Sorry about not cropping mine.

My school just spent a fuck-load on refurbishing our old PC room and loading it up with Macs, only to have them run in bootcamp on Windows XP. They could have easily used that money to get new PC's for all of our other IT rooms and of course the library, since most of the machines there run on low end pentium 4's.
[QUOTE=daijitsu;19920673]I used to do personal calls for this old guy near where I worked, I literally showed up, plugged in a mouse or turned his laptop on, and he handed me 20 bucks every time.
sometimes the problem was that when he clicked he accidentally moved the mouse too (stiff hand, hard to move fingers I guess), and he'd drop a desktop item into a folder or something.
...oh, and he had weatherbug installed on this little IBM thinkpad with windows 98... back when it was [i]really[/i] hard on your processes for no reason, on a [i]good[/i] computer. :doh:[/QUOTE]
don't talk shit about thinkpads. the old ones can be really nice if you install linux on them.
still pretty stupid though.

Core i9[/QUOTE]
The square thing on the green plate is bigger, so this man obviously speaks the truth.
Core i9 is something that you use with facebook, right?
At school I tell everyone that my laptop is from the United States Armed Forces Technological Division and that the battery also serves as a remote detonated cellular phone bomb. They all believe me because I use big words and make it sound so logical. I highly doubt it's possible to do though. So far no one has attempted to steal my laptop or question the fact of the battery. The really funny part is I've been leaving the battery at home because I need to buy a new one.
That's not stupidity that's just plain gullibility.

Well it's all I've got lately except for my CAD teacher screwing around with me every time one of his computers gets a virus. One has Anti-Virus 2009. All the school has patients to do is reformat every time they get a virus. I can see it not even being a problem since not all the computers are used at a single time anyway.

No, you have to use Windows for Facebook, duh!
This is a convo between these guys on youtube:
Guy 1: The thing is about crysis is that a lot of the game is CPU dependent. so i would upgrade* the lot like i did!
Guy 2: Crysis isnt* CPU dependent, its GPU Dependent
Guy 1: then* how come they cant run its properly with three gpu's. i got my info from custom PC who had a interview with the guys who made it so im more inclined to believe them than you.

also
me: the laptop wont turn on, you got the charger?
teacher: what? these laptops are new they dont need recharging
me: uuh.. yes they do. New or not, they need recharging.
teacher: dont be silly the bigger computers never need recharging (referring to desktops)
me: thats because they are desktops and are constantly hooked to the mains, these are laptops, they have batterys, and this one needs its charger.
Then finally she gave me the charger.
it makes you wonder, how on earth do people like this get anywhere?

Fuck there's always a catch.
Oh god someone please explain peer to peer to this kid.
[QUOTE=Wonky;19919799]Then freak the fuck out, start yelling at them, call them a pervert, you are going to hell, yada yada. Then when they try to explain, say you're calling geek squad to report them. Then call and report them. :smug:[/QUOTE]

Look at zesty lemons posts
"After months and months and months of hacking, I realized that Limewire does not host their files."
^Lol at above. Somebody obviously doesn't know what peer-to-peer means.
I just had to turn off my computer because my brother complained I was stealing the internet. :argh:
I was playing around with cheat engine and my mom burst into my room and DEMANDED I "Stop hacking!".
If I didn't get out of cheat engine she was going to take my computer's power cord...

You're going to jail for this, young man.

Stop right there, criminal scum! All your stolen internets are now forfeit!
Not even five pages and we've run into several memes.
What's wrong with that? I love memes.
Adding on to my internet stealing situation above: I went to my room, acting like I was turning off the computer, and said, "There, ya happy?" he replied with, "Yeah. Now it's loading." I then proceeded to tell him that I did not do anything to my computer. :smug:
at least they're good memes. I'd complain if someone started posting "My ping was over 9000!".
This is less of a computer illiterate saying something, but my dad saying something really stupid.
Me: Dad, the Desktop has a virus.
Dad: Oh shit.
Me: Yea.
Dad: Well do you know how it got there?
Me: I opened a site up [gamestop] and a popup came up, downloaded a virus on the computer, and restarted on its own.
Dad: That can't happen.
Me: Uhhh, yes it can. Drive-by downloads.
Dad: No, you downloaded so much shit (which he was right on, but that was not the case for the virus)
Me: No, I saw the popup go up *ramble on the explanation*
Dad: No, sites can't do that. This "drive-by download" is non-existent.
Me the next day: *Pull up a wiki page on drive-by downloads*
Dad: Oh, okay.
At least he doesn't repent when he learns something new.
browsing the refugee camp makes me sad... I was lead to this drop dead thread-

[quote=macsFTW]see none of u can find a reason that pcs are better than macs
Edited:
macs can upgrade, i dwonloaded some ram yesterday.[/quote]
and, a little hefty reading on "why pc is better". I like this post, not because of its stand in the pc vs mac battle, but because it's actually [i]information from a real source[/i]. [url]http://www.facepunch.com/showpost.php?p=19926173&postcount=61[/url]
No, he's an obvious troll.
yeh, but looking through the thread this troll brought a lot of the actual tards out of the woodwork.
also microsoft windows has backwards compability, you can run programs intended for windows 95 on a win 7 computer but you cant run a OS 9 or older on a intel mac
Can we please post illiterate stories, the Mac hate is getting annoying.

Although it is the truth, but don't bother; macfags will simply throw something unbelievably retarded back to defend their shitty mac afterward.
