Why is Prince such a terrible electrician? It's ridiculous! The intercom for the building in which I live has been broken for ages now. It should be a simple matter to fix it, anyone with a basic understanding of electricity should be able to fix it.
However, no matter how many emails I send to NPGMC, Prince still hasn't fixed it. Sure, he might kick ass on guitar, but he's bloody rubbish with a soldering iron and a multimeter This is Official Member of the New Power Generation #1304 returning his fan club badge and ID card | |

You should file a complaint with the better business bureau. | |

Take it out, I want Prince to do it! I expect him to be capable of doing anything, including leaping tower blocks with a single bound. Is that too much to ask? I think not! | |

I think not! ok if he puts the resistor in backwards, u know what'll happen then. [This message was edited Thu Jun 12 5:26:42 PDT 2003 by Finess] | |

This is because he's too busy with his Triangle classes. "I saw a woman with major Hammer pants on the subway a few weeks ago and totally thought of you." - sextonseven | |

Resistors aren't directional. Prince told me! He said that if you're short of 10K resistors thick violin strings will suffice. [This message was edited Thu Jun 12 6:42:29 PDT 2003 by sabaisabai] Life it ain't real funky unless you got that orgPop. | |

It's just amazing how some threads are deleted immediately, but completely useless shit like this is allowed to stand. Perhaps there is a double standard for those who possess the "moderator" title. Fucking ridiculous... [This message was edited Thu Jun 12 7:04:39 PDT 2003 by uglybrowneyes] | |

It's just a joke thread anyway though... My point exactly. Others post "joke" threads that get deleted, but it's okay for Ian? | |

Never popped one. I believe that some resistors are directional are some aren't.. Life it ain't real funky unless you got that orgPop. | |

I agree entirely. I suspect the mods here are a bit slack | |

[This message was edited Thu Jun 12 7:04:39 PDT 2003 by uglybrowneyes] I agree, and I also think we should complain about the number of people here with no sense of humour and take themselves far too seriously. Something should be done about those fuckwits. | |

There's no rules against jokes on our website. However maybe it's a good idea. We'll ban laughter while we are at it. | |

Be civilized, and try to keep posts "clean". Don't be hateful or abusive or harass others. Do not start, engage in, or encourage 'flame wars'. A good general rule: "criticize ideas, not people." Personal/racial/ethnic/gender-based insults, slurs, or derisive comments will not be tolerated. Oh yeah, moderators have absolute rights. My bad. F.O. Ian! | |

Brotha was jamming with the input/output currents! He is one of the funkiest electricians I have ever seen, IMO. I'm an electrician, I should know. Do yourself a favor Ian, and don't speak about shit you know nothing about. P is one of the greatest electricians out there. "Knowledge is preferable to ignorance.
