I can't confront him because i'm genuinely not angry enough. I was just pretty much on fire when i wrote that. I would confront him but i'd probably get punished/break up the family over it.

I am so glad that my parents listen to me and are slightly literate

any step-dad that knows his shit NEVER pushes a stepson... he just doesn't have the authority.

Don't hate on chiptunes.
Not really computer illiteracy, but a really common question people ALWAYS ask me is "if I get a VGA cable for my Xbox, can I plug it into my laptop and use it as a monitor?" I don't know why, but people are REALLY persistent on being able to do this. I always say no. And they always ask why. And I just say that the VGA port is for output ONLY. For some, that's enough to convince them. For others, they say "I'm sure you could download a driver or something". I say "download all the drivers you want, but it will never work". Someone actually had the nerve to say I was making up shit as I went and he's going to buy that cable and get it to work.
Not surprisingly, it didn't work.
Sometimes though, I get the same question, but about the HDMI port on some newer laptops.

Would be cool if you could do it though.
[QUOTE=Comrade General;23363643]...i've never come this close to wanting to physically grapple a man stronger than me and snap his neck at the speed of light before.. But i want to now.
I went for a dump and when i returned, the internet had gone out. I checked everyone's computers. Yep.
I turned off the router. My stepdad instinctively (metaphorically) put on his retardo-lander costume and assisted me. I turned off the router and he was like "NO NO NO ITS JUST THE WIRES AT THE BACK" and continued to press every wire fifteen times while i went upstairs and laid on my bed to calm down.
I returned and turned it back on, Nope. So i decided to try and switch the ADSL/Phone line connector. My stepdad went "ITS NOT THAT IT'S THE KNOBS([I]stop right there. HE CAN'T. CALL. A WIRE. A WIRE.[/I]) AT THE BACK" And he went "ITS NOT THE COMPUTER ITS PROBABLY YOUR TOWER" At that point i just broke and shouted "It's always me isn't it. Always fucking me" And walked out the back door. Doing so i threw the ADSL connector onto the floor in a fucking rage. I realized why my brother refuses to help them.
I was called back inside by my mother who went "We're not changing routers, it's not the router, let him fix it." I tried to explain it isn't the fucking router but it was worthless and she told me to let him fix it so i slammed the door and stomped off. i laid down on my bed to calm down. Thrice my stepdad came up and explained that he knows how to fix everything and he's god's gift to computers. I decided 2 things. I wouldn't make him a card for his birthday on friday nor would i ever help him again.
I went back down and checked my brother's PC. bingo. fixed.
I walked in to get patro-fucking-nized by him "It's on now it wasn't the router it was the knobs at the back. probably your tower. you have a loose connection" And more bullshit. so i walked off. pissed. I explained to my mother who went "only he knows how to fix it" and i went "No he doesn't" And tried to explain how the internet likes to fail and return at odd times. and that he didn't fix it. and she kept going "But he did." until i gave up.
I returned to my computer to find the ape-handed bastard had knocked out my keyboard and mouse simeltaneously in his ham-fisted attempt to plug my internet in properly.
TL;DR: Read the fucking story.[/QUOTE]
I think I would only get angry at the fact that he knocked out your keyboard and mouse. Never fuck with someone's keyboard and mouse as they have it set up completely to their preference.

SSDs? so those overpriced drives also wear out after rewriting whats on them a few times? that sucks.
After reading the above, makes me feel happy that my parents are computer illiterate, but at least they know it and leave everything to me in that area. my dad even tries to understand stuff. my mom freaks out when she has to use a mouse though, its like it takes a minute to line up the mouse pointer with a link. lol.

If by "a couple" you mean tens of thousands of times then yes.

It is expensive, but you do pay so that guy "forces himself on you" if you know what I mean... Certain people are into that kind of thing and they are willing to pay the price.

On an off topic, that video you just posted goes with Takkun10's avatar so well.
My mom is computer illiterate, and often makes me facepalm by misusing words, for example "I'm going to go flip the channels on the computer", meaning browse the Web.
But the other day, she took the cake. She came home with a new MP3 player, complaining that the last MP3 player used AA batteries too quickly.
She calmly explained that this was due to the last player being "mechanical, not digital".

I've only ever seen one or two players that actually have hard drives if thats what you mean.

I probably should clarify.

She said it was "digital, not mechanical" because "you had to push the buttons hard and push a lever"
I'm about to go download every keygen I can find just for the music
My entire computer class played Quake II over LAN which is "wrong" according to anyone in charge of computers (some shit about improper use of district computer equipment or something), but the teacher didn't care. Then of course some kid brings all his pirated games and all his viruses and suddenly nobody is allowed to bring flash drives from home and we all bring them anyway. The teacher [b]SAID HERSELF[/b] that it seemed to be computers one kid used and yet he never got in trouble for anything and we all had to face consequences for doing nothing wrong. Then we had to put up with the internet whitelist of sites we could go to, even though google didn't work and it was on the list. We convinced the teacher to turn it off, especially when she left the room and her computer unlocked and she didn't notice it was turned off.

dickwaving, but I don't care because I like keygen music
I just torrented a load of keygen music, shit's awesome
So our old computer got a bad virus, had to completely wipe the HD, so of course my Dad is paranoid of all viruses now. We don't share computers, he has a Vista laptop, which really isn't secure, he's had a few viruses on it but I told him to get Malwarebytes to clean it up. So occasionally a random virus will pop up on his computer, and he'll freak out and delete it.
We share a digital video camera, and I was using it to film a class assignment, and at the same time he was using it for his PI work. I still haven't uploaded my videos from it, and he plugs it into his computer to get his videos off. Of course, at the same time, a virus pops up on his computer. And of course he thought the rest out completely through.
"Well we had the video camera plugged into the old computer, I think the virus is on it." So he deletes everything on the camera, settings, videos, everything. Now its at a point where it doesn't work at all, like the screen turns on but nothing happens. The fact that he knows how to completely wipe the settings off of it is impressive, but his motives for doing so were idiotic.
So thanks to him I had to refilm a lot, pissing off most of my partners in the assignment.
My I have a 3 tera byte ram drive.
