How can you lose a battle unless you are fighting totally stupid people?
How in the world can "can" sound like "can't"?

And if they sound similar (slightly), they have 2 totally opposite meanings, and people should distinguish between them.
IMO, you can't say can sounds like can't.

What's the difference? Can and cant sound the same anyway.

oh dear lord, please tell me you are being sarcastic? You CAN NOT be serious?

Now "cannot" sounds like a different word. But "can" and "cant" sound like the same word. Everytime I have to guess which word by the context. It's stupid.

You're absolutely right, they sound very much the same...that guy bothering you about this whole can and can't thing doesn't get the point!

They don't if you SPEAK PROPERLY.
Fo shizzle ya'll stoopid.

...THAT, ladies and gentlegeeks, is why I don't live in America.

The fact that some apparently non-technical people think Dell is better than home-brewed is a reason not to live in America? Or the fact that some people still believe that WMD have been/will be found in Iraq?

Either way, I think I speak for most Americans in saying that we're glad you don't live here, either...

I'm saying this guy will never be convinced. They could go back and forth for days and this guy will never be convinced. That makes it a losing battle.

The fact that stupid people have the audacity to call others stupid might be the reason. (And say they can ('t?) stand them).

We can't stand you either, stupid person.

Anyway someone stupid enough came up and said something like DELL PC's are the best,and that unless someone buys a Dell, he is buying a piece of Sheet. Well this is not the first time i have heard such things. My system blows away the dell XPS;supposed to be Dell top of the line. My own G/F bought a Dell Dimension 2400 for $499, well guess what: It came with a CD-ROM , 40GB HDD and no Floppy. I was so happy that when she asked me to upgraded i asked her to call dell. A complete system from those guys cost around $1,000 for a decent configuration.

yeah like everyone knows the difference. Dell while not the best system around are NOT bad systems to have.

I got my father-in-law a dimension 2400 and it does everything he needs. the 40gb HD is way larger then he will ever need not to mention his came with a CD-burner. He might use that twice.

While i could build him computer there is NO way i could have built what he got for the $399 (had a rebate of $100) with a monitor. heck even whiteout a monitor i couldn't build that.

Now about the computers, some people will argue that Dell is better than Compaq or that HP is better than gateway and so on. They are all piece of crap as they use the cheapest part you can find.
My neighbor bought a Dell for $529 check the specs below:
P2 350Mhz
6.1GB HD
4X CD-RW
64MB Ram
Windows 98
14-15 low quality unbranded monitor
$1 Keyboard(pricewatch) and .50c Mouse
Floppy and Zip Drive
How do i know? he called me and told the that he got a great setup. He bought it from Cybertek computer, a rip-off computer place.

well now if he did NOT research what he was buying then how is that dell's, Compaq or HP's fault again?

sounds like Cybertek just found a sucker.


Now you on the other hand just sound like someone trying to come into ATOT and post how he is this all knowing computer geek trying to impress people. Well got news for you. MOST here are computer geeks. So join the crowd.

Instead of posting something that is worth while you come off as s whiny little brat.

The other thing i can stand are people with no brain, I am in a small town full of Bush lovers. 89% of them believe that there is WMD in Iraq , that we just need time to find them. More than 1/2 of the american people believe that there was a link between 9/11 and Iraq.
I really have to stop here before i loose control.

just wait until you're Dictator Of Earth & you can make them all buy
PC's with the Dictator Of Earth Seal of Approval.
plus, you can jail all the stupid people.

You're right. "can" and "cant" still sound the same to me. And yes, I know they have completely opposite meanings, Lonyo (mr. smart arse?)

 

[PCmaker]

Ok, Guys i edited the thread , i want positive input , No fighting. And as the can thing goes i will have the last can and that is a "can" of good old BUD

Unless you have a lisp, can and can't do not sound the same. You have to pronounce the t at the end of can't. That's like saying does and doesn't sound the same.

Onto another ignorant topic.. its LOSE, as in "I'm about to lose it" , not loose.. and it's also LOSER and not LOOSER. For example.. people who can't tell the difference between can and can't are losers

I didn't read the posts, but you seem to hate Dell computers. For most people, they're great. The system your gf bought is probably good enough for her use, you don't need an overclocked CPU to run microsoft word

 

[AgentOrange]

This thread has now gone over the top. I can/can't stop reading it now. I will be a loser/looser if i do/don't.

Yep, me two. I r teh dum now.

The funniest thing about all this can and can't shite is that it is not being said, it is being written. You might mistake them for sounding similar, as some people cannot seem to enunciate very well, but you cannot possibly tell me that they appear to be written the same.

 

[Howard]

WTF? This guy is like Wduaqnug, but totally unfunny!

 

[TommyVercetti]

Excuse me for correcting you, but all signs point to Iraq being involved.
