<ion> thanks, my dad brought me a new case home from his work today
<ion> ok, it's not a new case, it's my old one...i didnt like the gray metal frame so i wanted to change the color
<plague> What color?
<ion> gold. i was going to spray paint it, but it would have ended up melting. so my dad said he'd take it to work
<ion> he works at this metal coating place
<ion> just brought it home today. looks awesome
<plague> So you have a gold plated tower?
<ion> no it's not gold...something else...let me go ask
<ion> copper. it's copper
<plague> Copper plated?? Is it running right now?

<Ich> I have passed the transitional stage of internet geekhood
<Ich> I was cashiering at work today, and was punching in the code for plums, which is 4040.
<Ich> and the 0 key doesn't work this well, so I punched it in wrong.
<Ich> and the machine flashed up "Item Not Found: 404"
<Ich> and I actually laughed out loud

<erno> hm. I've lost a machine.. literally _lost_. it responds to ping, it works completely, I just can't figure out where in my apartment it is.

:D

i think the more you laugh at those the higher your geekiness goes
makes good spam emails though lol

I saw them all on www.bash.org and www.bash.cx before (excellent quote sites).

The top one seems to be a lot of bullpoop though - sounds very fake to me. Yes, copper is conductive, but that shouldn't matter. There aren't any conductors touching the case, and in fact most cases aren't isolated internally. Knocking the power out in the whole house would imply there was a short on the mains/AC line, which only goes into the PSU (where it is regulated to lower voltages), and does not touch the case.

I just realised I used my geekiness to spoil an otherwise funny quote :-/
