It's a combination of 4 programs (For GUI changes) and a custom skin.

90% of youtube comments on Crysis videos.
[QUOTE=Wayword]Or you can buy the entire Valve pack thing, with like a dozen+ games for 100 bucks.
Totally worth it.[/QUOTE]
AKA, 2 Xbox 360 games!
I was in the tech office at school, just chattin' up the nerds.
When this girl comes in and says 'Yeah, my screen blew up.'
The tech behind the counter gives the obviouse response, coupled with a look of complete bewilderment.
He opens the laptop, turns it on, and the resolution was just shot to shit.
Yes, lady. You screen 'blew up'.
There is absolutely no one that goes to my school that knows about computers. I wish I had someone to geek out with.
I overheard these two guys talking about graphics cards the other day, and I was really excited like, "Wow, some people who know stuff!" only to have my hopes shattered once I realized they were clearly making things up... such as the "Spider 2" the fastest graphics card ever that no one knows about yet. :sigh:

All of my friends are completely illiterate. Some don't even know what their operating system is.
It's also kind of nice sometimes, because they usually go "Woah, damn you're good with computers" when I'm talking about the next one I'm building.

"My computer is giving me an error message. It shouldn't though, I just deleted all the files in system 32, but I never used those. Everything should still work right?"[/QUOTE]
Hahahahaha. My friend knows someone that did that aswell...
They found out a virus was storing its files in the System32 folder, so they went to it and straight up deleted their recycle bin before my friend could tell them. Hahaha.

THat's quite entertaining to see.
I hate people that calls the computer case for a hard drive. It's like they think the computer consists of two things... A monitor and a hard drive. And if the computer isn't working properly they say that there is something wrong with the hard drive.

Too many bits, not enough bytes. That's always the problem.
[quote]Customer: "Email! I won't have anything to do with that Internet or modems of any sort! You should be careful about those. Don't you know that once you install a modem, the government can look into your computer and watch everything you do? That's why every night before I go to bed, I turn the monitor to the wall."[/quote]
Apparently government watch you fap thru monitor!
Something that annoys me is that people sometimes say Nintendo instead of the real console name (DS, Wii, ect.) :argh:
I love it when people are computer illiterate. Just the other day I got $40 for resetting a guy's router :D

Yeah, take my mom's ex-boss.
He bought a $1,800 iMac, and asked me to install XP on it for him.
When I was done, I asked why he bought it, since his other computer was 6 months old.
He said, "Well, I heard that if you have a Mac, you will NEVER get a virus."
I facepalmed, right in front of him.
My mum thinks she's a fucking genius with computers because she had one (read: not used) sitting in the living room since I was 3.
Today at school some guy said he plays Halo 3 on his computer. I basically said "bullshit". So then he goes on to say that PCs and Xbox 360 games are
backwards compatible and that 360s are PCs because they have, and I quote,
"High end RAMs, fast CPUs and processors, fast graphics cards, and they're connected to the internet". Seriously, that's exactly what he said. I facepalmed right there.

I once asked someone who had a problem with their computer
"right, so what laptop is it?"
"it has vista"
I hung up.
I get annoyed when people call my computer repair shop expecting free technical support.
My computer teacher, yes computer teacher knows nothing about computers. Switches have NOTHING to do with computer cpu's. I was like FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF
Or
I use a super secret OS that isn't mac linux or Windows and can run 2 programs at once with no time out. It's called UNIX!
or
I have 4 CPU's and 4 gigs of ram at 800MHZ, and a 1 gig vedio card that means I can play everything on maxium
MAKES ME WANNA RAGE

Yeah Computers teachers are the worst offenders, mine who is actually supposed to know how to use Excel had to look up half the commands on google and asks me for help when things go wrong, I wouldn't mind but I have work to do too I don't want to waste my time helping people who don't even care about their GCSE.
Then again they are also fun, last years group took the doorhandles off a cupboard and locked the teacher in there.

Worst thing to me is when older people (like my parents)
call pokemon; pokeman,
an xbox; a gameboy,
an Xbox 360; an Xbox
and the wii; a nintendo.
[quote] * Customer: "You people owe me a new computer."
* Tech Support: "You're having trouble with your computer? What seems to be the problem?"
* Customer: "Well, I bought some memory from you people, and ever since I installed it into my computer, it's been doing nothing but making grinding noises, and nothing works anymore!"
* Tech Support: "Grinding noises?? It shouldn't be doing that!"
* Customer: "I know that! That's why you people owe me a new computer, and I'm going to charge you for lost downtime and my inconvenience."
Grinding noises from SIMMs? This was a new one.
* Tech Support: "Sir, did you install those chips yourself or did someone do it for you?"
* Customer: "I'm not an idiot! I did it myself. I put them right in that slot in the front of the computer, smart aleck."

Hahahah.
[quote] * Customer: "Do you know about this RAM stuff?"
* Tech Support: "Yes sir, I can help you with RAM."
* Customer: "Well, your program uses 12 grams of RAM, and this computer you gave me only has 10 grams of RAM, so you need to send me another 4 grams of RAM."
At this point I was speechless. I wasn't sure which was worse, that this guy couldn't do basic math or that he had the term so twisted. However, our calls were recorded so I couldn't say what I really wanted to.
* Tech Support: "Uh, sir, that computer has plenty of RAM to run the program."
* Customer: "Just send me the grams of RAM I've asked for!"

What?
Good thing I don't have friends talking shit. They don't even know what PC is standing for.
