  1. Re:We love the geek squad! on What Do Geek Squad Technicians Actually Do? · · Score: 1

    when i was on the geek squad, we put them in the trash compacter in the back, although sometimes a few parts might have ended up falling out on the way.... what can i say? It's a shame to let an extra stick of ram go to waste when you have an empty slot, or a perfectly good power supply...

    Actually, the quality of the geek squad in your area tends to depend on the quality of the manager doing the hiring. I worked for one once, and me, my roommate, and 2 of the other employees where hired by the old manager, who got promoted for knowing what she was doing, and instead of promoting from within, they hired an idiot from the sales floor to the job. Everyone hired by the new manager was completely worthless, and basically just handed anything off to one of us, or screwed it up completely. Eventually, everyone there who knew what they where doing moved on, but that's the natural course. Even in a job such as this, there are alwasy going to be very skilled kids coming up who just don't have work experiance that would look good on a resume, but still know everything they need to know, in almost any area. They would almost always rather be working and getting something on paper than fixing their uncle's computer for the 25th time. The question is whether your local chapter has someone who can spot those with an idea of what is going on.

    yes, it's very clear that noone could possibly have anything on you. It is after all, completely unreasonable to purchase anything that could be obtained freely. So I can safely assume that you regularly steal all your groceries, as well as any furniture and appliances you have? After all, it only takes a skimask and a van. Only losers worry about supporting the system that provides them with things that they need or like, allowing the creators of it to continue producing. Everything comes freely. If everyone would simply realize this, and simply take what they wanted, why, we could be part of a Mad Max type scenario in no time. You know what else? you're right! No one but a theta male (a classification that to my knowledge doesn't even exist, last i checked it was Alpha, Beta, Omega) would ever read slashdot, or think that points in an arguement should have any kind of basis in fact. Also, The alpha, Beta, Omega male theory assumes a pack, how you interact with a social group, and what your standing in it will be. It's fairly clear that you are in no way accepted by society, or any normaly functioning social group. Taking advantage of any percieved weakness in anyone all the time isn't strength, it's a complete and total lack of foresight. "He who hesitates is lost". When the right action presents itself, those with strength don't hesitate to take it, but mindlessly consuming and only living off of others is nothing but a sure way to end your career prematurely, and likely get knocked around in a backroom sometime. Also, as any woman can tell you (not that I think you could get one to talk to you without a knife) guys who walk around claiming how large there dicks are, are those who most likely are lacking in that department.
