I'm actually American, my ancestors came over from Ukraine and Russia around the early 20th century. The cool thing is that my great great great Grandfather came over from Ukraine in 1893 through Ellis Island. With only $20 in American currency. He rose through the ranks and died in 1931 with his own chain of stores in Rhode Island.

:3:

So am I, I don't really know much, all I know is that the his wife came from the same village and that the village was part of Austria, Ukraine, Poland, and Russia at different points in time.

It says "All entries must be in lower case!" yet I can only type caps.

Also why doesn't return work? That's just cruel, spent a good minute trying.

You mean enter? I'll fix that

Okay it's fixed. Try it again please

I would kill some one if he ripped out a page from my Atlas (its 60 years old).

Great, Now in graphics, We have 2 grades in 1 Elective class, I'm fine with it, Me being in the higher grade.
I'm fine with it, It's just all the Skiddie Youngins. One kid slapped the monitor because if was going slow, He proclaimed "they should have taken my advice and not changed all the processors for celerons".
Durp Durp.
So I go over there and without saying anything reach over his shoulder and hit *windows* + R and type DXDiag and hit enter twice and pointed towards the "Core2 Duo" on the monitor and walked away.

Wow, this is fucked up. Every time my program segfaults, OS X froths at the mouth. Arch & Windows simply kill the process, OS X has graphical convulsions until I hard-reboot.

I checked again: it only got as far as "detected flash..." last time and refused to go past that - I didn't even know there was anything else.

It worked fine for me.

Had another IT lesson today.

When the teacher asked how many people had used Photoshop before, everyone put up their hands. Half of them had trouble opening it, and nearly all of them used Word to design a cover for our folders.

People also raged about how pro they were because they could invert the monitor colours, and did the general stupid shit you'd expect.

[Shadaez]

I'm still very angry about the thread not being labeled, "and General Chat".

My laptop is apparently broken and needs to be taken to the shop to have windows installed on it because I put linux on it.

Got a good laugh out of reading it.

sucks that a lot of people take it seriously though

It's funny because it's all bullshit

Also, content: in my IT class there was a kid, he doesn't really like me, cus he's one of them "cool" kids.
His computer won't work, he asks if "anyone could help him out".
nobody offers to help, not even the teacher. I say "I could help, what's the problem?"
"Not you, you don't know anything about computers"


Apparently, I do not know anything about computers.
I was not aware of that.

Self-content: Steam wasn't doing offline mode correctly, so I deleted ClientRegistry.blob. Only after I emptied the recycle bin did I realize that I'd just fucked myself.

(My network connection blocks Steam and the only way I can log in is through my SSH tunnel, takes forever to update anything)

HD 4870s are the most evil graphics cards ever.

Everything on them is made to piss you off. Except overclocking, mine goes up to 850/1200 core/memory :buddy: You can only reach this if you have a few hundred fans shooting liquid helium at it though.

Today at college was sat with a friend at dinner and I was playing about with my phone and this is how the conversation went.

Him: HTC phones are shit they are a small company and Iphones are where it's at.
Me: Ok then what can an Iphone do that my phone can't.
Him: In class yesterday some kid took a picture of a logo on his drink and it found the name of the can on google. That's why they are good because they have awesome apps thats your phone can't ever dream of doing.
Me: Oh really just hold out your can *thumbles around on phone looking for google goggles app*
*scans logo and waits for it to work it out*
It then shows the name of the can on screen
Him: Well that's lucky, iphones are obviously better because they cost more.
Me: Shut the hell up *walks off*

Edited:

I have a HTC legend by the way.

Best way to end it:

You: So ps3 or Xbox?
Him:Xbox (he probs says that)
You: well the Ps3 is better because its dearer?
Him: No
You: So the Iphone isn't better

Then you put on your cool shades and walk off
