Or if they're anything like my friend:
[B]OPEN SOURCE IS JUST COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT
EVERYTHING GIMP HAS IS STOLEN FROM PHOTOSHOP
THE UBUNTU DEVS ARE A BUNCH OF POT SMOKING HIPPIES
[/B]
Not exactly worded that way but he said all of those things
Especially the last part

Do the world a favor and castrate him so he may never reproduce.
More effective then just killing him. That's no fun.

He won't reproduce, he hates women
And knowing how he likes genital mutilation he's gonna do that himself
This isn't computer illiteracy, but more internet illiteracy.
There are these 2 kids in my math class who sometimes sit next to me.
Yesterday we got our graded math tests back, and one kid says "Cool, I got a 95 out of 100!"
The other kid said "Well at least you didn't get a 95 [b]OVER 9000!!!!!!!!!!11[/b]"
I kid you not they were laughing for at least 10 minutes about this.
They also make a lot of crappy Portal jokes.

I remeber when I was 12, my friend made a joke in similar to this:
Teacher: and the furnaces would reach 10,000 degrees!
Friend: Miss?
Teacher: Yes?
Friend: Were they over 9000?
Teacher: Well, yes they were over 9000.
I have no idea why, but I laughed uncontrollably for 5 minutes. I was crying with laughter.
God I hate my younger self.

He probably still has the option of adoption.
[QUOTE=benjgvps;27423086]Today at school, someone was showing off his Dr.Dre Beats (Made by Monster Cable). They're stupid expensive for what you get to begin with, I bet a pair of Grados, Sennheisers or another reputable brand would have something better and less plasticy for half the price.
To demonstrate the quality of the headphones to a friend, he plays back a YouTube music video back at 240p. Eh...[/QUOTE]
I'm a real cunt for Headphones and Sound, Seriously, I will not buy something Sound related unless my Dad says its a good brand (He's effectively a go to guy for Speakers/Headphones)

I disagree, the Office 2007 Ribbon was very unorganized. I prefer 2010's ribbon, or better yet, a good-old-fashioned drop-down menu.
The only people I know who don't like Office 2007 don't like it because they can't comprehend that a round button can be the menu

His mother most certainly bought them at Futureshop / Best Buy. He's an only child and the family is pretty wealthy.

Office 2007 is fine.
The new UI confused the living shit out of me at first (couldn't find a button that said "Coming from an earlier version of Office? Click here and I'll show you where everything is!"), but once you get used to the damned thing it's fairly nice.
Someone also made a Ribbon that [url=http://www.technibble.com/ubitmenu-classic-menu-for-office-20072010-repair-tool-of-the-week/]brings the old menu system back[/url] if someone REALLY hates the damned thing.

I want the old facebook back this shit is wack
Now for content.
I tried explaining to some guy that consoles and PCs had upsides/downsides, but he STILL refues to listen, thinking PS3 is Ub3r 1337.
He also said PCs were limited.
:cawg:
Was reading the local paper, when it mentioned about ideas to possibly fill up empty shops in a nearby town. I didn't think much of it until I found this:
[img_thumb]http://filesmelt.com/dl/IMG_02662.JPG[/img_thumb]
It sounds promising but at the same time I can't help but think there's going to be a fuckton of content spewing from there. That's even if it's approved of yet, which, round here, seems unlikely. Worth a shot though.
Above post seems generic. I've lost track of the times I've seen people post here saying shit like they've tried explaining to console fanboys about PC gaming only to have it thrown in their face. Getting a bit repetitive.

Assuming you are the right person, that wouldn't happen to be going in my shithole of a town would it? If so, job opportunity, I am probably one of the most qualified (without qualifications) people in the entire bloody town for IT. Excluding the few IT techs already in IT jobs.

They should stop naming software after years, it just feels old when there's a new year.

Hey - UT2004 is [i]still[/i] the best multiplayer FPS of all time. I'm still waiting on a proper sequel, not a watered-down, console-ified ripoff like UT3.
