Xeon IS........Back! The man!

[Xeon]

No no......really! Please! Stop snatching and clawing at each other just because of my collectibles and posters, k? Yes, yes. Be good, and line up! Everyone can get my free posters(really cool poses of Xeon) as well as free Xeon t-shirts and more! Whoa! :D

Now, where have I been all these centuries? Hmmm.......before I continue, allow my to tell a story called Rip Van Winkle. This story originates from either England or one of the European countries, if I'm not wrong.

Once upon a time, there was a kind young man who loves to play with children and such. One day, this man went hunting in the Catskill mountains and halfway, he heard the sound of thunder rolling beyond the hills. Then, suddendly, he saw a really short old man with a long beard carrying a barrel. He offered to carry this heavy barrel for the old man, and the old man thanked him by inviting him for a drink with his other old friends on the other part of the hill.

As this young guy saw, the sound of thunder he heard just now was caused by the old men playing a game of rolling large metal balls and knocking down skittles. The old men keep offering him wine and such, and gallons after gallons he drank.......and he fell asleep......

When he woke up, he felt strange and feeble. He felt weak and aching all over. He discovered he has wrinkles all over his body and he was very very very old! His hunting rifle was totally rusted, and the enviroment around him has changed dramatically too.

After finding his way back to his hometown with much difficulty for he was both weak now and could not remember the way as the entire town has changed so much, he realised that it has been generations since he left for the Catskill mountains.

Aye.

In my case, it wasn't that unfortunate, though.
U see, about 1.5 weeks ago, I think.......it was afternoon and I just had a quick shower and was about to view some dirty web sites on my computer. I turned on the PC, but nothing appeared! The monitor was ok, but black out and the LED light turned orange!
After days of speculation as well as calling my friend in(he made a mess outta everything and even wanna format away my hard disk and even changed the bios chip and he even wanted tio change my graphics card and such), the problem appears to be in the motherboard. But because the company of my computer is Acer and they have specific and propriety parts(meaning that you MUST and CAN ONLY purchase their own parts, cos' 3rd-party parts can't fit into the casing and such), I finally got a new computer with Intel Pentium 4 Xeon!......errr......no.......I finally got a new computer with Intel Pentium 4 2.0 GHz and 512 MB of SDRAM and such. My old computer had an Intel Pentium 2 300 Mhz and 32 MB of generic RAM. The difference is darn great, eh??!!

Anyway, with this new computer, I can easily take down any chess master and I dare bet my manhood that I can even launch a rocket and prevent nuclear strikes from any country with this new behemoth. I was wondering if George War Bush is interested in purchasing this computer from me??!!!

The truth is : I'm able to write a complete version of Longhorn before Microsoft with this kinda monster. :D

Ok, ok, seriously, all those above are too extreme.(XTreme)
Even at 2.0 GHz and 512 MB of SDRAM, it doesn't appear to be at all blazing. I mean, I expected a computer of this configuration to be real fast and I don't have to wait for anything at all! :eek:

Anyway, special thanks to Gabriel Fleseriu for sending a private message to me and asking me where I've been.
Please no.......Gabriel.....u're making me cry! He|| no......:D

Now, I can finally code in C++ again, and see you folks! :cool:

The man is the man! :D:):D

Good to have you back, Xeon.

The database had its rest while you were away with your 2-page posts, but as you come back, it prepares to take the heavy load again. Say HELO to database again ;)



:D

Hi there Amn! That's the bad part about coming back! U see, every month, Internet.com actually send me the bills and I have to pay half the electricity costs consumed by the servers! This is atrocious! And when I brought this matter up to the police, they keep beating my head and tell me to eat chicken chop. Drats! :D:D

Anyway, Amn......I notice u've started to get active here again. The first time u joined this forum, u were pretty active. And a couple of months after that, u disappeared and now, it seems you're revived. Really to take on the universe!!!! :eek::eek::eek::D

[Xeon]

No no.....John E! There's no points here whatsoever.
It is just that the nature of this story is somewhat similar to my sudden disappearance. :)

In the story, a guy vanishes suddendly and come back to his hometown centuries later.
In my case, Xeon vanishes suddendly and come back to Codeguru about 2 weeks later.

That's the analogy, pal. :cool::cool::cool::cool:

[John E]

Okay Xeon - I see it now....

You managed to become an old man in only 2 weeks? That's a shame :(

I've seen such things on the X Files but how are you gonna get any gurls now? :confused:

You could try Botox if you're worried about your wrinkles! :D :D

Nah John! Actually, what I really meant was that the similarity between me and Rip Van Winkle is that we both suddendly disappeared and came back later, not about how old we're when we came back whatsoever. :):):D:D

And no.....I'm not really worried about wrinkles. If I have wrinkles, I will still be able to get gurls, just that more effort and maybe more money is needed. But if my "processor"(hint : NOT my brain, but errr.....if you're a real man who love gurls, u know what I mean ;)) is gone, I reallu should start to worry. :D:D
