Just do your downloading in the pc room
In one hour you can download one movie or several simultanously
I do it all the time because they have the best internet speed |
How do you get internet in a Pc Bang when your laptop can't get on the internet? Do I just unhook the internet cable and plug it into my laptop? |
This is pretty much double posting Stacy. 
Now, how do you get internet in a PC room? Why, oh why are signatures disabled? |

Now, come on, it's pretty clear she wants to take her laptop to a PC bang and do her downloading from there. (So she can take it home.) She's wondering what to do if they don't have wireless. |

Clarity comes from the reader then? |

Look, I see where you are going, but really, even within the framework of the thread, the post is still hilariously broken. Your defense of this post(er) is illustrative enough that there are some issues with the post: if it weren't so poor, it wouldn't need a defense. |

That position is not even slightly logical. There could be many reasons why I chose this particular post to defend regardless of how it was written. The fact of the matter is that you certainly could assume the OP was an idiot if you wanted, and you've chosen that route.
Personally, given enough evidence to the contrary (which I find in this case) I will assume that the OP is wondering if it's ok to mess with network cables in a PC bang, which I don't find to be a ridiculous question. |

Nor do I, but as is clear through my posts, it (they, actually) was extremely poorly asked. With this in mind (and it is the only objection I have raised in this), there can be no reason for which you are defending the post(er). It is the only 'offense' I have put forward and thus, it is what you defend.
Is there any other 'logical' reason for you to defend the post(er) in this situation? If there is, then maybe your idea of leaving clarification up to the reader isn't such a good idea.
Perhaps I should C&P this here:
...you and I are actually talking about two different things; while you are worried about understanding Stacy, I am having a laugh at her wacky posts. Sure I can understand her, just like I can understand a grade 2 student when they say "Teacher, I am bathroom", but my understanding doesn't make the kid less wrong or what they say less funny. I just expect more from an adult than "Which internet do you use?". |

lol @ this thread.... sometimes people don't know the right words to use when it comes to technology, they often use words inappropriately or use awkwardly.
If your intention is to help these people, you have to read between the lines. |

No, but you are a self-righteous prat, which carries its own set of risks.
