Computer illiterate people who think they know things [v3]

I'm not sure if this fits the thread, but it's relevant and funny as hell:
I remember in a Computer Engineering course I did back in grade 9 there was a incident on which one of the kids, while assembling a computer from scratch, had problems booting up the computer (I can't remember what the exact problem was, I think it was either improper videocard placement or mobo problems. The computers we were assembling were old Pentium 3 based PCs)
Anyways, he knew how to fix it and proceeded to use his screwdriver to fiddle around with the mobo screws.
Only problem: [b]THE COMPUTER WAS STILL FUCKING ON AND PLUGGED IN WHEN HE WAS DOING THIS[/b]
Well, once the screwdriver touched the mobo lots of sparks flied around, and there was a loud ZAP! The only thing he accomplished was frying the entire mobo, making it useless.
Afterwards, he was mocked for that incident for the rest of the course.
Man, I had one hell of a laugh that day :v:

This thread. :Dawkins102:
Mac user: Alright, here’s the camera, and a USB cable.
PC user: (Plugs in camera. Nothing happends). Oh, we might have to do this later, I need to download some drivers.
Mac user: Oh okay, can I have your camera? I want the pictures that you took.
That post makes me want to explode!
Also, on TigerDirect, they have an SLI bundle with 2 GTS 250's that CAN'T SLI... I Phoned and asked why they did that and they said, "I'm sorry but that is just how it is"

Try REG QUERY HKLM /s and take a picture of their faces.
Preferably do COLOR 0A before that, and say you hacked the matrix...

what does REG QUERY HKLM /s do?
[QUOTE=Fatfatfatty;19995801]what does REG QUERY HKLM /s do?[/QUOTE]
Lists every registry entry in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, without pausing. Looks awesome in fullscreen :buddy:
not sure he thinks he knows things but, our computer was broken and we were also having problems with the internet. For some reason my dad thought that if one was to fix the internet problems, this would somehow fix the computer. I havent laughed this hard in a while.
I'm amazed at the ability of you guys to keep cool in front of rambling mac/console fanboys and retarded teachers, I'd loose it.
By loosing it I don't mean that I'd scream and rage, but I would definitely not respond in a friendly way (calmly sure, but not what you'd call polite), and probably would go on about how they are wrong until they shut up.

I'd lose it too, even though I'm a Mac user, it's because of them Apple users are stereotyped as idiots.

"OMG I CALL GARRY HE BAN U FAG AHAHAHAH N00B LOL"
I've heard that a few times on Gmod.
Some kid at my school said Internet Explorer is the fastest browser out there.
He was completely serious.

I've heard that before.
On my own server...
:Dawkins102:
*just finished building a new computer*
Uncle - " is that a fast computer how much memory does it have six, eight, ten?"
me - "are you talking about ram"
Uncle - " uh yeah"
Me - "It has 4 gigabytes"
Uncle - " oh i thought it was fast"
Me - "yeah..."
There used to be some idiot on my old server who'd change his name every other day, and try to act completely serious as this new persona. It was interesting, but he gets WAAAAY into it. One time he showed up as garry and threatened to ban everyone if they didn't do what he said, another day he showed up as me and did the same.
It was humorous and harmless, if not a little agitating, but it really got on my nerves when he started contacting me via steam like he was a new person (probably not realizing I could check aliases, or the fact I figured it was him ANYWAYS). I remember one time he was a russian refugee hiding from the KGB after a failed assassination attempt. :raise:

of course, for all [del]intensive purposes[/del] intents and purposes the computer I'm on right now has 12 gig of ram. :science:
Where' we're still offtopic about users on our servers:
So an ordinary day on my Rp server, some dude threatens me that if I don't treat him well(give him toolgun n such) he'll get me banned or demoted. Apperantly he knew 'half the admin team'.
Him: Give me TG or I'll get you demoted and permabanned!
Me: No.
Him: I know half the admin team!
Me: I own the server.

Well, today.. an idiot at school.
So we're talking about internet speed (I only have 256kb/s, my dad said he'd upgrade, but I guess he just keeps forgetting..) but he's saying that like, that internet speed comes through your computer speed, like you have fast internet ONLY if you have a fast computer, like yeah..
[QUOTE=Ezhik;19981833]I hate this type of people: "Why update? My IE5 works just fine!" I've heard many stories when people had to use Windows 95 on a dark age computer with dial-up, all because their parents were all like: "Why get a new one? This one works so well!"
Also: "We won't follow your advice, EVER, even though we ask for it every second, and if something happens, we will blame you."
Thank god my parents aren't like this.[/QUOTE]

that's actually a pretty good amount to have these days anyways. I just needed a crazy high-end gaming machine to work as a powerhouse when doing stuff for my 3D Graphics business. Still takes 6 minutes per frame when rendering things. :argh:
