I'm going to say this, and no one's going to listen. This thread is about people who think or act like they're tech savvy, and fail miserably. This could be smug kids saying their macbook could run Crysis on decent settings to garner attention, teachers at school spouting out things that make no sense and trying to get away with the "I'm the teacher, I'm right" excuse, or the usual haberdashery and whatnot.

[b]Posts everyone is sick of:[/b]

Laughing at normal people instead of actual tech-illiterate asshats:
"My friend said he has 1 terabyte of ram lolol"
"Someone said their 8800 video card is better than my 220GT turbo-derp, what a retard"

[b]stupid, repetitive, or extremely damaging pranks:[/b]
"I unplugged my friend's mouse at school and they had to call over a teacher, I'm so cool"
"I told my friend to delete system32 and he did lmfao"
[quote=Daijitsu]
[quote=shadowsniper873]Okay my turn. The idiot for our school's IT "department" (as they like to call it) gave me an admin account on the school network,(because he is retarded and thinks I wont notice) so I decide to fuck up everyone's files. Since everyone's files show up on the network drive, I delete everything from the word documents and copy and paste "I am a cock sucking fag!" and made every shortcut to a webpage "Rick Rolls" (since we are working on HTML there were about 5 on each account) and I delete all the files on the teachers account and replaced it with porn. So after i do all that shit we couldn't use any computers because "A virus got into the system and now we have to format them" (they format the computers every few weeks)[/quote]
And now every student who's files you just destroyed has to re-do their homework IF they have the time, possibly losing valuable information and weeks worth of hard time and effort. Teachers often ignore computer failure and file deletion as 'avoidable' and say you should have backed up your files and it's your own fault for losing it.

Now we have several students with otherwise good grades getting a massive dent in their records, losing several points on their GPA, potentially losing just enough (depending on the scale of the project you just fucked up 'for the lulz') to be denied future admissions to colleges, universities, jobs, and other high-profile opportunities that required him to get an A in a specialty class, but their final project worth that wonderful 10 to 20% of their final grade just got replaced with the text "I am a cock sucking fag!" and they e-mailed it out to their teacher without looking for such a freak change in their past two months' worth of work.

Their teacher, outraged by the 'obvious' act of defiance, fails them not only for the paper, but potentially marks them down even further, giving detention or suspending, or outright planting a 0 on their final grade.

but hey, at least you got a few rickrolls in, right?[/quote]

[b]Blind hatred or fanboyism:[/b]
People who say Macs suck are stupid and wrong
People who say PCs suck are stupid and wrong
"Macfags suck because apple sucks and they think they're better rage rage rage."
"PC sucks cuz Mac is better."

[b]Remember, tech illiterates ACT like they know things, but don't.[/b]

It's fun when they actually follow their own advice on tech when they have NO clue what they're doing, like the one guy who said "My keyboard broke, so we bought a new computer because it was easier", or just general idiocy, like the one 8.5 minute rant that, in short, was "PC cost too much for gaming, spend the money on consoles and TVs because I don't want to be locked away in a room, so buy a mac. OSX MOTHAFUCKAAA"

He actually peaced-out with "OSX." *gangsta-face*[/release]

[QUOTE=wingless;40172779]Oh Hey, Dai's around again.[/QUOTE]
yep, and I've got kind of a classic rant regarding work. long post so I'll just link it, tl;dr "design by committee behind my back, of important things for a [i]design[/i] business I'm pretty much heading up"

[url]http://daisura.tumblr.com/post/47141599222[/url]

also the higher-up I'm reporting to for business related things (he's OK but part of the group who chose the name) doesn't like 'my blue', IE any energetic 'electric' blue that pops against a dark background, usually with a tinge of cyan (pic in the post has heat-glow so it goes from a deep blue to a solid cyan, creating a better 'glow' but not being any one color). wants "more cobalt", pointed to a near-black blue finish on something for reference, but still wants it all on top of a dark schema. Not working. Need to push, have until tuesday to come up with more solid work on some concepts

wingless why do you hate python but like ruby? they're kinda similar

[QUOTE=Shadaez;40172826]wingless why do you hate python but like ruby? they're kinda similar[/QUOTE]

I don't hate Python, I just prefer Ruby. Python just has some weird things about that I don't find favourable. Most of the differences are preference, anyway.

[QUOTE=Chubbs;40173153]What school has Win8 dev stuff at it?[/QUOTE]

Lots of university offers contemporary development programs

[Protocol7]

It's a dude who's a software developer "evangelist" at the Microsoft branch in Colorado. Microsoft has a challenge to write Windows 8 apps for $100 a pop, and it's sponsored by my university's ACM chapter of which I am a founding member. So I'm shitting out a bunch of functionally useless apps for free money, because if there are two things I'm already an expert at, it's .NET 4.5 and XAML.

Best of luck with everything, hope it goes well for you and I look forwards to the new YT content!

[Warship]

I like making videos but I have no idea what types of videos I should do, if I ever started doing youtube work (which I'd love to). The thing about my life at the moment is that I love doing video work, but it is rare I get an opportunity/reason to do it.

[editline]5th April 2013[/editline]

And I have experimented a lot with videos so I have quite a bit of experience which is basically just going to waste :c
