In 1st year Adobe Indesign and Photoshop
in 3rd year High School they are teaching them Visual Basic
In 2nd year Dream Weaver
In 4th Year More Visual(now they tackle rendering in 3D and shot)

Before I started to get really interested in computers I thought that was the case.
[QUOTE=elitehakor;20132066]I want to try this at school too, but we have a smart computer teacher and she blocked CMD :saddowns:[/QUOTE]
IIRC blocking cmd doesn't block .bat files, try it out :v:
Oh, and I forgot the best part of all: put @ECHO OFF at the beginning of any of those HDD-filling scripts and all they'll show while running is an empty cmd prompt window :ninja:
[QUOTE=Roast Beast;20131951]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]
That's no fun...
THIS is fun:
[code]@ECHO OFF
:LOOP
ECHO "junk" >> file.txt
SET /A i=i+1
if %i% LSS 1000 GOTO LOOP
ATTRIB +R +S +H file.txt[/code]
That's, by the way, what the script I got does too, except they fill the files with nothing. Enough nothing to take up 10 GiB. When there isn't enough space left, the file size is divided by 10, and the process repeated. That means that there will not be a single byte left on the HDD, and that there is no way to delete them (unless you know how, which I personally don't) but to reinstall the OS.
[QUOTE=benzinxrm;20130243]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.[/QUOTE]
First off, you need to determine the leader of this idiocy (usually they have a "leader", most of the time it's the "1337 pr0" kid that has the best stats on Halo 3 or something). Then you show him facts (be it spec sheets or video comparisons between 360 and PC) in front of his band of fanboys.
Once he finds himself in front of numbers he won't be really able to argue (unless he wants to argue against the numbers, in which case he'll look like an idiot).
It worked for me in my old school, showed the lead fanboy some spec sheets and video comparisons, all he said was "fuck you!" and ran away. Never heard a single "360 is better than PC" ever again when I was around.
A momentary bit of stupidity on my part. I was just surfing Facepunch, and my computer slows down to a crawl. To the point where music in iTunes was stuttering and Firefox kept on saying it had crashed. My dad was in the room and suggested a potential virus, so I open up Task Manager, and notice my RAM usage is +90%
About 2 seconds later I realize I was burning a 4GB ISO to a DVD. (Before anyone asks about warez, it was a Visual Studio disk image I got via Dreamspark). I had completely forgotten that I had set that DVD to burn a few minutes before :downs:
Most of my friends are pretty good with computers, there's been this little war waged with the IT guys, we try to use their systems in an unintended way, they patch things up. For example, last year I managed to Remote Desktop into the server they were using for all the school computers (we have one somewhat powerful server and a whole bunch of shitty HP Thinconnects), they patched that (as well as several other stuff) over the summer, now we are trying to pull the OS off the thinconnects and boot into them on another partition in our laptops to get past whatever check they have to allow Terminal Service rights to the school computers, but not to any other clients.
That's besides the point though, most of the kids at my high school have rich parents who will buy them a new mac every time they release another design. There's this one kid who just got a droid and decided to wave it around everywhere, and decided to reformat and reactive the phone roughly 20 times a day. Eventually I asked him why, he said something about not being able to find porn or something. Two issues with that: 1 - this was at school, they require NTLM login and can track every page you visit by your account you login with. 2 - quick formats don't delete files. Sadly he didn't listen and proceeded to reformat 3 times in 10 minutes, yelling out each step while standing right next to me. :bang:
Some of my friends thinks the new Facebook layout is a virus.
so i was talking about my internet being a bit slow latley and some pages has refused to load and someone suggest that they might be blocked, i say that there would be a message if it was blocked and that i would have used a proxy server if it was blocked and then this kid asks "do you have to have an internet connection to use a proxy?" :downs:

oh god... every time a new facebook layout is released, even if it's the most minor and unnoticeable of updates, thousands of retards roar in anger as they create fifty different "I HATE THE NEW FACEBOOK LAYOUT!" and "ONE MILLION TO GET TEH OLD FACEBOOK BACK!" groups.
Oh god, the notifications are in a more convenient location, WHAT WILL WE DO?! :byodood:
on the note of facebook groups, has anyone else noticed that EVERY group that has the word "Your" or "You're" in it... ALWAYS has the wrong one? I like it when a group defeats itself with that fact at times... [url=http://www.facebook.com/pages/No-Your-Wrong-So-just-sit-there-in-your-wrongness-and-be-wrong/313207479814?ref=ts]*cough*[/url]

Well, I gotta admit that I miss the 2007 layout. I just hope FB is less buggy now.
I cant stand social networking to begin with. it's as if someone took the worst parts of all online communities and put them in one spot.
[QUOTE=limulus54;20137462]I cant stand social networking to begin with. it's as if someone took the worst parts of all online communities and put them in one spot.[/QUOTE]
I can't stand social network TARDS, but I love the networks. I think referring to that Gandhi quote from earlier works well.
Facebook is/was useful for its intended purpose- NETWORKING BETWEEN OLDER STUDENTS. None of that flashy and annoying myspace crap, no layouts, no stupid spam, and a readable layout. it was good for a while, but then the 10 year old kids got a hold of it and started whipping out groups and "quizzes" and polls and stuff... then the parents started to join, and all the political groups started popping up, along with the twitter-esque shitposting...
I've thankfully managed to keep myself in a small bubble of ACTUAL friends that I actually still talk to (80 ACTIVE friends), and most of them have the same outlook as me when it comes to the real purposes of the damn site; [i]communication[/i]

if you feel illiterate and want to learn, then just open up the command prompt and type <command> /? and everything will become clear. I was totally illiterate just three months ago, but the batch language is very well-documented.
Discussion on Facebook:

Hehehe more Doom madness
Setup- Me and my friend went to school early, in the media center playing doom on LAN. Also this really creepy kid sat behind us and commented on our game.)
Douchy 7th grader- WUT UP LOL, WUT UP DIS SHIZ!
Me- not again, it's doom. Get the Hell out of here.
kid- Make me loser.
Me- (Now being at least half a foot taller than him and a hell of a lot older, I stand up) Go now.
Kid- Runs to my friends computer, pushes the power off button, and all 3 off them dash off, before I reacted.
So in the end unless I am playing MW2, I am going to completely receive crap from kids in my school until I'm out. And since we were on LAN, the game crashed for me when his computer turned off.

I hate people who think that just because a game isn't the newest most fantasticest thing since sliced bread, with the latest orgasm-inducing graphics, it is complete shit. I know someone who immediately dismissed TF2 because "the graphics are shit".
Why don't you just kill them?

I'd fucking smear him on the walls. No seriously, I'd transform into a rhino of pure rage and gore him.
Next time he gets near you, slap him hard on the back of the neck (that's what we did in my last school) or grab the back of his underpants and pull hard (we called it a anus-splitter, hurts like fuck).

Speaking of crashing:
on our schools last LAN party (yes, the school arranges LAN parties :buddy:), I hosted an age of Empires 1 game. However, as my laptop wasn't entirely stable at the time, it crashed. I yelled out "Sorry, guys, I crashed" to the other seven players, and they were like "wut". Apparently, the Genie engine works decentralized, so nobody noticed anything except me "surrendering".

Probably, they'll say I sent them a virus because I was jealous or something and that was the reason for their PC fucking up. I'm unsure if to waste 30 minutes to educate them about stuff like this or if to just say "Yeah I'm a blackhat hacker since I was 10, don't fuck with me" (blackhat hacker sounds a lot more advanced than hacker, so it scares them more).
Then they'll go on wikipedia and search "blackhat hacker" and get scared shitless (if they do, I'm going to ask them a tribute of gold on AoC every week, they might actually sent said tribute). Then after some time they'll realize how dumb they were.
[QUOTE=Wikipedia/Black hat hacker;20142234]are hackers who specialize in unauthorized penetration.[/QUOTE]
They are going to think you rape computers...they will be frightened.
A friends computer had shat itself, so my dad found some thermal paste to repair the burns or shit. and is sitting in my room, and my brother comes in, asking if he could borrow a shirt. I say no, and he walks over explaining why he should. he sees the harddrive covered in the paste, and touches it.
Him: "What the fuck this thing is hot!"
Me:"Oh, yeah dad said that it might get hot. I don't know why though."
Him: "Wait is this toothpaste?"
Me: "What?"
Him:*lick*

I was late getting home so I asked my friend if she would lend me her phone to call my mum and tell her I'd be home soon.
She was convinced I only wanted her phone so I could hack it. I got home and was grounded for a week.
At school the next day I backhanded her. Not hard, playfully, but still a backhand

What school do you go in?
This happened in my class today.
Some lazy ass guy didn't hand in his coursework task and he was wondering how to print from the text editor we were using so the teacher said "file print" and I watched him scan the entire keyboard end to end before he said "there isn't a fileprint button sir!"
