Some idiot computer wizards
 
I've got really intelligent computer geeks as my friends. Here are some of their comments:

1. 'xp' in Windows xp stands for 'eXperienced Proffesional' software.

2. Bill gates was the inventor of the internet.

3. Dust on your floppy causes viruses.

4. Not shutting down windows properly will cause the computer wires to melt and sometimes might cause a blast. Shutting it down starts the fans which cool the system first.

5. "Don't worry pal, I can do that. Anyways, my dad once taught me how to install DirectX 9.0c"

And now, I call upon the real winners:

6. "My computer runs on a pentium 7. Russia has launched Pentium 9 and U.S.A has launched Pentium 11".

7. Windows was made using the HTML programming language.
:blah:

tru l4amers man. And i get stuck with them. Heck. :mad:

Number 1 is close... XP = eXperience.

anyone else resisting the temptation to add one of the new "pentium X" processors to their wishlist for x-mas?

As noted by SSJ4, this is close.

I'm sure there's a bug in some motherboard or another like this.

"Now son, listen closely. What you do is position the cursor over the icon and click that button not once, but twice."

:blah:

Parts of it was, but HTML is a markup langauge, not programming...

Well, skryingbreath, there are things we aren't good it. Similarly my friends aren't good at computers. I don't blame their illeteracy, but the flaunt value they are showing: showing that they know much more. However, we cannot slap them as no one knows everything in this world.

P.S: I liked ur new avatar...

I know everything I've come in contact with/experienced, I just can't remember most of it. and yes we can slap them. we aren't slapping them beause they are dumb. we are slapping them because they are saying they are dumber than they think/say they are, which makes them dumber^10 than someone with the same amount of knowledge but knows they are dumb

however, this may be a ruse. your friends are pretending to be dumber than they really are to catch you unsuspecting, then BAM they pwn your computer and you're shitonastick

Thanks, it's part of my newest skin :D

Is it really that people are computer illiterate or is it that operating systems suck.

Computers should be a lot easier to use.

Windows and Mac computers are definitely easy to use, designed for idiots. Unfortunately there are clever-idiots out there who create nasty viruses, spyware and adware to ruin the normal-idiots computing experience.
Linux is somewhat safer and is becoming more idiot-friendly these days but most people have the fear of command lines so don't get round to changing from their happy point-and-click existence (obviously not realising that modern *nix is mainly point-and-click) ;).

zootm 21st November 2005 21:59

I'd argue with you, Lu, but we already have a thread about that.

rohan_pwln 22nd November 2005 07:55

Man... well, something's are just to be thought about practically. If my friend new even a bit of HTML is, he could have easily made it out that windows ain't built using that. Which in case clearly proves that he was faking it all...

LuigiHann 22nd November 2005 16:54

"Some things." Not "Something's." Are you retarded? :p

adult male... well something is are just to be thought about practically. if my friend just out level a bit of HyperText Markup Language is, he could have easily made it outside that windows are not built using that. which in crate transparently proves that he was falsifiying all of it

Oops... sorry for that typo

"Windows and Mac computers are definitely easy to use, designed for idiots."

Always room for improvement. Why can't my computer parse my words yet and build tasks based on what I tell it? It's gotta be possible, english is just another language.

Why wont it make my coffee? and light my cigarrette and find my keys and <insert mundane task here> ?

Why not cut to the chase and have it jerk you off as well? That would certainly save time, and energy!

:p

Actually. I think I remember seeing something like that on HBO. I'm too afraid to google it though :D
