Content from my sister: I was sitting in my room browsing Facepunch fixing to play Fallout 3 GOTY. I kept hearing someone talking like "Xbox play and Xbox play!" I started to wonder why someone was screaming/whispering that so I walked out my door and my sister was sitting there in the middle of the floor with a DVD in a tray upside down and her wondering why it wasn't working. Long story short, my sister thought Xbox 360 Kinnect controls every fucking aspect of the console.

Only thing is that it's upside down...
[QUOTE=Shadaez;27017967]In the DVD tray? I thought you could do media stuff with Kinect. Only thing is that it's upside down...[/QUOTE] I think (Flak explained it poorly, so I might be reading it wrong) that she had the disk in the case, and was expecting the XBox to magically put it in the tray. Might be wrong, though - like I said, Flak didn't explain it very clearly.
So my friend sends me a message on Steam, saying how much he thanks me for giving him my old computer (from 2003, havent used it in a long time) and says how he cant wait to play all these new games on it. He expects this really old (and crappy) computer to run everything on max settings. To prepare for it he went out and got a new "gaming keyboard" with "dual core support". He then asks if it's ok to wipe the drive, and since its old and has barely anything on it, I say that he can. To "wipe" it he goes 1 by 1 deleting the icons off of the desktop, and then I said to just reinstall Windows, and he replies with "manual deletion is more effective." He really pisses me off sometimes.

[QUOTE=B1N4RY!;27018175]We all have porn on our computer because Internet brings us to one[/QUOTE] I have a computer with no porn on it. It has no hard drive, no NIC, ergo no porn, locally saved or online. It also has no power supply, but it's still a computer.
Everyone has porn on a working use able computer
[QUOTE=gaboer;27018374]Everyone has porn on a working use able computer[/QUOTE] If it had no NIC, and no porn on the hard drive, it would have no porn. Also, just realized my earlier counter-argument is flawed - that computer actually DOES have porn: I keep my tertiary porn stash (a bunch of print-outs) hidden underneath the mobo, in case of extended power outages.

[QUOTE=supersnail11;27018483]what about overheating?[/QUOTE] The computer has no PSU, and no hard drive. It's unusable with out doing a bit of work, during which I would notice the printouts (they're actually visible when you open the case), and I'm the only one who would ever dream of trying to make the machine usable again (it's a Pentium III-based machine).
Printed porn?
[QUOTE=wlzshroom;27018122]you don't have any porn on your computer what?[/QUOTE] Who downloads porn? And it was a shared computer when I got it in 2003
[QUOTE=gaboer;27018574]Printed porn?[/QUOTE] Unheard of!
Ascii porn is better.
[QUOTE=gaboer;27018574]Printed porn?[/QUOTE] It's my tertiary backup. First there's the Internet, that's my main. As a backup, I have a few movies and a bit of stuff saved locally, in case the net goes down. As a secondary backup, I have a file server with a few gigs worth of images, in case my laptop is out-of-order. As a tertiary backup, I have a handful of printouts, in case the net is down and both computers are out, which essentially means "power is out for longer than my battery lasts".
That's a bit extreme just to look at porn Unless if you don't see it daily you die or something
You sure have alot of backups. Printed is kinda useless, would get old, and bulky.
[QUOTE=gaboer;27018574]Printed porn?[/QUOTE] What we did in the 90s... Most of you don't remember those days.
[QUOTE=gaboer;27018719]You sure have alot of backups. Printed is kinda useless, would get old, and bulky.[/QUOTE] "There is no such thing as overkill". And, since I haven't taken them out in over a year, they're not going to get old. Especially since they're the best of the best. As for being bulky, I only have a dozen or so. They can fit under a motherboard - it's not that thick.
