I'm so sorry I copied your idea Kreij. But this jumped right in my head.

Conversation suggestion :
Caller : Hi, I'm from <vendor> and it looks like your computer is about to be toast.
You : Yeah, I like toast, but I'm more of a bacon man.
Caller : Sir, do you understand the seriousness of the situation with your computer?
You : Yeah, I do. I'm just frying bacon on one of the heatsinks.
Caller : I...I don't think you're supposed to do that.
You : Who are you to tell me what to do with my computer! Click.

One could replace "computer", in the last line, with "GTX480".

Nothing to apologize for - it's called creativity and it's not born in a vacuum. Nice one.

Caller : What?
You : You know, lot's of blood on a carpet? What works to get that out, because I think the police are on the way.
Caller : Well I don't really know what you are ...
You : Shit, they're here. Gotta go. Click.

What you need in this scenario is a large amount of Hydrogen Peroxide and and a good defense attorney on speed dial!

They use the same software as logmein123 does.


I would love to have them call me. I could assist them with mapping their connection and then submitting it to abuse of epic proportions.
