A long time ago at best buy, I asked one of the workers about the quality of one of the graphics cards. His response: "You could probably wait a bit until you buy one of these. The newer games will just use your processor and Windows for a while."

Damn it Buttsex, you beat me to it.

[QUOTE=ButtsexV2;27489183]it is legal unless the kid is over 18 and payed for the computer with their own money that they actually worked for.[/QUOTE] It's not the parents property if you buy it yourself though, even if you are under 18. I bought my laptop, and it's legally mine, not my parents.

Not as far as the law is concerned. You're a minor, it's theirs. Unless it's like a car or whatever and the title's only in your name, but that's a different situation.

[QUOTE=FlakTheMighty;27489358]It's not the parents property if you buy it yourself though, even if you are under 18. I bought my laptop, and it's legally mine, not my parents.[/QUOTE] it's legally your parents' laptop if you're under 18

Fuck that shit. If my parents tried to install stuff on [i]my[/i] computers without my permission they would get heavily acquainted with the business end of a crowbar.

It's basically a keylogger with video.[/QUOTE] This is what happens. Parents watch Fox News. Get scared that their child is going to get sucked in and meet someone in real life. No talking to the child about general common sense, no "Just be skeptical of people who you meet online". Instead of thinking that the child has a brain, they just install a program so that the child has no freedom. It insults every intelligent under-18 who uses common sense and logic. This is almost as bad as [url=http://matrium.wordpress.com/2008/08/14/fda-approves-microchip-implantation-in-children/]Children getting microchipped.[/url]

[QUOTE=Dubious George;27491871]It insults every intelligent under-18 who uses common sense and logic.[/QUOTE] My friend has no freedom on his computer because all he did was go on a flash game site, and various porn pop-ups appeared everywhere. Right when his mom walked by.

It also says that, "I'm your mother/father. You don't have a brain and can't make decisions for yourself. I need to control everything you do or else you'll get raped."

[QUOTE=MacTrekkie;27492416]Yes, but only one of them means business :colbert:[/QUOTE] Does the other one mean party?

Crowbar in Swedish translates to "Cow's foot". [editline]automerge-failsafe[/editline] I might get a "Resident Swedish guy" title :3:

Considering the rate at things break down, it would be a disaster.

Once again, content from my "300$ headphones" friend (He's quite dumb, isn't he?). Well not exactly from him but from his father. You see, this guy is an IT dad, he's been working with computers since the early 90's. He hasn't renewed his knowledge since then. I argued with him for about 1 hour about how PCI-e 2.0 was retro-compatible with PCI-e 1.0. Even after I showed him official documentation, a wikipedia page, my own computer which is running a PCI-e 2.1 card in a PCI-e 1.0 slot, he still wouldn't believe me. He's also the reason my friend didn't get an upgrade, this guy thought Pentium Ds are on-par with Core 2 Duos. Once again, I showed him some proof and he still wouldn't believe me :smith: Okay, I think I post way too much in this thread...
