Wanted, one word term for lazy and obnoxious OP.

Received a PM from a newbie (noobie, no posts as of yet) asking for help. Told him to post on appropriate forum. Got a reply asking for help with that. Told him if he could figure out how to PM someone, he could figure out how to post on the forums. Got another reply saying it was urgent. Replied back, how urgent could it be if you have to wait 12 hours before I can even help?

See you in then TitD!!

This really got me thinking. Instead of the beep/sound that windows makes when you make a mistake or do something fairly rediculuous. It should insult you. Windows is too nice, we need an OS that tells it like it is. This could be the basis for a whole new direction of software and OS design. Great idea! 😀

This brings back visual of the youtube video of the programmer slapping around his monitor. It will do wonders for the monitor market as long as there is a disclaimer in the warranty about not covering Windows insult reactionary malfunctions.

It's been done already - the teleprinters my father used in the RAF 40 years ago would return the acronym of "that was incorrectly typed" if you made a mistake.
