also worthy of note on the movie, all good hackers are good rollerbladers, apparently. The bad sequel even had corporate jockeys riding skateboards around server rooms.

oh god it's like a bad made-for-TV movie ripping off terminator and ghost in the shell :gonk:
You know when projectors have no cable or the pc is off / Screen off it just shows blue.
Someone shouted at me saying "BEN LOOK AN BLUE SCREEN"
I walked off.

1. PING -w (number of milliseconds you want it to wait) -n 1>nul
2. wat
3. it should work as it is...
3.1. You realize Batch works on a line-by-line basis? When it's finished with one command, it takes the next one, if not instructed otherwise.
What you've written is basically IF %ignore2%== ioncannon GOTO accepted ELSE GOTO accepted.
Also, the COLOR command affects the entire screen, recommend you do CLS before that.
[QUOTE=elitehakor;20171681]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.)[/QUOTE]Exactly the same situation I'm in
I accidentally deleted an important windows file not too long ago. :frown:
I had caught a pretty bad virus (Antivirus Plus, so annoying) and I was trying to delete it, so I downloaded MalwareBytes and used it. It scanned my system32 folder and caught a bunch of viruses, so I deleted them. Apparently it deleted a .dll that told Windows that it's registered, and I couldn't do anything anymore.
I got Ubuntu from a neighbor and installed it, I needed a reformat anyways.

[quote=Bodnoirbabe]A blog called Read Write Web posted up a short article about how Facebook is going to join up with AOL and link the two so that when you log in to one, you log in to both. Harmless enough.
Then the idiots woke up, stumbled to their computers, managed to get it turned on, typed into Google "facebook login" to locate Facebook and clicked on the link to ReadWriteWeb. Then their world crashed in on them.
These special people of society thought they were at the real Facebook and that Facebook had changed itself dramatically. They didn't like it. All they wanted to do was log in and there was no place to do that...except the comment area. We know it's not a troll because the owner of the blog checked her traffic and it was indeed from people typing "facebook login" into Google.
The comments to the blog post are a goldmine of internet retards. Pages and pages of people complaining they can't log in and hate the way the new Facebook looks.
Despite the blog owner adding a paragraph in bold that their site is not Facebook, people still thought it was.[/quote]
Check the stupidity out for yourselves:

I find it hilarious that people are so dumb that instead of going to the Facebook homepage they decide to go to Google and search for "Facebook login", clicking on the first website they find which is an innocuous news story and trying to log in to their Facebook accounts through the comments. Now I know how scammers get people's information. Just look at the comments, there's over twenty pages of people going [B]I WANT THE OLD FACEBOOK BACK PLEASE LET ME LOG IN[/B].[/QUOTE]

FUCK not this guy. Why must I suddenly be bombarded by tardation :argh:
...I have to make a 'white pride' joke about his initial statements. FFFFffffffff...
original super mario bros, when HE was growing up, had 'replay value' because you HAD to replay the first two levels over and over because you could never sit any longer and play the damn thing before your parents turned it off or you died.
TRUE original gaming wasn't the mid 90's, kid, get off your nostalgia high horse and realize your brother's hand-me-down systems were older than you. God damn, I was already in school when I got my SNES. and... PLATFORMERS? Granted mario kicked everyone's ass in difficulty, but this guy needs to play... anything to actually form an educated opinion.
...wait, he's doing it again. "It's NOT about the GAMES!" "let me tell you about GAMES!"
and when the hell will he learn to make his video feed bigger than 1/8th of the screen... wait, nevermind. At least this time I'm not staring at an empty desktop on a MASSIVE mac whilst he talks about how screen size isn't important.
TL;DW
Opens with "Gaming is bullshit", rants for 7 minutes about how he'll play mario bros on the NES instead of a first person shooter, ends with calling himself a "mac-using asshole"... then, as always, does that sign-off where he crosses his fingers and says "O.S. TEYEN" like some kind of retarded gangster.

[11:13:15 AM] Ghost117: But im using Linux Ubuntu 9.10[/code]
Not illiterate but still funny. Happened on Skype, fucking spam bots get me every day.
a little story from my networking class:
two dudes were sent to setup a printer for [average computer illiterate], and it should have been all ready, but nothing was working. one dude tells the other to look behind the printer and check if everything is plugged in. the dude glances at it and says yeah.
after about ten more minutes of failure, the first dude(the one who didn't look) takes it upon himself to check the cables. what did he find plugged into the printer?
the usb cable was plugged into the console port...
and the console lights were on.

Even so, if I met a guy like him in real life, at least one of two things would happen:
1) I would talk him down so badly he would want to kill himself (which is on my list of things I want to do before I die)
2) Hit him and leave.

"A PC could never have better graphics than an xbox"
I thought he was joking. He was deadly serious. The same guy said MW2 was the best game ever and L4D2 was the worst game ever. He's like an IRL troll.

Aha, I've seen this guy. He was talking about Snow Leopard and Windows 7, he said that no visuals has changed in Snow Leopard but that doesn't mean it's the same OS. He then looked at Win 7 and said "well all I see is Vista". He's such a hypocrite.
About that video, all he does is say that every FPS is shite. So if I went up to him and said "hey you heard about that new action movie?", he'd say "Pfft, every action movie is the same thing with different actors". Then I'd punch him in the face.

Also, when I told my friends that I built my own computer, they treated me like a super-nerd. I told them it was easy, like a puzzle with instructions on how to solve it, but they won't listen. Unless you can just plug it in and go, they aren't interested.
What the fuck is wrong with people, seriously?

Also also, our graphics class got a fuckload of new computers to replace the stoneage ones we had. Being me I was excited and went to see the specs printed on the box. I saw they had windows vista, which was good because every computer in the rest of the school still used XP (which I was sick to death of). They all got set up and switched on. They had fucking XP on them. I asked our teacher why he downgraded them all.
"So the software can run, vista isn't compatible."
Fair enough I thought, until I saw that every program on the computer was compatible with vista. I facepalmed hard that day. It worries me that some teachers who teach you about computers don't really know much about computers.
-snip-
Most of my friends are pretty computer literate, we play Doom and Warcraft and most of us took programming classes.
But there was this one guy that I talked to.
Him: "The Mac is the only computer ever made that can run 1080p!"
Me: "Uh-huh. So how much did you pay for this magic computer"
Him: "$1,600"
Me: "And what resolution does it run (because I didn't believe his 1080p quip)"
Him: "1440"
as in 1440x1050
