Did anyone beeping ask for this?

Dheeraj, if you know as much about computers as you are trying to make people think, then make your own website, which will be free of illegal software, but full of information and include the URL in your sig.

@ Dheeraj
I stated before I may say this to you, here it is in beeping language.

Decipher this from the letter number in the alphabet:
16 beeps, 9 beeps, 19 beeps, 19 beeps
15 beeps, 15 beeps, 6 beeps
Complexity of incoherent design.

Piss oof? I think your RAM may not be seated properly; your beeping is off. :D j/k
I like the beep language. Very gracefully put.


But yeah, I looked at Dheeraj's user group, and it has "HACKING STUFF" listed on it, so it seems a bit awkward on a freeware/non-warez forum. O well, whatever floats his boat.

And another thing, aren't all mobos different when it comes to what the beeps mean? Did you (Dheeraj) just prop open your motherboard handbook and starting typing the Getting Started section?
Save a tree, eat a beaver.
Save a tree, wipe with an owl.

Every time a bell rings, a thread gets hijacked!
ding, ding!

Give Andavari lots of money and maybe even consider getting K a DVD-RW drive.

If it's not Scottish, IT'S CRAP!!!

I can't believe you'd even take the time to decipher it, just goes to show that typos exist in the "beeping language," maybe we should start typing all our posts in Klingon.

Actually, I knew what it was before I took the time to decipher it. I just looked it over to make sure I was right (the 2 "19 beeps" in a row, and the fact that one word was 4 letters and one was 3, gave it away). But yeah, Klingon sounds like a safe alternative. :D

And it sounds like kobrakommander56 is having "a case of the Mondays"!
