[QUOTE=Eudoxia;20111614]You do that. While you're on it, install all of that in a Mac user's computer, and see how long it takes them to figure it out.[/QUOTE] Oh god, I just remembered my department got a 27" Imac to play around with, I am totally doing that one day. [QUOTE=Eudoxia;20111614] Then go get yourself a beer.[/QUOTE] Damn american drinking age, oh well I guess I could do that over at my boss's house.

[QUOTE=darkrei9n;20113934]I always find it fun to use print screen, paste it to paint, delete all the icons, set the task bar to auto-hide, than set the background to that image. Watch people's reactions and laugh ass off.[/QUOTE] I pick and choose which icons to hide, so that only a couple actually work. It throws them off even more.

[QUOTE=Kubi;20108905]Well, I installed Ubuntu on my laptop today. Installed Avant window manager (a Mac dock lookalike) and put the Mac default wallpaper on it.

[QUOTE=morrowind_lover;20058543] Now I have nothing against Windows however, Vista or as another of my class mates dubbed it Vishit, runs like a dog. My classmate later informed me that Vista was great for running Games when pressed as to the types of games that run really well on Vista he informed the class that solitaire had never had an issue.[/QUOTE] I've been running 64bit Vista ultimate since christmas, whitout a single crash. Steam runs great with all the games I have and it goes like a stabbed rat.

[QUOTE='[EG] Pepper;19925254' me: the laptop wont turn on, you got the charger? teacher: what? these laptops are new they dont need recharging me: uuh.. yes they do. New or not, they need recharging. teacher: dont be silly the bigger computers never need recharging (referring to desktops) me: thats because they are desktops and are constantly hooked to the mains, these are laptops, they have batterys, and this one needs its charger. Then finally she gave me the charger. it makes you wonder, how on earth do people like this get anywhere?[/QUOTE] I hope, when she finally gave you the charger, that you proceeded to unravel it from its coiled form, stretched it taut between your fists, and proceeded to do the world a favor by eliminating this taint to the gene pool.

[QUOTE=Fatfatfatty;20039583]srsly why do people prefer IE in front of FF or chrome?[/QUOTE] becuase we're like "hey you know what? im tired of ie7 lemme download firefox finally. just got my new win7 pc, so i havent done it yet." two days later... "oh yeah i was downloading firefox." downloads firefox "woa sweet look at how costumizable it is! i can change all these cool settings and stuff!" two days later "oh crap i forgot to make firefox my default browser. ill do it in a minute, still surfing FP" nine years later "whats firefox?" of course the world will have blown up by then but whatever.

All these .bat scripts are making me feel illiterate. :frown:
My dad is still convinced that using Internet Explorer is faster and safer than using Firefox. He's only tried it a few times, and when he couldn't figure out how to view the files he downloaded, he complained to me about how terrible it is, and made me reinstall Internet Explorer.... I really don't care now, if it makes him do his work faster, let him do it, but really, give it a chance.
Some people at my school firmly believe that the computer is ages behind the consoles, and that all computer graphics in games are terrible, and that the xbox is the top of the line in graphics processing, what a load of horse shit, my computer runs circles around an xbox.

Would it completely fill them if I used the 1,000 script?
[QUOTE=don818;20131811]Say I have a few terabyte hard drives raided? Would it completely fill them if I used the 1,000 script?[/QUOTE] No, standard registry size appears to be a few hundred MB so you'd only fill a few hundred GB. Bump the iterations up to 10,000 or 100,000 and then it would fill up pretty much any computer that isn't a professional file server or something. Even easier than the registry one (but shows much more activity in the cmd prompt window): [code]@ECHO OFF :LOOP ECHO "junk" >> file.txt GOTO LOOP[/code]
[QUOTE=Roast Beast;20131951]Even easier than the registry one (but shows much more activity in the cmd prompt window): [code]:LOOP ECHO "junk" >> file.txt GOTO LOOP[/code][/QUOTE] I might have to try this at school.
