    Oh yeah, I once heard someone i know (owns a PS4 and Xbone) say that 4K is impossible and doesn't exist.

    My mom's laptop has shortcutss on the desktop to open facebook, google, email etc and one day my sister accidentally deleted a few including sims 2 (my mom's cocaine). She freaked out and dragged me from my room and told me facebook was broken and she couldn't find it. 

    >Finds sims 2 isn't on her screen
    >She nearly breaks down crying saying it's gone forever
    >Yells at me for 5 minutes

    I showed her how to open facebook, and re-created a shortcut for sims 2 on the desktop. She stopped being upset, and just sat down in front of her laptop once more. Upstairs I can hear my sister laughing hysterically.

    I plugged a 4 pin floppy connector into a CD aux connector on a sound card when I was quite young. The blue smoke that made the sound card work escaped.

    Video editors/VM people on a tight budget, get an octo-core AMD. It's a genius decision IMHO. 
    Gamers, don't get an octo-core AMD. 
     
    Gamers on a budget, get a G3258 or i3 4150. Destroys the Fx 8350 in single core performance and in games.
