[QUOTE=daijitsu;20352536]haven't seen it yet, actually.[/QUOTE] Yeah, well, it's kinda like that.
[QUOTE=neos300;20351158]What was even funnier about was he was typing up a document at word at school. All our computers use windows :ohdear:[/QUOTE] Which brings me to a different point, a lot of people seem to make the mistake of thinking that word and/or office are standard features that come with Windows

[quote]Just a quick head's up: We've seen a number of trolls join up just recently. It seems that there is a semi-coordinated effort from another forum, judging by the link-backs I'm seeing. If you see a troll, please don't engage them. Just report the post (using the "!" button next to the post) and we'll bounce them out of here very quickly and remove any posts. Thanks in advance for your assistance in helping to keep the forum clean.

I'm fairly inept at most computer functions, other than surfing and basic photo stuff. We just got our first mac a few weeks ago. I see some talk about "flash", and "clicktoflash" etc... What is this "flash"? And "clicktoflash"? Is it something that will enhance my web experiences? Please help me understand. Aaron [/quote] :downs:
[QUOTE=The freeman;20362083][url]http://www.facepunch.com/showpost.php?p=20362051&postcount=55[/url][/QUOTE] He's got a point, a lot of the functions that are "ALL NEW!!!" in DX11 has been in OpenGL for years (*cough*tessellation*cough*). Although since DirectX is more supported by the industry, it's naturally the more developed one.
All people at this lan are stupid, they think i'm hacking just because i use batch scripts

I never really understood the fear of viruses that illiterates (and sometimes literates) have. Ok you get a virus, so? It's not like it's going to jump out of your screen, kill your dog and rape your cat. Unless you have vital stuff on that PC, but no one I've seen panic for a virus had anything important on the hard disk.
It's a pain in the ass. Frustrating. Etc

[QUOTE=Vexont;20376725]Mention kernel panic.[/QUOTE] did, also 'sad mac' and 'the bomb'. They're older, but still prove the point once the idiot finally decides to google despite knowing just how wrong I am. :rolleyes: [editline]1:11[/editline] fun fact, the Sad Mac image shows up when you crash a window in google chrome. :buddy:

My friend's dad bought a pc case and was wondering why it didn't work.
[QUOTE=johanz;20381786]My friend's dad bought a pc case and was wondering why it didn't work.[/QUOTE] Just hanging a monitor cable trough the back is not going to make it work.
Friend: My step dad plays CoD6. He sucks at it, but he PLAYS COD6 HOLY SHIT. Me: So? My dad plays Borderlands and we tried to play but we couldn't get a server (I meant a LAN server but whatever) to work. Friend: Dude you need to disable your Firewall and enter TCP. Me: No, that wasn't the problem. I didn't bother explaining because of the obligatory fight with an illiterate and losing.

I was offered some money to remove viruses and recommend upgrades to a friend's dad. He doesn't know anything about computers but wont act like he does so he does fit the description. But they're all nice people and I cant take money from doing something I do on a daily basis. Felt great to do this kind of thing though. :3
[QUOTE=B1N4RY!;20379611]I'm not saying windows suck or anything, but you have never used windows 95, have you?[/QUOTE] if that's the win 95 BSoD, then having the XP theme on the error window just destroys any useful credibility it has left... if there IS any after all the other facts are stacked against it... also, I was probably 10 years old when we upgraded to win 98, so my memory of 95 is not the greatest... let alone of the BSoD.
You can't get mad at people for simply not knowing the in's and out's of hardware. When I get into my car I know that you push one pedal to go forward and one pedal to stop, but if I opened my hood th eonly thing I could possibly do is change a battery or add washer fluid. I don't really think I deserve to be called a dumbass about cars by anyone who knows more than me. This entire :iiaca: can be applied to computers as well. Granted, if I ever did pretend to know exactly what a car does and how it works, then the person who strangles me with a dipstick is correct in doing so.
