[QUOTE=daijitsu;20670539]Friend's facebook status: "google chrome <3" tard reply: "well firefox 3 has a skin to look like chrome n shit, and it has a stumbleupon toolbar and custom scripts and provides a faster and overall better browsing experience" ...aside from the fact that they probably meant the skin that looks like chrome METAL, but saying it's faster and better is like saying "driving a sports car to the mall gets your shopping done faster and gives you a better selection at the stores". You're still going to the same Internet on the same ISP, goddammit... Plus, chrome is meant to get away from all those toolbars and cluttering crap. Simple and efficient, what's so hard about that? ... Of course, Internet explorer is noticeably suckier nomatter where I try it. What the he'll s Microsoft doing wrong with it? :raise:[/QUOTE] They shaped up a lot with IE8. Also, I can never get to grips with chrome. I just find it irritating to not be able to access any menus. ...says a guy whose firefox looks like this: [img_thumb]http://bayimg.com/image/laldoaacc.jpg[/img_thumb]

[QUOTE=LimEJET;20673355]:jerkbag:[/QUOTE] It's Firefox, really. Look at the top corner. (See the little fox with a globe)
Wow i'd love to post my firefox but GOOD GOD my internet is slow right now, i dont even have 0.5 Mb/s usually i have 60 Mb/s
This guy in my school had accidently removed his paper bin on the desktop. He wasn't sure how to get it back, so he asked us. This girl then (Remember; this is the girl that tried to convince me functioning computers didn't require ram) told him he had to re-format. I was like "No, are you stupid?" She was like "Yes, it's the only way :downs:"
In the middle of an IT class talking about Operating systems: random girl: "Wow! Mac makes their own windows? why don't Microsoft sew them?" I sort of felt sorry for laughing. Also, I know two people who think laptops are better then Upgradable PCs. True, I'm using a Laptop right now because it's more convenient to me, and some people may see them as a better chose if they travel or do light office work, but every six months these guys get new Laptops because their old ones can't play new games. It's almost sad to think how much money their wasting.
can I ask who the hell this guy is?

I HAVE an extremely powerful gaming machine in my office [basement] but playing games with my dad looking at me angrily because I'm not using every waking moment to do WORK tends to drain away any happiness I get from the game. :sigh:
Playing GRAW at my friend's house. Me: "I thought this was first-person." Friend: "It is." Me: "No it isn't,this is third-person." Friend: "WELL MAYBE THERE IS A SECOND-PERSON! SHERLOCK!" Me thinking: :fuckoff: :geno: :cawg: Editro: I use a mac, but I have windows too, but steam won't read my keys I bought with my games, so i will buy my games from steam when it is put on the mac side :D! And no I am not a mac fanboy. I will not say I AM NAO SUPPERPR BECUZ I HAS YER FAVOREET GAME ON MACC!! When I play the games. Or spam.

oh here is my firefox, im a mac user, please rape my face [IMG]http://filesmelt.com/dl/my_firefox.png[/IMG] lololol dslinux And to answer Daijitsu's question. It is probably because of the Iron Giant thread in the television and film section.
Hi Jarl
[QUOTE=daijitsu;20684153]any particular reason for the sudden surge in dean avatars? :raise:[/QUOTE] Bandwagon in the Iron Giant thread.

[QUOTE=Ezhik;20686099]This looks familiar.[/QUOTE] Because it's Firefox with an extremely well-done Chrome skin.
And since when did Iron Giant suddenly get this popular? That movie came out almost 10 years ago... [editline]03:42PM[/editline] Note: This is NOT a Mac rant or anything like that. I was at Best Buy earlier today, looking at computers and whatnot, when I overheard this Best Buy employee trying to coax this computer illiterate girl into buying a Mac(I'm not sure if employee as allowed to do this, but it felt like he was trying to lean her towards one). Whenever she'd inquire about the difference between a PC and a Mac, he'd use some sort of outlandish statement to make Macs sound more superior. [B]Then he went on to graphics/graphics cards.[/B] I remember how he said Macs are "specifically designed for an enhanced graphics experience, which makes them great for playing video games". I almost blew up.
A little thing called: NOSTALGIA!!! :D

Oh my god iron giant brb nostalgia. [editline]09:10PM[/editline] Also this guy in my Math class: Him: I got an idea. I'll set up a VPN server for like, LAN parties, but you won't have to leave your house! Me: It's called the Internet, right? I've heard of that. Him: No I mean, It'll be more fun than using the Internet. Also, I'll put a big PayPal donate button on the webpage, and we can get money for it! Me: What are the advantages of a VPN over the goddamn Internet? Him: It's more fun. :confused:
[QUOTE=DainBramageStudios;20685075]Serial keys. [url]http://supportwiki.steampowered.com/wiki/Retail_CD_Keys[/url][/QUOTE] Yeah I know but the guy sounded like he was complaining that he couldn't add all his retail purchased games to Steam
My Friends Processor was over-heating so i suggested to clean out the dust and maybe get a new fan (since his current one was also breaking) He suggested a bag of ice :suicide: Hold the phones i got another one. my mate was having trouble installing addons in gmod, he offered to give me his steam name and password to fix it for him yeah i know this is "people who think they know things" but what the hell :keke:
[QUOTE=Revolutionary;20689655]My Friends Processor was over-heating so i suggested to clean out the dust and maybe get a new fan (since his current one was also breaking) He suggested a bag of ice :suicide:[/QUOTE] during a heatwave a few summers back, the air conditioning in the house broke... and the place me and my friends hung out was in the attic. We were playing games and watching movies all week on my projector, but when the AC broke it got WAAAY too toasty up there and it kept shutting off. Our solution? Filling a bowl with ice and placing it in front of the fan intake... and it [i]worked[/i]. :science:
[QUOTE=Revolutionary;20689655]My Friends Processor was over-heating so i suggested to clean out the dust and maybe get a new fan (since his current one was also breaking) He suggested a bag of ice :suicide:[/QUOTE] Reminds me: A few LAN-parties ago, a guy came up to me and asked if he could borrow my fanplate. I said no, I was using it. He then got a fucking brilliant idea. First, he took two oven sheets with 1 cm high edges. He put them on the table, one upside down. He placed his laptop on the upside down one. he then took a plastic shopping bag and went outside. I have to take this moment to inform you that Swedish shopping bags are huge compared to American ones (at least the ones I had to pack in when going to Safeway): [img]http://svt.se/content/1/c8/01/41/86/71/plastkasse_genre1_scanpix_450_253.jpg[/img] Anyway, he came back in again, with the bag filled with snow. He filled the rightside-up sheet with snow, added some more, and then put the other sheet on top of the first and pressed down, so that he had roughly a square meter of compressed snow to cool his laptop. Ten minutes later, the sheets started to leak. I felt his laptop, and almost burnt my fingers on it. Note that this laptop was three years old at the time, it had an integrated GPU and a single-core 1.6 GHz'er. How the hell it was generating that kind of heat still puzzles me.
