My mother has a gigantic TV (Refresh rate of 240Hz, resolution of 1920x1080. I'm not sure exactly how big it is, but it is massive.), but she never uses it, because she's almost never home. I decide one day to hook my computer to it via an HDMI cable which my Radeon 5770 supports (Because my monitor is only a 19" 1440x900 resolution 60Hz refresh rate Acer monitor). It was a glorious experience, and things even ran smoother because they went WAY past 60 FPS. I actually had trouble connecting the computer to the internet, but I thought that I would eventually figure that out.
 
Edit: Derp. I guess the "Smoothness" was just a placebo. Damn my gullible mind!
 
The problem is that when my mom came home, she saw the setup and told me that I wasn't allowed to connect to the internet because she was afraid that her TV would get a virus. She tried to justify her claim by saying that the TV has its own computer, "with its own motherboard and everything" (even though she doesn't even know what a PCIe slot is.) I told her that it doesn't work that way at all, and that the TV would not be harmed in any way because of the fact that viruses would not be able to function in her TV because of COMPLETELY different types of hardware, the difference in operating systems (Windows 7 vs whatever is in that TV), the inability of a virus to travel into through a PCIe slot, into my graphics card, THROUGH A BLOODY HDMI CABLE, and INTO A TV OF ALL THINGS, and the fact that the chances of my computer getting a virus is more unlikely than waltzing about happily in the sunlight and getting struck by lightning into a rift to hell and getting stabbed directly into the nipples by Satan's pitchfork, considering that I actually take care of my computer and am cautious of what websites I visit, have proper antivirus software, etc.
 
Jeez, what's next? Is her LAMP going to get a virus? How about her REMOTE? OH GOD, YOUR LIGHTBULB MIGHT GET A VIRUS! EVERYBODY, STOP CONNECTING TO THE INTERNET!
 
After I explain this to her, she still denies me, because "She doesn't want to take that chance." I consult my father (who lives somewhere else, and has been working with computers since before theses days: http://www.legitreviews.com/images/reviews/554/athlonxp_agoia.jpg In fact, there's a few similar processors laying around from when my dad moved out and left some here.)  a few days later and tell him about this, and he agrees with me that the prospect of a virus spreading from my computer to a TV and actually doing anything to it would be absolute hogwash. I come back to her telling her that my father says that I'm correct. She still does not accept. I come to her with more and more evidence and she does not care. What really gets on my nerves is that she won't even bother to research this at all, or find ANY evidence that can disprove mine, yet she still restricts me. I have my computer back in my room hooked up to the Acer Monitor, and I'm half-tempted to just go back out there and connect to the internet, because it's not like she's technologically literate enough to realize when a computer is connected to the internet. It also saddens me, to see such a beautiful piece of technology as her TV just go to waste. Nobody uses it except on rare occasions. She's also talking about taking it with her to someone else's house to use, even though that someone probably has an even better TV considering how she talks about how rich that someone is. This whole situation is a load of poppycock, I say! Poppycock!

EDIT: shit

If I were him, I would just hand out a paper that has "I worked at Microsoft for 10 years" written on it with giant letters instead of a resumé.

Because it's in a 900D. It's big and imposing and seemingly indestructible. Also I just though it was a cool name.

Doesn't everyone fold with porn on one screen and a movie on the other?

Outside? hmmmm . . . I'm not familiar with that server yet 

Oc until it catches fire

Well a Lamborghini is kinda tempting...
but have to admit, i like Horses so i would go for Ferrari in that case i think lol. 
 
That Bugatti vayron may have a a ton on Horsepowers, i cannot realy say that i like that car.
Its one of the most ugly cars, i have ever saw in real life. lol.
 
p.s. i love cars.

Horses are sexy.

Insert dat CPU into the socket...feel that pin dropping into the PGA socket...

Cockjuggling thundercunt.

I like mountain goats because they're badass.

Need I say more?

What can i say Linus Is Awesome

Should I even go there?

Mine was really hard to come up with, but I think I did a good job!

Ah...mine came from L4D, if anyone remembers...The Midnight Riders 

Happiness is like that new electronics smell. To give an example: When one opens up a new esd bad with a new gpu or motherboard inside, and then you smell the PCB and electronics...

that profile pic is amazing

people who dont understand horses and think they are dangerous, which if you knew anything about them you could easily avoid dangerous situations
