I challenge him to fix everything in life by banging it ;)

um...I don't think you can fix people by banging them....

Edit: I think bad things will happen to you inside and/or out if you try it...

To add images, either click "More reply options" and add the image to the post through there or upload it to a site like imgur and copy the BBCode for the image into the post (it should be [img ]url)

I spent the next hour explaining to him that "My Computer" wasn't really his computer in a global aspect, but more a less a central hub for that specific computer.  I further went on to explain that "My Computer" was never really the best name for the physical computer, but more or less JUST "Computer". 

I guess that's why they've renamed it to This PC in Windows 8.1  :P

Humpty Dumpty was pushed.

My mom in a nutshell

I tell my mom that she's doing something wrong
"I KNOW WHAT I'M DOING!!!"

She fucks up

"Tafel please fix this"
*fixes it*
"You're the best techie!"

I took some pics at my local office depot and they are kinda fucked up, they sell DDR1/2 memory (can't remember prices but they are rip-offs) and they only GPU they sell is a Radeon 6850 for 80 bucks I believe, if you guys want I can take those pics, but it won't be for a while...

I know it's not non-techie...but it's close enough and I don't know where else to post it...

A person who'd buy the computer would have the most demanding program being Solitaire or IE/Chrome/Firefox FB games.

Do you think it could handle those in-browser humble bumble games?

I'd probably kill it in 20 minutes by playing OpenBVE.

I was looking on craigslist for laptops. Found this.

 

 

 

Hello, I currently have a Toshiba Satellite Ultrabook for sale. One of the hinges was broken although it has been fixed fairly well. Other than what the hinge looks like, this ultrabook is in great condition. It runs perfect and you'll notice it's quite a bit faster than most laptops. This laptop is sporting a 32 GB SSD (Fastest hard drives in speed wise on the market) along with a 500 GB hard drive for storing files, pictures, or whatever. The processor is sporting a dual-core Intel i5. If you're a light to medium gamer, this laptop can do it. Although the graphics are dynamically allocated shared graphic memory, it can get up to 1696MB of graphics power. << wat? It has 3 USB 3.0 ports, a "charge and sleep" port as well. It has the standard 802.11b/g/n Wireless Networking along with integrated Bluetooth. The keyboard is spectacular on it's own. It has a full LED lit premium raised tile keyboard. It does have a webcam and all the other goodies as what you're expecting with such a great laptop.

The year is 20XX. Everyone plays Fox at TAS levels of perfection. Because of this, the winner of a match depends solely on port priority. The RPS metagame has evolved to ridiculous levels due to it being the only remaining factor to decide matches.

Only Abate, Axe, and Wobbles can save us.

Probably runs vista

 

Looked kinda new looking at the pictures. He shows a clip with 2 screws into the laptop and that kinda scares me
