does that by any chance mean I'm becoming a mod?
I haven't heard anything in the rumor mill about it...80
Come to think of it, I'm not sure that the mods ever gave me a grad present.

Soooo maybe if you listen again, you'll notice that it was really the pipe leaking and NOT me.

mepal, nowhere does it say you are exempt. He said the new posters will be outfitted, and older posters will be expempt. He said nothing about younger posters.

squeak:
Actually older posters will be pempt
In time they may petition to become expempt, but this is not always granted.Posted 5 years ago # -
ok. Now we have a real kasha on the gemarah. Does the term "older poster" refer to the actual age of the poster or does it refer to the length of time the poster posted in the CR.
According to Reb squeak, he feels it depends on the age of the poster. Although for him, it really shouldn't matter since he actually IS chronologically old AND he's been here for a while.
Acoording to Rebbetzin mepal, she feels it depends on the amount of time the particular poster posted for. Since she feels she was here long enough, and might be exempt, although, she really DOES want the 'outfitting'.
Maybe we should call the Rosh in to help us solve this svara.
(does that mean 'problem'?)

Older refers to the amount of time since originally registering. We always Poskin like Rava in Machloches with Abaaye except in 6 cases. This isn't one of the six.
Posted 5 years ago # -
which one is Rava? Me or squeak? Me-pal I guess!

This isn't a case of yiush?
Posted 5 years ago # -
Oh holy cow! Just put the name rebbetzin or rabanit in front of your name, give a psak and presto! You got smicha! So what are the choshuva rebetzins opinion on the matter?
Whooops, I was supposed to ask squeak first, before I gave my opinion. Uh oh.
so R' squeak, what would the psak be if the case is one of yiush?
Posted 5 years ago # -
If the rebbetzin would be kind enough to elucidate, I would humbly ask what slang? Anyway, I saw my typo and edited it, but the Noderator decided to change it back.
mepal, svara is reasoning, or a theory. The word you were looking for is chakira, or klehr.

not yiush sh'lo mi'das
Posted 5 years ago # -
all yiush is she'lo mida'as....
Posted 5 years ago # -
squeak, I'm really bad at these terms lol, 80/squeak would you care to explain??
Posted 5 years ago # -
ames, I sure hope not. You better have misunderstood.
Posted 5 years ago # -
ames, I think the word yiush is a real one. Read it Yee ush.
Posted 5 years ago # -
mepal - yiush she'lo mida'as is the first of the 6 places in shas where we pasken like Abayyei over Rava.
Yiush is when someone who lost an object gives up on finding it.
Yiush she'lo mida'as is where the person would have given up, but hasn't had the chance yet. The question is if this is considered as if he gave up.
Posted 5 years ago # -
mepal
If you find a lost object that has qualities that the original owner will despair (yiush) of ever getting it back when he knows about its loss (no identifiable markings, etc), but it's the kind of thing that the owner may not yet know has been lost (eg something not valuable or heavy that he would be immediately be aware of its loss) but when he finds out it is lost he WILL despair, then if you pick it up, can you keep it? Machlokes Abaaye and Rava. HERE we Poskin like Abaaye.Posted 5 years ago # -
Thanks squeak. So as per your first question - if this isn't yiush - I wouldnt think so being that I havent lost anything ;)
Posted 5 years ago # -
Thanks for explaining, 80. What are the other five? maybe we can find something else correlating to our problems?
Posted 5 years ago # -
I don't know the other 5. Two of them are one after the other in Sanhedrin, something to do with witnesses, I believe.
Posted 5 years ago # -
Ya'al K'Gam (Yud Eyin Lamed Chaf Gimmel Mem)
Yud alludes to Yiush (despair) without knowledge that the object was lost; it is not considered Yiush.
Ayin alludes to Edim Zomemim (they are disqualified retroactively).
Lamed alludes to Lechi (a vertical post to permit carrying in an alley,
Kuf alludes to a halacha in the sugya of Kidushin.
Gimel alludes to Giluy Da'as (showing desire) to nullify a Get.
Mem alludes to Mumar (a wanton sinner) who sins to fulfill his desires (not to anger Hash-m).Actually, there are two other possibilities for the Lamed, bringing the total to 8, but for some reason it's always counted as 6.

uh, I dont think I'm up to the challenge. I'm not proficient enough with these gemara terms.
Squeak, WHAAT?

mepal, what's not clear?
Posted 5 years ago # -
Well, NOW that you explain it all ;)

i think this thread shows proof that squeak vs mepal is the new squeak vs ames now! ;-))

mepal, sorry, I didn't think it would unless it is a Toshiba. They have a Fnesse program. I'm sure every other company has a different program that controls the Fn key. If you can figure out what it is you can remove it or disable it.
Did you check the start menu for the program? That would help. You don't have to change anything if you're not comfortable doing so, you could just look.

squeak, coming from a yekkish background, I know I should really be able to translate that on my own. But...can you help me out anyways? I think it might mean something I should know ;)
Posted 5 years ago # -
If you can figure out what it is you can remove it or disable it.
That's exactly my problem! Thats why I came here, I cant figure it out.
I'm gonna try with the start menu tonight and see what happens.

mepal-
Sorry, I don't know how to disable a Dell's "fn" key.
This is the type of thing that is manufacturer-specific and may even be model-specific.A couple of suggestions:
1) Google "disable Fn key Dell laptop". I tried this and a few links came up with suggestions. The very first link looked promising.
2) Call Dell. Their CSR's are generally helpful, knowledgeable, and understandable.Posted 5 years ago # -
ICOT, thanks! I think I got my answer. I'll try it tonight and let you all know if it works!

mepal: "squeak, coming from a yekkish background, I know I should really be able to translate that on my own."
A characteristic shared with squeak.
ICOT: "2)Call Dell. Their CSR's are generally helpful, knowledgeable, and understandable."
That's news to me. It was true once; but the Indians took over.

Bottom line, google and Microsofts translator couldn't help. Squeaky wasn't helping either. So I found out some other way! Either way, which one of us shouldn't worry?!?

Joseph-
I remember a few years ago Dell outsourced (some?) corporate support to India, and then had to return it to the U.S. because of problems.
I personally never owned a Dell, but I’ve dealt with their CSR’s when helping others with their computers.
My experience has been good.
I’ve recommended Dell to non-computer-literate relatives just based on Dell’s support level and they’ve been satisfied.
I’m sure there are dissatisfied customers, but I recommend them.My worst CSR comprehension experience was when I was helping a relative set up a wireless internet connection with a DSL ISP. I don’t remember if it was the phone company or router CSR, but I literally couldn’t understand his English. Fortunately, my brother-in-law understood him, and was able to “translate” for me.
Posted 5 years ago # -
ICOT: Sounds more likely to be the router CSR. I've never encountered foreign reps with any major telco. How was your B-I-L better able to understand?
Posted 5 years ago # -
Joseph - nischt geshtoigen, nischt gefloigen. I've said no such thing. I think you are recollecting past CR events erroneously. ROB asked me (a year ago), and I said no. areivim assumed, but since I was not asked I did not reply.
mepal - I was telling jax not to worry so much about me. It's nice of him to keep track for me, but completely unnecessary. In any case, I don't feel the need to replace friends, as I prefer to collect stackable friends.
Posted 5 years ago # -
squeak - I was thinking of when you mentioned you have yekkish family. But indeed you never said you are of yekkish background.
Posted 5 years ago # -
My question was if I should worry about the squeak v. mepal part. lol
Posted 5 years ago # -
Joseph-
"How was your B-I-L better able to understand?"
I have no idea, but I gratefully accepted his help.
Some people are just better at languages and/or deciphering accents.I work with people who have Russian, Chinese, Israeli, Indian, Pakastini, Philipino, English, Irish, South African and many more accents, but this particular CSR was the champ as far as unintelligibility goes.
Posted 5 years ago # -
Joseph, I don't like playing this game anymore. Feel free to post any hunches you may have about me, but don't pretend that I mentioned something.
Posted 5 years ago # -
Calm down, squeak. This is not good for your BP.
