There's a delicious nuclear meltdown going on over at the HanLin eBook forum. Sorry, it's too early in the morning to figure out how to do the link, but look for:

"Disastrous firmware upgrade for many BeBook users: no excuses from BeBook!!!"

A classic line I think I'll steal and use as a signature is:

"I refuse to deal any further with people with an IQ inferior to mine."

That's got to be straight out of the TV comedy "Big Bang Theory".

Would be horrendously bad manners to post one of the popcorn eating faces in that thread?

I just did, right after Nate did. They keep talking aobut calling in a psychiatrist, so I thought I'd monitor the situation.

ShortNCuddlyAm · 12-09-2008, 04:29 PM

I'm eating popcorn and drinking tea (just so's not to look like a low-IQ copycat, y'understand

)

vivaldirules · 12-09-2008, 04:33 PM

Ouch. The guy's really pissed. I hate to see ranting like that. But it didn't stop me from reading through it all. And I chuckled out loud when I read this one:

"Thank you mister obvious! You must be a genius."

I would imagine it could be very therapeutic in the same way popping bubble wrap is

That thread reminds me of the retort quote (was it Oscar Wilde?): "Sir, I will not have a battle of wits with an unarmed man."

What would you have him do? Have him force feed them Zany Carter Patricias? I'm not sure that ZCPs have FDA approval (unless Marc has been bribing and blackmailing again).

Now had he come up with that quote, it might all have gone more swimmingly. Or entertainingly. I'm not sure which

NatCh · 12-09-2008, 05:02 PM

Not helping, folks.
