[QUOTE=ThatDamnGrei;17769477]Mine doesn't. The only thing that's blocked on ours are certain websites (AKA 90% of the internet)[/QUOTE] thats a limitation. therefore you do have it.
My Dad thinking that everything that's a download is a virus.
[QUOTE=BananasGoMoo;17769535]thats a limitation. therefore you do have it.[/QUOTE] There's a difference between limiting your web access and stopping you from fucking with the computers/network, he doesn't have the limitations you do Haha, my dad just asks questions and I answer them, he doesn't try to blame all the problems on me :v:
HAHAHa I'm building some computers for friends of mine, and one of their fathers (a mac user) had this to say: what i was saying is that i was talking with dad about you two and buying comps: he says its all very well to do that. but you can loose up to 40% of your power by having cheap crosswires, you also have to make sure your components are compatible (so that they work fast enough) if not you might as well buy a premade machine it made my night

i now get quized at school about what to get to attach something to a monitor, and all because i brought a pc with half decent spec
[QUOTE=BananasGoMoo;14740478]i'm in the "Computer Literates" section. i know a lot about computers but theres some stuff i dont know. except you guys will prolly call me a noob for not knowing this: is GHz like processor speed? cuz in my monitor settings theres a tab where you can change Hertz and i dont see the point of that...[/QUOTE] Ok, CRT's, LCD's, and LED's have a refresh rate. It's how fast the monitor can update the image. Most are 60Hz, which is 60FPS. You can change the hertz in the settings in case you have a funky/broken monitor that is faster/slower.

[QUOTE=McSanchezV2;17784289]LED monitors?[/QUOTE] an LED monitor is one where there are 3 small LED's (red, green, blue) per pixel. this allows for very accurate colors, because there is no backlight.
[QUOTE=McSanchezV2;17784289]LED monitors?[/QUOTE] [url]http://www.samsung.com/uk/experience/television/led/index.html[/url] an example of LED screen [editline]12:03AM[/editline] and Hertz is a general unit of frequency
Light Emmiting Diode there are lots of these arranged in an array to make up the screen double :ninja:'d
nvm =.=
Wow that's the first time I've heard of LED monitors. Cool.
The samsung screens don't have LED pixels, merely LED backlight. They're still LCD. Now this is a real LED display: [url]http://www.sonystyle.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?catalogId=10551&storeId=10151&productId=8198552921665327724[/url]

Banned from any PC in school because my external HDD apparently "has a virus on it and will fuck the network over". [highlight]THEY WANT A VIRUS? ILL SHOW THEM WHAT A FUCKING VIRUS REALLY IS[/highlight]

ILL SHOW THEM WHAT A FUCKING VIRUS REALLY IS[/highlight][/QUOTE] No you won't, you'll just talk big on the internet. If you actually got banned from the school PC network it's more likely you were being a mischievous 09'er trying to use command prompt to 'bring down the system' or some other stupidly simple highschool computer network exploit. This thread is full of fabricated stories about how everyone is superior to the people who only know how to sign onto facebook. Regardless, I'll post my gripe. I can't stand people that still pay for and use AOL's software when they have a perfectly good copy of Mozilla Firefox on their system.
Dude im not 10 years old i was just a little late to join FP all i was doing was playing UT2004 off of the HDD and a teacher came up then "lolbanned me" i will cram the matrix virus on there if i can find its code

Ask someone why they dont like AOL they will answer "TV said it's bad so it has to be."
