i need free stuff because....

my cd burner can't cope with all these cd protection schemes so i can't play the latest games which means i keep playing the same one over and over again nulling my mind and i will never get any work done for TWL

my gfx card can't cope with the latest games so they look crappy and i don't feel good when i complete them so i become depressed and will never get any work done for TWL

my ram (no jokes please) is small so games take ages to load and run crappily so they take ages to complete and i never get any work done for TWL

my monitor is small, and has a huge ass, so i don't have much space on my desk so i can't push the k/b any more so when i play games i don't feel comfortable and never win so become depressed and won't get any work done for TWL

my keyboard and mouse aren't radio/infrared so i can't play games in the comfort of my bed, so i have to get out of bed early, and i get really cold which means i get colds and the flu and will never get any work done for TWL

---

As you can see, by giving me free stuff, i will be able to fulfill my gaming addiction and then be able to get some work done for TWL! (irc guide, promoting and the quiz section)

I think they got us, they did an analysis of human reaction on the word "free" and they obviously had quite a good success. :lol: :teleport:

Raven 09-30-2002 09:08 AM

Hmmm at least it gave people something to post about, instead of getting work done for TWL... hehe (no offence meant Rogue)

Calhoun 09-30-2002 11:17 AM

I want to win too!!

EnigmaticPhoenix 09-30-2002 11:08 PM

Count me in!
 
Right, so here's my funny stuff -

What's the difference between a chick and a computer? A chick won't accept a 3.5 inch floppy.

Bad Computer Pick-up Lines

Are you SCSI or Parallel Port?
I thought you might want to know that I support multiple installations...
Can I overclock my frequency with you?

Sabzevarian 10-01-2002 12:41 AM

Hey

I am a university student who was introduced to this board by a friend. I am just a newbie here, but already seem to be fitting in.

I am not really in such a desperate shape as some of the posters here seem to be. I am just a engineering student without much cash left over to spend in my tech hobbies. My sister isn't in the hospital, and I don't live in a box, so I suppose I won't stand a chance of winning this. Even so, if I do win, I will use the prize to add some joy to the little time I have between classes.

Slammer 10-01-2002 09:51 AM


The only funny thing I can think of is how old my oscilloscope is!
Not really funny huh, oh well.

I guess I got everybody beat when it comes to being broke, I'm a fifteen year old collage student (yeah I can prove it) who started at fourteen. So i don't have time for much of a job(not that the gov will let me anyway).

every last cent goes to buying computer stuff and (considering the only regular income i've had was $15 a month for about 3 months) I don't have much.

I really could use the network switch for a project i need to do for collage.

oh well, at least I tried.

NOTE: I've never won ANYTHING before, this would be a first.


MIK3 10-01-2002 05:53 PM

Im in need for a burner for the sake of me never having one in the first place...and i cant lie...i have one...ive one a little led key chain and and Autoshow...yeah, i bet u can feel the excitement, and i dont believe that this is a scam to see who would all respond to the word "free" because i know that keefe and omega arent like this...

accurateimage 10-01-2002 05:54 PM

still waiting for any word :confused:

trend 10-01-2002 09:45 PM

need switch
 
Okay, my 8-port switch is WELL over-filled right now (has one dead port) I am resorting to my 10MB 10 and 11 port ATT StarLAN hubs. (super super super old hubs) One of these hubs turns on and off randomly, the other is so loud i can hear it from upstairs...


I AM IN NEED OF LAYER 2 NETWORKING EQUIPMENT!

aquawave 10-04-2002 08:25 AM

Need hardrive so bad i can taste it
 
I am starting up a server and I have a crappy 2 gig drive with a 166 pentium class cpu :( . As you can tell this server is need of massive upgrading only problem is my funds are limited to food and other forms of nessicary things (I know this is a nessicary thing among most things but the truth is I have barly enough to eat two times a day) SO when I get this HD I will finally be able to put up some cool video and audio links and posssibly streaming radio of punk emo techno and oher funs stuff. If I don't get a new hard drive I will just go find a nice corner and cry.

MIK3 10-04-2002 05:36 PM

WOW! and i thought that i was at a loss w/ my 233 6 gig....no joke guys...so if HD are goin up, i would be in the need of one too, and for the rest of the impatient ones...take Uranium-235's advice...give it some time. And for the guests...u need to be member's with 10 posts...at least, keefe, i think u should raise it to like 100! :biggrin:

OJ 10-07-2002 11:00 PM

OK, all you students have it easy. I wish I was back there! I graduated this spring, and with a 4 year honors degree, I just got a job at...... a produce warehouse. So as a ray of sunshine in my bleak bleak existence, some free computer related stuff would be just what I need to pick myself out of the gutter. I can't afford to upgrade until my student loan is paid off, so c'mon guys, throw a little sunshine my way!!

Prometheus 10-07-2002 11:07 PM

its pretty funny how soccer boy won the contest considering i dont see anything funny. i honestly dont think i shud have won either but there were people that were much funnier. but i think soccer boy just won because he hangs out on the forums alot. and that his text he made yellow so it stands out. which is kinda cheating.

10-07-2002 11:20 PM

I congradulate soccer on his winnings, may i be lucky enough to have a chance at winning also.

Keefe 10-07-2002 11:20 PM

We did not choose the winners based on the humorous quality of their jokes. We just randomly picked two people who posted in this thread and that had a total of 10 posts.

Jazzman 10-07-2002 11:21 PM

congrats to da winnaz- soccer_stud and Cplndave you guys rock!

Keefe 10-07-2002 11:33 PM

Stop talking like this contest is over. We still have 20+ prizes to give way!

Keep with it guys...

fog_dogg_69 10-07-2002 11:56 PM

my comp sucks, 14fps on the ut demo, on the worst graphic setting, and the frequent restarts... a heatsink or sumtin would really help me out... :biggrin:

heres my "funny" joke:





little johnny goes up to his mother and asks, "is God male or female?"

after thinking for a moment, his mother responds, "well, honey, God is both male and female."

this confuses little johnny, so he asks, "is God black or white?"

"well, God is both black and white."

this further confuses him so he asks, "is God gay or straight?"

at this the mother is getting concerned, but answers, "honey, God is both gay and straight."

little Johnnys face suddentely lights up with understanding and he triumphantly asks, "mom, is God michael jackson?"

Mac_forever 10-08-2002 12:57 AM

This is such a good idea to get us to keep posting on the site. It also helps with getting new people to sign up with Techware Labs.
My XP system is always restarting by itself. I think i have a problem with the video card. So, it would be nice if i could get a new video card.

Silverwings 10-08-2002 01:01 AM

Possability of winninga free prize? Great. I'm up for that.
I lost my job do to the 911 thing. Working for much, much less pay now, but I'm working and making some mony so I guess it aint all that bad.

Mac_forever 10-08-2002 01:04 AM

I also congradulate soccer_stud and chaplndave for being the first ones to win.

Tcbil 10-08-2002 03:31 AM

Well, I sure could use a good router for my DSL modem. Mine is so slow that I've used up all my packet grease and when I tried to order more, they told me that it was backordered and would not be available for at least a couple of months.

Anyway, in keeping with the other posts, here is some drivel for you to peruse:

THE FACTS OF LIFE

1. The 2 most common elements in the universe are hydrogen and
stupidity.
2. If at first you don't succeed, skydiving is not for you.
3. Money can't buy happiness. But it sure makes misery easier to live
with.
4. Deja Moo: The feeling that you've heard this bull before.
5. Psychiatrists say that 1 of 4 people are mentally ill. Check three
friends. If they're OK, you're it.
6. Nothing in the known universe travels faster than a bad check.
7. A truly wise man never plays leapfrog with a unicorn.
8. It has recently been discovered that research causes cancer in rats.
9. Always remember to pillage BEFORE you burn.
10. If you are given an open-book exam, you will forget your book.
11. COROLLARY: If you are given a take-home test, you will forget where
you live.
12. The trouble with doing something right the first time is that
nobody appreciates how difficult it was.
13. It may be that your sole purpose in life is simply to serve as a
warning to others.
14. Paul's Law: You can't fall off the floor.
15. The average woman would rather have beauty than brains, because the
average man can see better than he can think.
16. Clothes make the man. Naked people have little or no influence on
society.
17. Vital papers will demonstrate their vitality by moving from where
you left them to where you can't find them.
18. Law of Probability Dispersal: Whatever it is that hits the fan will
not be evenly distributed.
19. Poker rules supplement: A .44 Magnum beats 4 aces.
