Computer illiterate people who think they know things V8: Mandrith appreciation Station. - Hardware & Software

[QUOTE=Nerdrage;27574622]not exactly comuter illiteracy but two of my friends pronounce Nvidia as "EN-VEE-AYDA" It's "NNN-VIDIA" damnit! worst of all everytime i try to correct them (or mention Nvidia, or any graphics cards for that matter) they call me an ATI fanboy :argh:[/QUOTE] I know this is just one example, but is this really how fast people are to call each other fanboys these days? It's absolutely pathetic, like a compulsion, as if a junky is hopelessly addicted to a controlled substance can't resist using it at every opportunity. It's like if you have a preference for a company, you're immediately a fanboy. I don't get it. I thought fanboys were just complete idiots that spew shit out about whatever company they worship and resort to using exaggeratory statements to make themselves sound credible. If you prefer a PS3 over the Xbox 360 due to the certain pros over it (Blu-ray, for example) are you a fanboy? Probably not.

For any programmers: [url]http://forum.returntoblockland.com/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=2898[/url] The goal of this guy was to create a program that makes three text files 2-5 lines in length using text specified by the user, and then zip them (which is how an addon for the game this forum is about is packaged). This is all fine and dandy, but the OP claims he put 200,000 lines and "several years" or something into this VB project, saying something about the line additions increasing "speed" and "accuracy." He's either just attracting attention or is doing something horribly wrong. I tried to convince him of this but was flamed by the community who has no experience whatsoever. I even replicated this shit in 30-line PHP and Lua scripts, but he kept saying "his does more" without saying what. He also is adding unnecessary compulsory registration and web integration, and he's also trying to add an IRC client which makes this seem more of a practice app than a simple addon generator (which was his goal), but he refuses to believe it's anything other than "professional." The few times I did actually help him with this shit, he just came up with some ignorant bullshit excuse to not accept it it (ex, he wanted a MySQL host, I told him to download MySQL Community Server, he said "it didn't exist"). He also seems to insult everybody else making a similar project saying that "they're unoriginal," which makes the OP a hypocrite because many people have made projects like this before him. A bonus lol is on page 32 - he explains how there's this big huge organization called Jeepserver and that he's the owner of it. OP is 13 by the way.

i remember the glorious day when my elementary school got like 50 imacs. they used to use these: [img]http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/e/e0/Power_Mac_G3_AIO_corrected.jpg/556px-Power_Mac_G3_AIO_corrected.jpg[/img] god damn i remember using a BEIGE APPLE PRODUCT, im getting old :smith:

Correct me if I'm wrong, but two of those wouldn't even work together would they? Hence the Xeon processors?

Successfully got around any and all blocks in my school. Regardless of whether or not the website has https:// if you do, say [url]https://www.facebook.com[/url] it will allow you to log in. We had my networking class all on facebook today, including the teacher.

She was using it until about three years ago, too, besides having bought a newer one earlier (it came with Windows Plus!, that's how old the newer one is.)

[QUOTE=Badal;27576475]...and playing Oregon Trail all day, errday. :frogc00l:[/QUOTE] Oregon Trail, so many memories. :allears:

While my friend was discussing buying a "gaming laptop" on some website like ebay, I said "my laptop, i dont know the specs, runs minecraft on low fog perfectly. I bought it to watch movies, and browse the web on though, so nothing real powerful inside." "yea, sometimes videos can take more computer power than video games" :smithicide:

Sorta content. Posting this on Facebook: [media]http://youtube.com/watch?v=H3q8_40GBuI[/media] I may not be entirely correct, so I'm also content? (Said person is 15 year old "artistic" Mac fangirl.) [quote] [B]Person:[/B]Yo that's bullshit. [B]Me:[/B]Explain why. [B]Person:[/B]Cause macs kick ass. [B]Me:[/B]Do you actually have any evidence to support your claims? [B]Person:[/B]MY COMPUTER IS PERFECT MY DAD'S DELL IS NOT D E A L W I T H I T. [B]Me:[/B]So your basing this all on opinion? And only on your own experience? [B]Person:[/B]And my entire family's. If you are a gamer, cool, use a PC. But in my life a mac is what I need. I need quick and easy, and I need it to be easily portable. For photography, mac is the best option. If you wanna sit and play World of Warcraft... [B]Me:[/B]n my opinion, PC's aren't all that difficult to use. And if you're judging them on the basis of portability that has nothing to do with operating systems, it has to do with whether or not you're using a desktop or laptop model. P.S. You got something against World of Warcraft, it's kind of stupid to stereotype all PC gamers as WoW players. [B]Person:[/B]No that's just the only game I know and I have absolutely nothing against WoW. And PC's are, maybe it's cause you've learned about them, but they frustrate me to no end. I know for a fact that my mac has run longer than any PC we've had, and... I know that Macs have a more efficent operating system. I'm just saying for my lifestyle macs kick pcs ass. [b]Me:[/b]You can't generalize an operating system to a "lifestyle." There are programs that run on that platform. You can't attribute how long you've had your computer to it's specific operating system. It only depends on what you've done with it. I have a 4 year old Asus, I've upgraded parts in order to make it better. [B]Person:[/B]Yeah with macs, we had ours for ten years, and we didn't have to do anything. We had to do the updates but that's true with any computer. And yes I actually can do whatever I want, I know that I would end up throwing a PC out of my window. I... know people who are photographers who find it REALLY hard to easily operate with their life of uploading and editing and storing photos with a PC. So I actually can. And I do know what Linux is. Anyway, I have my opinon and you have yours obviously and you won't shift, so I'm done with this discussion. [b]Me:[/b]Did you actually read anything that I just posted? I can get a copy of Imovie or Iphoto on my PC if I want, a Mac doesn't necessarily make a photo or movie better just because you made it on a Mac. [B]Person:[/B]Yeah and I actually have stuff to do, and you obviously won't budge your opinion so I'm not wasting my time. And I know that's possible sooo I just prefer a Mac and so do tons of people. [b]Me:[/b]I doubt I'll be able to convince you either so let's call it a draw.[/quote]

Another Mac Vs. PC fight?

[QUOTE=GhostSonic;27577113]Another Mac Vs. PC fight?[/QUOTE] Normally I would say that both participants are content, but it's less of a "computer illiteracy" and more of a "one side's just being a whiny bitch" thing.

"Make sure to unplug your PC when its turned off otherwise it will download viruses" :downs: This was on a PC that was fully shut down with no internet connection :eng99:

[QUOTE=MacTrekkie;27577798]My title is more of an "I have an opinion, everyone else can too" than a "Fuck U windows u piece of shit shat out a nerds assberger asscrack"[/QUOTE] It's kind of sad that the dumber among us hate your title, not for your differing-from-the-norm opinion, but for your preference to Mac. Nobody would get that shit if they had "I prefer Gentoo to Arch", even though it's the same general structure, replace two terms with two other ones.
