VBA doesn't have AA.
Its texture filters and smoothers are a mean bunch, though, I mean you need over 9000 TiB of RAMs if you's gonna play dat fing.[/QUOTE]
Or at least unplug it at the wall when going to sleep.
My brother and sister were on the computer one day, watching some Eurovision crap, when I decide to be a big brother.
I open a new Chrome window, go on YouTube and put on Sad But True - Metallica and minimize it. Then my sister said "I'll just put it on again! Hah.", opened up a new Internet Explorer window, Bing'd the song they were looking for and clicked one of the "YooToob" video.
But since Chrome was still running, Sad But True was still playing. My dad had to help them exit the damn window and then laughed with me.
The fact that they're only 7 and 6 is completely irrelevant.

Friend: My laptop can run MW2
Me: Cool, how much did you get the laptop for?
Friend: $800
Me: What's your processor?
Friend: I'm not telling you that
Me: C'mon
Friend: Fine... an Intel Atom

So I have to do a presentation about what I want to do with my life (where I want to live, go to college, do as a job) and I need to do some cool demonstration related to the job I am looking into for the presentation. What is a cool thing that is related to computer IT stuff that could be done in a five minute presentation?

Or like 15 minutes

X11 tunnel a powerpoint presentation or something from home.
Better yet do the whole presentation from home using remote access tools.
Just make a video of yourself disassembling a PC and saying the names of the parts and explaining what they do.

Or do it live in front of everyone.

This, I've always wanted to do something like that.

My friend said that the only way to get a decent computer is to pay £800. Even I know that is poppycock.
[QUOTE=nVidia;20021195]Why would he refuse to tell his CPU in the first place? :raise:[/QUOTE]
He was scared that someone might download it.
[QUOTE=DiscoInferno;20026974]My friend said that the only way to get a decent computer is to pay £800. Even I know that is poppycock.[/QUOTE]
Well that really depends on what he means by decent, if he means a high-end PC then he isn't completely wrong (though I'm not sure of the PC parts' prices in the UK, so I can't know exactly how much 800£ is for a PC).
Though in that case he is using the word "decent" to describe something that should be described with the word "good", so he's wrong anyway I guess.
I'm taking a Web Design course. My teacher today was talking about browsers and said that Google & Yahoo are browsers.
:sigh:

[QUOTE=ManningQB18;19920380]My friend, who built a beast of computer a few weeks ago, says: "Internet Explorer is way better than Firefox and Chrome, it's so much safer!"[/QUOTE]
At least chrome tells me to get the fuck out of that page if theres a virus. Plus it makes it easier to download stuff, and you can track it at the bottom. I don't have firefox, but I already know it has its advantages. Using normal IE is like trying to go through 100 porn sites with no virus protection.

Chrome gives you everything you need to sail the oceans of the internet.
Firefox gives you the tools to sail the oceans of the internet. (Downloadable addons ect.)
Internet explorer gives you a life preserver and says good luck.

Firefox gives you a hovercraft, lifetime supplies, and a shipyard full of tools. I can't speak for Chrome, but the little I've tested it has really put me off.

old pc's are fun. I have something like a "false nostalgia" for them.

I think he meant a computer that can run Fallout 3, since that was what we were discussing at the time.

This is propagated by mactards.
When my IT teacher is explaining how to copy and paste something (as if we didn't already know how) she says. "Okay, all you have to do is rightmouseclick and then paste it in here."
She says it quickly and emphasizes the 'mouse' part, the one part I think we all fucking understand. Seriously, I'd think everyone who knew how to copy/paste was familiar with the only 2 mouse buttons for-fuck-rage.
Quite a few examples.
My nephew had me build him a computer, I asked how much ram he wanted, he said 1000gb.
My brother didn't buy a computer from a guy because it only had 3gb on the harddrive. (He thought the RAM was the hard drive.) Not funny. Just contributing.
As for the MAC VS PC argument. I'm rocking windows for gaming, and I like to be able to fix/build my pc's without the parts or the computer itself costing me my life savings. But MACS are so much safer, and for the computer illiterate, and for business types. They are the way to go, but I'M NOT SAYING MAC USERS ARE COMPUTER ILLITERATE, AND I'M NOT SAYING I'M A COMPUTER GENIUS. I'm just saying if you are buying a computer for the first time and have the money to spare, go mac so you don't fuck it up.

Option B: Never go into the system 32 folder, and don't download a 674MB .exe file that says it's a toolbar for IE.
My neighbor just gave me a computer that he doesn't use that comes with Windows XP pro on it, and he bought and loaded windows ME on it. What the fuck.
