OP is genius. Next time some confused mother comes to me asking about "porn mode" on her computer, I'll just tell her the same thing you said.

Just tell her it's a pop-up.
Zip up a load of files
Rename zip file to My Assignment.doc

When i was in school our school portal where we handed in assignments wouldn't say if you entered your password in wrong, it just refreshed the page.
So one day in BTEC IT no one had done the ultra mega final report and I figured out this little bug on the portal, so i informed everyone and when it came to class, everyone just entered their passwords in wrong and this baffled the Teacher so much she had the portal shut down for a month for 'repairs'.
Good times.

And then too ignorant to notice that she probably didn't want to start shit with you and said ok!
[QUOTE=Bletotum;26280102]I told my sister that the reason my history was full of porn was that when a popup blocker stops a popup, it logs the popup's address to the history.[/QUOTE]
That is at least sort of semi-believable. The OP was pretty lucky his mom bought the porn mode stuff.
When I was still at school, I ended up doing everyone's Graphic Design projects for them because I was the only one who knew how to use Photoshop.
I sabotaged their projects and made mine the best.
I said I had to get to a "save point" in HL1 :v:

[QUOTE=leadpumper;26278399]Save all of my projects on a flash drive, in front of the teacher. When a paper is due, tell the teacher I accidentally left it on my desk this morning.
No points lost for doing papers the night they're due and then turning it in late :smug:[/QUOTE]
I remember one time I took a .png file and changed it to "Geography Project Report.doc", and emailed the corrupt file to my teacher. That was a Friday. Then she was like "Hey, your file was corrupt. Could you email it to me again?" and I was like "Oh yeah, no problem." and she was like "Thanks."
Got a free weekend to work.
One time my Mom was on facebook talking to my cousin. Wanting to screw with her I got my ipod out and went on the facebook app and procceded to give instructions to my cousin.
"compliment her on her baby blue shirt"
"okay"
"thats a nice blue shirt"
"wHAT? hOW DID YOU KNOW THAT?"
"it goes really well with you're earrings"
I told her to compliment her on the various things she was wearing and convinced my mom that their was a camera that was always on the computer when you went on facebook. She bought it, but only for a short while.

This other time my Mom was just getting into the concept of E-mail. She couldn't stop asking me constant questions about the most basic things, like how you open your inbox. The next question came, "How do I open my inbox?". Looking savvy I got up and grabbed my gaming mic from the hook it hung on. "Well" I said "Since we have a mic you can use the voice commands" I leaned in and pretended to type in some random shit on the keyboard extremely fast, "okay, there its ready". I handed her the mic, "Say 'open inbox'"
"Open inbox"
"It didn't work, try saying it slower"
"OOOPPPPEEEENNNN INNNNBOXXXXX"
I chuckled by this point and she caught me.

If you've ever actually read that thread you'll realise that it's basically become Computer Help Central.
Also, the original purpose was about computer illiterate people [i]who think they know things[/i], which is a key differentiation from this thread.

On a related note, computer inept people are generally incapable of using Google properly.
For our high school Photography class, we had a project that we take a picture that is related to the lyrics of the song. So when other people reviewed the picture, they would listen to the song and that person created a Word document with the lyrics in it.
However, this one kid next to me, was reviewing this one guy's song. But they guy accidentally didn't put the title of the song with the lyrics so the kid next to me didn't know what the song was so he could look it up on Youtube. The other guy was out in the bathroom so he wasn't there. I just told the kid that he could copypasta the lyrics into Google and he would most likely find the song, since odds are, its the only song that has those exact lyrics. But apparently that concept was too hard to grasp so he instead waited 10 minutes for the other guy to take a shit instead of copy pasting the lyrics into Google that would have taken 15 seconds.
Its maddening that people won't use Google when its RIGHT THERE. And he installed Chrome so its not it would have taken a ton of effort paste it into the search box.

I still have to turn on our surround sound system for my sister and mother. They are getting better at it, but they usually forget to turn on the sub-woofer.
What's wrong with the computer illiteracy thread?

[QUOTE=FinalHunter;26278547]In Middle School, teachers used to call on me to plug in the projector cause they didn't know how.
They called me out of class so I could plug it in... Jesus christ. Where else would the wide blue plug go, other than the only input wide enough for it to fit in?!?
Common sense people..
EDIT: The advantage of mine was, getting out of class.[/QUOTE]
Hell yah I did that for my football coaches while back
He had me move his projector and laptops to classrooms so the team coudl review plays and stuff and I burned dvds of film.
It was the only position I was starting at :(
