Experiences with non-techies

well lots of people carry phones in their back pocked (i do). But most only do it because a big phone (6+") feels uncomfortable in a front pocket.

 

I've always carried everything in my front pockets. It's safer and feels better to me 'cause you don't sit on whatever's in your pockets :P

Umm... About that CPU part.. You are supposed to put a small dot (about the size of a piece of rice) in the middle and spread it with the heatspreader as you put the cooler on..

@Lord Pantaloons had a run in of this problem when he opened up his EVGA cooler..

I think they used more than $5 worth of TIM on that.. Also, Imagine how hard that would be to take off if you waited 2-3 more years.. Time to grab the truck and tie a rope to the cooler.

Oh damn it, the truck isn't enough... OK men, PULL!! PULL MOTHERFUCKERS!! WHY IS THIS SHIT SO TOUGH?! HHHHHHHHNNNNNNNNNNNN!!!!!!!!! GOT IT!! AH! WHY IS IT SO CRUSTY?!?!?!

My mom bings hotmail, then, opens up an email to get to facebook. I put facebook in her bookmark bar once, and she removed it because "people can get on my facebook." All the bookmark did was bring her to facebook.com

I work par time at a computer store, the tech illiterate are Satan's spawn.

They don't know how to use Google to troubleshoot their computer problem

but they can use Google to search for a cheaper deal on a computer part

to squeeze any margin in a product out of it.

I don't thinks that this has been mentioned, but having people coming to you because their sound isn't working on the school PCs. *cue me swapping the headphone cable from the mic port to the headphone port*

Something about matching the green end of the lead to the green port really doesn't twig for some people...and failing that there's always a little engraving of a pair of headphones and a microphone next to said ports on the front of the case.
