  1. Re:Somewhere Yngwie Malmsteen laments... on Robert Fripp to Compose Vista's Soundtrack · · Score: 1

    Unobligatory:

    A guitarist dies and is quite pleased to find that he ends up standing before the pearly gates of Guitar Heaven. St. Peter shows him in, and gives him a guided tour.

    "This is Stevie Ray's room here..." says Peter, and the guitarist is saying "Wow! Stevie Ray!" "And this is Jimi's room..." and the guitarist is totally over the moon.

    Finally Peter shows the guitarist to his own room. Before Peter leaves, he says to him, "I have to ask. Is Yngwie here?" Peter shakes his head sadly and says "I'm afraid he went... the "other" way..."

    The guitarist is disappointed but goes to his room and tries to get some sleep. He is woken up in the middle of the night by someone playing a really fast harmonic minor lick - and it sounds just like Yngwie. He presses his ear to the wall, and listens more closely. Someone in the next room is playing really fast neo-classical shreds through what sounds very much like a vintage Strat. The guitarist is confused as it sounds so much like Yngwie. The next day he tells Peter that he is almost certain that Yngwie's in the next room.

    Peter pulls him to one side, and whispers into his ear, "Shhh.... don't tell anyone. That's God. He thinks he's Yngwie Malmsteen"

    What to think? 70% of moderators have either:
        - Not read uncyclopedia and didn't get the joke.
        - Read uncyclopedia and vandali[sz]ed or blanked articles.
        - No sense of humor when they get to be the subject of the joke.

    This article is a pile of carp. The moderators may also have been smoking crack. You can help slashdot by smashing it into shape.

    As long as terms and limits of service aren't established and understood by both parties...

  14. Sure thing... on Get Out of Voice Menu Pergatory · · Score: 4, Insightful

    First, PHBs will always consider tech support an expense. so they will easily cheap out and exploit the most out of the least IT monkeys. Been there :)

    Voice menu cuts expenses. In addition, tech monkeys will probably not have to guide step by step the granny that doesn't know how to configure her outlook.

    Now there are customers that will happily hang you on line for hours just so their problem be solved quickly; don't even think of telling the customer that the problem is somewhere else.

    As long as terms and limits of service are established and understood by both parties, you'll get poor service and support jobs will always be underpaid.
