give him a graphics card (preferrably a shitty/cheap one because he will break it) and tell him to put it in his laptop

He also added that i'm a "computer n00b who writes sex programs to fap to." I'm not sure what that means.

Oh I've got a good one. So this dude that owns a dental lab had for a few weeks been getting me to work on his computers (PCs running Vista, 7 wasn't even heard of yet). One day, he calls me in and I see a giant 21" iMac sitting on his desk. I ask him what it is he needs me to do (since I'm a PC/Windows specialist with only a moderate knowledge of OS X). He tells me that the other day, he was reading about how viruses can install themselves on PCs and steal everything he types. This is quite an issue since this computer is also used as the billing computer. So what does he do? He went out and bought the Mac, because "Macs never get viruses." I figure it's best not to correct him, since "the customer's always right" (plus I get paid $40 an hour). So then he tells me what he wants me to do. He wants me to install Windows, since the Apple Store employee said that you can do that now (this was around the time Bootcamp was coming out of beta). I tell him that I'll do it, but I ask why he bought the Mac if he was just going to put Windows on it when he already had a brand new PC. He says, "Well, because it'll be on a Mac, then Windows can't get viruses anymore, right?" I couldn't resist the urge. I facepalmed and let off a satisfying smack when I did so. I then spent the better part of an hour ($40 more dollars, yay) explaining how viruses work, the difference between Macs and PCs, and the difference between OS X and Windows.
This was a conversation I overheard at school today. Guy1: Hey are you gonna be on facebook later? Guy2: Yeah why? Guy1: I might need some help hacking my hard drive tonight. [b](???)[/b] Guy2: Oh ok. I don't even know what they are thinking.

It's really kind of sad too, most of the people at my school are pretty literate.
[QUOTE=DesolateGrun;20141720]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. EDIT: Are you me? Or am I you? That's what they called me.[/QUOTE] I fucking hate those people who think MW2 is "teh bes gamez in teh verse" I WANNA FUCKING HIT THEM WITH THAT :fuckoff: HAMMER.
My buddy wanted to install the Adobe Flash free trial. After it displayed that he did not have enough free space, he said that the folder he installed it in was too filled.
Well, I was trolling an Facebook group about COD, saying that PC was better (not that it isn't, I find it superior in every way) [B]BUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUT[/B] They deleted my posts. So I shall now present to you the whole conversation (bear with me, this isn't word-for-word, as I vaguely remember what the person said. The wall post was deleted shortly after) Original wall post: lol pc is for fags ps3 and xbox 360 is the best. if you play on wii=FAIL! My response: "You probably have a shit computer that most likely couldn't run Wolfenstein, let alone MW2, so you make fun of PC users because of that. PC is superior in every way to gaming, and you have no proof that it isn't." His response: "i have the most high-end gaming computer out there, with an i10 processor, a ram of memory, and a silicone fan. 360 has better graphics, so why dont you just stfu for once." My response: "You obviously have no idea what you're talking about." Him again: "haha i dont because my dad built it me." Me: "Holy sweet mother of God, your dad built it you? Shit, I just got owned." He didn't respond after that :v:
good one, you don't look like a nerd at all
[quote=boobenmyre]a silicone fan[/quote] He has someone who loves breast implants? WHO DOESN'T?! :haw: [editline]1:11[/editline] High five, your name is BOOBenmyre.
[QUOTE=Boobenmyre;20167988]a ram of memory[/QUOTE] What a genius. He's clearly qualified to weigh in on the whole PC versus console debate. [editline].[/editline] Also, I wonder why so many people on the internet talk like this. Does it really take that much time to type like you aren't illiterate?
[QUOTE=broo20;20167768]I fucking hate those people who think MW2 is "teh bes gamez in teh verse" I WANNA FUCKING HIT THEM WITH THAT :fuckoff: HAMMER.[/QUOTE]lol, I have mw2 and would rather play frogger :dance:
Not really related to the thread subject, buy yay I converted a console gamer to PC gaming and convinced him to get a gaming rig (and I'm well on the way to convert another one too).
[QUOTE=acds;20169550]Not really related to the thread subject, buy yay I converted a console gamer to PC gaming and convinced him to get a gaming rig (and I'm well on the way to convert another one too).[/QUOTE] perfectly relevant, it means there is still hope amidst the illiterate.
[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] Opposite at my school. They believe PCs are ahead if you spend more than $1000 USD. :frown:

[QUOTE=acds;20169550]Not really related to the thread subject, buy yay I converted a console gamer to PC gaming and convinced him to get a gaming rig (and I'm well on the way to convert another one too).[/QUOTE] I'm in the process. My friend has a high-end computer (he and his uncle built it together) and i'm trying to get him to buy Bad Company 2 for the PC and to get Steam again. He says he rather play 360 cause that's what most of his friends play. I don't blame him. Also he just got Battlefield 2. (he got it illegally from the same guy who pirated photoshop and told everyone on facebook.)
This guy in most of my classes says that he can hack banks and that one time someone hacked his myspace and he had to press f11 to get it fixed. From that point it was like " you had to type 5 secret words, Love, God, Wisdom, Heart, Warm" I basically told him that he was a fucktard and that those words don't relate to hacking his myspace back in anyway.
All this talking about how 360's are shit for gaming compared to a decent PC makes me feel bad... My PC is fucking dead (it was shit anyway) so if I'm playing any games it has to be on the 360...
