@dashcloud look at that...i learned something new today. and knowing if half the battle. i think the other half involves rapid machine gun fire or something.
@trimmYawn....yeah, I did it. I admit it. I have special dream powers that just happen. I don't even know it until I roll out of bed at sparrow fart and boot up the ol' PC. Like they say "spit happens". Yawn
@lisaviolet Congratulations! Your first full official day as goat and you've royally pissed off a bunch of people. I must say, you have some pretty big shoes to fill but at this rate they'll be erecting a statue in your honor in no time. Damn, you're good.
@Cinoclav waaaaay to complimentary toward @cengland0 and his disastrous term. @lisaviolet doesn't have any "big shoes" to fill as @cengland0 wears no shoes, is a hoofed split-toe-demon-like-satyr(only less cool)troll-goat
@floridarev1 Now now... they have some great peeps who have been pretty awesome at fixing things when they go terribly wrong. It's still a learning process, I can guarantee you at some point more shit will go even more terribly wrong.
@Cinoclav@floridarev1 They have to make do with the pentium one 12" laptop servers that @snapster stocked the place with ... you'd be surprised what floating-point math screws up
@cengland0 It hits the actual employees worse than the customers when you try to figure out the average Meh.com hourly wage (which is determined on the flawed pentium processors when dividing @snapster 's salary over @Dave 's salary to find the hourly wage:
@unixrab Only tangentially, but when Youtube was coded they assumed that no one video would ever be viewed more than a 32 bit signed integer's worth. Psy broke that just recently. Now they're scrambling to fix it.
@unixrab It is just like you to believe something without any evidence. You posted that meme on blind faith that Gates said that quote but there is no evidence of him actually saying it. Do you have a recording of it anywhere by chance? I didn't think so. By the way, Gates was asked the question very specifically about if he said that or not and he claims he never said it. https://groups.google.com/forum/#!msg/alt.folklore.computers/mpjS-h4jpD8/9DW_VQVLzpkJ
@cengland0 Infoworld 1990 is the citation: http://books.google.com/books?id=gzAEAAAAMBAJ&q=ought#v=snippet&q=ought&f=false blame them. The fact of the matter is that Bill Gates DID IMPLEMENT a 640K memory limit in the chip (up from 64) so... the fact that he DID DO THAT, plus the citation, plus his other quotes on the same subject and a printed citation from a major tech magazine is enough for me.
"I have to say that in 1981, making those decisions, I felt like I was providing enough freedom (again "enough ) for 10 years. That is, a move from 64 K to 640 K felt like something that would last a great deal of time. Well, it didn't - it took about only 6 years before people started to see that as a real problem." 1989 speech on the history of the microcomputer industry."
" I laid out memory so the bottom 640 K was general purpose RAM and the upper 384 I reserved for video and ROM, and things like that. That is why they talk about the 640 K limit. It is actually a limit, not of the software, in any way, shape, or form, it is the limit of the microprocessor. That thing generates addresses, 20-bits addresses, that only can address a megabyte of memory. And, therefore, all the applications are tied to that limit. It was ten times what we had before. But to my surprise, we ran out of that address base for applications within—oh five or six years people were complaining."~ Bill Gates Interview: Winner of the 1993 Price Waterhouse Leadership Award for Lifetime Achievement, Computerworld Smithsonian Awards.

@unixrab So where did he say that again? Nowhere. You made assumptions that he did without doing your due diligence to research it first. Also, just out of curiosity, I wasn't aware that Bill Gates created chips so how did he put that limit in the chip? It was my understanding that his operating system was based on chips manufactured by Intel initially.
Hey there folks, we had a bit of a hiccup on the site this morning. We sold out but the site didn't want to believe it and made it look like we still had some to sell. But we didn't. So we couldn't sell them anymore. Which led to this thread. Which led to me apologizing for our little hiccup and begging for your forgiveness. Which led to you saying _____.
@MEHcus Awwwww hell, yelling at you guys/gals would be like trying to yell at a cute little puppy that just pee'd on the floor. You give us those big sad eyes and we turn all mushy. Then we end up rewarding you with a chewbone anyway.
@lisaviolet@thumperchick .........ahem...what I was trying to illustrate was the ....well... sophomoric attempt at a zing by poor ole' @cengland0 ... maybe this would be better:
" wow man what a zing ... you zinged me with your zinggedy zing zinger.. :" (hopefully that's dumbed down enough ... ohp.. wai....
At 2:45 am, it took me three attempts to get an order accepted -- "something went terribly wrong" twice -- by then, the best colors were already sold out ! ! The BarneyPurple and Georgia Red ! !
@Barney I can't even begin to tell you how pleased I am that you're taking the time to go back through all these threads just to mark your spot. Welcome home.
breaking news... demand for $3 Travel Mug takes down Meh servers
@johnlthompsoniv Can't wait for the next FUKU then - clearly the server issues from the last one aren't solved yet.
Here either...It'll pop up to buy, but not let me select which one I want. :: sadface ::
Cant order either
+1
I'm going to assume that the lack of flasks in this thread means this is a critical emergency in meh HQ, and that they're all running around like mad.
@ram434 Office hours are, I believe, 8-5 Central. They are probably just pulling up and putting out the server fires now
@ram434
@MEHcus Yowser!
I want to buy something, anything, button no workie. If you are out of these mugs can I purchase a speaker dock?
@nutbucket What the hell does this look like... Friday?
Ditto. Fix the @#%@# site.
I'm assuming that they're sold out but that the Buy It button hasn't turned off. But you know what they say when you assume... (They say I'm usually freaking right.)
Yeah, I keep trying but am shut out. WTF!
@dis_member why would an elf be paying in rupees?
@carl669 He's dressed up in Link's usual garb from Legend of Zelda- Rupees are the currency there
@dashcloud look at that...i learned something new today. and knowing if half the battle. i think the other half involves rapid machine gun fire or something.
I say take my money!!
It's all @LisaViolet 's fault

@Cinoclav .
Yes, I am. I most certainly am

@unixrab Ha, ha, you are so funny -- not!
.....and uses 1990's comebacks... I always forget that one. ... ...
@cenglan0
@unixrab Uh, let's just say the shoes belong to @Thumperchick, @studerc, @marklog, and @Ryaneil
@Cinoclav ahhhhh... THOSE shoes. mmkay.
All I get is "Opps, Something went terribly wrong!"
I'll tell you what went wrong -- you hired an idiot to do your I.T.
@floridarev1 Now now... they have some great peeps who have been pretty awesome at fixing things when they go terribly wrong. It's still a learning process, I can guarantee you at some point more shit will go even more terribly wrong.
@floridarev1 Did they really spell "oops" wrong?

@dave Pesos... BRILLIANT! money goes a lot further down there!

wont let me re-order mugs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I want my mug before its sold out!
I want to be able to give people I marginally care about mediocre Christmas gifts, too!
"gimme the mugs gimme the mugs, i'm a sad man"
I like to have mugs that I can leave on the work room and won't care when someone steals it.
@floridarev1 I have those! I call them styrofoam cups.
All that's left are the blue flowery ones :(
I love purple.
I have been trying to order since 630 am eastern standard time!! first I didn't know how to select my style, now I cant order anything....
I also was unable to purchase and now they are sold out.
Hey there folks, we had a bit of a hiccup on the site this morning. We sold out but the site didn't want to believe it and made it look like we still had some to sell. But we didn't. So we couldn't sell them anymore. Which led to this thread. Which led to me apologizing for our little hiccup and begging for your forgiveness. Which led to you saying _____.
@MEHcus That we still loves you.
@MEHcus I saw the order count go up after a while and was able to order one. Must have been just before they got marked sold out.
@MEHcus Awwwww hell, yelling at you guys/gals would be like trying to yell at a cute little puppy that just pee'd on the floor. You give us those big sad eyes and we turn all mushy. Then we end up rewarding you with a chewbone anyway.
@MEHcus Cheer up sucker!
@MEHcus Suck it up, Buttercup!
@MEHcus Apology accepted, but you call that begging? I expect genuflection at a minimum.
@MEHcus @&^#@(%&!^%@!^~~)!!!&@$!
@MEHcus ...meh
@MEHcus
@johnlthompsoniv OMG THAT BABY'S HAIR
I am disappointed, I have been trying to buy for almost 3 hours and kept getting an error. Now they are sold out.
Very frustrating!!!!
@DBowman They were already sold out, the site was just confused about it.
@PurplePawprints @DBowman I think the scapegoat should forfeit her mugs and give one to @DBowman @lisaviolet
@unixrab I didn't buy any mugs. I don't have any place to store them. I'm a goat.
@unixrab We wouldn't want your ugly mug. Ha, see what I did there?
@lisaviolet a likely story selfish no-thumb-havin' cup-hoarding goat
@cengland0
@unixrab Calling your own zing is like high fiving yourself, or liking your own fb status. (Or starring your own posts!)

@Cinoclav but it's really hurting the inbox zero thing I had going with this forum.
