Hopefully the moron who did the listing hasn't caught this yet.

Holy shit that is a perfect revenge!  Looks like the auction has ended.

Here is the translation..
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sorry for the unpleasant Striften in the picture, I dared itself and with the fact overlooked into a new area of the HTML programming inside that I load the bandwidth of another with an other left. Artist pitch. Will not no more occur. Sorry again. I add myself its own camera.
_________________________________________________________________
Although I apologized for the beginner error hoeflichst, the owner of the pictures remains uneinsichtig. Please ignores the two upper pictures. The picture down is preserved however. How processors and the remainder look, each professional along-increases here to think to be able, that. It is described no unknown commodity and so far well. I answer gladly further questions by email. The memory is from Kingston. Please regard to you my evaluations, in order to estimate my Serioesitaet.

[:D] Does that douche really think that by posting he's sorry on his page that somehow or another it makes it okay? Did he expect you to change it David just because he said he was sorry but left it there? What a total freaking moron. Gay midget porn would have been good too.

Man!  That translation is almost as funny as the pictures posted!

"Will not no more occur.  I add myself its own camera"

DavidC, why must you be so uneinsichtig?

LOL!

Ihr ganzes Motherboard sind gehören uns.

German for:

All your motherboard are belong to us.

[:D] LMFAO!!!
That Rules! Great way to get back!

Not my pics. A friedn sent that to me.

the bad grammer is the Translation matrix's fault. it will convert words but not make it grammaticaly correct from one language to another.


oh btw... never as a girl in german "Are you cold?"  this doesnt mean in german what it does in english.... you just asked her if she was frigid/sterile. the proper grammer is "does it feel cold to you?"


a friend learned this lesson the hardway. he sahs she had a look of shock for a few seconds at the question.. then when she saw his face(his look of total confusion from her expression.. it was cool out, 55 or so he thinks) she started laughing realzing what the american had ment.

This guy I know was looking at Trans Ams on Ebay and he saw his Trans Am!!! A Mecham (sp?) TA #4!!! He tried to get something done about it, and Ebay did nothing. The guy said he had a basic Trans Am for sale and was posting a pic of something similar since he had no camera-- YEAH RIGHT-- the look is TOTALLY different than you average TA (hood, tail, etc.)!

I know.  I'm pretty familiar with German.  I could read his auction without the translation, I just thought the translation was really funny.

It kinda feeds the impression that that guy is an idiot.

[;)]

Proper translation (still strange, why the hell would that guy expect the owner of the pictures to have insight into this seller's "needs"?)

Am 05.09.02 um 15:00:12 MESZ hat der Verkäufer die folgenden Informationen hinzugefügt:
Sorry für die unangenehmen Striften im Bild, ich habe mich in ein neue Gebiet der HTML Programmierung hinein gewagt und dabei übersehen, daß ich mit einem fremden Link die Bandbreite eines anderen belaste. Künstlerpech. Wird nicht mehr passieren. Sorry noch einmal. Ich lege mir eine eigene Kamera zu.

At 9/5/02 the seller added the following information: I'm sorry for the ugly pictures, I tried a new area of HTML programming and didn't realize I would use somebody else's bandwidth that way. Bad luck, Won't happen again. Sorry again. I'll buy my own camera.

Am 05.09.02 um 19:48:24 MESZ hat der Verkäufer die folgenden Informationen hinzugefügt:
Obwohl ich mich für den Anfängerfehler höflichst entschuldigt habe, bleibt der Eigentümer der Bilder uneinsichtig.

Despite me having politely apologized for my beginner's mistake, the owner of the pictures doesn't see the error of his ways.

Eh? Like it was the owner of the pictures who has to change his stuff or what?

The idiot stole the pic (and the web host site) from My homeys at [url=http://www.2cpu.com]2CPU.com[/url]

Serves the jerk right...BTW, DavidC, what's your handle on the 2CPU Forums?
