Yes, definitely. However, now that I think about it, the semi-linoleic superconducting antimatter might be affected if you don't double-line the rumble tube before downloading everything (I've heard stories of that happening before). But then, it all depends on what type of nano-crystals you use for your rumble tube lining... hmm...That would probably get rid of the overheating problem that most enigmatic thermo consensualisors have, as well as increasing its dermo nucleaic meglomania output.No no no!! If you want to get perfect coefficiency on a low budget, you have to go for the rhodium-executable suplex monopolisor, otherwise you're just gonna waste money on superfluous piledrivers. However, if you have a little extra cash, I'd also go for the Uranium-plated spatula with port and starboard attatchments - just makes it a tad easier to cram it in between the extra-large quantum energiser and flux capacitor that you'd find in most current computers.

Oh come on, increasing antimatter would do nothing if you can't hike up your shoryuken output. The e-haunches make all the difference, so to help that you have to squeeze every last Whaldig from your rumble tube lining. I don't feel the need to explain what kind of nano-crystals you need to use, unless you're a moron.That would probably get rid of the overheating problem that most enigmatic thermo consensualisors have, as well as increasing its dermo nucleaic meglomania output.MisterM2402 said:No no no!!

Not since the great flouride revolution of '87 have magnets been as good as the chlorophyll projector synopsis unit, jahakeymagnets don't nearly have the same polycentric tension and they have absolutely no broad side fermentation analyser.

Yes, yes, while their chlorophyl output is lacking compared to some of the more modern Quadhakeymagnets, their reliability is nothing to scoff at. With chlorphyl you need photosynthesizers to actually use it. The modern updates are lacking these severely in their obatrix core. Christ, kids these days think they can just talk out of their arses...Daystar Clarion said:

Aside from the fact that my dad once referred to Youtube as "the Youtube," I haven't had a whole lot of problems in that regard. He does have a tendency to use IE most of the time, though, despite the fact that I've told him multiple times that Google Chrome is better.

Tell me about it... Back in my day, you wouldn't have seen *us* running a chlorophyll-based core mainframe without the photosynthesisers to actually back it up. And they call this the age of the walrus... *sigh*

I have a friend who works in PC world, and he used to tell tales of the various backwards fucks to get the simplest stuff confused. A "hard drive" is not a case.
Here's the funny thing: people keep saying PC world employees are stupid. Not true. They just don't understand when you speak completely wrong.
Also, my dad bought a mac. He bought it because "they're popular". No other reason. And he's managed to break it several times so it has to be taken away to be fixed. All because he didn't know the difference beyond "macs are stylish". I've been asked to sort out his inability to open .exe files several times, too.

"forward slash"
mostly because its the wrong character.
My parents have been using computers in some way, shape or form since the 80's, so I dont get much of it from them- but I've had teachers who still use floppy disks... thats just horrid. And a lot of older neighbors who can't figure out how to turn off their computer and try to send a text to their grandkids phones by sending them an email and just write their kids name in the "To:" box... yea

I'm a technical genius to anyone aside from my brothers when I manage to fix the simplest things people fuck up, or manage to install something they couldn't / get something working.
And thus with a pinch of common sense and knowledge about computers you're labelled as a nerd :/.
People don't bother making shit up to me though because they know I probably know it better than them.

I've had two teachers, one was my high school Spanish I/II teacher and the other was my college ENG102 teacher, and they both think that HTML stands for Hotmail.Queen Michael said:

I blame the advertisers. I work at Wal-Mart and I constantly have to explain that "MP3 Ready" means that you plug a 3.5mm audio cable into it. Yes the same as on your headphones, but on both ends. And then there are the many definitions of "High Definition". And then there's binary gigabytes versus decimal gigabytes. How can you expect ordinary people to understand stuff when the people who make it try to confuse them?
People who arent tech savvy use the word "memory" far too vaguely suggesting more memory as the solution for any problem

Band-Aids anyone? They're adhesive bandages. This crap happens, a trademark becomes synonymous with the product type. As for the abuse or complete lack of knowledge of the proper nomenclature, that's just a cross you have to bear for knowing anything that indeed has its own nomenclature.Aurora219 said:
