[QUOTE=Legend286;27014695]Oh, since we're posting what we got for xmas, I thought I'd post what I bought myself. [img_thumb]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/9038221/wooo.png[/img_thumb] :smug: Oh and ITT: Java == JavaScript...[/QUOTE] HAHAHAHA! You got a GTX 480. I call content.
212 pounds = ~$325 USD I would call that a pretty good deal

[QUOTE=gman003-main;27015673]Actually, I came up with a better plan. I show up at Mandrith's doorstep, in full "secret agent" getup. Black suit, mirrored sunglasses, attache case, earpiece, everything. Put a PPK in the inner jacket pocket. Rent a black Mercedes or something. Mandrith's dad answers the door. I say "Is Mr. [Mandrith's Last Name] present?" He responds, "Speaking", or something to the effect of "that's me, dumbass". I respond, "Actually, I was referring to Mr. [Mandrith's Full Name]." He'll probably respond with "Who the hell are you?" My response? "I'm with the federal government. [Mandrith's Name] is being drafted." He'll probably say that "there is no draft in America". "Not under ordinary circumstances, no. But these are extraordinary circumstances. We need a computer expert, and [Mandrith's Name] is one of only twelve people in the country with the full skillset we need. The other eleven already work for us." He'll probably ask for a badge, or at least what department I work for. "It wouldn't matter if I told you who I worked for - officially, we don't exist. Unofficially, we still don't exist, and I'm supposed to kill you if you find out we do." He'll probably start arguing with me at that point. I'll let him blabber on for a minute or so, then break out this quote: "Sir, I could kill you right now, and all I would have to do is fill out some paperwork." I cut off whatever he starts saying - "I have the paperwork right here with me. It would take, like, five minutes. Maybe less - I'm getting good at Form 66-B." At this point, Mandrith comes out, probably hearing the noise. "Ah, Agent Mandrith. Pack your stuff - we exfil in ten." Ten minutes later, we're pulling out. I roll down the window, to let Mandrith give his dad one last farewell. I imagine it starts with "Fuck you, you -", but it could be as simple as "I told you so". Kick the music up to 11, flip the asshole the bird, and floor it off into the sunset. Then, I drop him off with whatever responsible Facepuncher is available. Sorry, Mandrith, but there's no room at the G-Pad for anyone else.[/QUOTE] Give him a plane ticket and I'll look after him :3:
[QUOTE=Forumaster;27015276]Seriously guys, think about it. Imagine the look on his father's face.[/QUOTE] Yeah the look of a middle aged man who has a job getting told off by a bunch of kids... I'm sure he would just ignore it.

[QUOTE=Mandrith;27013912]along with wiping my flash drive (Which happened to have a massive history report saved on it that is due next week)[/QUOTE] How did he wipe it? If you did a hard format, you're fucked, but if he did a soft format or just select everything and "perma-delete" it, you could use PhotoRec to recover it.

[/QUOTE] Alternate ending. As you pulling away in a rusted Toyota camry *pffffffffffttttttt* As Mandrith's dad stands there going, "That was totally a secret agent car."
[QUOTE=Squad;27015814]Alternate ending. As you pulling away in a rusted Toyota camry *pffffffffffttttttt* As Mandrith's dad stands there going, "That was totally a secret agent car."[/QUOTE] Dude, I could just use my actual car, and it would be more secret-agent than a Camry. '99 Eagle Talon FTW. Paint it black and redo the window tint, and I could probably fool Mandrith.parent().

[QUOTE=wingless;27015224]I have an idea, Me and Forumaster came up with. We'll make a compilation video of all the usuals in this thread telling mandriths dad what a fucking idiot he is.[/QUOTE] I'm up for that
put this post in the video: ugh, minecraft isnt going to fuck up a macintosh, mandrith's dad is sure an idiot

or he'll realize how much of a fucking idiot he's been [editline]28th December 2010[/editline] [img]http://static.facepunch.com/fp/ratings/rainbow.png[/img]
I'm pretty sure MDad seeing this thread would be bad for Mandrith - I imagine "posting here from iPhone" is breaking the "grounded for two weeks". And, since we're doing this for Mandrith, we should probably not make it possible to trace the vid back to us.
We won't mention any trace of facepunch and have someone drop it off or mail it to him.
[QUOTE=wingless;27016672]We won't mention any trace of facepunch and have someone drop it off or mail it to him.[/QUOTE] This. [editline]27th December 2010[/editline] Also, wow.
[QUOTE=wingless;27016672]We won't mention any trace of facepunch and have someone drop it off or mail it to him.[/QUOTE] Set it up as an .exe, have Mandrith set it to auto-play every time his Dad logs in.

If you did a hard format, you're fucked, but if he did a soft format or just select everything and "perma-delete" it, you could use PhotoRec to recover it.[/QUOTE] This! Photorec is godlike at recovering the actual files, though it doesn't recover filenames unfortunately. Mandrith, when are you building that computer? You said you had the money about a month ago. My BS detectors are going off due to the insane stupidity being emitted from your posts, but that's only because I have no way to verify them.
I have some more content, though Mandrith's trumps mine. Mom comes in room, sees me playing MW2 Spec Ops (Don't flame me, I like Spec Ops and the Campaign. I've never touched multiplayer EVER.) Mom claims that I'm going to become a violent, murderous recluse if I keep playing violent video games. I close the game and open up three news articles that effectively shoot her statement to hell. She decides to disconnect the internet from me (I'm on wireless). Doesn't think that my sister will mind. My sister, in the middle of a MW2 match (she's the multiplayer fanatic) wanted to kill my mom for turning the internet off. Mom doesn't understand why, because "only [name]'s laptop can use wireless, yours is wired." Both our laptops are at least 150 feet from the Modem. Mom knows there's a wire somewhere. I tell her, with the straightest face I could muster, that the wire was invisible. She shut up. :v:
2 things: Someone in the video game rumors thread (I'll get the link when I'm not on a iPod) called their computer a monitor. I got a laptop. My aunt thought that meant I got an ipad.

[QUOTE=SuperDuperScoot;26968865]I'm content. I overwrote the BOOT MANAGER ON MY NEW GODDAMN NETBOOK TRYING TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO INSTALL LINUX MINT ONTO A SECOND PARTITION BECAUSE THE BIOS SETUP UTILITY IS A PIECE OF SHIT! .... Needless to say, I am very. VERY. Angry with myself. No, my name is not FatFatFatty or whatever it was.[/QUOTE] I once found a WinXP reinstall disk and I installed it on a partition next to my Linux Mint install. Couldn't boot up Linux from the windows boot manager, so I thought swapping the windows and Linux partitions would help. Already had FreeDOS on an extra partition so I had four (linux swap), which was max I could have. Thought I would move the Linux partition into my Linux swap extended partition. Which apparently gets erased on reboot. Fuckkkkkkkk
