LOL, now can someone send me the link to a GPU please.

I've found some people who may or may not actually believe you can download RAM. Guess what kind of computers they use.

Un..believable, it's actually illegal to download RAM?, i just downloaded 4gigs from that site you gave me and my new GPU works friggin amazing, never before have i ran Trojan horses with such ease and stability

PS:
I'm gonna update all the computers in school now.

Glad to be of service!

I wonder whether there's a place where one can download more storage space...

idl12 · « **Reply #28 on:** 2010-03-15 00:07:50 »

Forget just storage space! download the whole damn thing! http://www.megaupload.com/?d=2tzjvase

(Please don't actually download..No idea where this comes from)

This is why I don't tell my family that I'm good with computers (well, I'm good by "normal person" standards ); I've heard so many horror stories about people who get designated as "tech support guy" for their social circle.

It's fun at first... but, gets old... Fast...

Send this link to him

Love it! I just sent that URL to multiple people. Lets see how many believe it.

I think I need to post this pic again:

No offence intended, of course

And do the people you fear will boast about their new RAM have any fun stories of the kind hellbringer616 was telling earlier in the thread?

Well another of the wierdos i hang out with claims to love his computer a lot, so the instant it started slowing down, he began deleting lots of stuff, of course he deleted some important stuff for school accidentally( i mean really important he came the next day crying that his mother wishes she aborted him) and even after all of that, it was still moving slow as hell, the real suprise came when i mentioned the word DE-FRAG-MENT and there was nothing but ackward silence after that.(meaning i had to give a detailed explanation on how to defragment and what an ass he was for deleting the crap out of a 250 gb SATA hard drive that was only using 80 gigs)....... see what i have to deal with everyday!!

..i mean his computer's hardware kicks ass compared to mine, 2gb ram, nvidia 8600 gt GPU and you wanna tell me about slow performance!! and guess who had to help him redo everything he lost, and by redo i mean do most of it for him.

Of course, now his computer works fine and annoyingly, he calls me every time there is a problem. oh, and did i mention his AMD x2 dual core processor....utter madness. Now i'm scared i'll have to explain yet again that RAM is not your Freakin hard drive and i doubt this one will understand either,(he didn't know what most of his hardware was called or even what it looked like until i opened it up and showed him, hell, i doubt he even knows now.)

Kudistos Megistos · « **Reply #33 on:** 2010-03-16 01:19:59 »

Is there any way in which you can take financial advantage of this situation?

I've heard rumours that some people believe that deleting files on the hard drive will magically make a computer faster, but I never thought that people actually believed it.

Maybe you could start charging him for making his computer faster (PROTIP: install avast! and MSE and do a full virus scan with both of them).

idl12 · « **Reply #34 on:** 2010-03-16 01:37:32 »

ah yes viruses, every time i borrow a flash drive from the guy avast keeps telling me what a huge risk i'm taking just by holding the thing, he and his family of course were thinking about pirate ships when i said i was installing avast and not surprisingly, he had 90+ trojans( not an exaggeration) after i scanned it which i beleive came from the porn sites he frequently visited and neglected to remove from history, i mean, how the hell can a parent not know their child is a pervert when the first thing you see when typing a website is Redtube.com. Oh and as for charging him, i can't, he's getting a new pc soon and guess who's getting his old parts, his"best friend" of course.

Does that mean you? Are you getting rid of that old computer he doesn't need any more? Because that would be very kind of you

If that is the deal, I suppose it's comparable to getting paid.

idl12 · « **Reply #36 on:** 2010-03-16 01:52:12 »

He's giving me the old pc because i'm such a "good friend" who never says anything bad about him "especially not on the internet" and who selflessly services his computer for free, which to me is better than money since i drool over his video card and processor.

I wonder how long it will be before your PC is faster than his? (seeing as he's bound to get lots of viruses again).

Not very long my friend.....not very long at all, on a positve note, all my helping with pc related stuff in school and what not has got me recommended for an adult I.T course even though i'm two years underage, so all the annoyances has it's benefits i suppose.

I just remembered one of my favorites. I was giving tech support over the phone and said, "Now, go to 'My Computer'"... He was really confused... (If you don't get it, use your imagination)

Compared to a lot of people, you actually have quite a good deal there. I say that should stay with him and milk him for all he's worth

I'm often tempted to consider doing tech support as a part time job, then I remember all the stories I've heard from people who had the same idea before me.

KM, I worked tech support before. I didn't do the phones, though. I had the fun job of actually physically repairing broken computers; swapping out parts...checking mobos for blown capacitors (apparently a very frequent problem with old dell midsize desktops), adding RAM, reformatting HDDs/installing software. It was a pretty sweet job for $14 an hour. Kinda wish I didn't move away from DC but I couldn't afford to keep studying at George Washington University.

I remember I would pretty much demolish my workload halfway through the day, so I'd have hours on end to myself. It's too bad I didn't start seriously working on FFVII until after I quit.

All my computer help around school just got me admin passwords... I was so very tempted

Ah, a different kind of tech support

Yeah, that sounds like it would make a pretty nice part-time job

I too was much happier doing that... Love hardware. Just stay away from networking...

It seems that there has been some more told

I'm very sad to have missed the excitement; a few hours before it happened, I used LeechBlock to stop myself going on 4chan. :'(

obesebear · « **Reply #47 on:** 2010-03-30 05:39:18 »

I got there right as they were "ruining lives" but after quiptext was closed down

Kudistos Megistos · « **Reply #48 on:** 2010-03-30 05:49:38 »

I often wonder how badly people's lives really are affected when they are "ruined" by 4chan. Most of the time, I'm sure the people who are targeted must be able to get on with things after a while, but when anonymous finds actual incriminating evidence and passes it on to the right people, there must be serious consequences that we don't have the pleasure of seeing. Given all the sexual content being discovered, I'm sure that a few people must have been caught cheating or something like that; there's a chance that some marriages may have fallen apart.

It would be great (in a morbid and voyeuristic way) if there were a way of checking up on the people whose lives were supposedly ruined to see what actually became of anonymous' attempts to destroy them.

It's so nasty. But so entertaining. The shocking-ness of encyclopedia drammatica too has me laughing guiltily and hoping no one really knows I find it entertaining.
