Don't you just hate when you wind up in a store with people who are in a socioeconomic class that is pretty obviously about two levels lower than your own?

read this:

and notice that it is way more recognizably true. the difference is that e.g. stackexchange is a *bad* place to get your tech questions answered by clowns.

If you want to get an actual answer on irc, the proper way to frame your question is to log in twice, ask the question with one account, and use the second to respond to it with an incorrect answer

Alternately you can just say "my IT guy told me to do $incorrect_thing" and wait for the essays to pour in

Umm, actually, I think you will find that the Dreamcast used the GD-ROM format.

very little mocking happening here, irc was pretty sweet. very much a part of an internet past though, much like these forums. weird congregations of communities with some common lore and ideas
