Nah we don't do that: to wit; "you're email system is sending me the same messages, is it broken?"

Happily I wasn't involved with that one. All the other users have been good today :)

Okay, this is one gets an award and it's from the Dutch Ubuntu forum.

Question: I don't get a live/X-session while running AntiX Core? It's just a CLI-installer or terminal.
Stupid as I am I recommend the full iso or the MX-15.
I should have told him that I can't run my GW-Basic program (created with nano) either :S

Fuck you lady. Two people out of hundreds of people happily emailing. Do you complain if you are riding a 50cc moped down a motorway?
Just had to get that out there.

hahaha, i love that, "the issue with the syncing/whatever". And this: "This really is an urgent issue for me at this stage" - there are so many non-necessary words in there.
this message just translates:
Please fix this.
I don't give a fuck about what you have to say about it.
Just fix it yesterday.

It translates to BBQ-speak like this:
some bitch wrote: Bitch please.
Bitch bitch bitch, bitch.
Bitch bitch.

Haha, thanks guys :)
The next guy on shift had my back :) he posted, through the translator :
support dude wrote:Wux, who is noticeable by his absence and by not responding, because he already told you all that he found on google about this shit.
To be honest go fuck yourselves, this is a gay outlook issue, if outlook is here to stay, then fuck you your issue will remain
on a sidenote, the server is running like a dream and serving a LOT of emails - look like it's just you dipshits which have fucked something up.
If something dies on the server we scramble like it's WW2 and fix it, that's all we get paid for, not some 4th party 3rd line tech support on unknown hardware.
get someone to go locally and fix it, because guess what? We don't give a shit.
BTW thanks for posting Theo, this had slightly turned into my personal rant thread :)

Other than that, it's nice to have somebody watch your six.

one of my favourite hobbies when working in the service industry was to write emails to clients that sounds very formal but if you really read them it basically says "fuck off".

Hang on, this might be my personal rant thread after all...
fucking trendy mac developers wrote:We currently have a ready website that is 5 days late due to issues with
the hosting.

In order to run the website we need an environment that supports Wordpress
and as per Wordpress specs, that means:
PHP version 5.6 or greater
MySQL version 5.6 or greater
(https://wordpress.org/about/requirements/)


As much as older versions of Wordpress core will continue to work with your
environment, we as a company deliver websites that utilise modern
techniques and are designed to work with what we normally would perceive an
industry standard.

With your decline to upgrade mySQL on the server that the LDA account is
hosted on, could you please consider migrating the account to a server that
has required environment?
Why don't you run the whole fucking thing on your macbook air, wiping the latte out of your trimmed fashion beard, sitting in a brixton wank bar you cunts?
There is also the industry standard of designing FOR your platform, you shiny motherfuckers.


oh I feel better now...
And my boss just basically said the same thing, if you want control, then you buy a VM :)
