Computer illiterate people who think they know things V6 - How many GHz does my USB have? - Hardware & Software

[release][B]This thread, it's rules, and other things you may wanna know.[/B] :siren:[B]Unfunny bullshit nobody cares about:[/B] "[I]Derp my friend totally said he had 1 gigaflop of ram huhuh so funny[/I]" "[I]My friend calls Flash Drives for USB's[/I]" "[I]Teacher at school says Macs are better :downs:[/I]" We've all heard these a gazillion times, and it's getting old. :siren:[B]The overall purpose of this thread:[/B] Do you have a teacher who's trying to act smart by telling you how his hard drive does 11,000 RPM in 4th gear? Have you tried telling him that hard drives doesn't have gears, and yet [I]"he knows better than you"[/I]? Well this is the place to be. Share your stories about smart-ass wise people, and let's all get a great laugh out of it! :siren:[B]What is _NOT_ funny, and should _NOT_ be done:[/B] There's nothing funny about "[I]Lol I flicked the PSU's voltage switch at school. It blow up, and some kid got detention for it :woop:[/I]" and you're ruining people's educations and jobs. A great example of our reactions to this type of dickery: [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) Fun week for me[/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] Telling your friends to delete System32, unplugging cables and watching people response, or other type of dickery, will be dealt with, as it's not only unfunny but also a destructive manner. [B]:siren:Nothing is better, it's all opinions.[/B] Don't come in here to tell us that "PC is better than Mac" or "Mac has no games :downs:" as you're going to get banned. In here, we're all even, until a brand releases a DVD Re-winder v2, then it's okay to bash it.[/release] [release]~~[B]The box of awesome[/B]~~ Do you think you have the story of the year?

This thread can be locked, the post limit was increased towards 5000, the old thread is still good (Good looking OP though).

This is just sad. Even after it was raised and threads were going over 50 he still doesn't notice.

[QUOTE=xxncxx;23669848]This is just sad. Even after it was raised and threads were going over 50 he still doesn't notice.[/QUOTE] I made a new topic when we hit 2,000 posts :argh: Didn't know it was increased :crying:

Live and learn.

Why did it get increased to 5000? 2000 is too much clutter as it is, so I think this thread's fine.

Lower the thread count I guess.

I had a V6 OP prepared, but since it didn't autolock, this should be locked

wasnt it supposed to be "clocked to 11:00 AM?" [editline]12:16AM[/editline] the post count was increased because of v100 minecraft thread approaching

I vote tools new OP anyway, because of how awesome this OP is. Good job, Tools!

How long does it take for people to learn that the maximum posts in a thread was changed?

[QUOTE=B1N4RY!;23676863]How long does it take for people to learn that the maximum posts in a thread was changed?[/QUOTE] God forbid we don't know each and every little thing that gets changed. [editline]11:21PM[/editline] OP: I feel for ya. I didn't know about the increase either.

Anyone else keep getting logged out?

[QUOTE=codenamecueball;23681043]Anyone else keep getting logged out?[/QUOTE] I think I have been.

I've been logged out thrice.

It seems like you forgot that we already have a thread.

I got logged out once,

"Do hard refreshes break your computer?"

I like this OP, much more tidy.

My friend's mum tried to use the CD drive as a coffee holder. ofcourse it snapped
