I fixed the red eye on about 400 christmas pictures, got 50$ for about 2 hours of work.
I helped a friend pick out her new laptop, and got laid :smug:
Mom: GET IN HERE I HAVE A PROBLEM!!!!
Me: What is it.....
Mom: When I type, It's all in capital letters, I and when I hold the shift key, It type lowercase. Do we have any other keyboards? this one is wired backwards or something.
Me:*Hits Caps Lock* There.
Mom: OMG YAY!
*10 minutes Later*
Mom: It's back! I think i have a virus.
Me: *walks in with knife* *pops caps lock key off*
Mom: What did you do that for!?!?!
Me: The virus must be in that key, I removed it, the virus should be gone now.
Mom: Oh, Ok!
She has since discovered what the caps lock key does.

i'm typing in any class with a pc, not looking at the keyboard whilst everybody else is jabbing the keyboards with their fingers as if they were dead
kid next to me: HOW U TYP SO FAST
i always get some ridiculous idea
what i've said before
the truth: "I'm a complete nerd and I learn from experience because I do nothing apart from use my PC"
it's a genetic gift that only one in a thousand people have called fingoculosia
i've formed a meditational bond between myself and the keyboard
i have really fast eyes, i'm looking at the keyboard without you realizing
i used my little sister's v-tech learn to type[/QUOTE]
My answer is "You know that all I do is go on the computer, why are you asking me?"
Didn't do a PowerPoint or Word Document for class? Copy some random mp3, change it's file extension (or rename it if you have show extension in filename enabled) to myproject.doc or myproject.ppt
Should come up with an error (I.E: Invalid File Format) and you'll be off the hook!
Edit:

$300 Netbook

Dad believes apple make the best computers ever, he wants to get an iPad and I desperatley try to make him change his mind and get something better.
Was doing a project in my Grade 12 Info Tech class where I modded a computer case and then put it back together. We ended up using an empty room but halfway through the class, students came in to use the computers but the teacher let us continue (We were using the tables in the middle of the class while all the computers are against the walls). All the little kids were like "Wow, I wish I knew how to do that."
Which is ironic, because my aunt was directed by out-sourced Indian Tech Support to open up her computer and fix a problem, and nothing bad happened.
Computers: Simple.

I personally don't see anything wrong with iPad's or Apple company as a whole and I don't see why people diss it.

I kind of wanted to start an argument, but I we were in the middle of a game, and I was too focused to care.

That's as bad as getting Megablocks instead of Lego

Once, in american government class, I noticed that my teacher kept trying to start up her computer, but it would make an error tone, and she would shut it down and try again. Eventually, I looked over at it, and saw that it was getting some kind of error while booting up. My teacher noticed me looking, and asked if I could fix it. I said that I would try and proceeded to get a closer look. I don't remember the exact error, but it was something along the lines of time and date invalid or something like that. so I checked the time settings, and it was set to something like 00:08 o'clock, and the date was set to some time back in 2005. I simply set the date and time correctly and it booted up perfectly. I informed her that I was successful, and she said "oh you're a genius!" and everyone in the class clapped for me. I was all :smug:
My friends.
"WHY DUSENT MACK HAV RITE CLIK?!"
Mr. Brock was computer illiterate, but he did his best, and he learned alot of it from me.
Mr.Brock: I can't get onto the internet, I think the server is down.
Me: Let me look. (He has no cat5 connecting him to the School's internet)
Me: Well, you are missing a cat5 cable.
Mr.Brock: Is that serious?
Me: The school runs on landline server system, no cat5, no internet.
Mr.Brock: So what your saying is I got no line connecting me to the land, and I'm just floating off on my own little island over here.
Me: lol
I draw a wiring diagram on the dry erace board and he strips it and connects it to the RJ45's himself.
I made a gmod machinima video with a few friends for a french project, and one of my classmates recongnized the half life 2 setting and asked "Did you hack your xbox to do that? :downs:"
[QUOTE=Agent766;27026215]My teacher has no clue how to plug in our ELMO. It's something like a webcam on a mount that you can project papers through the projector. She spends half of the class trying to plug it in. I could say something, but I'm not going to do anything for a teacher named Mrs. Koch (pronounced "Cook" apparently).[/QUOTE]
Dude holy shit I have a teacher who's name is exactly like that.

I got in trouble for scripting little message boxes in notepad at school. The computer lab teacher thought I was hacking :eng99:
You would all cringe at the state of my laptop.

Not a bad analogy to accidentally come up with.

I can see it right in front of me:
Him: Which one should I pick?
You: That one.
Him: Take me, right now.
I went through almost the same experience as the OP but I told my mom that the site was a popup.

We have a ELMO also in our Geographic class.It is pretty neat when the teacher is not around :)
haha, a porn mode, surprised it didn't spark ur mum to ask more questions about Windows lol
My old schools I.T Department wasn't that great, they did the usual [I]try[/I] block everything, ect. However, you could use command promp, because blocking that would just be silly, to open up the hidden drives. Needless to say, changing the background pictures on every computer was rather fun, was even better when it got in the school announcements because we were apparently "defacing" school property by editing the logo.
They never found out we were doing it though, so all was well.
I have had my share of complaining about things not working, then discovering it was not plugged in. When I realize that the problem is it not being plugged in, I kick myself. Not literally. That'd be weird.
My grandma recently got a computer, and she has no idea how to use it. No idea what so ever. I decide to help her out, she's not too impressed with what I do, but thanks me anyways. I come back about 2 weeks later, she has tricked that sucker out. Sweet desktop, she even has Google Motherfucking Chrome. Alright, Grandma!
My grandma and grandad bought a laptop a while ago and thought to open something you hover over it with the mouse and press enter. I pity the tech support people :v:
My mom asked me to pause World of Warcraft, which would make some sense if she didn't know it was an mmo.

That should be a feature!

Too be fair it does look like it is selected when you hover over it
