Computer illiterate people who think they know things V5 = I FLICK PSU VOLTAGE SWITCH - Hardware & Software

[QUOTE=NeoShinsei;24263154]So my friend is addicted to MW2 (On the 360) and he saw some hacks on youtube (these were catalyst hacks, a PC hack). He stuck it onto a flash drive and plugged it into his xbox. He told me that he had gotten some hacks for MW2, but they didnt work. I asked whether he had a modded xbox or not and he replied no. He sent me a link to the hacks that he downloaded and i noticed that they were PC hacks. I told him this and he just said: "But PC's are made by Microsoft, like my xbox. So shouldn't it work on my xbox too?". :eng99:[/QUOTE] This reminds me of a conversation I had with a friend of mine who plays both PS3 and Xbox 360 about how PC gaming was better. It was pretty much your standard "PC is better" talk, I was going over moddablility, controls and multiplayer being all round better. I think that at this point he was aware that he was losing, so he rolls out this goldie. "You use windows don't you?" "Yes..." "Right, so PC gaming can't be better because microsoft owns all your PCs and the Xbox, so they make it all the same :downs: ." "Yeah, microsoft just made the operating system, the games and things like steam are made by people who have nothing to do with microsoft." "Yeah but microsoft [I]owns[/I] the PC" Then he had to get off the bus, and we never spoke of it again.

[QUOTE=Sgt-NiallR;24263688] "Yeah but microsoft [I]owns[/I] the PC"[/QUOTE] I wonder what he would have said if someone told him that they had build their own computer by themselves?

Friend of mine posted his speedtest.net result to Facebook today along with the caption: "Why the hell is my download speed so much faster than my upload -.-".

They usually sell them at overclockers.net. That's your only bet. They're pretty expensive too, you'll have to stick with gaming on the 360." He'll either spend hours looking for something that doesn't exist or go back to his fucking 360.

[QUOTE=cbrain;24264346]Friend of mine posted his speedtest.net result to Facebook today along with the caption: "Why the hell is my download speed so much faster than my upload -.-".[/QUOTE] I always have to ask "Why the hell is my upload speed so much faster than my download :("

[QUOTE=daijitsu;24268301]no wonder I never have computer problems, my keyboard wears a tie 24/7[/QUOTE] maybe because it's all [B]tie[/B]d up? Ontopic: Three of my classmates are getting Alienware's. THREE. I tried to convince them to build it theirselves, but they wouldn't listen. I hope they enjoy their over-rated and over-expensive PC's witch probably comes with a trial verison of norton.

In 7th grade, our Integrated Tech (IT (Computer Class)) teacher tried to explain computer programming to the class when many of us actually DO computer programming and we ended up taking over the lesson.

Not that bad, but today we were looking for my printer cable (the one that plugs into my computer), and I described what it looked like to my parents, and they pulled out the ethernet cord from the wall and said "Is this it?"

From another forum I used to visit: [quote="Moron #1"] I dont bileve Microsoft is killing the industry. [b]Windows 7 compared to any Linux based OS is far more advanced.[/b] I had no problem paying 320 bucks for Ultimate.[/quote] [img]http://img529.imageshack.us/img529/2989/happymad.gif[/img] My reaction: [quote="Sonicfan574"] And Linux not being as advanced as 7? Are you high? Windows doesn't force you to do half of your tasks in the command line, Windows comes with everything needed to run the computer out of the box while Linux distros make you do a whole pile of other crap like manually download drivers for everything, and Linux has a complicated filesystem that stores program files in several different locations while in Windows it's all in the Program Files folder. Compared to Linux, Windows is basically an OS for the computer illiterate.[/quote] [quote="Moron #2"]Technically complicated doesn't mean better. In the eyes of most it means worse. By your logic DOS was supreme*.[/quote] *What the hell convinced you to think this? [quote="Moron #1"]whats so bad about that? Yes I just love getting a headache and wasting my days off of work trying to get crap to work properly, all to save 200 bucks. Nah, I like the fact things are reliable and set up for me already so I can enjoy my time playing games and surfing the web[/quote] Obviously a fucking retard. I never said either were better, and being able to do things easily does not technically mean "advanced" [quote="Sonicfan574"] You said Windows 7 was more advanced than Linux. Easy and advanced have two completely different definitions. Get them straight.[/quote] [quote="Moron #1"] okay, um it is more advanced. It has far more features, Apps designed for the .NET frame and DX Tools and whatever linux can do Windows can easily do too.[/quote] Far more programs and features does not mean it is advanced. [quote="Sonicfan574"] Try building a makefile from Linux, and then try it with Windows. Tell me which one you run into problems with. Try visiting tons of virus-prone websites with Linux, then try it with Windows. Tell me which one requires reinstallation. All of your points have also been invalid so far, third-party applications don't really justify whether an OS is advanced or not.[/quote] I was then later flamed by the entire thread and called a Linux fanboy repeatedly. Moron #1 also claims that he builds computers, yet whenever he talked about computers on that forum he never knew what he was talking about. I do agree I was sort of an idiot near the end but still

One time my uncle was saying the processor in his tv was 60hz and he wanted to get a 120hz because it was twice as better.

This kid in my grade got a nice pair of sennheiser headphones (I'm guessing around $60+) He's a snowboarder fag who buys stuff so he can be noticed. So i bought like a $15 pair of skullcandys on amazon and traded them to him. He acted as though i got ripped off
