<div class="IPBDescription">Who put the ram in...</div> Edit: read front page post for more information on why the site went down again

Since the server had bad ram, I felt it appropriate to bring this comic up relating to the assembly of computer parts, and ESD.... either use a static strap or do <a href='http://www.megatokyo.com/index.php?strip_id=70' target='_blank'>this</a>. Also this more recent comic relates if a female inserted the ram (DONT EVEN THINK ABOUT THE IMPLICATIONS....), <a href='http://www.megatokyo.com/index.php?strip_id=653' target='_blank'>linky</a>.
Forum mods feel free to move this to OT/Discussions or whatever you feel like doing... which you do anyway.

    This is just an excuse to post a link to Megatokyo. Truly you care not whether Flayra wears clothes for he is thy lord and master and as we learned in "The Emperor's New Clothes" he can be naked for all we care.

    There are no naked pics of Flayra in the super secret forums. Instead, there is a section where Nem can boost his post count, and more recently, an explanation by Cagey as to what's been happening with the server. The RAM does seem to be a probable (or at least possible) cause of recent problems.

    Haha for nem's 10K postcount... (he locked the thread discussing his 10K posts ironically enough). I have no idea whether it was ram or OS, or both.... think of it this way, we can wait longer for a site cause of hardware too! <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    You knew it? It's more like who <i>didn't</i> know it.

    That said, what kind of RAM was it? Do servers use different kinds of RAM? Did you get a refund? <i>Who am I directing my questions to?</i>

    I am sure that everyone one of you would love to have a girl "help" you build a computer exactly the way it is describe in the comic.

    In addition, I know some girls that would actually do that because they are brain dead. :-) (Some guys too <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->)

    there's something about computer building + naked that doesn't fit... Help, sure. Taking some of it off, sure. Taking it all off seems weird, a bit like, say, a blacksmith in the nudes. Except, of course, if you would like the computer "help" the girl get nekkid <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    Actually Nem0's in the wrong hemisphere to install the RAM... and Flay and I are both in the wrong timezone.

    The webserver is in Texas and an ISP tech is handling each of our hardware requests.
