I got only one example, but it's pretty good. I'm at school and I am talking with some buddies, we're all around my laptop, we're kinda bored and infront of the Warcraft 3 editor (This was a while ago, and I loved mapping), so we're talking and I am making some basic scripts, we're all having casual sort of fun, when the dumb kid shows up, and, he's like... "The only thing I'm good at is soccer"-dumb... So he walks up to me and says:

"Your computer is gay."

And I was like

"No, not really."

And he goes

"No, it sucks."

So I tell him my specs, I don't recall the exactly, but it was a great laptop a few years ago, had a nice, high amount of RAM, good harddrive and even a blu-ray. It was generally great, and I used it as my full purpose computer, meaning I even used it as a "stationary", but anyways, I mention the specs, and he says

"No, it stills sucks."

So I say

"It really serves it's purpose, and is very utilized, so what could possibly make it so bad?"

He was quiet for fifteen seconds, then replied:

"Because it's ugly."

Then my eye twiched before I roared out and my head exploded...

The best part of any of this, is when someone is yelling at you, telling you that you are wrong. Then you calmly walk over to the computer, press a couple key combos and it magically works again.

Umm, the GTX 295, for example, has two GPUs. That's what I meant by "multicore graphics card".

This is not really illiteracy but it's still incredibly funny.

See At my school there is a bit of a divide between PC games and Console gamers.

Sometimes my friends (who are console gamers) try to troll me by saying how much better Xbox's are than PC's. Now what i usually do in this situation 9is turn to my other friend who is the biggest PC gamer i ever saw. This person has an Xbox Purely for the games you cannot get on PC.

(it's funny because you see the console lot trying to convert him saying stuff like "[I]buy Xbox live and get Halo"[/I] Only to have him turn around and say stuff like[I]"halo is a crappy generic shooter for kiddies"[/I] The looks on their faces is priceless.)

Every time the console lot try to troll me or any other PC user we just turn to this guy and say "Oi mate! Them lot over there say Xbox is Better than PC!" The result is usually an hour long argument consisting of how useful and modular PC's are. It's like watching two dogs have a tug of war over a bone or something.

Multicore rendering has to do the the CPU. Many GPUs now have many parallel processing units anyway.

tl;dr either way you're wrong.

Not illiterate but kinda strange.

My brother is pretty good at computers, he is starting to learn C#, and stuff. He knows well that Firefox and Chrome are better than IE. But he still uses IE. I asked him why. His reply:

I know, but he can't do that, since it got there when he installed Windows. "Modding" what was there from a new installation triggers his OCD even more

My friend has a 24" iMac, a gaming PC, PS3 and 360 Elite. He hates the PS3 but only has it for the few people who use it. His iMac is for web browsing and the 360 is for when he wants to play COD with our buddies. He isn't like a OMG 10TH PRETICIGE!!±LOL.!NKMDV,B but more casual. Decent guy.

Then tell him to move iexplore.exe to a flash drive or something.

Jesus I don't like OCD. It always makes things so damn complicated!

Well then he has modified the stuff that was installed when he reformatted last time, so nope

[b]bought this card tryd it in starcraft, plays the same as my 20 dollar 4x agp card on my sons computer what is up??[/b]

So yeah, I decided to buy 3 of these to do 3 way SLI on my X58 mobo...worst mistake of my LIFE! These don't even support SLI! That's right, $3000 for a card that doesn't do 1% of what a GTX 285 will do! I've got a Biostar mobo with onboard graphics better than this junk! I don't know what the hell PNY was thinking, or the other fools that rate this so high are thinking. This card SUCKS! Not a professional card or gaming card, just plain old CRAP! DON'T BE A FOOL! GTX 285!!!!!

Have this card in one of our office set ups and my new VisionTek 5870 would destroy this card for the value. Same performance and direct x11.. A fool would buy

Hahahahaha[/QUOTE]

What? He bought 3 such expensive cards without even researching whether they support SLI? That's certainly stupid.

A bunch of my friends were paying my other friend to jailbreak their iPods.

[Mike!]

I've made money off jailbreaking. Many kids don't know how to set up stuff and are scared of breaking it. 5$ a jailbreak for likw 20 kids :D

[Tinter]

I didn't really wanna bother making a new thread, and everybody is asking general questions here.

I've read somewhere that you can buy an Iphone, jailbreak it, and use the bluetooth as an internet signal.
