↑ good rant, but we've actually divided the mac v PC stuff to a new thread (thanks to bomimo). If ya don't mind reposting it there, it'll help to keep another side-tracked conversation from kicking up dust :buddy: [url]http://www.facepunch.com/showthread.php?t=899920[/url]
Problem I have with Mac's is that you pay 30% more just for a white logo on the top. They are also hard to upgrade.
[QUOTE=taipan;20412955]Problem I have with Mac's is that you pay 30% more just for a white logo on the top. They are also hard to upgrade.[/QUOTE] dude, we have another thread for that, and it's on the front page. keep it out of here.
but that thread will kill this thread
[QUOTE=Fatfatfatty;20413127]but that thread will kill this thread[/QUOTE] if so, then this thread is not worth to live. it's not even sticking to the original idea anymore.
My teacher calls the wifi at my school an "airport" and since she can't access it she thinks all the bandwidth is being taken up by "cell phones". Also, she doesn't know how to use the power settings on her computer so when shes giving a presentation the screen will turn off on her computer along with the projector.
This is pure fucking stupidity: [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aY_CidIS8YM[/media] I want to punch her in the face for being an ignorant fucking idiot.

I think my other post from "computer illiterate people" should belong here, it makes sense. We were on the phone, and I was playing HL2: EP 1, and he was telling me about his new HP desktop with a "Hacker Tool" (probably Command Prompt.) and how he can play the fate trial any time he wants (Fate is a fag game anyway, rather play the game it based it's main mechanics on, Diablo.) [quote] Me: That's cool. So, how do you restart the trial on Fate? Friend: Well, My computer has this secret program called "re-install HP games" that restarts the time, and the game makers (He really called "Developers" "Game Makers") don't even know! *Later on* Friend: you know I can hack computers, right? Me: Really? Friend: Yeah. I got these cool Hacker programs. I'm hacking into your main-frame right now. (I have a PC, and it's not 1960s) Me: What do you see? Friend: I'm in your RAM now, that's where all your important stuff is. Friend: I'm in taking your garbage file. That looks like some good stuff. (At this point, I was questioning in my head if he saw Hackers lately, and getting all of his "Computer Knowledge" on that) Me: What are you doing now? Friend: I'm looking at your memory, now. Me: Hang on a sec, I've gotta take the dog out, be right back. (I was lying, but I was giggling so much, I had to let it out and still not be like a jerk) [/quote] [editline]05:30PM[/editline] [QUOTE=Rixxz2;20415353]This is pure fucking stupidity: [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aY_CidIS8YM[/media] I want to punch her in the face for being an ignorant fucking idiot.[/QUOTE] FFFUUUUUUUCCCCKKKK!!!!!!

Had she never used a flash drive or a CD in her life? Or come across a computer that was turned off?

Ok, so I decided yesterday that my laptop needed a cleaning. So I looked up a disassembly guide and got to work. It was easier than I thought, but it still took well over three hours. I'm not an idiot, I know how to deal with computer parts, which is why I continually touched the heater in my apartment (since it's one of those water-filled models, it's grounded). After unscrewing the weird fan/heatsink thing on the motherboard, blowing it out, and wiping the fanblades, I started putting it back together again. Everything is as it should be, every plug in the right place, but the damn thing won't turn on. Suggestions for what the hell it is? I kind of need it on the two weeks holiday I've got starting tomorrow :frown: And yes, I know I'm a moron for taking it apart in the first place.

Oh yeah, same guy: Me: Norton sucks. Friend: No it doesn't it's the best out there! Me: I find avast! superior. Friend: Certain Norton programs are better. Me: Just don't get AVG. Friend: Yeah that sucks. At least he has some decency.
[QUOTE=neos300;20424068]Did you put the battery back in and plug it in?[/QUOTE] :downs: The battery was precharged, and I don't really want to plug it in, since something might catch fire... The problem here is that I made elaborate sketches on how to plug out/in everything, I catalogued the screws, and I checked everything twice. This is nothing I take lightly. [editline]02:47AM[/editline] Ok, scratch that. [highlight]IT FUCKING WORKS![/highlight] The problem? it's a HP pavillion. Normally, they have two extra power buttons that start quicklaunch and quickplay. I think I might have forgotten to wire the regular power button, but those two still work! AND, since I've reinstalled my OS, I don't have quickplay! Yay me! Who's the l33t h4x0r NOW?

[QUOTE=Mr Drover;20424882]Norton is even worse than AVG, the hell are you talking about?[/QUOTE] What am I talking about? You mean what is [i]he[/i] talking about? I told him Norton sucks but we both agree AVG sucks.
After being intrigued about avast and AVG, I've found they are both pretty much the same and just have to do with preference
Man, one time this dude came up to me and asked how much ram I had, I said that I had 4 gigs and then he said "Yeah, well I have 8gigs!" Hahahahaha what a fucking moron
