I keep the stickers on my case, so I can see what kind of junk I had inside.

I know it was meant for "comedy" but I just had an aneurysm from rage. I'm going to post this here so I don't feed the troll. His point about the them looking clean...neither one of them have have a window....or even a fan for the side. So it wouldn't matter either way. :hurr:

Do you usually get stickers from components? I built 2 computers so far and I've never gotten a sticker. Anyways, read the first bullet. [IMG]http://i285.photobucket.com/albums/ll46/jaehead/increasedframerates.png[/IMG] This is Comcast by the way.

Haha, I think they mean ping? :P

[quote] * him: "i can download games like quake and play them during lunch, you know." * me: "we're only allowed 10 megs in our accounts, and the system administrators would notice you downloading a large file." * him: "nah, i could hack it so he couldn't." * me: "ah, so you are into hacking. By the way do you know any programming languages?" * him: "yeah, of course." * me: "which ones?" * him: "i can't tell you or else you'll use them." * me: "just by mentioning c++ or pascal or whatever will not instantly make me a genius with those languages." * him: "oh sorry, i didn't understand you. Yeah, i know c++ and pascal." * me: "what compiler do you use?" * him: "well, qbasic is my favorite." * me: "nobody over the age of eight uses qbasic for serious purposes." * him: "but they made windows with qbasic." i almost cried laughing. [/quote] [editline]06:34pm[/editline] [quote]as a hobby, i run old computer viruses on a standalone pc and record the effects, which i then put on youtube. One user, who decided that i needed some help, offered me the following foolproof advice for removing viruses without expensive antivirus software: * step 1: Open the registry. * step 2: Delete anything that looks "strange." [/quote] [editline]06:41PM[/editline] [quote]A teenage lad and his mother called in to our shop and approached me. The mother announced her son needed a virus killer for his computer. The Atari ST had been out a year or two, and Amiga computers were rapidly gaining popularity at the time, and both machines had viruses being passed around on floppy disks. So we asked the son which of those computers he had. He muttered to his mother again, and she announced her son had an Amstrad 464 -- which only had a built-in cassette deck and no floppy drive whatsoever. After we explained that it was the more modern computers which had floppy disk drives that got viruses, the mother calmly stated that the virus had been on his friend's new ST computer and that her son and his friend had played a few games on it. The virus had passed from the friend's computer directly to her son, and thence, later that evening, from her son to his aforementioned Amstrad 464! Boggling, but still polite, we patiently explained that although computer viruses existed, they could not be "caught" by human beings and passed on to other computers by physical contact. The word "virus" was, we told her, slang that referred to hostile code that replicated itself when a disk was inserted into a computer, not an actual biological virus. Her son's computer probably had just gone faulty and needed a repair. Smiling smugly, and after informing us her son knew about computers (and that we didn't), they left the store to search for more computer-savvy tech support. [/quote] [editline]06:42PM[/editline] [quote]I received a call from a woman. She had been told in a previous call that her computer was infected by a trojan virus and wanted to know where to begin disinfecting the computer. I asked her what software she was using, but she sounded a little confused. After a few minutes, I learned that she had dismantled her computer and was preparing to wipe everything down with Lysol, a disinfecting cleaner. It took me another minute to compose myself and try to tell her to stop before she ruined her computer. I don't know if she did, as I never heard from her again -- and it took me ten minutes to stop laughing. [/quote] [editline]06:53PM[/editline] [quote]In about 1993, Cambridge University had a few rooms of 486s, for use by members of the University. You could get into the rooms at any time of day if you had a key, and the site security would walk around every hour or so at night. One policy, introduced after a few too many noisy games of network Doom, was that playing games wasn't allowed. One evening, however, I saw someone using eXceed (an X-Windows server for Microsoft Windows) to run Motif. Apparently he was doing something on one of the UNIX machines over the network. The security guard came up behind him, and the conversation went something like this: * Security Guard: "Could you stop that -- you're not allowed to play games in here." * Student: "This isn't a game." * Security Guard: "You can't fool me. That's not work." * Student: "Yes, it is. I'm a computer science student -- I've got a deadline later this week." * Security Guard: "That doesn't look like work to me. I'm going to have to ask you to leave." * Student: "What? I'm working. I'm working quietly. Why do I have to leave?" * Security Guard: "You're playing a game, and you're lying to me. Out. Now. Before I turn this machine off." Even the other two people in the room couldn't persuade the security bloke that it wasn't a game. [/quote]

That last one happened to me. The old turtle of a security guard brought me to the office once because I was working on a 3d model during my lunch hour.

[QUOTE=Comrade General;23254630]Story about a security guard[/QUOTE] I probably would've exploded at the guard. I would be all like "IT ISN'T A GAME YOU FUCKING RETARD! ARE YOU BLIND? CAN YOU NOT SEE THAT I'M DOING WORK?" And then I would've been beaten up.

We were discussing whether or not a Zune was better than an iPod Touch[QUOTE=Someone]Me: The Zune's screen might be smaller, but at least it's widescreen. Friend: The iTouch's screen is widescreen too Me: No it's not, it's a 4:3 ratio Friend: Oh, I don't go by ratios Me: ??[/QUOTE]

[QUOTE=Mike!;23268034]Zune pfft[/QUOTE] whats wrong with the zune.

[QUOTE=Mattk50;23268314]whats wrong with the zune.[/QUOTE] The battery on one I had gave out pretty quick, and besides that the DRM on the music was terrible. If you didn't pay the monthly subscription, you lost the ability to listen to all the music you downloaded.

Which is why you buy it by song.

[QUOTE=Computermaster;23268802]Which is why you buy it by song.[/QUOTE] If you don't want to make the RIAA mad that is. When I had a Zune I don't know if they allowed you to purchase by song, I think the only option was the subscription.

If I put on command prompt at my school computer, everyone freaks out. "He's hacking! Oh my god!!!!" Now I do it just to piss them off.

I bought a zune 40gb because everyone was getting an iphone and i decided to be different. Its terrible at most things it does

[QUOTE=ButtsexV2;23268248]sansa clip is the only way to go for dedicated media players.[/QUOTE] Fuck that shit. Zii Egg whore.

i dont know what zune you guys are using, my zune's battery is great and theres no DRM on the music. way more open than itunes. you have to be pretty thick to go for the subscription option, you pay 15$ and get to keep 10 songs, but you can listen to as much free music as you want while the subscription is still going. obvious gimmick.

[QUOTE=ButtsexV2;23268248]sansa clip is the only way to go for dedicated media players.[/QUOTE] Yes! A story: My mom was using my laptop today when UAC popped up. She started apologizing to me because she thought she broke my computer. I was entertained, and she learned how to what button to click for which .exe files.

If you were to use your 10 credits on new/popular songs ($1.29/pop in iTunes/Zune/Amazon), roughly $13 for all 10 songs. The tagging/streaming/unlimited access to the market is well worth the remaining $2. (Zune HD owner here) Also, Did you know you can freeze a computer using the beep command in Java if you put it in a sufficiently long loop?

fuck apple products.. they all suck.

[QUOTE=melindagreen;23272278]fuck apple products.. they all suck.[/QUOTE] And when they don't, they are completely fucking overpriced.

[QUOTE=melindagreen;23272278]fuck apple products.. they all suck.[/QUOTE] I've had my iPod touch for two years and it has served me fine. The battery is good for my usage, and there are alot of apps and games to make it well worth purchasing. After jailbreaking you can also run NES, SNES, Gameboy Advance games, Genesis etc emulators too. I've found that I use it way more than my PSP, and it makes a change for a "portable" multimedia player to actually fit in your pocket. So no, they don't all suck.
