Working without the safety net is fine as long as you never fall. True professionals take risks. Those that take risks will need the net eventually. If you never fall, you aren't taking enough risks. So it only makes sense to use a safetly net.It's almost as if all his overconfident, absolutist assertions were spoonfed to him by a trusted website or subreddit. Sheeple

With or without religion, you would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil things, that takes religion.

Well, I singed my eyebrows and hair, for starters. I'm only just geting into glazes, so I'm sure that I have lots of chemical mishaps ahead of me.

What are you talking about ? Being a pro isn't neither boring or average - being stupid on the other hand, well it's just stupid - unless, of course, you are trying to get an darwin awardOriginally posted by Pekka

Do I take back ups from important files? Hell no! Sometimes I don't even keep older versions of programming files, I mean who needs those old files anyway, if I have to back track, well.. that's too bad. And that's the best way to screw yourself over.

What gives you that idea ? Of course profs make mistakes, it's just very rare that they make stupid mistakes.Originally posted by Pekka

Well then give the rare stupidities and stop threadjacking this thread?
And there is a difference how you treat your own puter and how you treat puters and work in your job. If you claim otherwise, you are just stating there are only one type of people existing in this world, which might make you a professional in your own field, but stupid outside of it

Wow, thats the first time I have been accused of threadjacking because of responsing to the subject of the thread.
If I'm not wrong, then the title of the thread is "Professional Stupidities" and that has very little to do with what you are doing with some private PC.And there is a difference how you treat your own puter and how you treat puters and work in your job.

Really, you are getting deperate - trying to insult my personality instead of the subject discussed - are you a memeber of greenpeace ?With or without religion, you would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil things, that takes religion.

"If I'm not wrong, then the title of the thread is "Professional Stupidities" and that has very little to do with what you are doing with some private PC. "
and at the same time you say
"Wow, thats the first time I have been accused of threadjacking because of responsing to the subject of the thread."
Hmm.
"Really, you are getting deperate - trying to insult my personality instead of the subject discussed - are you a memeber of greenpeace ?"
No but if you read the OP I say I leave MY HDs outside the case, I said virus scanners etc in MY computer etc. For a professional you have problems reading and understanding.
I clearly stated that this thread is about professional stupidities, and sharing them. If you are Mr perfect, then you don't have any stories so you should just read because you can't contribute. Instead you are trying to spin this whole thread into 'you are not professional and professionals are not like you'. Exactly what did you not understand this thread was about?
Did I say "The big "Do as I tell, not like I do"."? That refers to a situation where you tell others to do it properly and you do it differently yourself. Like a cleaner having a messy home.
So yes, stop threadjacking and start contributing. And no, it's not a subject of debate what I meant. If YOU didn't get it, now you DO, so onwards please?In da butt.

Nope, no reading problems - that is not a prof issue since you don't do it. Period. There is no discussion about this point - you just don't do that if you consider yourself as a prof. period.

Nice try, but no cookie - what you described in the OP may be common procedure for a private computer but no way anything near professional treatment of such. Well if you are a newbee, you may act that stupid, but not for long.I clearly stated that this thread is about professional stupidities, and sharing them.

Can't figure out what you want. No prof will ever do anything resembling what you describes in the OP ?
Edit : damn quotes got messed up trying to repair
Edit : hopefully with better quotes
edit : I think I have it now (and no this isn't prof - I'm on the way down the second bottle of redwine
)
