[QUOTE=paul simon;26460852]Is it normal to have download limits? I don't know anyone in Norway with download limits, didn't even know it existed until I started to browse Facepunch.[/QUOTE] I don't know if I have download limits because my ISP doesn't bother to say anything, but I'm getting the download speeds Rusty is. [editline]42[/editline] I'm now helping the computer teacher in the mornings, when he has his first year computer repair classes. It's really just a group of kids who don't really know very much about computers, so I'll bring some content to this out of stock thread. For instance: I overheard two kids talking as they were looking through this old PIII system like one I had taken apart when I went through the same class years ago. They were gawking at the RAM inside. The kid sat there, looked at it, and counted each chip on the board (8 on each side for 16 chips) and stated that each chip was obviously 2 MB and that the system had 32 MB (he said GB the first time but corrected himself) of DDR2 RAM. He said this to his friend with the smuggest face you've ever seen on a kid. After they walked away, I picked up the RAM he had tried to force in the wrong way, read the sticker that said "128 MB" and saw that it was SD RAM, I couldn't help but laugh to myself. I wouldn't mind going through each machine before they're thrown out and take the RAM, HDDs, and PIII slot processors for myself.

I feel like i dont know anything when i come into this thread.
My friend is convinced that his GTX 275 is 100x better than a GTX 460.
The kid who sent the "incredible batch virus" to all the kids in my class was being a tard today. So soon we get laptops at our school, but there's going to be monitoring software on them (quite rightfully so). :downs:: I'll play games during class, I'll just run them off an external hard drive! Then they can NEVER detect them! Me: You do realise they'd easily pick it up, not to mention the teacher will be patrolling around for that shit. Streaming content over an extremely slow USB 2.0 port for modern games won't work very well anyway. :downs:: If I don't plug it in they can't find my games! Me: You intend to run stuff off an external HDD that [i]isn't plugged in?[/i] :downs:: I'm a really good hacker, I hacked everyone in the class a few days ago! I can do anything! Besides, everything is wireless now! Then again, this is the kid who tried to fix a broken power plug. By sticking in a knife and fork to "get the dirt out". While it was still on. Unfortunately, a teacher intervened. [editline]3rd December 2010[/editline] I don't know why teachers don't just let natural selection take care of things.

CONTENT ALERT! The network administrator at my university revoked my internet access for--get this, and make sure you're sitting down--"utilizing illegal methods of network penetration within the university's network." I WAS PLAYING FUCKING UPLINK. I went right up to the head of the IT dept. (remember her, the only sane person there), and she laughed and unbanned me. I hate my IT department (except for her).

I messed around on a school computer changing some Registry Files for the reason to see how people would react, so some kid went up to that computer and left clicked, it right clicked, then tried to type, I unplugged the keyboard, so he said, "It must be the network. :smug:" Wanted to slap him for being so stupid.

All you really did was change one setting then unplugged a keyboard. If anything I want to slap you.

Agh. The browser on my Android has its bookmarks in a menu that you open by sliding right, and when it froze for a second I found myself vigorously fondling Rusty.
