    You're not very useful.
    You're just another complaining uselessness
    Go somewhere else please.
     
    People are telling their worst IT fails ever, which usually happens like during their first build, or when they're doing something they're inexperienced with, and you just come by and crack them down.
     
    Not cool.

    Originally I hadn't intended for that to be at all cynical, though can understand where you are coming from. I apologize.

    I electrocuted myself once at a networking class. We were helping another class set up computers and link them together, and while I was trying to plug something in at an odd angle my hand slipped and I touched the prongs. With as much power as was running through that loop I should be dead. But no, just a small tingle. Of course I did still jump back a mile.

    A 21 year old wanting the American dream already? LOL sorry but it is very hard not to laugh at that. Im 33 years old, when I was just starting out like you, I went through the same thing, except instead of me getting paid $10 and 40 hours a week, I got paid $7 and was part time ( had to get 3 jobs just to live on my own and take care of my 4 year old son at the time), sad thing is every one of my friends were going through the same thing ( I was the only one with a kid). In other words, no one starts out with baller statues at first, you work and maybe around your mid to late 20's you will make a break through and make a descent amount of money. 
     
    Don't give up hope though, everyone in life, unless you have a silver spoon in your mouth from birth, goes through this, it is just part of life and imo a good learning point.

    Ok, firstly there should be a great respect for what your parents are doing for you. Not saying you aren't, but if you aren't, you really should. Even a community college tuition is insane put on top of the bills they already pay.
    Second, if you really need the extra money you can look for a part time job. Even just a few hours a day for a couple days a week would be more than enough to fit your needs.
     
    Edit - Skimmed too much. You say you don't have time for a job? I doubt it. Stop overloading your self on classes, find a better form of transportation, move closer to the school, whatever you want. You have options. If you really need the cash you can make it work by balancing with everything else.

    Looks almost the exact same as the real Dell website but with a different domain.
     
    Has a completely different support option.
     
    And by looking at the bottom you can tell the site copyrights are completely different than that of actual dell copyrights.
     
    <sarcasm> Seems legit. </sarcasm>

    Hey guys, I have a story to tell y'all... It happened yesterday at around 4:45 PM (Feb. 23rd, 2016).
     
    So yesterday, in Colorado Springs, my friend and I were driving back from a craigslist deal (he sold his GoPro) south-bound I-25 back to our dorm. However, as soon as we reached the turnoff to Woodmen Rd, my friend slammed on his brakes, and as soon as I looked up, I saw a bunch of cars stopped in our lane. We looked a little ahead, and saw a black Dodge Challenger idling down the small hill, probably going about 5-10mph. Did he stall his car or something? Car problems? We weren't sure... until we saw something moving frantically through the back window of his guy's car... and then we saw the car roll into the next lane over. Something wasn't right.
     
    So my friend drove in front of the car and pulled over to the side and we turned our heads around. The dude driving was having a seizure or stroke or something!!! My friend yells to me "Call 911!!! He's having a heart attack or something!!!" With us parked on the side of the road, the car is still moving back and forth between 3 or 4 lanes, bouncing off of the guard rails on both sides of the highway. We get out of our car and my friend sprints to this guy's car, trying to open the door of the car to steer off of the road and pull his hand brake, but the door's locked.
     
    Since the car was bouncing through lanes and guard rails, he was probably INCHES from getting smacked by one of the Semi-trucks going by.
     
    As soon as my friend got to our car, the guy was probably about 50 yards down the road, still moving. After finding out the door was locked, my friend sprints back to me, and tells me to get back in the car so we can continue following him. (I was still on 911, trying to tell the operator where we were and what's going on) We eventually lost sight of him. Eventually we got back on the highway (since there was a ton of traffic it was difficult to chase after this guy) and about a half a mile down the road we see him in the median, crashed into one of the guard rails in the ditch.
     
    We pull up, and jump out and try to get this guy out of his car. The guy is probably in his mid-20's. We knocked on one of the windows, and he responds. The guy was COMPLETELY delirious, and had no idea what happened. "I was just driving to school man. Where am I? What happened to my car? Who did this?" he says. We get him out of the car, and there's orange-yellow stuff coming out of his mouth and nose (drug overdose or something?).
     
    He tries to sit on the guard rail next to his car, but he collapses right in front of us.
     
    Mere seconds later, an ambulance and firetruck pulls up. Paramedics rush towards him, and get him into the ambulance in literally seconds. Everyone's yelling trying to save this poor guy, and then the ambulance pulls away, most likely to a nearby hospital. Then some cops came up to us, asking questions like what had exactly happened. We explained the situation as we saw it.
     
    Just minutes ago I found out what had happened. I received word that this was due to a heart condition he had with the combination of heroin. The woman on the phone who told me this was from the hospital he's staying at. She said if we had called 911 just minutes later and didn't help this guy, he would have died.
     
     
    I'm still amazed at what had happened. I thought I would share this since this is probably the craziest thing I've ever seen in my life. Hope you enjoyed the story

    I bought one of those mics a few weeks ago to clip on to my headphones when I game. Except it didn't exactly clip on in the way that I intended, and ended up doing this:
     
    ...It swivels
