Thank you for your contributions to the field of Keyboard science, and most of all for the laughs. Lurking this site for 2 years was made entirely worth it for your humor alone, nevermind the helpful information.

Thank you.

As I've said, Geekhack wouldn't be the same without you and obviously you've made huge contributions to the wiki.

I love you, Ripster.  You can give me head any time.

Hugs and kisses,
Sir Italian B. D. Stallion III, Esq.

P.S.  Give me a call later.  I want to give you a pinging you'll never forget.

"I come to bury ripster, not to praise him."

40,000 posts! How time flies... It was only last year that I said:

If it wasn't for all Ripster's ping trolling, this would never have happened so quickly. I'd like to officially thank zf electronics for that.

Well congrats !

Even if his jokes are not funny, even if most of his posts are not that helpfull.
But his wikis are good, informative and helpful so thumbs up for this.
I do not doubt that most of the ppl. are getting into the mech. world of keyboards by his wikis.

(If we forgot about the Ripometer, cause everybody knows that a Robo servo arm is needed for that .. and there is no robo without lasers ! )

So keep up and good work
(even if you are American, bwaahahahahah!)

Btw.: I demand that you use the geekgirl avatar !

Title: 40,000 Posts! The Ripster Praise Thread!
Post by: keyboardlover on Tue, 23 August 2011, 17:50:26
Let's just say it took a LOT of trolling.

Doesn't appear that getting his posts deleted lowers the count though. Weird glitch.

1- Who's in 2nd place?

2- ripster joined roughly 525 business days ago, or 4200 business hours ago. So if GH was his full time 9-to-5 job, he makes about 10 posts per hour (assuming he gets a few vacation days each year, it's right about 10.)

If you do nothing else, you must be doing a lot of whatever it is that you do.

1) Me by about a couple of thousand posts or so (I think ch_123 is 3rd at 9K+).  Yes, it took a lot of trolling, but time was the main contributor.  Remember, too, that "took off" two or three months due to blocked access, for better or worse.

2) I do the majority of posting at work while queries are running, on lunch, during running tasks or just plain knocking-off.  I rarely come in "after hours."  I'm only here right now to check out my new WASD keyboard (which is very nice, BTW).

Congratz on your 40k post, rip.  Eventhough some of the stuff you posted were off topic, I see that you try to be helpful from time to time...  and as much as you possibly can under circumstances (not to mention that some of your wiki actually helped me more than once).

Now if you would only answer some of the PM's and change back your avy then you'd be alright in my book. lol

That pretty concisely sums it up for me.  General thumbs up for the humour, although I'm still traumatized by those horrible youtube videos with the dancing spandex wearing Japanese fat man.

Why's geekhack turned into a pit of haters lately anyhow?  And how could Chairman Beaker miss it?

Our celebrated television models notwithstanding, real life moves past angsty gossipy highschool bull**** and only Al Bundy losers vehemently insist on staying behind to win the old games.

Well that's a rather bleak view of Apple and/or Steve Jobs.
Jobs is probably one of the more brilliant business types out there.

I know a lot of people who use Apple computers for graphics and music; they're nice.

And the "average person" will always be degraded in the typical plebeian sense (it's all a relative summation). So I'm not sure where you're going with that.

Switched to Apple the day they went to the Intel chip 5 years ago and never looked back.
-Hardware...thumbs up
-Software...thumbs up
-Integration...thumbs up
-Systems...thumbs up
-Implementation...thumbs up

I base this on all of my cumulative usage. I'm comfortable with that assessment.

Apple is innovative and ahead of the curve.

I turned out to be such a DWEEB!

Apple is innovative and ahead of the curve.

I turned out to be such a DWEEB!

Does Ripster Mac?

Ripster uses a bunch of lian-li cases with presumably ASUS mobos.

And when he does use OEM, he uses HP... I think HP is gross.
EDIT: except their workstations, those are tolerable. They aren't very aesthetic though.

Well that's a rather bleak view of Apple and/or Steve Jobs.
Jobs is probably one of the more brilliant business types out there.


Surely, who said differently ?

I know a lot of people who use Apple computers for graphics and music; they're nice.


This has nothing to do with the danger that Apple is representing.

And the "average person" will always be degraded in the typical plebeian sense (it's all a relative summation). So I'm not sure where you're going with that.


Oh here the ignorance makes the difference, control trough the ignorance it's always happened in the history what changed here is the scale, a couple of companies are going to control the whole world, practically w/o any control. And people are happy with their ipads.  Like the native Americans with some nice mirrors.

So ask yourself where the world is going, not my message.

Hail ripster, you're the greatest, and all of Geekhackdom are your followers, even those who don't like you.

Actually, especially the folks that don't like you, call you a troll, etc: They are the most loyal subordinates of them all, following you every thread you take, every post you make (insert The Police relevant tune), even to the off topic section. You have them addicted, well played, Sir! Now stop deleting your old posts (unless it's glee youtube videos), on to the 50,000 anniversary, times a wastin!

Wow you're pessimistic.
I'm still unclear of what you're trying to say... Apple is representing a "danger?" OH NOES, everyone is using iPads. I think the LAST THING people should be worried about is an iPad.
At least Apple is contributing to the economy.

The world runs in a sine wave. Each generation repeats the same mistakes as the last, and often "reinvents" certain knowledge that the previous generation ALREADY KNEW.
Reinventing the wheel baby.

That's why "modern" technology is just a rehash of the old.

So before you think we're going in a big decline, just remember the generation before us already did. In fact, we've been going in a decline for 2000 years now. Intellectually speaking.

Geekhack used to be such a nice place.
Paradoxically it's because there weren't any rules before. Well, I'm sure there probably were, in theory, since I remember having to autoclick past the usual "I have read and agree to the terms and conditions etc" button during geekhack registration.  I know there's rules now, but they seem awfully specific so I suspect they've been amended and rammed after the fact.  Seems like they boil down to "play nice and don't be an asstard" anyhow.

But those were the days! We could swear, ****ing swear, post porn, tasteless links, pirate flying windows screensavers, flame, troll, belch, fart, and generally frolick about like Caligula's happily giggling little harem of scandalous vandalous keyboard-fixated social outcasts. The odd thing - and I'm sure I can be proven wrong with countless examples - is that by and large geekhack's members of that glorious bygone era were well behaved enough to give iMav more chuckles than headaches. Except for a handful of obsoleted cankerous crotchety old technocultist fallbacks still living the dream of IBM's 19th century steam-powered dominance, but I won't mention any names, and I won't mention Welly (because you gotta love Welly), and I won't even mention certain horny Italians with hot girlfriends since I never chatted much with them anyhow.

Maybe I, too, am living in the past. Nostalgia is great, but it just ain't what it used to be.

RIP rip. Your lego will be missed.

Two incidental observations:
1) Ripster's post count appears to be cryogenically frozen at 40k even though he's still leaking a little text now and then, and
2) This crazy "new" vBulletin grey/black/orange theme and gadgets setup is really bloaty and unresponsive and laggzy compared to the old vBulletin grey/black/orange theme and gadgets ... even without the million youtube vids and lego pics embedded on each page. Not meant to be hating on iMav, just reporting the big performance hit on my end.

Likely the biggest danger the planet faced since the nazifacism

It's more or less what the Italians thought about Berlusconi and its company some years ago. Luckily for you berlusconi is now a treat just for Italy, Apple will affect the planet.

And swapping freedom with richness is the worst thing a nation can do.

True, but you are missing the scale.

The geographical scale, and the power scale, do you noticed that Apple, Google and lookalike are already more powerful than whole nations (US included I'm afraid) ?

Quote
That's why "modern" technology is just a rehash of the old.


Again, the scale matters, Iphones, ipads and lookalike are going to be way more widespread than previous technologies and unlike the previous technologies can be controlled from single point if they want they can remotely delete any data, they can use any kind of data about you to make whatever they want, they can kill completely any form of communication and no one control them because the fear of hurting the economy.

Frankly we are in an hopeless situation

If I read your text correctly, you're stating that apple is going to control everyone from iPhones, iPods, and iPads?

If you aren't living in a cave you should know that the remote control of the installed data and programs is already in act, Amazon deleted an ebook remotely, google and apple have already deleted some programs, so what prevent them to do anything else ?

And even if we don't talk about direct interventions, when a single company controls the HW, the gps traceability, the website you see, your email, your data, your credit card data and so on they are practically already controlling you.

Is not that hard to understand.

Maybe The Solutor has some agreeable logic after all. I definetly agree here, Jobs created a whole new generation of stupidity here. Ripster usually calls this the T-ball generation, but hes not around to comment on this :(

Didn't you think it odd he RMA's TWO Filcos complaining of Ping? (http://geekhack.org/showthread.php?18731-A-sad-day-in-Filco-Ninja-Land)

Short answer: Yes.

Less-short answer: Yeeeesssss.

Long answer:  You'd figure after two he would realize it's normal.

That other picture you have is better.

The fun thing about the whole Welly thing was that we were talking about how crappy the Filco keys were, yet Welly called us Filco fanboys and talked about how we thought Filco could do no wrong.  I have yet to figure out how he got there. I do remember he could not separate shiny keys from letter wear.  That was like talking to a three year old.  Then again, he could have been trolling himself.

Trifecta!

I think he banned everyone from WordHack.  It no longer exists.

This thread needs definitely more

BOOBS! (http://www.herfame.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/zooey-deschanel-nude.jpg) <--- Plz, click here :)

It is weird that it is not allowed to show such images in the US :( Looks so nice!

Btw ... FUD is spreading! Even Topres seem to be affected from ping/ring hysteria by now (see Topre Ring Thread (http://geekhack.org/showthread.php?21478-slight-ringing-soud-normal-for-realforce-topre-boards-normal)).

What the hell's going on? The term "geek" originally referred to the carnival performers whose act consisted of biting the heads off chickens and eating glass!

We NEED more posts in the Off Topic section with "Ripster" in the title.

It's publicity like this that cements my Number One Keyboard Expert On The Planet status.

Haha, it's amazing that folks don't get it; your enemies are your biggest advertisers :-)
Soon they'll be registering domain names too: no-ripster-keyboards.org

But there's one thing they never do for some strange reason: put you in their ignore list

New topic seemed unnecessary, so here's to reviving an old one!  :thumb:

New subscriber milestone at r/mech! Which ultimately means more visitahs for GH :D Cheers to the symbiotic relationship between two similar but very different forums.
