[QUOTE=Mandrith;26108107]Michigan, in the USA.[/QUOTE] Just head south a little, down here in southeastern Indiana everyone's competent and ask questions about something they're unsure about. Also 5 of my console friends are trying to convert themselves into PC gamers ever since the price of xbox live increased.
[QUOTE=gman003-main;26110264]Going to have to disagree with you. Lived in Virginia for 15 years, and I'm surrounded by incompetent fools. Rednecks, white trash, self-identified "niggas" (their term, not mine), and all kinds of southern stereotypes abound.[/QUOTE] well I don't live in the heart of virginia, maybe it's worse elsewhere, but Mississippi is stereotypically the worst of the southern states
[QUOTE=ButtsexV2;26111467]well I don't live in the heart of virginia, maybe it's worse elsewhere, but Mississippi is stereotypically the worst of the southern states[/QUOTE] I think it's because people here take pride in being Southern, like it's trendy or something, while people in Mississippi just [i]are[/i] southern. I swear, though. If I hear "She think's my tractor's sexy" one more fucking time, I am going to start shooting people, and I won't stop until they call in the Air Force. Not the Army, not the Marines, the fucking Air Force.
[QUOTE=gman003-main;26111816]the fucking Air Force.[/QUOTE] I'm not entirely sure the US Air Force has anything better to do right now. Your wish could come true faster than you think.
[quote]Hello, My name is --- I own and operate ---. An android and Iphone game and app company. Right now it is only a ad supported start up, but I am looking for a person who is in school might want to make some money and get some real life experience as well. While I can program in objective c (java script c++ and a few other work as well) my real abilities is in marketing and advertisements. I am looking to bring someone on who has great ideas and can also work in there spare time on company projects. The companies logo is the garage band for gamers as you can imagine we are not as formal as most start ups. So get back to me and lets make something happen. Thank you for your time.[/quote] Pretty sure this is going to turn into "I'm the ideas guy make me a game".

If he refuses, or if it's less than 20 pages, laugh at him and tell him to fuck off. Note that the laughing and leaving is still an option even if he does have a 20-page document.

Anyone notice that Tumbler was down last night, probably due to DDOSes or whatever the fuck they are? My sister did. And she believed that it was a problem on her end, and told me to try it on my computer. Of course, I did it, and managed to talk her down from being mad/sad/glad/rad, but I shudder to think of what would have happened, had I not attempted any of that.

My dad bought a new higher-resolution just because his desktop was full. Talk about having useless shit on the desktop. He didn't even have the effort to delete some shortcuts.

If you use the same computer as your dad: congratulations, thanks to his stupidity you have a higher res monitor for free. If you use separate computers, take the old one he replaced and either sell it, use it to replace yours if it's better than your current one, or go with a dual monitor setup. It's a win-win situation, if you ask me...
Also I'm so happy that my dad works in IT and is literate. I'm also so lucky that I have a friend IRL who knows about FP and is an average user and such. Literate, can build PC's .etc. Everyone else is a retard
[QUOTE=Mandrith;26108011]Yesterday while at school, I was talking to a guy and mentioned that I was building a computer, and he told me that he has built 6 computers. I let a small glimmer of hope in that someone in this damned town wasn't a complete dumbass about computers. I then asked him what parts he would recommend if I wanted to play Crysis on near-max settings. He then told me that "To play Crysis on even low settings you need a $5700 graphics chip created by Apple, that they only put in high end Mac Pros." *sigh* I politely told him that that was wrong, and that you could actually play Crysis on a cheap computer, although it wouldn't be able to run anything higher than minimum settings He then began to tell me that he was more experienced, and that he had even built a Router Stack. When I asked him what a router stack was, he told me that it was a stack of 20 routers wired together that could process anything in a nanosecond. I told him that was not possible, and that you need a processor, RAM, a motherboard and a lot of other parts to have a computer run. He replied with "No you don't, those things are no longer needed with the technology Apple has invented, they can even run two softwares on them" I asked him what a software was, and he told me "Mac OSX, Windows" I told him that they were supposed to be called an Operating System, and even after 5 minutes of arguing, I couldn't convince him. I then told him that running two "Softwares" wasn't even that special, and you can easily partition a hard drive and put a different OS on each one, such a dual booting Windows Seven and Linux. He told me that was utter bullshit, and "Why would you even buy Linux, its for hackers and costs $500." Why the hell does this always happen to me?...[/QUOTE] I feel like people come up with these elaborate stories so people think they are cool for coming up with what they think is content. I hardly doubt this guy said anything about a $5700 graphics chip created by apple... You really don't have to exaggerate stories to make them good. If you find yourself exaggerating, don't post the story, because it probably isn't a good one to begin with.

Ever occour to you that computer literacy isn't everything in this world. I fucking raged at the first part of your post. Mostly because it's empty words and bullshit to gain more Internet-cool rating..... It's spam. nothing more. Please stop doing that. That goes for everyone. It's making this tread a negative place to be/read and that was not the intention.

It was about funny incidents. something this thread hasn't seen in ages. All you guys do is flash your arrogance and talk about hurting other people because they prioritize their bank of knowledge differently than yours. Why the fuck are you here when you can't even contribute content that fits the actual bill? I don't mind rageworthy content. But the reactions we see here are all false and piss arrogant. "Hnnnng" "shoot him" "deport all illiterates" yeah... go to hell with that. That's pure bullshit and worn out by now. your cool rating is hardly growing from these anymore. What's worse is when we get good content about genuinely ignorant illiterates that are a real fucking laugh we get shit responses like the ones above that are whoring ratings. People could at least keep their responses relevant and below the spam line. How fucking hard is that? Just saying. people need to get real. that's all.

All I did was make one post and they started bitching, rate dumb and move on if you don't like a post. You don't need to come up with the longest argument so you can to prove to myself my post was dumb. Because frankly I don't give a shit.

[QUOTE=QuickSnapz;26122843]All I did was make one post and they started bitching[/QUOTE] When your "one post" is essentially "fuck you get the fuck out fuck fuck fuck", it isn't exactly conducive to reasonable conversation. Just saying.
As I pointed out before, [url=http://www.facepunch.com/threads/1020084-Sparkbrowser-Your-new-favourite-web-browser!]the Sparkbrowser thread[/url] is filled with wonderful content. Now stop arguing.
