[QUOTE=4rawrs2;24146206]Hit it. With your hand. I'm not kidding, I've got an old Mac that has a poor connection (something up with the monitor and display adapter in the motherboard) so no display, but when you smack it, the screen turns on. It could be the screen, or the computer is messed up.[/QUOTE]
Dude hitting shit is always the answer. Any time I have a problem I either smack it or kick it with my right foot.
My 360 red ringed once and I kicked it like a foot ball. It hit my wall and I hooked it back up and worked perfectly fine. The plastic case is a bit fucked up and the faceplate is broken but it works perfectly fine.

It's a Power Mac G3 and it's not a graphics card problem.
Good luck fixing that by hitting it.

I was in school today, arguing with my friend about how PC gaming is so much better. There was the usual stuff, like "Halo is ossum olololol" But the thing that started getting me was, he first said "Xbox graphics are way better than PC" and "What do you mean only PC's get mods? I just bought a modded Xbox controller from Ebay!"
If you remember from way back in V4 or V3, I talked about him. He still believes that all computers are exactly the same, and they just have to upgrade them every few years to add more storage and disc drives.

If you actually have a clue you can easily make them feel dumb and or agree with you.
It's easy. Also I like Halo.

And that is how I got a free laptop (well, sans the price of a new keyboard) from somebody who smashed their fist into it.
Really? I just hit the Laptop button on my mac. It's right next to free lunch.

Oh yeah, Halo is a good game, but he's that kid who's greatest acheivement in life is a big multikill in Halo.
And I think he's immune to feeling dumb. I tell him all these facts, and he changes the subject to Halo again.

Oh haha I didn't see that before. Good one.
Stupid question since I've never formatted from the command line, what's the /fs:ntfs switch mean?
don't quote me on this but I think it signifies the way your drive organizes and handles data.
I think it may be that since it's referencing ntfs.
[QUOTE=ExplodingGuy;24150111]It reformats the selected driveto NTFS, without completely erasing all information in the selected drive. Backup is still recommended, as it may erase if a hard reformat is required.[/QUOTE]
Thank you for explaining that. I didn't know you could even attempt a format like that...

[QUOTE=kmlkmljkl;24133772]So basically, it's the worst school ever?[/QUOTE]
Best in English. Worst in computers.
Seriously, other school get good computers and learn all these photoshop and programming stuffs with good internet access. While my school NEW computer teacher who knows NOTHING about computer sit on the table and play FarmVille on her netbook while the students type stuffs on the whiteboard onto PIRATED Kingsoft Writer because my school can't even afford to buy Microsoft Word.
This sucks, I miss the old teacher which actually knows about computers.
Also my school, The computer lab has no Internet. And the Library only have internet running from 7am to 11am.

Hah, Try pirated photoshop elements, premiere elements, office suite 2007, pirated windows server 2003, Pretty much every piece of software used by the school is pirated.
[QUOTE=cccritical;24124509]not trying to start shit but if you can't trust Wikipedia when it outright quotes from other renowned sources you might as well not use sources[/QUOTE]
If you can't get by without using Multivac for morons, you may as well never go to college.
This isn't shit you can start. Wikipedia isn't a valid source, as noted by every school of worth and business on the planet. Deal with it.

Ermm, you absolutely sure? Nothing PowerPC based (G3, G4, G5) can run Windows or anything under Boot Camp. Only Intel based Macs can.
Some kid at school was complaining about how his PS3's HDD was full.
I asked him if you could hook up an external USB hard drive, he said no.
He followed up with "but neither can PC becuz pc is gai!!!!"

[QUOTE=FireBlaze;24133397]My school library has computers and everyone was downloading all these internet browser stuffs.
Then when I downloaded the Firefox Beta4b. The librarian came and said
'why did you download that MODZILLA Firefox? It spoils the computer, can't you see how slow the computer here are?'
I kept quiet because I didn't know what to say, if I laughed she'll kick me out of the library. Then I realized the best thing about my school.
They have one wired LAN router, the other a Wireless router/modem combo(they didn't bother to protect it with password so free internet for us). That small firewall thing for internet protection. And every computer owned by the school MUST be protected by Norton.
My school is a no.1 Norton supporter.[/QUOTE]
Hah you think you have it bad, As well as stated before everything including the shitty template used for the site is pirated the school has a RAGING DELL HARD-ON, I actually had to argue with principal over bringing anything thats not a dell laptop to school. We use McAffee (Only because it's what dell gives you on their pc's) for absolutely everything anti-viral and when I brought up the whole "Optiplex 97% Failure rate" thing he said that it was user error. Yeah because that many people can cause capacitors to leak, explode and expand, It's totally their fault. I hate that dick.
Trying to use my dad's computer with him and subsequently explaining his viruses to him was frustrating.
I go to click on a google link and it takes me to a fake URL which then redirects back to where I wanted to go - but not always, sometimes a totally different and probably virus ridden site.
I notice this and tell my dad he's got something redirecting him all over the place.
Dad: "That's not a redirect."
"Yeah it is."
"No, it's not a redirect."
"See, watch me click this link. It takes me to a fake google link first - does that look like a regular google search link to you?"
"Yes I know that, but it's not a redirect. A redirect is a different thing."
"No, this is a virus causing redirects in your google searches."
"First of all it's not a virus, second of all a redirect is where it takes you to somewhere you didn't want to you."
"Yes but dad, it DID take you somewhere you didn't want to go, but then back to where you did. Do you see how that's TWO redirects? Just because you got to your desired destination doesn't mean there wasn't a middleman who REDIRECTED you there. And what, yes it is a virus."
"No, a redirect takes you to somewhere I don't want to go. And this isn't a virus, it's a redirect."
"It's a virus causing you to redirect dad it's not doing it on it's own."
"Yes I know it's not doing it on it's own but that's not what a virus is."
I'll stop to be polite but IT JUST KEEPS GOING LIKE THIS no matter how calm and concise I am. I ended up just saying 'go away and let me fix it'.
