Dumb and Dumber found at ... | |
Dumb and a Dumber ... http://www.techsupportforum.com On one internet & computer 'HELP' website that I came across, two self-declared Micro$oft MVP experts ('CHEVY' and 'JOHNWILL') have trouble answering an easy question (...easy if you actually know your stuff).
- They don't know what the file MSIMN.EXE is for (see below). The file MSIMN.EXE is the Email & news reader program (i.e. Outlook Express). One "Expert" (Chevy) calls the other "Expert" (Johnwill) a "wise ass" because, as Chevy boldly states, "MSIMN means MS Instant Messenger". It doesn't (it means "MicroSoft Internet Mail & News") - and that's why they have a spot here on this webpage. "Johnwill" didn't know enough to correct "Chevy". It took another person, "TCSCushing", almost a month later, to correct them. | |
M$ Expert Doesn't Know How To Use Wordpad | |
http://www.experts-exchange.com/Operating_Systems/Q_21676958.html Gal that goes by the username, vsg375 (link) doesn't know how to use find/replace all (actually just the REPLACE option) in WordPad. She thinks that you have to find each instance one at a time, and then replace them one at a time. (vsg? hmmm... Very Stupid Gal?) Hint: When you go to this site the first time, the actual answers are way at the bottom of the page. The top has the spaces for answers but they are greyed-out with a message that only "Premium" members can see the answers. But if it is your first visit to the site, scroll way down, past all the advertisement & junk in the middle. Once you get past that, you'll come to the actual answers. The site then puts a cookie on your computer, and if you refresh that page, or go to another page on the site, it will then block the real answers at the bottom: They are no longer visible. Easy fix is to delete the cookie and you can see another page's answers. Delete their cookie again and you can see another page, et cetera. | |
Stupid Educated People (or Educated Stupid People?) | |
Dogs Point Their Tails? According to a Medical Doctor, writing for the faux haute couture Citizendium (Wikipedia knockoff by and for snobs), dogs now point at prey with their tails. In the Citizendium article on Cat Breeds, Dr. Nancy Sculerati makes the never-before-heard claim that, "...traits specified in dog breeds include body shape, head shape, coat colors, hair textures, and even complex behaviors such as pointing the tail at hunting prey..."Hunters will be glad to know of this new remarkable development. Unfortunately as we all know, you can't teach an old dog new tricks. Hunters will have to trade in their old nose-pointing dogs for this new variety of tail-pointing dogs. ... more coming when I get back from my Procrastinator's Club meeting. | |
