The Mother of all BIOS Guides

Joey Braff writes "Many of you have probably heard of the famous BOG - BIOS Optimization Guide. For those who have not, make sure you take a look at this mega-guide with more than 300 BIOS settings and they just added 10 more! If you doubt its authenticity, note that its author is a doctor and the guide is also available as a book."

    Oh, of course. How silly of me to doubt a doctor would be the perfect person to outline all of our BIOS settings. For a minute there I was thinking a engineer would be a better choice.

      A doctor has studied biology (from the greek word "Bios" = life ) so he should know something about life settings.

    This is getting irritating to say the least. Would all you "mothers" please just go home? Did I wander up to you and ask "Are you my mother?"

    Next you'll have machines called "The mother of all computers" released.

    Bleh!!!

  3. Piled Higher and Deeper by tepples · · Score: 4, Funny

    I've never met someone with a Ph.D who was pretty much a complete dumbass in many respects.

    It would seem to fit in with the old saying:

    • B.S. == bullshit
    • M.S. == more shit
    • Ph.D. == piled higher and deeper

    Doctor Evil alsa had a medical degree but the medication he sold me over the interweb DIDN'T HELP ME GROW MY PENIS!
    He is a great big phony and if that telephone number he told I could reach him at weren't the number to the "abused village idiots and pie obsessed people" helpline I would have flailed my arms at him in a fasion showing him that had I the physical strenght to hurt my I would given it considerable thought! Even despite that sharks with the freak'n lazer beams attached to their heads!

    Could it be this doctor?

    While he may be a bios expert and a sweet man, don't you ever tell us where you found him. Ever.

    Not even if it was Google.

  8. A doctor? It's Monty Python time. by noims · · Score: 4, Funny

    The last line reminds me of a wonderful under-known Python sketch from Mr. Pither's cycling tour, set in a doctor's surgery.

    Doctor
    Morning.

    Pither
    Oh, a very good morning to you too, Doctor

    Doctor
    Ah, I understand you had an accident? [...] where were you hurt?

    Pither
    Oh, fortunately, I escaped without injury.

    Doctor
    Well what is the trouble?

    Pither
    Please, could you tell me the way to Iddesleigh?

    Doctor
    I'm a doctor, you know.

    Pither
    Oh yes, absolutely. Normally I would have asked a policeman or a minister of the Church, but finding no one available, I thought it better to consult a man with some professional qualifications, rather than rely on the possibly confused testimony of a passer-by.

    Doctor
    Oh alright.
    (he scribbles something on a piece of paper and hands it to Pither)
    Take this to a chemist.

    Pither
    Thank you.

    Cut to exterior of a chemist's shop. A chemist comes out holding the paper and points up the street. Pither thanks him and mounts his bike.
