I just got back from Taipei a few hours ago and I dropped by to check on the forums but this thread caught my eye so I thought I'd respond while working out server issues on the phone (that's always boring). So here we go:
1) How's life for you?
Good but stressful and often times confusing, there are quite a few decisions to be made most of which you never hear about in the forums or on the frontpage.
2) Can I have some of the used components you have lying around?
Hmm...nope If I gave some to you I would have another million or so people asking the same thing
3) Where did I place that other sock???
Is THAT what has been stinking up the lab?
4) <In the most annoying voice in the world> Wazzup?
Nuttin much, just watchin' the game, havin a bud...
5) What is your mastercard # & the expiration date?
No Mastercard, only AMEX & Visa
6) Drink cofee?
Nope. You'd think I would to stay up late but I'm not a big fan of the bean.
7) "What are you doing for dinner?"
Nibbling on some of these Thunderbird boards. Actually I might head out for a 2AM waffle house or IHOP run after I get some work done.
8) Mister Anand, sir, if I may ask you this one question without any bother, sir, please tell me what you think of asskissers.
Hehehe, I think it's odd that people would want to kiss down there.
9) Can I have a loan???..........or at least a position in the company??
Now that wouldn't be very fair
10) .............please??
The thread title said one question, don't make me call security sir.
11) Can I borrow your car keys for a couple hours?
I can't think of any funny way to respond other than, hmm no
12) Where do you get all the energy man?
It's something I enjoy doing, and when you're doing something you truly enjoy you tend to find all the energy in the world is at your fingertips...
...and I use Duracell Ultras
13) Can i be your assistant?
The question, Mr. Bond, is can I be your assistant?
(the above was a cheap attempt at getting out of answering a question)
14) Why don't they make the anandtech banner transparent......it's bothering more and more......
Hmm transparent ads...I think I may have to talk to the sales team about those...
15) "Did you ever know that you're my hero?"
I swear I didn't mean to create that wind beneath your wings, I knew I shouldn't have had those bean burritos for lunch.
16) Can I have all your hardware and money? please
I've got a Cyrix and $0.30 if that's what you're looking for
17) Wouldn't you really rather drive a Buick?
The first car I can remember my family having was a '82 Skylark. I'm pretty sure that my '76 Impala is a better ride.
18) "Can you come over here for a minute? I just wanna kick yer ass, take your wallet and keys, and run off..."
Sounds like a good deal. I got a better deal, how bout I give you the finger and...wait...damn, I'm really not being too creative tonight.
19) how's it going?
Can't complain, except for all of these damn server problems...oh and missing your flight out of Taipei in the morning isn't exactly the best feeling in the world
20) "Want to come over to my house and play SCRABBLE® for a hundred dollars a point?"
Oh I'll play your game rogue...
...well, maybe not, Scrabble isn't exactly my Forte, next please
21) Who is your God?
Transmeta (and you thought it was Intel all this time)
22) Do you like mayonaisse?
Yes but in limited quantities. Let's just say that I'm not a big fan of the mayonaisse sandwich.
23) Paper or plastic?
Neither, I use gel...wait...what are we talking about here?
Well, I hope these responses have been helpful (not sure how ). It's back to work on these servers for me.
Take care,
Anand
