Yeah, he's stuck on a netbook 'cause his desktop PSU died. So hopefully :v:
I hope the poor netbook dies quick and painlessly.

Thats Weird
Must be a bug.
Page 100 king I guess :toot:
and now you are here.
I don't see any hidden posts on the last page, but one might have been deleted earlier in the thread or something and you clicked page 100 just as the last post got sucked back to 99
Oh hey dai, Doing your comp catching up I see.
yeah, been out a few days. dealt with finding a micro USB cable (for data transfer on my camera, as I explained several times to the guy helping me) at best buy. Hilarity ensued as he dragged me to phone chargers, then to phone accessories, then to printers.
Decided to go to Radioshack
Why can't people who know what shit is ever get hired at Best Buy and stuff?

Agreed, at least the guy at Fry's was able to point me to the same motherboard socket as my CPU when I looked there. I'm so proud of them :h:

[QUOTE=Forumaster;26868245]Why can't people who know what shit is ever get hired at Best Buy and stuff?[/QUOTE]
Best Buy hires people who can sell, not people who know what they're selling. Because, seriously, they would not sell anything if people actually knew what they were buying.
I went into one yesterday, and every single section was a massive failure:
Computers: Massively overpriced laptops, no technical details given about them whatsoever (I had to open Device Manager to find out how many cores one of them had).
PC Games: Poor selection, overpriced. They seriously were still selling KOTOR 2, a game nearly six years old. They had an entire shelf of WoW and Starcraft, which must sell well, but everything else was crap. They actually had more strategy guides than games.
Music: Pathetic. I'm only qualified to judge their metal selection, so maybe their pop or rap is better, but they had the worst music selection I've ever seen. Only one Iron Maiden album, Seventh Son of a Seventh Son, which a) is not that popular or well-liked, and b) is 22 years old. Also, Maiden just put out a new album this year, which would probably be in higher demand. Megadeth? The Greatest Hits album and their most recent Endgame - none of the remastered albums, none of the classics, none of the live albums. Metallica was at least better represented, and they even had the obscure "S&M" collaboration with the San Francisco Symphony-Orchestra, but a) they had only one copy of the Black Album, the best-selling metal album of all time, b) had ZERO copies of Master of Puppets, almost universally considered their best album, and c) they had St. Anger, which even the band thinks is a piece of shit.
Hardware: the most recent thing they had was a 4000-series Radeon. Not even a top-of-the-line one. Plenty of overpriced keyboards and mice, though - $120 for a WoW-branded mouse!
Not Computer illiterate just infuriating. So my lap-top hasn't been working right for a while. It would freeze up while I was on firefox, like reading facepunch, or just browsing facebook. It also started up brutally slow, but I could play games fine on it. I ran my scans found nothing, did a system restore, fixed nothing. So I decided to bring it in to Geek Squad (I know they're the devil, but I got a warranty when I got my laptop, I can literally drop my laptop and get a new one, and the warranty came with free geek squad diagnostics so I used that) I brought my external in so they could do the back-up cuz I didn't feel like doing it. 90 bucks... just for the backup.
I don't know about must externals but for mine when I plug it in, it asks if I wanna run backup I say yes and boom it does it no problem. Its just pisses me off that they take advantage of the computer illiterate like that.

on the category of your mom and tithing, is she a jehova? I'd assume not she married your dad who "isn't religious", from what I can tell they tend to not associate with anyone but themselves. (speaking out of experience for a friend who's brothers all converted then stopped talking to him at all because he didn't). they give absurd amounts of money to the church, I know that.
I guess they have to compete with geek squad for unnecessary money vacuums.

Nope. Christian.

He doesn't. He really doesn't.
You may think that.
Since I don't really have any content to contribute of my own (parents are relatively tech-savvy, grandmother is currently sans computer after her ancient laptop kicked the dust and is thus unable to mess anything up, and nobody at my (technical) college has said anything stupid about computers lately), I'll copy-paste this in here:
[quote=Jason Mustian, by way of Gizmodo]I swear to fucking God, if I come home this Christmas and find out my parents are still unplugging their computer from the wall when they want to turn it off, I will fucking snap.
Seriously, how fucking hard can it be?
Click START, then click SHUT DOWN.
That's a TWO-step process that for the past 10 years in a row I've had to sit down with you assholes and explain, re-explain, re-explain, re-explain, re-explain, re-explain, re-explain, re-explain and re-explain START, then SHUT DOWN! START, THEN SHUT DOWN!!!
What, in the precise two-step process—that I've written down and given to you on numerous occasions—do you not get?
"But Jason," Dad will say, "it's confusing that I have to click START in order to shut something down. That just seems counterintuitive."
Oh is it, Alan? Is it counterintuitive? Would it help if, instead of a START icon, Microsoft created an icon that looked like a 63-year-old retired accountant with back problems bending over to unplug his computer from the wall? Would that kind of visual be less "counterintuitive"? Apparently it would because every FUCKING year I come home and find that you've been resorting to exactly that kind barbarism.
But it ends here! DO YOU HEAR ME, ALAN? It ends here!
You and Mom had better brace for the possibility that one of you is going to walk into the family room someday and find the other electrocuted, lying in pile of their own shit next to the computer, because that's what's in your future if you keep unplugging it from the wall rather than following my VERY simple instructions!
