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

My school just threw out a load of working computers because they had a virus.

Get a truck and empty out the dumpster.

I really. Really. Really. Detest anyone who doesn't just speak properly on DooM coop. someone actually stated because i was in england i didn't have as much access to the internet as him. Instead of warning me there was 2 spiderdemons up ahead.

[QUOTE=B-hazard;23411320]My school just threw out a load of working computers because they had a virus.[/QUOTE] my school used to swap the hard drives whenever the systems got a virus. They had a bunch of drives already cloned for that exact purpose. they would wipe the drive, clone the backup image over it, and put it in the box they kept spare drives in

[QUOTE=MrOwn1;23411113]That is my cousin. He is the most annoying shit ever. He buys points cards and gives them to random people online that say they can do 10th prestige lobbies. He screams, kicks, yells, and lashes out at people when he can't play MW2. He sometimes even squeals and shit while playing. He populated my friends list with people that have gamertags filled with xXx and ThIs BuLlShIt. He never does anything else other than play Call Of Duty. The worst part is that his parents are losers, so [b]HE HAS TO LIVE WITH MY FAMILY FOR AN INDEFINITE AMOUNT OF TIME.[/b] TL;DR My 10 year old cousin is a MW2 kiddie and has to live with me.[/QUOTE] Tell him to fuck off... If he bitches and whines to your parents tell them he's obviously addicted... And to just look and see for themselves... Can't you password protect you account or something. So he can't get on... (FYI, I don't know shit about Xboxes... Never had one and never fucked with one.)

I really want to talk with my school's IT people, so I can learn stuff about networking and bring our schools technology from the 6th century. IE6, Windows XP, and a HORRIBLE network. Takes over 5 minutes to log on... And they ban laptops, so we're forced to use they're shit.

Any other free and good anti viruses? I'm thinking about replacing norton now.

[QUOTE=daijitsu;23400106]the latest update of iTunes[highlight]*[/highlight] is a bitch like that. I caught it attempting to sneak safari into the installs FIVE FUCKING TIMES, as well as ask to make it the default browser and change my homepage to the apple store or something related to their website. Maybe it was the itunes front page or something. [highlight]*[/highlight]I had to get it to update my damn iphone 3g to OS 4.0 with the promise of many, many features, only to find that the 3g model really only gains the benefit of a "shiny new calculator icon", and a metric shit-ton of UI lag, missed calls and unreceived texts.[/QUOTE] Holy shit thanks for pointing that out. I didn't even notice those. :S I noticed the ones for making some Apple thing my homepage but that was it. Now off to uninstall Safari.

Just waiting for some little kiddies to get kidnapped again. My sister said she bought a Windows Vista disk at Wal-Mart when it turns out she pirated it with my cousin and it was for a Dell, now, not only does the key not work, we can not get a wireless driver.

[QUOTE=Yeojsav;23414668]not only does the key not work, we can not get a wireless driver.[/QUOTE] it will work [editline]02:03AM[/editline] [QUOTE=Yeojsav;23414698]Don't they interfere with each other?[/QUOTE] they're totally different types of antiviruses, they don't interfere with each other at all

[QUOTE=ButtsexV2;23414714]it will work [/QUOTE] Well it hasn't, we've typed in the code from my legit copy I was planing to install on my new computer, even THAT didn't work.

something is probably wrong with the disk then.

[QUOTE=ButtsexV2;23414871]something is probably wrong with the disk then.[/QUOTE] The fact that it was uploaded by someone who ripped it from a Dell OEM disk is probably the fact. I need to make an admin account on her computer, make the admin myself, and block fucking Pirating sites.

I get that "IT'S FREE!!1!" but why take even the slightest risk of infection or it not working when you can just buy it and know it'll work period? It took me a month to save up for W7 and when I tell people they're just like "lo why don u jus tpirate it?" I guess I like the satisfaction of deserving it.

[QUOTE=Yeojsav;23415691]SNIP[/QUOTE] Might want to snip. Warez is bannable.

[QUOTE=Yeojsav;23415691]I'll pirate games just to try them out, like two levels, then I delete it and go buy it if I liked it, if not I just delete it.[/QUOTE] Yeah even if you do pirate it it's still illegal, if available just grab a demo or rent it if you can, Otherwise the companies might "lose profit" :downs:

I've been thinking about getting a van and legitimately giving free candy out of the back of it.

I have never once gotten a virus from anything like that. that said, I don't pirate software of any kind, games included, or music, for that matter. but the idea of it isn't necessarily about getting free stuff.

I don't illegally download things because I grew up No one should ever pirate an operating system though because botnet
