This one kid at my school thought was so bad ass because some one gave him a 16MB flash drive... He was all hoping around thinking he is some bad ass with lots of storage. Then I pull out my 16GB. You should of seen his face. It's the face you see, when you know, "I'm a puke. This guy is the bad ass holy god shit of everything."
[QUOTE=Comrade General;23302497]I love how i went to sleep because i woke up at 4am(despite having slept at 2am) And i had deliberately left my pc running to compile a model.
2pm, i wake up(went to bed at 10am) And my pc's been turned off [I]by the fucking button. no less.[/I] and the model compile has corrupted.
My stepdad LOVES turning off my PC by the button despite it probably going to cause a massive hemmorhage of my HDD In the future. Not to mention 3dsmax has been shut off by the pc going off. Making me loose another model i hadn't saved yet.
This is the same stepdad(no shit) who claimed leaving my pc on idle with only Utorrent(I was downloading LEGAL freeware.) running set my computer on fire and that the PSU was hot as shit([I]when it will be because it has been running for sixteen fucking hours. jesus shitting christ.[/I]) Despite me having the left side of the PC open and all fans on full.
He also claims he puts a rag over a knife and jams it down each side of my computer(It's boxed in a little wooden thing in my desk) to clean the dust from the [I]outside of the mother-shitting computer.[/I] I really REALLY hope he realizes if he does that to the open side he's either going to cut wires or get electrocuted.[/QUOTE]
Opening the side of your computer will just mess up the airflow and make your computer hotter.

I would've just rolled in with my 500GB external (i guess you could call it a flash drive because you don't have to plug it in).

Flash drive=flash storage
[QUOTE=Mike!;23330587]Flash drive=flash storage[/QUOTE]
Yeah I just did some googling. So my external 1TB hard drive that you have to plug in, the insides is basically a full tower hard drive, and my other 500GB one is something like a laptop hard drive??
computer teacher in middle school some years ago...
classroom PCs - IBM PC jr, floppy boot DOS and BASIC
Assignment: Make something in Basic
Well the teacher knew a little about computers from what he read and did on his windows 3.11 machine but he didn't know I had a BASIC book at home.
My computer partner was working on some lame ass picture in BASIC and i did nothing, He would get in my shit about not helping and I would tell him to cool it I got us covered.
At home I was programming a game in BASIC on my own floppy disk that was the same as the classroom disk
When the time came to present our work and after looking at other people lame ass work I pulled my disk and loaded the program.
The teacher was like "Uhh how?" with this stupid look on his face.
Needless to say we passed the class easily and from then on my time at this dump I called a school that teacher would call me down to his class to help him with his computer issues and explain stuff to the class if needed.
Goes to show not all teachers are smart because they teach a computer class.
The "Smartest" kid in the class was also made to look like a dumbass also and the moment was classic.
This toolbag would brag about his home computer and shit in class "Oh I can play doom and shit on my 386sx" bitch I had a 486DX2 Mofo (top of the line in that time period). then he would correct the teacher and shit with bad information blah blah.
too funny that day was.

Ya, the external drives that don't need a seperate power supply are all laptop drives.

Hopefully I'm going to be an IT Teacher but I'm definitely not going to be one of the IT Teachers that are like :downs: hurr durr make something in powerpoint :downs: like I used to have back in high school.

Zing!
And yeah, there are some nice USB 3.0 SSD external drives around now. Very pricey, but if you want super quick external storage there's your solution.

making shit in PP is more business related class not IT. IT should be more hands on like actually repairing computers and networks around campus, writing programs and websites, setting up servers, wifi, and networks of all types. Hands on learning is the best because if you actually "do it" you tend to soak it in better.
Any dumbass can take a PP tutorial and make something.

i don't think thats always true
but flash drive= flash memory
[img]http://www.coolest-gadgets.com/wp-content/uploads/phase-change-memory.jpg[/img]
As in flash drives, sd cards and solid state drives
And external hard drives are, well, hard drives. They have platters inside.
I took out the hard drive from an old external and am using it in my computer now

Never heard of USB 3.0
I helped my aunt format her eight years old shitty HP desktop, because of it being [B][I]EXTREMELY [/I][/B]slow. (As in, it taking like one minute for Internet Explorer to open)
[code] Specs:
AMD Athlon 64 1.6 GHz
512 mb DDR ram
ATi 9600
[/code]
I told her that she should buy more RAM, and also change her antivirus software from the resource hog known as F-Secure, into something free such as MSE or Avast!, but to no avail. She simply refused to listen to me.
"Fine", I thought to myself.
After about 3 hours, the earlier HDD content was whiped and Windows XP reinstalled and fully updated. And compared to how slow it was before the format, it was blazing fast.
Anyway, she tells me she can install the AV herself, and so I go home.
Later that day, she calls me and tells me that she'd just installed F-Secure, and that the PC was just as slow as it was before, and that "I obviously didn't reformat it correctly", and that she'll take it to a PC repair shop for them to reformat it "[B]CORRECTLY[/B]" for her.
I calmly told her "Fine. If you want to burn money, it's your choice. Because the problem isn't the reformation, it's F-Secure. If you want to keep on using it, and still have a fast PC, you'll need more RAM".
To which she replied with: "No. F-secure is a good anti-virus. You don't know what you're talking about".
I then hung up on her.

I guess you're in the right thread then?
[QUOTE=G71tc4;23301704]My Dad seems to think I'm intentionally out to sabotage computers. He spent an hour trying to print something, screaming obscenities the whole time. Eventually, as the "tech guy", he called me in, so I plugged the USB in to the computer.
Here's the best part:
He accused me of setting it up so he couldn't print his stuff out because I'm apparently a family-hating douche.[/QUOTE]
The same exact thing happens to me. Really, my parents scream at me all the time because I don't keep the printer plugged in.

Herp derp, he's never heard of USB 3.0 so he's illiterate and thinks he knows shit herp derp.
Everytime I fly back home I have to rework my mothers desktop. She likes to click on every link online and download crap people send her..
I told her not to do that shit but she still does it "I like my smilies and images" that are loaded with redirect codes and viruses and shit...

How old are you, 12?
USB 3.0 has been talked about for what must've been 2 years now and it's been available since the beginning of this year.

USB 2.0 is still mostly used on PC's. I don't know about you, but I've seen maybe 1 PC so far that was advertised with USB 3.0 ports.
Just because he doesn't know about something brand-spanking new development doesn't mean he's illiterate.

Well, im not a fan of computer technology, i just play games on my computer, I dont need to know about it as long as usb 2.0 is still supported.
Also, I built my own computer, that proves that I am not illiterate.

A) It was me being sarcastic (to be fair this is difficult to discern from my post)
B) Do you know the definition of illiterate, in the context of this thread? Just in case you don't (which appears to be the case), it means ignorant. I'm not suggesting he thinks he knows stuff about IT, but he certainly is ignorant if he hasn't heard of USB 3.0 (especially so, considering I can see google results from as far back as 2007).
I haven't been keeping up with this thread lately do I don't know if this has been posted yet. If it has, I'm sorry.
Anyway, this made me rage so hard:

owning a mac and posting on twitter does not make you a geek
Also, this may make me sound like an illiterate, but anyway, is OS X only compatible with a certain type of hardware (Such as, some kind of special motherboard), or could you technically just build a computer and install OS X on it?
Oh god. Here goes.
I'm still living at home (16 yo) and I usually give my mother money to buy games on Steam for me, because I don't have a credit card. Anyways, my dad seems to think that if he sees a $50 charge on his bill labelled "STEAM GAMES" He is paying monthly $50 dollars for this program. He then proceeds to bitch at me about how I'm spending too much monthly on computer games and I should cancel the subscription. I then try to explain to him that it isn't monthly, and I am giving the money to a parent to buy the game. He doesn't understand still.
My father, the person who gets confused at a freaking remote. (So I press STB(set top box) if I want to control the volume, and TV if I want to control the channels?) *Sigh*
