[QUOTE=CoolCorky;24107175]"How can you connect your computer to a TV a TV is for watching shows and playing video games"[/QUOTE] annoyingly its not as simple as it should be, i dont see why the tvs and computer moniters use different plugs. if i wanted to hook my xbox up to my monitor, i would have to buy al sorts of overpriced adapters to get sound. just happy since HDMI rolled around its been alot easier.

[QUOTE=jimhowl33t;23983831]Not exactly illiteracy, but still poking fun at little idiots who know little about computers. Playing tf2 after a 2-week hiatus, I decided to start with 2fort to get warmed up with easy scores. I quickly noticed a Spy who kept doing the same route over and over, despite the fact I (and others) kept killing him in many ways. The server had sv_alltalk 1, so we could (sadly) hear his annoying prepubescent voice as he was moaning and bitching. The best part went basically like this: Kid: Stop killing me you [bunch of random insult]or I will wreck your shit My teammate: Well, our job is based on killing you, and yours is wrecking our shit. Sooo... Kid: [barely containing a rage cry filled with unmanly tears] SHUT UP YOU STUPID FUCK I WILL HACK YOU Me: yeah right, how so? Kid: Don't question my ability, my computer has 3 gigs of ram and I know DOS. Teammate: Uhh... and how's that going to be a danger for us? Kid: Hahaha, now you wish to know all my secrets, look who's begging for help now! Me: [trying not to laugh] too bad I've already backtraced your IP as you were speaking. Get ready for rape. Kid: [trying not to sound worried] Bullshit! I will delete your system 35 if you don't leave me alone! Me: Well, try to stop me now... Bobby. Apparently he was really named Bobby because he quit screaming. But I am still worried that one day he'll open his system 35 with DOS to unleash his 3 gigs of ram to wreck my shit.[/QUOTE] Lol, Just same as my friend Nik3, He keeps saying he will hack my pc and all servers if I don't give him the shit he wants. If I won't give him the shit he goes rage and removes me and adds me back the next day like nothing happend. Lol.

I only have a SCART-adaptable TV which doesn't even support a Playstation One so yeah

I hope i'm not derailing the thread for you guys but 4rawrs is talking about this adapter. [URL]http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16874103025&cm_re=xbox_360_vga-_-74-103-025-_-Product[/URL] It comes with the female-female vga adapter, as well as a 3.5mm coupler for sound. It's all you'll need.

Content (sort of): So my dad and I had to help my grandma with her computer yesterday, and on the phone (couldn't get worse), so we're trying our best so she can understand. At first, we tried to have her shut down her computer. "Click start and-" "OH!! The START thing?!" "Yeah, then click shut down..." "OKAY I clicked on it, it says "Restart, Shut Down, Sleep." "Just click 'Shut Down'." But that's not the worst of it. The computer turns off, now to turn it back on. "Now turn your computer back on." "It's just black." "See the thing that says "DELL"? Push the button right under it." "There's no button under it, there's some to the side, this circle thing with a line... oh and a notepad with an arrow... then a plus and minus." "No, turn on your computer. The big white box with the silver front." "Oh I don't have anything like that. Do you mean the tower?" "Yes." "Oh I call that 'the tower.' I'm pushing the "DELL" thing, but nothing's happening." "Push the button under it." "Oh it turned on." Then we had to help her get to hotmail. :doh: She doesn't pretend to know things, but it sure was frustrating. Her computer: [img_thumb]http://best-value-prices-online.com/images/10327_1.jpg[/img_thumb]

My mom is convinced the reason I don't get automatically logged into my bank account is because I have a non-static IP and it has nothing to do with not saving cookies, the webpage is "looking for the same computer that logged into it last time"

My mom ALWAYS searches through Bing for "Facebook Login" to get to Facebook, and it requires her to type in her password every time. If I just go straight to Facebook, she's already logged in.

[QUOTE=4rawrs2;24110026]Her computer: [img_thumb]http://best-value-prices-online.com/images/10327_1.jpg[/img_thumb][/QUOTE] I can see where she's coming from, that Dell logo does look damn like a button.

But still, if you don't even know how to turn a computer on, you shouldn't even have one in the first place..

According to your logic, the only people who should be able to use a computer are the ones that first invented the system of computer being powered on by a button on the case. Everybody has to start somewhere.

I wonder how much money you could making selling "Computer Labeling Service" like here is the power button.

not illiteracy but anybody else hate it when people with greasy fingers touch your stuff? I have a bottle of rubbing alcohol and cotton balls sitting around because of it.

Ah, mine is for my keyboard and my mouse.

[QUOTE=Waffle99;24113844]not illiteracy but anybody else hate it when people with greasy fingers touch your stuff?

And that's AFTER he washes his hands...

I remember in like, third grade when we were working on word. Sometimes one of us would hit the magical button "insert" by accident, and as no-one in the class knew the solution we just restarted the program. It's still anooying when it happens.

newspaper clipping on how to be smart with computers: [img_thumb]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/10141934/compfunny.jpg[/img_thumb]

I learnt about insert in 1st grade, where the hell did you go to school?

I hate with a passion when people use my mouse and keyboard. People with their greasy fingers and such. My mom's mouse scroll wheel is so slicked down with lotion there's no way in hell you're gonna be able to use it, and smooth keyboard buttons just feel nasty, I like the crisp clean feel of a new keyboard.

[QUOTE=Agent Texas;24114849]I learnt about insert in 1st grade, where the hell did you go to school?[/QUOTE] my school never taught us shit about the actual usage of computers barring pressing the filter button on photoshop and the "new slide" in powerpoint. oh, and we had to memorize that ram stood for "random access memory" without actually telling us what it did. heh. "it randomly accesses the memory to show you pictures!"

My school never taught us anything outside of how to point and click with a mouse until at least 4th grade when we started typing, then 6th grade came about and we suddenly moved up to things like writing out HTML from scratch.

[QUOTE=Agent Texas;24114849]I learnt about insert in 1st grade, where the hell did you go to school?[/QUOTE] Most schools are absolute shit when it comes to computer education. Many computer teachers aren't very tech literate themselves.
