How the hell it was generating that kind of heat still puzzles me.[/QUOTE]
I had a DV5 a while ago, it temperatures got up to 100c.
While doing nothing.
I even had to hold it up in the air for it to not shut down.
My friend's brother downloaded Google Earth and got Chrome because it came with it. He won't let my friend use it though. He said you'll get viruses using it.
He uses IE...
:doh:
[QUOTE=Fatfatfatty;20683704]Oh, that is Dean from the movie Iron Giant, he's pretty cool.[/QUOTE]
I remember that movie, use to watch it 24/7 as a kid.
That poor robot :saddowns:
This probably isn't the best place to ask it, but what does "Incognito Mode" on Chrome do? Is it like a built-in proxy or something?
It prevents Chrome from saving your browsing history or storing cache data on your machine.
It's also called "Porn Mode", since that's usually what it's used for.
definitely porn-mode. I usually turn it on so friends don't fucking log me out of everything just so the can check one message and be done with it. :argh:

You mean "Porn Mode for people with nosey parents/spouses or who don't own their own computer"

It depends on what's lagging for him, but if he means his internet connection, then to me it really doesn't sound that dumb. My DSL connection used to go to hell whenever it rained. The phone company had to repair some cables.
But if his internet is lagging and he says it's his computer, he still sounds computer illiterate.
[QUOTE=daijitsu;20684153]any particular reason for the sudden surge in dean avatars? :raise:[/QUOTE]
I have yet to see a Kent Mansley avatar sadly... Ohh wait.

a friend who keeps saying "dude imma get a mac because they dont get viruses and they are faster and shit man"
There's a kid in my math class that used omegle every day. I showed him how to use print screen because he got some funny conversations that he was just throwing away.
He copied a .jpeg from MS paint into MS word
and tried to highlight the text

You're a funny guy.
I decided to help a friend out with their laptop troubles. While looking for crap to delete I stumbled across a 100GB folder, named "virus database DO NOT OPEN" Thinking to myself "what the fuck is in here" I opened it up and found, quite possibly, the mother load of furry porn. Over 10,000 images, probably 300 hours of creepy videos, I actually threw up a little in my mouth while looking through it. I deleted most of it, and loaded some of this shit onto an old flash drive I had. I put a sticker-label thing on the thumb drive that said "you sick fuck" and taped it to the bottom of the laptop. I did some virus scans, found over 130. After removing the viruses and uninstalling a bunch of crap I got the thing back into working order. The guy paid me $30 for all this, but I'm going to assume he found the thumb drive, as he has not talked to me since this happened.
you took away his furry porn? THAT'S THE ONLY THING KEEPING HIM FROM BUYING A FURSUIT AND VENTURING OUT INTO THE REAL WORLD YOU FOOL!

/agree.
A "friend" of mine (he thinks I'm his friend for some reason.) said he installed a graphics card off a disc.
