Guys, I have a netgear power bridge (10/100, fuck yeah) for my TV. One problem. The earth pin is broken. I need a way to get a new plastic earth pin on it, since jamming random shit into the earth bit isn't going to help [editline]3rd December 2010[/editline] it's a UK socket by the way, fucking RCDs all up in this bitch [editline]3rd December 2010[/editline] and by bitch I mean consumer unit [editline]3rd December 2010[/editline] and by up in i mean installed

Here's some content. I've posted before about this one idiot in my class who doesn't seem to be able to comprehend about anything what so ever. Not so long ago he proved this again. He was trying to install Fedora 13 x64 in VirtualBox on his laptop. He's running Vista 64bit (according to him) and he wasn't able to get it installed. It would give him an error about using the wrong version. Now he's either running a 32bit OS, set his VM to 32bit, or is using the 32bit version of VirtualBox, or any combination of those. Now according to him he removed 2 gigs of RAM from his laptop because they were busted or something. He thinks that the 64bit version of Fedora doesn't want to install because when he removed 2 gigs of ram (thus moving from 4 to 2) his Os changed to 32bits. I have told him many times that he obviously downloaded the wrong version or something, but he won't admit the fact that he fucked up. He always blames his failures on something else than him. I'm happy that he's failing 2 classes and is sure not to pass them. He will soon get kicked out and my life will be fucking better.
"I'm happy that he's failing 2 classes and is sure not to pass them. He will soon get kicked out and my life will be fucking better." why on earth would you be happy for someone's failures

Whilst it may be [img]http://static.facepunch.com/fp/ratings/information.png[/img], the websites our college use to teach us computing look archaic.

The sites that we use are limited as the teacher uses the old 'unreliable until proven otherwise' rule when it comes to using other resources.

He sits through class and doesn't get anything and then asks about 50000 questions about the same thing over and over again. I've just generally had enough. I can't stand him anymore.

I got a 95 on the first try, i thought it was device for the modular computer question.

And the second was "peripheral", I guess, not "peripherals". [QUOTE=Shadaez;26474436]Whats the correct answer to the last question?

[QUOTE=Squad;26468145]First off when you say broken power plug? The plug is the part with the prongs, so I am wondering how he got a knife and fork into that. Unless you mean the socket, then okay I can see how you can get a knife and fork in the socket. Second, you were sitting in class and he just happened to pull out a metal knife and fork? Do you guys always carry silverware around with you? While what was still on? Do you mean while the power was still on? Because if the electronic device was still on, that is impressive since it would have to be unplugged for him to do any of this. This story just radiates "made up".[/QUOTE] Socket, and he's a "special" kid who lacks the ability to eat without a knife and fork, so he brings them to school.
