuff from the empty food dye containers left outside

So he was right....

Well no, not in my experience... On his Wiki page ""Piggy" Muldoon was a dictatorial Prime Minister who nearly destroyed both New Zealand's economy and New Zealand society through his arrogance."
Perhaps he should say "New Zealanders who emigrate to Austrailia only do so because of my shitty legacy".

"You have to question the intelligence of any group that openly dislikes a place and its occupants, only to move there to live." - Emrico1

[Tandoori]

I'm largely a fan of Muldoon, but that's probably because I never had to life in Fortress New Zealand.

TBH going by the every day population that I interact with, it doesn't surprise me that NZ gets the better score in that one.

So last year I was unemployed for about eight months. I applied for a crapload of jobs in the latter stages of those eight months and apart from the job that I got, I hardly got any other replies.

Then last week I received three emails from companies (two of them computer businesses) offering me jobs.

Yea, thanks a lot jerks - offer me jobs at the stage when I am finally settled in at my current job.

What if I don't click the link to make a point which I don't exactly know what is?

[Bounty Hunter]

When I was a baby my parents trained me to make a piggy face when they said "piggy piggy" I think this was my father getting bored of parenthood and going through the pavlov stage.

[Aloysius]

Lmao, what a dick. I'd probably attempt something similar tbh.

[Emrico1]

Wow, shortest ever deadline asked by a client. Recieved an email sent at 9:13am requiring work done before 10am.
47 minutes. Good job. Naturally I met the deadline because I am awesome and not currently surfing. But come (the fuck) on, people.

[Retardobot]

Not my immediate boss (because she's awesome) but one of the more higher up bosses has recognized we are a little bit slower than normal so is telling clients willy nilly that they can request work with a 24hr turn around.

Doesn't matter if we're quiet, we still have turn out the work within 24hrs...WTF.

[Emrico1]

I can turn work around in 47 minutes... Geez, slackers.

No but seriously, what a douche.

Inb4 'I sent this on Friday, it's now Saturday and I need it'.

[Spork]

Sucks to be you guys.

I just called in sick. Time to hit up Chernarus.

[Retardobot]

Sad face.

Playtech no findy fault with my video card...

[Emrico1]

[Retardobot]

I'll try a last ditch attempt by re-installing Windows however I don't think it'll do anything. I've refreshed drivers multiple times.

I've had the issue for months, and inside those months I've had my PSU replaced and the problem has still persisted, I've had my mobo tested and the problem still persists. Every time it crashes, my video card drivers drop out and reload according to event viewer so the problem appears to be with my card.

[Spork]

Sad face.

Playtech no findy fault with my video card...

 
That's pretty shit. It seems to be pretty damn difficult to test to see if something is actually faulty, but you would think it would be in their best interests to replace the card either way.

Oh wait, that would involve proper customer service.

[Apostrophe Spacemonkey]

Playtech are just down the road from where I work. Would it help if I leave a flaming bag of poop on their doorstep?

[Retardobot]

Hah, nah. They're being good, they're doing what they can.

If they're unable to replace it or find a fault then that's life. I'll just have to live with constant crashing and lock-ups.

[Spork]

What card is it?

EDIT: How many people on this forum have more than 20k posts?

[Retardobot]

AMD 6950 2GB.

1 year into it's 3 year warranty.

Accidentally drop it in a bucket of water, then return it

You have made 2.7 posts every single day of your life, since you were born.

You will make another 60,000 posts before you die.

[Retardobot]

Playtech have always been pretty decent with orders I've made in the past.

I'm not going to cheat them out of a replaced card.

FOR SHAME XENO!

I'm exhausted and mentally drained, I should really be giving more fucks...

[Xenolightning]

Drop in a bucket of water, send to manufacturer.

[Speakman]
