Yeah. I was talking to my cousin, who works for tech support for an internet company.
We started off talking about PS3 modchips. I was talking about how a couple Aussies JUST released a USB key that would allow homebrew. (inb4 banned about wares?) He says, "Oh that's bullshit, you can't make something like that, Sony would recognize it as soon as you plug it in!"
Then it somehow moved onto 256-bit encryption (the shit the military uses) He then proceeds to say that "Oh, you can run a thing in Linux and unlock it in 5 minutes. Total fucking bullshit. I try to tell him it's impossible. It's not about the OS, it's about the processing speed/processor. He still doesn't agree with me, even though I KNOW I'm right.
After that, he is talking with my parents about how he can install Snow Leopard on a PC. Okay, yeah. I stated my opinion about how I'd rather not have an operating system that is designed for simplicity, and how I can't run lots of my games and programs on it, and I'm too lazy to dual boot. Oh, use WINE, he says. Whatever. I ask him why he finds a Apple OS so good. First thing he says is "OH THERES NO VIRUSES PL0X", then goes on a massive tirade on how its awesome for graphic designing, and movie editing. He doesn't do any shit like that.
I was also told that my PS3 couldn't see my computer as a media server because my OS was 64-bit. So I spent 4 hours downgrading to 32-bit. Still couldn't detect it. Then I moved it back to 64-bit. He proceeded to scold me that 32-bit was superior for processor architecture (I have a 64 bit processor), and that the unused ram in my computer due to restrictions from the OS goes to video card memory.
My parents suck this shit up like a vacuum. It's like my computer experience is thrown out the fucking window, and he's the new cool kid in school. It really pisses me off. I learned all my things my searching on Google, reading books, and hands on work. He pulls shit out of his ass.
Anyone got people like that in their family?
[b]TL;DR[/b] My cousin is a bullshitter and it pisses me right the fuck off. Anyone else got someone like this in their family?
Any techniques to ignore this shit, it really pisses me off.
kill him in his sleep
I have some in my family like that, what you should do, is make a powerpoint, and then face of at who is smarter, beat his ass.
rape him
Fill his computer with viruses.
Prove that you know more with fullproof facts - put him in a very compromising position, have cold-stone proof behind your back, question him, and when he gives you the wrong answer and your parents are all amazed, pull out your proof. Do this multiple times, and you'll be on top.
I hate people like that.

Okay.
I have a techy friend who explains most of this shit to me. He explained why that Mac, no virus add, was semi true.
Slap his shit
Tell your parents you actually study this kind of stuff and do something that will prove to them how you're right and your cousin's wrong. If all else fails you must kill your entire family. We can't let this spread.
I say when you argue, have something to back you up, if he doesn't believe any of it, kick him in the balls and call him an idiot.
You make all these statements about him being obviously wrong and you being right, then for some reason you follow his instructions to downgrade to 32-bit. Weird...
[b]Give him the gravity virus[/b]

Well, I forgot to add him saying that he had to do it with his laptop or else it wouldn't work.
Kill him and wear his skin and then kill your parents and wear their skin too so you may gain their powers.
Put a piece of shit inside a plastic Tupperware container and ask if he would like to buy it for $1,850. When he scoffs just tell him its the same thing as apple, Shit inside Plastic out.
For a sec I thought it was a parody of my thread. Yeah I know people like this.
At this point, they have accepted your cousin as the alpha male of all things internets.
All you can do now is masturbate into his cereal while he isn't looking. He will get pregnant and you can tell your parents that you 1028-bit RSA encrypted his testicles and that you are the dominant species.
Your parents will believe you since you said 1028-bit RSA encrypted.

ignoring him should help
lol 1028, take away 4, 1028 is bad.
Randomly confront him with a large amount of proof that he is wrong and see how it ends.
Tell your parents that he isn't knowledgeable with technology even though he think he is and that's he's very quite mistaken with some things.
funny thing is that sony does detect the modchip right when you plug it in. apparently the ps3 sends data to sony to let them know of recent changes or some shit (I skimmed a article about it but thats all i see)
people have been permabanned off psn already because of it.

but everything else he said is stupid.

It's because nobody uses that OS
You can duel-boot OSX on a PC and get the same effect (or, better yet, use the best antivirus: common sense)
Make a list of the wrong shit he's said. Copy it, staple it to everything he owns. Burn his computer.
Sounds like you know your stuff.
:colbert:
You could, you know, use evidence to support your claims, and also prove to your parents that he's pulling his facts out of his ass.
