Hello, World.

[iamchris]

Hello, World.

I'm Chris, I'm 14, I'm a "Barista" at a local coffee place and I develop OS kernels in my spare time - Interesting, huh? :-)

In all seriousness now, I've been drifting since MWSF '02 and decided to join, seems like a nice community of users. I've got quite a bit of Mac experience (hardware related, mostly) and just thought I'd drop a message to say hello.

Cya 'round,

Chris

[King Cobra]

I'm taking a break off my job of burning newbies for a while...

Welcome to the forums. Now, what is your name again? :)

I can't imagine what a Barista is, but you better get paid a lot of "dinero". :D

Glad to see a lurker come out from the basement! You came out just in time, as the boards are probably going to crowd up for the upcoming expo, so you should have plenty of things to talk about. Yes, this is a great community, except for a few people. If you see anyone kissing Gates' ash on how much someone likes their peecee and bashes the Mac world beat him up for me if I'm not around. :D

Once again, welcome. :cool:

[vitruvius]

Welcome dude!
once u enter this site u cant go out again mwhahahaaa!
:p

[SilvorX]

welcome to macrumors chris :D
i see your a fellow Canadian :D :D
which part of the good ol great white north u from?
not that many 14 y/os develop os kernals in their free time lol *cough smartie cough*

[iamchris]

I'll be sure to bash MS lovers - I feel the same hate for their vast gluttony of software distribution. A Barista is the person who makes the coffee. I make a killer Espresso Machiatto.

I hail from St. Albert, Alberta. And yes, it sure is the great white north.

I'm not that smart, actually - I just know a bunch of languages, that's all. Darwin isn't that complex.

[eyelikeart]

very nice to see another lurker join in on the fun...

so do u work for Starbuck's by chance? ;)

[iamchris]

Maybe, someday - I'd like to, that'd be fun. Why? Do you - lucky.

Right now I've got a place at a local shop downtown, I quite like it there, good atmosphere.

[FelixDerKater]

Welcome to the forums. Hey... Haven't other people gotten flamed to a crisp for creating a thread to say they joined? :rolleyes: :cool: :rolleyes:

Hey, SilvorX, you've had your fair share as much as anyone.

I'm glad to see half-burnt victims telling the truth! :D

>(fyterdog)also...watch out for king cobra...he will beat the living shiznit out of you in breakout!!!
as supposed to anyone else, I guess...

>but you could always pour 40 shots of espresso down his throat with a funnel and laugh after the effects kick in.
Hey, fyter. Take an iChill and a blue pepsi.

[eyelikeart]

oh wow....speaking of Alpha...just wait till he gets a gander at this... :rolleyes:

[crassusad44]

Enjoy your stay, it's hard to stay off these forums once you've joined... :)

BTW. A couple of years ago I and some friends started a coffie shop for teenagers. Making goood coffice is fun (and tasty :) )

[King Cobra]

Hey, eye!

If you don't like pepsi blue then try one of these varieties: :D

[spuncan]

um whats w/ the pepsi blue stuff is that some new inferior to coke product that I missed? Anyways welcome Chris. Hey at least u have an actual job I just caddy at the local C.C. Yeah sometime newbs do get on a few peoples nerves he but thats just mainly because of mindless stupidity and repition of dumb rumors like dare I say iWalk or X for X86. So just steer clear of those posts and u should be fine. (Ah now I sound like some dumbass guidance counsaler ahh)
And King Cobra it's not like ur such a senior member that u should pick on the newb newbs.

[King Cobra]

>um whats w/ the pepsi blue stuff is that some new inferior to coke product that I missed?
Haven't you heard? It's the latest craze! Check it out! (http://www.spudart.org/pepsiblue/)

>And King Cobra it's not like ur such a senior member that u should pick on the newb newbs.
What do you mean by "senior"? If you are referring to post count then you are surely mistaken. And I don't mean to call you Surly :D but you have quite a few less posts than I do, and I have 4 digits. But it doesn't matter how many posts I have, newbies with BS posts will be fired at on the spot, plain and simple.

Instances: (S)Hitormiss, gocyrus, (S)Thinkpads... got me? I don't tend to flame after those who want to get the feel of the forums, since that would be way too cruel. I am most interested in Mac bashers and those with incorrect info.

i think it's less that you do it and more that you constantly talk about it and get tough about it. it's not like you have only the most clever things to say and never have dumb/pointless posts, most people do...

anyhoo, welcome chris. why is it that you strive for starbuck's as a goal of some sort? that place is nasty.... small time coffee shops are so rare these days that you're lucky to have a good one..

and spuncan.... caddying can certainly be profitable.... my friend's brother does that pretty much as a full time job. not to say it's as good as a "real" job, but it's a much better part time, young job than most.... do you golf also?

[3rdpath]

welcome chris

and disregard all the post count/newbie verbage...its not like the status is earned...kinda like those college courses where you get an "a" just for showing up every day...

besides, everyones in a bit of a pissy mood because of the powermac rumors...

this place runs in cycles...all peace and love...then flamewars and carnage...

there's a lot of good fun and info that flys around here

enjoy.

Welcome to the forums. Now, what is your name again? :)



Every time some one new appear in the forums I remember King Cobra's first thread, the most arrogant, egocentric humbleless introduction I have ever seen!!! I think that even Stve Jobs would feel overwelmed.:p

[King Cobra]

Hey, mymemory, this has been discussed. Nobody really liked it, and I hated it. So don't bring it back up again.

>i think it's less that you do it and more that you constantly talk about it and get tough about it. it's not like you have only the most clever things to say and never have dumb/pointless posts, most people do...
Have you seen the alien thread? That was some fun bullsh!!ting fyter and I got on. But, I'm saying, if and when the right opportunity comes, it's doomsday, kid. And if you think I'm acting tough, get over it. I can be comical, arrogant, whatever. But all I am trying to do is get involved.

3rdpath, are you in that type of mood?

[krossfyter]

just enjoy the boards.... wither it be *********, funsh*t, sicksh*t, seriousshi*t....or whatever typeofsh*t you are into.

[job]

You forgot Macsh*t. :D

that thread was too long to read it all.

bsing with kross is different than acting tough and making new people feel like they don't belong, whether they are just dumb or happen to have wrong info (not always their fault) or whatever.

"kid"? ha.


mac**** is right... lately it's been a bit of a drag though, what with the bad news about powermacs and whatnot.

I'm gonna Pie all these fools to death....


Somewhere in orbit a 30 Meter Blackberry pie clicks loose of it's moorings and begins hurtling toward this thread. As the roar of an incoming ODP grows outside, the occupants continue their mindles prattling.

With a tremendous THUD a whole sad-ass group of posers is buried in steaming blackberry goo.

A psychotic Clown hops atop the rubble and begins madly playing a jig on neon- plaid bagpipes.

Welcome to the Circus kid.

neon plaid???

i hope you really have such a thing....


i want to wear a neon green tux for my wedding. not sure it'll fly.... assumign i get married. ha

[King Cobra]

Go neon plad! :D

Jello, the part of my post of "it's doomsday, kid" is taken from a Korn vs. Limp Bizkit audio file.

Speaking of this being the circus, I wonder if fyter is bringing the pink elephants! :eek: :D

Let me guess : "All in the family." :)

[King Cobra]

Thats right. It was All In The Family. I'm interested in works by multiple artists, and knowing Korn to be one of the top best sellers, I thought I might listen to this file. I know a lot of the lines. It's a bit twisted, but my taste nonetheless.

ahh word. yuck

no wonder i hadn't heard it. 2 of the worst bands out there...

it's a song or just some sort of funny sound file?

[King Cobra]

Right at the time of the Untouchables CD (by Korn) they hit number 2 on the charts, with Eminem at #1. If you can't handle the extreme that's fine. But Korn works fine for me. I'm not too fond of Bizkit, though.

>it's a song or just some sort of funny sound file?
It's neither. It's basically these two bands saying that they are better than the other, or somethin', I have no idea, but the language is right up my alley. It really isn't pretty.

who cares where they are on the charts? most people use pcs, should i? korn and limp bizkit are both garbage. i like hard music. but good stuff. not them.

you listen to them for the cursing? hmm... that's interesting.

some of the old rap groups used to have talking tracks trash talking. it was funny indeed.

[King Cobra]

>who cares where they are on the charts? most people use pcs, should i?
Would you elaborate on what that whole thing means?

>you listen to them for the cursing?
That only depends on what mood I'm in. I only like Korn because of their music. In fact, I'm in to censoring their music, and profane music from other bands. I said a while ago I like Disturbed, but that's because of their music, NOT their language. Linkin Park is probably one of the better non-profane extreme bands out there. I look forward towards their remix album for their music, again.

For some reason I don't find the trash talking so funny. But when I'm in the mood I'll listen to it.

That quote was me gathering the remnants of mischiefs pie mixing it with grass and mud and re-hurling it at all ya'll, recycle. And speaking of quotes can someone pleeease give KC a lesson its hard enough understanding his jibberish without having to desipher which are his words, he's been doing too much PHP...

By the way welcome Chris. "World" might not be the best way to describe this place many here are far from it, Especially the high posters;)

[job]

Korn is fine. Just don't listen to it for too long. :D

Untouchables is a great LP.

[King Cobra]

>(ponyboy)And speaking of quotes can someone pleeease give KC a lesson its hard enough understanding his jibberish without having to desipher which are his words,
If you can't understand it maybe I should try speaking in Spanish or Sign Language (I know only one sign...)

>he's been doing too much PHP...
How would you know? Have you been on PHP? It takes one to know one, so shut up. I'm sure that's clear enough.

I do speak Spanish also Italian and English and I know that same sign you do in all three languages it looks pretty much the same, with slight variations in angle and emphisis depending on the situation.

"Takes one to know one"? "Shut up"? Your kidding right? I havent heard anyone say those things since High Sch...... oh sorry. (See fine print)










PHP was a joke, just breaking your balls still for the other thread, you know sniffing dogs, kid kicked out of school, chill out a little.

[King Cobra]

Easy, ponyboy. I get the picture.

You and Eliot sure seem to be on a roll. Why don't you guys cool off with a blue pepsi? :D

[ponyboy]

Is it caffine free cause it is 4 am in Italy and I need to get some sleep. If so i'll take 2 thanks. Peace KC

[King Cobra]

You can find out about the latest crave here (http://www.spudart.org/pepsiblue/).

I suggest you take one pepsi blue and a special pepsi green. :D

[Eliot]

I'm cool, don't know what the fuss is all about.
I just want to hug (Milla Jovovich).*
Snakes alive!

*(Tho' for youknowwho's sake don't tell my wife)

[King Cobra]

She's not too bad. I'm more into musician females, such as Gwen Stefani.

[Eliot]

Speaking as an ultra-muso here, I guess you've never heard Milla's album "The Divine Comedy."
But Gwen rocks too..............as we used to say, I wouldn't climb over her to get to you!

[King Cobra]

I guess I'm not a big fan of Milla's music, since I hardly listen to those types of tunes.

>I wouldn't climb over her to get to you!
Easy, tiger. Climb probably isn't the most "appropriate" word in this situation... :eek: :D

[Eliot]

Slither?

The phrase is a London, UK one meaning "I'm not about to carry on climbing, once I'm on top of her/him/it, to get to you..(you being presumed to be a less desireable target than where I already am).
Obscure?....I should cocoa! This is a bit like hard work.
If you could get him to be civil when I'm around, you might get Britboy to explain it better.;) :)
