I've repeatedly complained about the asus technical inquiry
webform on the asus forum without response. I even went
so far as to contact the webteam to advise them of this
problem.
I submitted a complaint on the webteams form, only
to receive an error message. so, I tried again, and
just now a dummy message apparently succeeded. So,
I don't know what to think.
here's a link to the complaint on the forum:
<http://vip.asus.com/forum/bbs.aspx?board_id=11&SLanguage=en-us>
at this point, all I'm looking for is *any* kind
of response from asus. asus support is so far
a total black hole, and that's being generous.
thank you,
Thufir
when submitting this message to the webteam, here's the error:
Server Error in '/' Application.
A potentially dangerous Request.Form value was detected from the client
(prodescsbox="...forum: <http://vip.asus.com...").
Description: Request Validation has detected a potentially dangerous
client input value, and processing of the request has been aborted.
This value may indicate an attempt to compromise the security of your
application, such as a cross-site scripting attack. You can disable
request validation by setting validateRequest=false in the Page
directive or in the configuration section. However, it is strongly
recommended that your application explicitly check all inputs in this
case.

so I don't get it. is asus trying to create a black hole for support
queries or are they unaware? for a tech company, it's not reassurring
to see error messages repeatedly generated by their webforms.
anyhow, maybe I'll eventually get someone on the webteam to contact
someone in technical support. Seems a bit byzantine.
Perhaps I'm not filling out the technical inquiry webform correctly.
However, since the asus webforms have a poor track record, as shown
above, I just don't know what to think.
mystified,

How long have you been suffering?
How many times are you going to make that same mistake?
I think you should try again again.
How did I know you weren't going to have a clue?
Hallucinatory.

You could always opt for ye olde argumentum ad baculum,

Do you find yourself agreeing with the opinions of people even when you
really think they are ridiculous?
Fuck off and die.

Try to see youself as someone who started out as a tiny, little infant, and
who will end life as a dried-up old prune.
How do you feel about compromise?
I am not so sure I can disable request validation by setting
validaterequestfalse in the page directive or in the configuration section.
Classic pontification by someone who is high-minded and overly idealist.
If you insist, hawat.thufir@gmail.com.
Classic pontification.

Whether someone is good or bad has nothing to do with understanding what's
really going on.

You're serious, aren't you, hawat.thufir@gmail.com?
Classic inability to identify an issue.
Neat trick, hawat.thufir@gmail.com. Embarrass yourself in front of everyone;
that'll teach 'em not fuck with you, eh.
Much worse.
Balderdash.
Your lover forgets your birthday. Do you accuse them of not loving you

Note to self: Do not respond.
Classic invective, as expected from someone who lacks a logical argument.
If you insist, hawat.thufir@gmail.com.
Deranged.

Denial of the antecedent. "A implies B, A is false, therefore B is false."

Deceitful.
Have you ever urinated in public while you were drunk?
Incorrect.
It could be worse; you could have got a cold instead.
Preposterous.

Petitio principii. Your premises are at least as questionable as the
conclusion you reached.
Would you ask a first date about their financial status?
Another unsubstantiated and erroneous claim.
It could be worse; you could have ejaculation problems.
Classic insecurity complex, as evidenced by your need to drum up support.
I really don't want to know, hawat.thufir@gmail.com.
If the premises are true and the conclusion false, the inference must be
invalid.
Do you subscribe to a TV guide?
Pompous.

No wonder you're such a miserable little creature, hawat.thufir@gmail.com.
Hypostatization, hawat.thufir@gmail.com. You have taken your own, weird

Here, have a box of tissues.
Have you ever get it?
Not really.
You should be more careful.
You think you will eventually get someone on the webteam to contact someone
in technical support, but you won't.
Absurd.
Have you ever made a photocopy of your arse?
Maybe you are filling out the technical inquiry webform correctly.
Do I look like I give a fuck what to think?
Fallacy of accent, hawat.thufir@gmail.com. Fallacy by shifting the meaning.
