I used to do that at work to test customers computer knowledge (or if they were dicks) just make up a ton of shit and see if they notice

Just one day I hope this happens too me so I could rek  that bastard.

My family never puts DVDs in thier computer, when it spins and makes noise they freak out and think the computer is dying.

My GPU fan is always on, 100% and I'm not shure what my mobo is doing with my fans, so my computer is always loud.

Edit:

I haven't OC'd my G3258(H81, want Z97), Need a new Mobo and a cooler(H212EVO).

Sounds like you need a BIOS update my friend.

No, just a GT610. I'm told that it's better to use integrated, waiting till I can get a 960.

Edit:

Or do you mean for the overclocking?

I can deal, it's just my GPU. My case fans don't bother me, they run around 1000RPM. I have updated, but wherever I try to OC, my GPU doesn't show anything.

Compared to your parents mine are relatively techie @FuzzyYellow and @[member=STRMfrmXMN]. They are willing to trust me on what's better and my calculations of power and don't do the "this computer is slow" "do you want me to speed it up" "no, it's fine" thing.

A few weeks ago I went on a movie date with this girl. Before the movie started, she was excitingly telling me about how all the futuristic tech we see in movies is actually real and is hidden by the government and that's why sometimes we have technology like we see in obviously fiction movies. I looked at her in an actual panic and asked her if she was being serious. She indeed was.

We finished the movie. I dropped her off, ignored her kiss and invite to "come inside for coffee", and drove off. Needless to say there will not be a second date. Mfw I took a conspiracy theorist out on a date.

Maybe. maybe not.  Only if I can video them crying because they cant eject the disk.  That would be funny, but also could be considered cruelty by some, so its better not to do that.

BIOS updates normally fix issues like that.  Could not offer better advice :)

I like History, I hate computer science though.  Learning about office, which is decent I guess.  Comes in handy when I'm a sysadmin or something and I need to make a report.  Not some shoddy thing, a proper security report.

 

But, I learn more when I'm on my own.  I'm learning ruby atm, my first programming language, trying to learn it.  

 

Funny how it all started though, I know a network admin and engineer at a big bank in the US.  He has tons of servers, he told me to hack one.  The problem, theres only one hole.  And its pretty well protected.  I had to port scan without any ping to even get any info whatsoever.  So, he told me to write a script, he would help me once I actually learnt a programming language.

I wouldn't say I get many. Only 8 so far this year. I just don't tend to stay in a relationship with one. It's not worth the heartbreak. On the other hand, I could prove it with pics but that would be regarded as creepy. I don't need to prove anything. :P

Yeah... That could be regarded as creepy... You need to realise the difference between friends and girlfriends.

Dude. 

 

I know people, who are older than me.  They were like me, and I assume you.  Awesome tech guys who never got a girlfriend.  

 

Every one of them has a wife, who is really beautiful and they told me it was worth the wait.  

 

BTW. I'm not going out with a girl unless she actually knows at least one scripting language and how to build a computer. 

Beileve me, thats hard to find.  Saying that, I'm in the school most known in my country for drugs, gangs and young prostitutions.  

So, yeah.  Still, lots of awesome nerds.

Yo, in the future (since I didn't get a notification) you can just remember "Storm from X-Men" with no vowels :P Copy-pasting the username just creates a hyperlink.

I never said any of them were my girlfriends? Those are just the girls I've "been with." Either as in went on a date with to consider being in a relationship with or had intercoarse with. I've been in a relationship with 1 girl this year and back in November, me and my ex broke up after dating for nearly 2 years. So yeah. :/

Its really not difficult. Apply yourself. Talk to a chick, ask her out blah blah blah simple. If someone fucks me over I don't give second chances though. So typically I move through them pretty fast.

Anyways, my original story. I even tried to explain what cgi was and she didn't believe me. I was horrified by her ignorance.
