[QUOTE=xxncxx;20859904]When I get older, I am going to set up a Mac Party and bring every mac fanboy I know to it. For the main event at the party. I will show them the power of a PC.

yeah, it's retarded to just flame back and forth like that, we're here for idiots who already exist, not who've been trolled into position. If a mactard says something stupid, that's one thing, but I think you've made a prime example of PCtardation, NC.
^2 posts above this are Mac fanboys.

Lets develop a computer in facepunch that has a fist attached to the monitor, so when someone does something stupid they get punched in the face. Totally original idea amirite? But no, the users of FP should work together to make an OS and quit bitching about which one is better and help make an OS we can call ours.

In fact, forget the party.

Someone tried to convince me over steam that 1000KB = 1GB. :doh:

I thought computer bugs were really bugs (As in beetles)
[QUOTE=LinuX;20876939]I thought computer bugs were really bugs (As in beetles)[/QUOTE] Funny thing is, (as mentioned earlier in the thread series) that's how they got called bugs. At first, it was cause a [b]real[/b] bug got stuck somewhere in the hardware and fried something, I'm not exactly sure how that translates to something wrong with software later on, but that's what I'm told.
My stepmom wouldn't let me borrow their internet for a while because I'd "get viruses on their internet". Not on my computer, but on their internet. :raise: I think she was a little hung over, but still...

Ive always thought that 1 byte = 4 bits, that is what i was told at a early age and held onto that. im dumb :saddowns:
I built my friends computer for him. Stuck a plastic mat over his carpet to prevent static shocks and such from hitting his GPU. He bought the same card as me, a 5.2 ghz 5870. He couldn't keep his hands from touching, talking about how WoW was going to run [I]so fast[/I]. *cough* fag *cough*. But I digress. This dumb motherfucker wears the wooliest socks you could have ever seen. Big green fuzzy things. They look like they were made out of Oscar from Sesame Streets pelt. Anyway, he's jumping around on the carpet while I'm on the grounded plastic mat all over his carpet acting like a retard while I'm trying to Fung shui this beast of a card into his tiny HP case. I finally get this thing in there, and I start telling him that he really needs a new case because it's going to overheat in such cramped conditions with the tiny case fans and such. First thing he does when I set his computer back up on it's side is touch the card. The static shock was loud enough to actually be audible in the next room over, because his mom came in asking which outlet burst. Jesus...
5.2 ghz 5870? wtf?

why is it that people (particularly illiterates) seem to have a great fear of torrents? for example, if you look at warez on youtube ( I don't actively search for it, but it somehow showed up in my "recommended for you", so I looked at it just to see how stupid this person was.) it'll be full of people with things like !NO TORRENTS! in the title and "none of that torrent bullshit", instead favoring direct downloads.
My dad will not let me purchase a new hard drive so I can put my own OS (Ubuntu) on it; he insists that I should use Windows on my own damn computer. Can someone help convince him that I can do whatever with my own machine? He is very computer illiterate. Apparently he thinks whatever I do will fuck up the computer, even if it is my own, I cannot use a different OS. /rant
