[QUOTE=leach139;26462301]And what is this school's level, might I ask? (Infant / Junior / Senior / Special)[/QUOTE] Junior, but because it's an expensive private school, many "special" kids get dumped there because their parents think throwing money at something will magically fix it.
[QUOTE=Dragory;26474684]You have to choose all of the parts that are in the CPU, not just one (did that mistake two times before checking ALU [i]and[/i] Control unit). And the second was "peripheral", I guess, not "peripherals". Apparently the correct answer is "Device drivers", although I'm quite sure they [b]do[/b] have an impact on the PC's performance. [editline]4th December 2010[/editline] Huh. Well, if you put it that way... How about performance increases with GPU drivers, then?[/QUOTE] still does the same calculations per second, the issues with low fps with shit drivers is about stability.
[QUOTE=wingless;26463874]Actually, What happened was One of the head honcho dudes that was fucking everything up, raising the prices and lowering speeds and bandwidth, Left and went to Optus, Think of him as the Bobby Kottick of the Australian Phone business, which is why Optus is going down the shitter.[/QUOTE] Optus is not going down the shitter. A few days ago, my usage cap was upgraded from 50GB (metric of course) to 1TB. For free. It also seems faster now.

[QUOTE=howling techie;26472777]Whilst it may be [img_thumb]http://static.facepunch.com/fp/ratings/information.png[/img_thumb], the websites our college use to teach us computing look archaic. Here is a prime example: [url]http://www.itrackls.co.uk/p7_cssexpress/pp/architect.html[/url] It's a shame really, as something that can be interesting and is important to know when it comes to how computers work has to be presented in such a bland, boring fashion. 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.[/QUOTE] [img]http://www.itrackls.co.uk/p7_cssexpress/pp/KatyKey.gif[/img] This Website is AWESOME

At work we have barracuda it is good but we need to exclude it from the IT department because resources are blocked. I said set up VTP/Vlans, the lead network admin "Sounds complicated" FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF BEST BE TROLLIN
Got a 90, only two of those were hard, but most of them were confusing, mostly because of the shitty pictures.

[QUOTE=ProWaffle;26474836]Junior, but because it's an expensive private school, many "special" kids get dumped there because their parents think throwing money at something will magically fix it.[/QUOTE] Same with my school. [editline]4th December 2010[/editline] In the car right now on a laptop with a 3G Dongle and my mum Doesn't realize to follow the GPS and that it knows where it's going, Though one time when she did go off it's track to go "Her way" The directions were "Go right, Go right, Go right, Then Go right". This is funny but annoying because I wanna get fucking home.

I remember when I was 11 I restarted all the computers in my class with some command prompt, I let them save their work first of course. It took the I.T guy like 2 hours to come to a conclusion "it was a virus". I was so immature back then, but it sure was funny watching the retarded I.T guy struggle.
[QUOTE=Generic.Monk;26468999]I live in britain, kneel before our mighty three pronged plugs and sockets with switches on them.

Edited my post so it's more clear what I was talking about.[/QUOTE] We just stick a little plastic cover in ours The outlets are significantly cheaper I assume, and the plastic dealies cost like 40 cents Ours also have three prongs so it's a draw there.
[QUOTE=FlakTheMighty;26476271]Got a 90, only two of those were hard, but most of them were confusing, mostly because of the shitty pictures.[/QUOTE] Dat computer with it's USB ports. I couldn't see shit.
[QUOTE=PiXeN;26461981]70$ /month ? Holy shit, it's 30€/month without bandwith limits here [editline]e[/editline] You americans are getting ripped off[/QUOTE] Why does everyone always assume I'm American? I'm Aussie.
[QUOTE=Boris-B;26472933]Not really, the guy is a real pain in the ass. He slowing the class down. 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.[/QUOTE] I had someone like that in my class. It got to the point where everyone including the teacher either ignored him or told him to shut up. My friend ended up convincing him about 3 times that he wasn't graduating even after he checked the grad list every time. He said so much stupid things in my CP class, but I can't seem to remember any of them.
[QUOTE=Hookerbot9000;26480058]Why does everyone always assume I'm American? I'm Aussie.[/QUOTE] When people talk about bandwith limits, most of the time they're either American or Australian. It's fifty-fifty
[QUOTE=Zeke129;26479772]We just stick a little plastic cover in ours The outlets are significantly cheaper I assume, and the plastic dealies cost like 40 cents Ours also have three prongs so it's a draw there.[/QUOTE] Australia has those too, the third one is to protect from power outs or something.
[QUOTE=poopsicle;26480347]Australia has those too, the third one is to protect from power outs or something.[/QUOTE] The third one is an earth socket. YOur aussie, you should learn it in Yr 9 science if you're in QLD, not sure bout the other states
[QUOTE=Atokniro;26480630]The third one is an earth socket. YOur aussie, you should learn it in Yr 9 science if you're in QLD, not sure bout the other states[/QUOTE] Didn't have science in year 9 for some reason.

Europlug, best plug. Safe plug, too.
How is it safe? It doesn't have a switch, the most basic of all things.
