just got back from a "mother" of a computer problem.

some folks i know just found out i was back in town and gave me a call. they had paid a tech $400 to fix their interent issue(can't connect) and get a wireless router working. the company made them sign a contract, then after 4 hours the tech wanted more money for more time. they said $400 was enough and he left(i believe they questioned his competance,too).

i walked in and in 60 seconds changed the tcp/ip to "obtain ip and dns automatically" and guess what?

i hate this money hungry town and its people. i'm moving back to mississippi were folks are a "little" nicer. i took my truck to get a tire leak fixed twice. they took it off my truck, patched it, balanced it, and handed me my keys. both times. wouldn't even take a tip. both times. busted up my side mirror off roading. $5 to cut and replace mirror. the list goes on...

and yankee women? give me a southern belle any day...make you feel warm and fuzzy...
wow...this post sure went south...
 
Flame bait. Tell the lady you got your eyes on you prefer southern belles, she'll give you the bird in the direction of the bus. My kind of lady. North East coast for the win. :D

Really though I'm messing around with that stuff based on this holier than thou BS. An over-the-top alternate opinion for you though:
http://www.fuckthesouth.com/

WARNING: It's basis is in exactly holier-than-thou southern attitudes of some. However, I admit it is overly harsh and in one-direction.

Anyways, yeah, the OP went "south." It is practically genmay material at this point. Your points on southern supremacy stick a lot more than a little blurb on your PC tech situation. Before you hate me though I probably agree with this guys idea on the piece:
"All you idiots who lump all members of a region in one clump are no better than the hate mongers who terrorized the South in the liveliest days of KKK. Nice Generalization... If it's people like you that are representing the left wing, you should maybe open your mind that you isolate many allies when you say things like "Fuck the South.""

Cali or NY for teh win!
 
I can't afford to live in Cali or NY.. Screww bussiness debilitating taxation.. And screewwwww laws where it seems the only ones that can own pistols are ganbanging punks and cops on the take.. It's why left...

Edit..Sorry about that.. The cost of living can be considerabley higher in the North East and in Cali especialy when you figure in taxes.. Which many cost of living analysys seem to not take into account.. The gangbanger and cops on the take thing seem to plague every city of size, regardless of state or country for that matter..

I dissagree, I used to live in Utica.. The homeowners taxes there ran well over a 1500 for a POS house that somehow magicaly was valued near $200,000.. I live in a house now that only cost half that, is much nicer, larger, is in a better neigborhood paying under $400 in property taxes in OK.. Cost me $25 last year to tag my car , nearly $200 in NY the last time I did it, on an older, less valuable compact car.. I could go on.. Upstate is a very nice place to live though.. I just can't stand the taxes and anti everything laws..
You are right though about NYC.. The rest of NY seems like paradise compared to that place..
 
I'm from western New York (Rochester/Buffalo) currently residing in Boston. I think New England's motto should be "Pwning the South since 1863" :D
 
While I wholeheartedly agree about the value of small towns, I can only offer one word:

Rickets ;)
 
Sorry, I like to vist, but I will take Texas each and every time over the north.

"the North" includes: All cities north of Alexandria Virgina from North central to North east US.

Please disagree with me, I like it that way, that means the roads here will be less crowded, the parks will have less bikers and more nature. Oh, and definately more hot Texas females for me ;)

I would take Houston over Boston, San Antonio over Phili, hell anything over Phili, and Austin over all (unless you have severe allergies, then definately don't go to Austin).
 
Give me a slutty girl from anywhere any day..... :D

Some tech support people are worthless, so fat lady trying to fix our DSL sat at our ocmputer for like 45 minutes and made my mom go check stuff cuz she was to fat to walk around, a guy comes out the next day and fixes it in 5 minutes.
 
I think computer techs should only be paid on problems they actually fix.

Just like mechanics...they don't fix the car, they don't get paid, the guy who does fix it get the check.

I agree, there are too many idiots who just want a paycheck and I would bet a lot of them live in mississippi too, it's easier to screw those people...their too nice. :D

:p
 
Have to agree with a few other posters...I am Texas born and will never leave.

As for the tech support...yeah, my favorite is when you call them up and actually know what you are talking about. It is a rather interesting sound to hear as flip charts go whizzing by as the techs attempt to find out what a voip router is!
