That sounds awesome.
Also, repost from last thread: [release] My friend uses IE. 7. Convo between someone else and I: Me: Would you rather have Windows or a Mac? Douche: Mac Me: Why? Douche: WINDOWS SUCKS ITS NOT SHINY AND ITS TOO SLOW Me: :sigh: He thinks Vista is superior and other OS's are inferior. As well as, Me: What's your OS? Douche: An HP. And between my eldest brother: He: Your computer seems to run faster since you got that new keyboard. Me: No it doesn't, there's no way a keyboard could affect performance that much. He: Well, it could be WARNING, EXTREME RAGE AHEAD That your keyboard is feeding RAM into your computer, because your RAM is located in your hard drive [/release]

They'll charge a crapload to turn your computer on at the store and "install special packages and applications", when really they just let it start up, clicking 'next, next, next' on the stuff that installs right off the bat. I need to find that picture from v2 that I took of the xbox version of L4D2 with the "Let the geeksquad install it!" sticker.

I was trolling my RL friend : Friend : I have a 6GB dual core processor, I bet I beat whatever you have 2x! :smug: Me : Yeah? Well I have a 1TB quad core with 500GB RAM :smugissar: Friend : WOW! That's fast! Me : :geno:

[QUOTE=FalcoLombardi;19911443]I want to work for Geeksquad.[/QUOTE] back when I first was trying to get a job (17 years old), I was rejected by the geeksquad for not being 'qualified' enough. I guess a lifetime of building computers and dealing with more software than people care to exist doesn't beat out the guy they DID hire, who was a 16 year old pot head from my school who got fired 4 weeks later for lack of attendance. :colbert:
We had to use these shitty laptops for a computer lab in Science class. There's a little tab supporting the spacebar, which broke off. I raised my hand, and said "The computer is broken", and she says "Have you tried restarting it?".

[QUOTE=LimEJET;19917671]Is that so?[/QUOTE] Yes indeed it is. I was probably going to write something more, but then I decided not to. And
When i first got my PlayStation i thought the MB on the memory cards meant memory blocks.
Haaaa, okay okay. Me: My PSP holds 1 gig of music... Friend: MINE HOLDS TWO-HUNDRED SONGS!!!!!11oneone!! :D
I figure I might as well ask y'all this because we've all had one, and it [i]usually[/i] pertains to computer illiteracy. [highlight]Internet Arguments[/highlight] [highlight]TL;DR[/highlight]... BEFORE the post? Oh god. [question] Would you carry out an internet argument the same way over social networks (facebook, etc), or does the personal level make you weary about acting out against opinion? -- The reason I bring this up is because of a particular argument (see: verbal fisting of two jackasses) I just had over facebook. It wasn't on computer illiteracy, but the thought still stands; Winning an internet argument, as we mostly know, is pretty much pointless. No one wins, since no one really loses anything but their credibility until everyone forgets 20 minutes later. HOWEVER, giving a thorough thrashing via Facebook or other social network, where you don't necessarily know the person, but it's "friend of a friend" connection or what-have-you; Someone you could know, run into on the street or at a birthday party... When do we cross the line at 'internet argument' and turn it into a harsh reality of personal conflict, where someone you know is in the crossfire and there could be severe repercussions to your actions? for the record, the "people" assaulting my friend deserved the textual beat-down and mental land-mines I planted, the bottom-feeding lowlifes.

Heck, I wouldn't mind opening a computer repair business just to show some people how retarded they actually are. I got a book that taught some simple coding, and the first lesson involved teaching me how to close a window. Lets just say I skipped 5 lessons or 10...
I already posted this in the other thread but this is an abomination. [quote]Some kid told me his dad got a "father-son" 3,000 dollar computer from Alienware so they could run Runescape and RCT3 flawlessly. Of course I just humored him. He has three runescape accounts, his father has FIVE runescape accounts, posts shitty screen recorded RCT3 videos on youtube, he's on the edge of being a weeaboo, he loves Naruto, he's about 5'1, he loves slipknot and he's mormon. This is how the conversation went: Kid: Guess what, my dad got us a new gamer computer from Alienwire. Me: I see... Kid: It costed 3,000 dollars. :saddowns: Me: Hmm... Kid: They released this version of Runescape called Runescape HD and my old computer couldn't run it, it also couldn't run RCT3 good. Me: Ah... Kid: I have like three runescape accounts and my dad has five. Me: That's cool. Kid: Runescape is the best game ever, huh? :saddowns: His YT is JWA790. What a shmuck!
