So, lets say you manage a convinience store. Some guy comes up to you at the checkout and he asks for a £10 bottle of vodka.

he then dumps £10s worth of 5p coins onto the counter. That's 200 of those fuckers, some falling onto the floor. Do you refuse to serve him?

I did, and he made a formal complaint. Either way, im not in trouble - just seeing if GAF would have done the same as me.

Hell no. I'd laugh my ass off, though.

I wouldn't want to lose my job so i would still serve them.

Change is always useful. I'd count it carefully though before agreeing to sell anything.

Even when you're single manned during the day, and you have a queue of customers behind him?

Also, there's a change machine down the road that gives you notes in exchange for loose change. I told him to use it, he refused.

try logging in from her or some other computer and see if it works there.

I've had this problem before when I was appearing as offline/invisible. I fixed it by appearing online. But who knows, Skype is finicky.
 
Has anyone heard of a frozen yogurt shop that brings dispensers to catered events? I've been trying to find a place that will actually bring those fancy yogurt dispensers somewhere, but all of the catering options are limited to gallon tubs. Does what I want even exist?
 
My monitor seems to be having some issues lately. Yesterday it just started losing power intermittently for no obvious reason, but it would act as though it had briefly shut off and back on, with the little digital or analog box in the corner. I disconnected the PC and found that it still did it. Later on I noticed that it started getting stuck in a menu with the presets scrolling downward repeatedly. After noting which button would cause this, I mashed down on the button as hard as I could and this stopped its issues for the rest of the night.

Today it started again when I came home from work, but hitting the same button firmly did the trick for now.

If the problem gets worse, is it reasonably safe to open up an LCD monitor these days? I know people used to say old CRTs could hold a fatal charge in their capacitors for days or longer, though I don't know if there's any truth to that. I want to guess that there's something wrong with the buttons (pretty standard set of actual buttons down the side) that if it gets really bad I could just open it up and fix by myself. (Naturally, this monitor is about a couple months out from its 3 year warranty.)
 
Does anyone have a good tutorial on how to build a media server/center pc?
I have an old Computer from 2005 (2GB ram, Pentium 4 with 3,2Ghz), to which I want to add a 1TB HDD, and I basically need a guide on which HDD to pick (I'd probably want high speed and low power usage) and how to set things up from software side.

I'd make a new thread for this, but I got perma junior'd for being a moron.

I suggest reading the stickies over at avsforum.com in the Home Theater PC section. A hard drive is the least of your concerns since they don't use much power and the speed is not that important. The CPU/GPU are more important.

Since you have an old computer, you probably can get away with getting a new graphics card. The only issue with the P4 is that they tend to run hot and loud. If you have the option of buying a new motherboard/CPU, I would go for the i3 and use integrated graphics. Powerful & quiet, not much heat generated.

Why is there a 60s waiting period after searching for something on GAF? I never understood it.
Click to expand...

You can get around this by using Google to search. If you have Chrome, you can type in "site:neogaf.com" followed by your keywords to find the thread you want.

There are still advantages to using the forum search instead of Google search like finding all threads by a particular poster, etc.
 
I've got an issue with google chrome.. Every video youtube or otherwise lags like hell. I read somewhere if you disable the flash extension in chrome and just download flash it would fix it but nadda still doing the same thing. This is bugging the living shat out of me.

It's doing this in IE and Firefox as well..

*EDIT* I just downloaded opera and tried it out, watched videos fine.. weird...
 
Anyone have a recommendation for a decent and free alternative to Photobucket? Nothing too fancy, just a solid image host where I can have all my shit under one account. My Photobucket account has been "in maintenance" for a few days now and it's fucking annoying since it seems to happen every few weeks lately.
 
Why is this happening?

Starting around last week, only GAF has been giving me trouble lately. I open the site, start browsing threads, then suddenly the page only loads half-way (see image). Everything loads except for the main content.

In order to fix it I either have to refresh a few times, or close the browser and start over. It used to happen every time, then I added GAF to the trusted sites list. Now it does it less often but enough to be annoying. I haven't changed anything on my computer, so I don't know what's up...

Yes, yes...I'm using IE9...but still, every other site is fine.

Before I waste more time looking through their website or on the phone with customer service, anyone know off hand if FedEx can be instructed to leave a package with building security? I missed their call today, when I would have told them to do that, and now it's back at FedEx. I don't want to have to pick it up from their site.
 
I'm trying to find a specific meme-ish image. Stick figure holding their hands in the air with a rainbow or some shit arcing between them, saying... something. "It's nothing" or "who gives a shit" or something along those lines. Not the Spongebob one. Can't remember what it is exactly and it's driving me mad.

I was thinking about the HBO show Oz a bit ago and one scene in particular came hauntingly back to me. I believe I've seen it outlined in some other prison-esque shows before and have never understood the meaning.

What's up with the spoon?

In Oz, one of the skinheads looks at Tobias (I think it was him) and licks the spoon in a very suggestive manner. I cant for the life of me figure out what this would be used for. I'm guessing its sexual but cant figure out why the raper would want the spoon.
 
I can't seem to find the gif of a guy sitting down at his comp preparing to fap that typically get posted in hot girl threads lately.
 
I saw a few Stoner Comic strips that were posted in the Funny Pics thread about a year or so ago. One involved a stoned dude watching a wildlife show. Very basic art, possibly done on MS Paint.

Anyone know where I can find more of these?
 
When you post a topic on GAF, why does it sometimes show reply/view numbers as "0/1" or "1/2" for ages, when you know that even if it doesn't have many replies, the fact that it's been at the top of page 1 for a few minutes will mean it has more than 1 or 2 views?

Do GAFers in foreign countries get the site translated for them, or does most of the site understand how to read/type US English?
Click to expand...

There is not a single active member on GAF who does not know English, and neither is there any translation software that could ever translate GAF into readable text in any other language. The differences between UK English and US English, or between any standard English variant* and standard US English, are also probably smaller than the differences between standard US English and the American GAF member who is the worst at typing.

(*only counting standard written variants)
