[QUOTE=Adzter;26354535]Content: I recently took an old pc that wasn't used, formatted it and gave it to my parents to use a media pc, instead of using the ps3 to watch movies on. I made it look half decent using rocketdock, rainmeter and then i made the 2 desktop icons large (CTRL+Mousescroll). My mum thought all the stuff looked pretty cool, so i went upstairs thinking i'd done a good job. Little did i know my dad hated the large icons so he uninstalled pretty much EVERY program (including opera and anti-virus) in an attempt to shrink the icons, clearly it didn't shrink them. So roughly 2 hours of making it half decent gone down the drain D:[/QUOTE] why didn't your dad ask you
He thought he could fix it himself because he thought it was software that changed the icon size

Congratulations, you figured out how to turn Firefox into IE.

Back in my Middle School the IT Department made the master password for all the accounts on our network "tiger", well one day in computer class our idiot of a teacher accidentally put his password in the username spot and made the mistake of saying his mistake out loud. I didn't use the password, I was a good kid. also, we were on iMacs. This was back in 2002-2003
I love this thread. Thank you for all your contributions, guys. :buddy:
I know two or three administrator passwords. Great fun to make people believe I am hacking by editing a few files they can't. Mostly Program Files. [editline]28th November 2010[/editline] By the way this is easy. Most kids are idiots at my school. One of the passwords was Administrator. :downs:

[QUOTE=Falubii;26361812]IN DEPTH REVIEW OF ALIENWARE AURORA [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KkoibBhEVDw[/media][/QUOTE] Most retarded review ever. Hell, that's not even a review. It's a video made in movie maker showing a bunch of photos of the pretty pretty case and bad grammar, then, at the end, "BEST DESKTOP FOR GAMING". :suicide:

Also, slight content: A mate of mine has a decent desktop (i5 760, 3 GTX 260's, 5 GB DDR2 dual channel RAM, etc). Now, because this thing can run MW2 on max settings at > 100fps, he believes his computer to be one of the best in the world, and that every other computer is 100% inferior (When, you know, a GTX 480 outclasses his 3 cards by a mile). So, one day I'm around there, and he wants a new UI for WoW. He disregards my advice to go to curse or wowinterface and instead does a google search for 'wow ui addon.' He comes across an obvious (to me or anyone with more than a brain stem) scam site, that packages this 'ui addon' into a .exe. Infact, it's named server.exe. Despite my warnings he continues to download and install it, proclaiming it perfectly safe because his paid version of zonealarm security says it's safe. It does nothing to his wow ui, and time goes on. A week or so later I find 100+ spam emails from his email in my inbox. Then his steam account gets vac'd inexplicably. I tell him, "I bet you listened to me now, huh." But no, he doesn't. He firmly believes that Ventrilo (Yes, Ventrilo) has given him a virus. No matter how much I try, he stands firm on the idea that ventrilo is simply to steam peoples steam accounts and send spam. Should I feel bad for wanting to cave his head in with his monitor?
Now that's funny. I can say that Server.exe is the easiest to spot Keylogger ever. Your friend is an idiot. Go kick him in the shins.
Yes, and you should go through with caving his head in, also, what wattage is his powersupply, I had to upgrade my 500w to 900w when I got my SINGLE GTX 260. Also, how big is his motherboard to fit 3 GTX 260s, mine hangs over 2 PCI slots.

Simple solution, stop using Facebook.
I hate it when good computers go to waste :smith:

[QUOTE=ProWaffle;26352550]Just discovered that a year 11 student (i'm a year 7 student) is extremely computer literate, can program in several languages, and does various IT media stuff (graphic design, 3D modelling etc). Just had a long debate with him about OpenGL vs DirectX. (I think I won it.) So glad that there's people out here who are computer literate.[/QUOTE] please tell me you were on opengl's side because directx is crap

[QUOTE=Spy Crab Q;26363821]Wiremod... Not so much. Wiremod slows my computer down a bit. I don't even have to play GMod and the existence of Wiremod on my computer is noticeable by how my computer is a little slower. It's even more so in actual GMod game-play. (!! I'm saying this about JUST my computer !!)[/quote]
Post attempt #2: My aunt is a moron. So she recently bought an iPod touch. And she used the internet on it for a while then realized she was on her neighbors unsecured network. She she wants to use hers. I tell her how to use her routers config menu at 192.168.1.1 and she is convinced she has to have a special cable to edit the router via command prompt(which she dubbed the "Scary black box thing with white scrolling text") So I walk over to her house, open up the wireless settings and get her router going. Now, she had found an ethernet cable, which she thought was the special cable, and plugged it in. Okay fine, her iPod works, she's happy, I walk my fat ass home. Sit down at my computer and open up mty disk drive to dual-boot a new distro and then my moms phone goes off. "My computer is broken. Chrome can't come up with anything." I sigh and decide to drive over this time. Get there, plug in her ethernet cable again and get her security passphrase. Put it back in and it works. So here's her problem with all of that: because she thought I had put her browsers into offline mode I opened up the command prompt and did the normal "ping -t google.com" that I always do. She's happy again and I leave. So her computer decides to delete WiFi codes when an ethernet cable plugged in. Sweet. Meanwhile, she now thinks I'm a computer god and should go to college for this since no normal person knows how to do this.
