There is no such thing.

It's Intel EFI.

Also available for fancy PCs.


Anyway, it wouldn't stop crashes - you'd just have to call them car panics or car becoming suddenly immobile.
it was a joke, bert... do techies 'do' those?

playing on the stereotype of apple-fanboyism ("no crashes, windows is buggy!") and playing-on the word 'crash'

i can't believe ive gotta explain that ...

@FM: dont ask the phone-conductor what they're wearing...
So you're not familiar with the Apple way of describing crashes as "becoming suddenly unresponsive" or "kernel panicking"?

A job? Just a bunch of why do you think you would be a good employee stuffz.
And try not to come off as a douche, like you do on here. Employers don't like douches.
But I already have a list of ways to insult their intelligence.

Ugh I hate talking about myself. I would rather do something like a trial period.

Name a situation in which you had to deal with an irate customer. How did you handle it and what were the results?


.. er something along those line. Might not be handle a customer, may be a time-line.. Whatever applies to the position. They are formalities. Just don't say anything completely stupid..lol. They are just making sure you aren't a nutter.

What a bit of luck / error

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/middle … 644937.stm

The attacker, believed to be wearing an explosives belt, was said to have thrown himself at the convoy, but was too slow to hit his intended targets
Did he fail to detinate before getting hit?

or

Did he detinate it further back in the convoy or even missing it at all?

Name a situation in which you had to deal with an irate customer. How did you handle it and what were the results?
I was doing OK at it, my Nephew had melted this top box (the thing on top of a driver instructors car) he was supposed to heat it up a little to remove the lettering.  So I could replace it with new lettering.

We bought the fella a new one and he saw the funny side in it.  His Dad turned up to pick it up and was suprised when I told him it was £38.50 + vat.  He thought he shouldnt have to pay for the sign work he originally ordered.  We bought him a brand new box.  Rightly so.  It was when he said 'Your Grandfather would never of treated me like this', that two of us threw him out the door; almost.  He walked out saying 'You wont find me coming back again' - 'Too fucking right you old cunt ya not welcome'; I replied.

His Son was ok with our error and gave his Dad a cheque to pay us, the old cunt was trying to do his Son a favour.

People (including me at times) think just cos Im buying something off them I can kick off if I got a reason.  The slightest thing and 'wooooosh' off they go.  With my trade as I was going through my 20's customers would be shocked when I told them 'Im going to sign write ya van mate'.  I got asked 4 times I think 'are you sure you can do it'.  Having people looking over my shoulders as I work is nothing.  Ive learned to say 'you dont pay for the bubbles so dont moan, they are free', when Joe the builder moans about something on his 150k mileage Transit van/rust bucket.

Another one - 'You've spelt that wrong mate, snigger snigger'

'Yeah, w/e, ha fucking ha, your a funny one arn't you'.

Well I have a few times and had to apologise sharpish.

My lesson was learned at Mac'd one day, Jungle Book had a promotion on there, and I wanted the mo fo Jungle Burger.  It was like a fucking Mc Chicken or w/e its called, but had Jungle Relish.  Me n Sis went through drive through, into asda's and parked facing the drive through, just the other side of the kerb, rght between the two windows.  I open my brown bag and 'OMFG!!!!!, the wankers, they've given me a fricking Mc Chicken sandwhich.

Before my Sisters gets a chance to stop me, Im out the car marching like Hitler.  I walk in between the cars 'sorry mate, just a second' and put my arm out like a copper directing traffic.  My Sister is sat there opened mouthed thinking 'fucks he up to now', and I butt in on the convo between the guy in the car and the woman.

From out of nowehere I pop out ' Sorry mate' to the fella in the car.

'Scuse me love, what the flipping heck do you bloody call this, Jungle Burger I wanted, bloody Jungle Burger, not ya poxy normal Chicken Sandwhich, if I wanted that I would of .... etc etc rant rant etc '

'Sir have you checked inside the box, we have run out of Jungle Box's'

Gulp.

Oh fuck, shown as fuck.  I had the jungle burger.  I didnt march back to the van, head down, tail up my ass, my Sister was crying in the car, Id never felt so fucking silly.

Ive got ratty twice since and been shown up then aswell.

Its just not worth it.
