the part with the computer is only like 5 seconds long, usually it would be from the perspective of the webcam (complete with bad quality and jerkiness)

that doesn't make much sense, you would have to see the movie to understand it (it's kinda decent but it seems like it's aimed at 16ish year old girls which I only really noticed half way through the film and by then I knew that there was more emma stone wearing hardly anything coming)
but basically she's making a livestream and she talks into the camera alot, and the scene is shot like it would be shot through a webcam with terrible quality
Still, that they used an actual OS instead of some weird shitty OS seemed to be done in flash is to be commended
Hey Mandrith, didn't your dad hate chrome because it gathered so much info about you and your applications?
20.000 south koreans are sueing Apple for about 600$ each because Apple gathered information from them such as location :v:

no they're probably just lazy
Also, just stumbled on this and found it quite funny:
Professor Brian Ford, just released his book 'Secret Weapons: Technology, Science And The Race To Win World War II' in which is described that the Britished Secret Service had plans to disguise bombs as fruits cans and smuggle them into Germany, drop glue onto German soldiers so they would be stuck and [b]put female hormones in his food to make him more femine, and less agressive[/b], spies already had acces to his food but poisoning wasn't an option because all his food was tasted by servants. Why the plan wasn't executed is unknown.
I love how Asus maintains a professional look, but their website is riddled with typos and terrible Engrish.
Like this gem that I found while looking for drivers for my new sound card:
3. Fix the error message "CmEnhance.exe stop working" may pop out during the drvier stallation.
I've really got to tell our asshole electric company to fix whatever fucking problem that keeps making our power go out for a full second and come back on
It's REALLY annoying
can't be brownout unless someone has a fuckin meth lab powering on every few minutes
Gotta get a little sleeve for my HP mini. Shame it artifacts whilst playing Halo and Freelancer.
Oh look one of my asshole friends says my Mini is a piece of shit, i said "good story bro, im not trying to run crysis on a laptop"

Wait, whats the issue? What if the computer is meant to be like 2-3 years old before 7 was common?
Well fuck
I need to reinstall Windows (it's showing those "old install" symptoms again), but I can't find my Vista discs and I only have two CD-Rs.
(I only use Vista as an intermediary to reinstall Win7 - I only have a CD-RW drive so burning the ISO to a blank disc is out of the question)

can't you torrent a win7 iso and make a bootable usb drive? or does that only work with linux distros

Yeah you can MS has their own tool for that which is meant for netbooks.

He hated it because it apparently "Leeched into applications to work", whatever that means. He doesn't anymore after I talked to him. He still uses Safari, though, because he is more used to it.
That is pretty awsome, though. Apple deserves to get the shit sued out of them.

yeah but you also get a 580
also i guess "leeching into applications" might mean the ridiculous amounts of memory it can use with a load of tabs open? my mom doesn't understand the concept of actually closing a tab, she just minimizes the window it's on, then asks me why chrome.exe (and its 42 counterparts) is using so much memory
so I finally got my hands on a school issued iPad, every single one of them came with a nice Otterbox and a shitload of school type apps (mostly Khan Academy stuff) and some other apps like Puffin and a keyboard. We actually went into a classroom for "training" to use an iPad. I looked at the school computers and every single one of them uses Win7 and Google Chrome as the default browser, made me think maybe there aren't that many retarded IT guys
I leave this story here in the hopes that you all learn something today. (If you already knew it then that counts)
So, I'm in Ultimate Boot CD, trying to move 100GB from one partition to another (at a blazing 60KB/sec, HHNNGG). It shrinks the OS partition just fine, but then says the data partition has a bunch of filesystem fuckups on it. "No problem", thinks I, "I'll just boot back into Windows right quick and do the usual filesystem checks."
Nope. Apparently Windows, despite what everyone says, [b]still[/b] doesn't take kindly to having it's partition shrunk by the days of Win7.
So I'm going to have to somehow miraculously remember to run chkdsk on my data partition after installing Vista, THEN installing Win7. sonofaBITCH.
On an unrelated but amusing note, apparently I had a typo in my Gentoo partition's fstab making it try to use my data partition as swap. It just skipped over it and ran perfectly without swap :v:

Wait, she understands how to see how much memory an application is using, but doesn't understand the concept of closing an application?

she can't close a tab but can figure out that a process is using a lot of memory
lolwut

you ninja fuck
My dad is perfectly okay with me spending hundreds of dollars buying parts for my own PC.
However, he nearly snapped my neck when I popped off the side of the case of our broken computer and tried to see how the damn thing works.
Oh well, no big deal, he's mentally retarded. He spent 300 dollars to have a power supply installed.
I just realized. iOS 5 let's you set up your phone without your PC, but iPhone 4s come with iOS 4.
At work we've been readying old computers to throw out. We had like 10 optiplex GX280's that we were going to throw out. So my co-worker took them. I think he's going to make a beo-wolf cluser :buddy:
Reminds me of some minor content from my Dad:
Normally, he's a very computer-savvy person. Hell, he ran DOS on a 486 and knows FORTRAN - both things I haven't done.
Anyways, our main computer was getting slow and outdated. It was about 2005 or so, and we were still on an Athlon XP.
Naturally, I proposed upgrading it instead of buying a brand-new machine. He, reasonably agreed.
Then he suggested that, instead of upgrading the current desktop, we should upgrade my sister's computer instead, make that the main, and give her the old main desktop unmodified.
His arguments were basically:
1) The PSU is better in that one, since it was an old workstation used for CAD
2) The case is bigger (full ATX instead of microATX), with more expansion slots.
He figured we could just slap a new processor and RAM into it, swap in the graphics card and hard drive from the desktop, and we'd be ready to rock and roll.
So far, everything seems reasonable, right?
Problem:
Said workstation is a genuine antique. "Pentium II" antique. "Three floppy drives" antique. "Made for Windows 3.1 sticker" antique.
Sure, it's got like 7 expansion slots, but said slots include no less than three ISA slots, and not a single AGP slot (PCIe was still very rare at that time, with only a handful of cards).
So, at minimum, we would need to replace the motherboard, the CPU, and the RAM, and probably the graphics card too. Still, not a huge deal - we'd probably be doing that on the other one.
Except, get this - the case and motherboard were completely non-standard. They work great together - I've mentioned the removable daughterboard section for all the expansion cards, which I really like - but you can forget about replacing it with anything else.
I think that's about the only time my dad's been even marginally computer illiterate - he just assumed that CPU slots were standard, and any processor would work in any slot. (That was a slot-based processor, not socket, FYI). Which I guess makes sense - he never really needed to do work on the internals of computers, besides a few RAM upgrades.
PS: I still have said antique workstation - it's my triple-redundant porn server (aka I have a stash of printouts hidden behind the motherboard).
Oh wow, I just looked in the case and the guy that installed our PSU installed it upside down.
Hey guys, good news - phase 2 of the great reinstall (installing Vista) went without a hitch!
Now for some funny:
- IE7 renders Facepunch badly
- I started raging because Aero wasn't working then I remembered "oh right drivers".

hahaha it says I'm running IE6
