Not illeteracy, but read the "All-new High-performance graphics cards"-line... New after some 8 months...

That whole text about the new Mac Pro is pure bs...[/QUOTE]

The sad thing is that, now, Mac users can play games on their native OS. So that hardware is actually useful (but still overpriced).

Alright, I'm camped out in the open at Siggraph like I said. I've been listening to itunes, browsing the interwebs and working on a little side project in photoshop using my massive tablet.

Mac guy sits next to me, minds his own business, browses facebook on his macbook pro.

After a while, itunes wigged out on me and started a loud skipping sound on the song playing, couldn't kill it. So, I went to task manager and ended the process.

Mac guy leans over and says "You know, Apple stuff doesn't crash at all."

:doh:

[QUOTE=Mattk50;23581230]you know what pisses me off about ISPs? for the past 2 weeks my internet has been on the fritz (for some reason, maybe half of the websites i frequent dont load. facepunch works, yay). i guessed it was an issue with the ISP's DNS servers or something, im not too well versed in the inner cogs of the internet, so after much MUCH fiddling with firewalls, browsers, and my modem itself i gave their support a call.

Horray! after bearing the automated call center and elevator music for nearly an hour, it was fixed! for about 10 minutes. then it got screwed up again and i didn't have time to call them again because i had to leave the state for my uncle's funeral ( :*[ ) the next day. now im back and going to give them a call in the morning if they take calls on weekends.

ISPs. why do you torture me. how does an isp go about screwing up like this anyway? anyone here work in that field and know some about it?[/QUOTE]

I know the feeling.
My ISP has problems with its DNS servers all the time, and the internet goes down for 2 min - 6 hours every day. -.-

You can't explain things to mac people. They deny it all, and flame you.

Not for all mac users, I was able to convert one of my friends from a mac to a pc. It was hard at first, but he learned.

[QUOTE=PrusseLusken;23698516]My [B]friend[/B] is [B]building/buying/designing[/B] a new PC. He doesn't know what he wants; I asked him the big ATi/nVidia and AMD/Intel questions, and he simply said "i dunno". He's mailed HP, Komplett.no, MPX.no, Alienware, Dell, Acer, Newegg and some guy on eBay asking them what PC they recommend. Of course, HP told him a HP PC, Acer an Acer and vice versa. The computer sites recommended buying parts/and or PCs from their sites.

He finally decided to buy parts and make his dad assemble it. He wants a 550W PSU, one 4550, a case with [B]one[/B] 120mm fan at the back, his old RAM (3GB(1x1GB,1x2GB(Which of 1GB still works))). He's gonna reuse his 13" monitor (:geno:) and he's not "gonna bother with speakers".

After I bought my new PC, he told me it sucked and he could have gotten a much better one for the money I paid. I got a Phenom 2 X4 965 Black Edition CPU, a Corsair HX 850W PSU, 4 GBs of RAM, a 500GB Western Digital Caviar HDD, two Asus Radeon HD 5770 GPUs (in CrossfireX), a 24" LED monitor from BenQ and the CM Storm Sniper Black Edition for the amount of money he is spending on some old HP case, some old mobo not supporting the type of RAM he has, a bunch of random expansion cards (like multiple sound cards and firewire outlets), a Razer Deathadder (:doh:) and a single used 4550.

I told him that I could put together a better build for him, but he called me an idiot and said his PC was gonna "own mine in MW2."

He doesn't even know how open a .zip file.

Kill him.

At least he'll learn his lesson after nothing fits together and tons of money has been wasted.

[Boris-B]

Exactly, let him be an idiot and fuck shit up. When he starts whining you can tell him "I told you so."

[dai]

as for what I did earlier, I said "It's [i]iTunes[/i], and it crashed itself. Computer's running fine" and he looked at me like I was lying.

I opened windows media player, started up the song I wanted to finish, then went back to photoshop. I don't know how it felt for the guy, but to me the awkward silence was so great that I felt like I was holding back a giggle... You know, like when you were a kid playing hide and seek and you have an awesome hiding spot but can't stop laughing about it.

also challenge your friend to a computer-off in MW2, where you allow the computers to play by themselves since his can apparently own yours.

The kids at my school. Oh God. Wonderful people.
"Why can't I print?"
- You selected the wrong printer, dumbass.
"I can hack this. Watch!"
- 20 minutes later, he is still typing in random passwords.
"The reason that is showing in the Google search bar is because it's been searched most."
- No, if you notice, you can type the first few characters of the city you live in and it'll show up.
My friend turns off his iPod every time he is done using it. He holds down the power button, so it turns off completely.
"Come here (looks at me), I have a problem."
- What the hell, it seems since I can type fast I know everything about computers. There is a huge "stereo type", so that the people who do type fast are claimed as computer gods. It's crazy.
Next, every kid at the school has installed Halo on the school computers, so now all the tech workers at my school are like "oh ehm gee, u gun screw da netwark oop!11"

computer illiteracy, maybe not, pretty funny though.

when i was in elementary school, the principle asked me and my friend to come into the office. we hadn't done anything wrong, but she started interrogating us about this new game called "runescape" that everyone in the grade has started playing (sometimes on the lone classroom computer during recess, i suppose thats how they learned about it). my friend was like "well you fight dragons and do quests" and the school psychologist who was hiding in a corner told him dragons weren't real and that he should stop lying. I kidd you not.

[QUOTE=Boris-B;23687998]A couple of years back, I had a buddy from high school come over. I think we had some project to do. The project was piss easy so we took our time and goofed off a lot. At one point I have to leave my room to go to the bathroom or something. When I come back I see him in the process of install this game called Dofus on my PC. I canceled the thing and got really fucking mad at him. He didn't touch my computer ever again. Seriously, some people have no respect for other's property.

Dofus? :v:

I love how whenever a "complete virus scan" ad pops up my father freezes whatever he is doing and walks away from the computer until I get home. Every single time I walk in, close the window, and tell him to just do the same next time.
