But...but...why the radio?

Oooh! Just got a great idea. *Changes TnD's allegiance to a more obvious one based on the latest posts*

Bleh. Word of warning for all ABRers. Never poke around in your computer BIOS unless you're absolutely sure of what you're doing. When trying to overclock my processor, I somehow corrupted the BIOS in such a way that the computer stopped sending out video signals.
Then when I went to sleep, the Power Pack burnt itself out. Despite the computer being turned off.

So I ended up moving my entire motherboard to a different computer with a power pack that only provides about 2/3s of the power the last one did, and hence could go at any time, and having to figure out how to manually restore BIOS defaults.

Luckily my hard dirve survived, so comic should be up soon.

If you were doing what I think you were doing...that's an entirely new use of a computer to me.

[_Puppetmaster_]

Are you taliking about altering the essential program files? I did that once... Luckely, my dad is a computer programmer, so it worked out OK... But still... I pity you...

Well, Spore time.

I have everything on www.onemanga.com ...

Ouch, man. See you next Spring.

That's the second time you've double posted. The Edit button's there for a reason, you know.

A-ha. No. Far, far more dangerous than that. In terms of danger, it's the difference between a party popper and a grenade.
Though my PSU's been having some problems, might check that out in the BIOS.

[Szilard]

You guys been busy.
Hi. Bye.

Lawl. Best typo evar.

I'm using a Mac atm... Help...

You cannot be helped anymore

I used to have a macbook.

Both photoshop and illustrator is available for OS X. In fact, everything you can do on a PC you can do on a mac. Gaming is a little problematic, but there are VMs and windows emulators, as well as boot camp (natively dualbooting windows on an apple-made computer).

They are really wonderful computers, and OS X is by far the best OS I've ever used, but they are ridiculously expensive.

[Wreckingrocc]

...And they're confusing as hell to navigate through. Setting up my wireless network always takes at least 30 mins, even to reboot it.... Windows takes about 30 seconds.... Plus, Macs have all their program files everywhere.... And have awful auto-anti virus softeware (deleted X11, cannot download a new one because mac thinks we still have it).

Bah! It's just a typo, anything else is just your dirty imagination.

What I don't understand it why they give you the option to increase the processor's clock speed, if all it does is kill it.

Yeah, appart from tha fact that these computers have one one button on the mouse and you cant even scroll down... I mean, what the hell?

Anyway, I'm back to my PC *hugglez*

[JasonDoomsblade]

You hold the Cmd button and then click. It acts as the right mouse button. And you just use the arrows keys to scroll down.

Just a bit of info the next time ur on a Mac.

[Lyinginbedmon]

Please, please, don't call it a PC. It's a computer, it's the stupidest thing in ICT to call it a PC.

So who's making the next thread? I know someone called it.

[JasonDoomsblade]

That would be me.

@V: Do you only have 1 arm?

[Threeshades]

You hold the Cmd button and then click. It acts as the right mouse button. And you just use the arrows keys to scroll down.

Ya but that's lame. What about people who have only one arm? They'll have to press their nose on the freakin keyboard everytime they want to do something.

LAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAME!!!!!

[Lyinginbedmon]

@V: Do you only have 1 arm?

I'm suddenly having flashbacks to an old WW2 poem...

Suffice it to say, you don't need to be one-armed to worry about one-armed folk.

Also, Threeshades may or may not have less than two arms.

[JasonDoomsblade]

Well the good news is, you arn't obligated to buy a Mac. Technology has given you choice, between the Pc and the Mac. I however, went one step further and bought both.

[Fawkes]

Please, please, don't call it a PC. It's a computer, it's the stupidest thing in ICT to call it a PC.

Say wha? What's wrong with the term PC?

[Lyinginbedmon]

There are just so many things wrong with "PC" instead of "Computer", it's like saying "America" when you mean "The USA". It's inaccurate and it bugs the heck out of everyone that knows the difference.

One of the most basic problems with PC is that it's used all too commonly to refer to any non-Mac computer. But "personal computer" (PC) means ANY computer used by anyone that doesn't fill a campus building or such, it was first used to differentiate home and office computers from things more like Colossus. The term PC encompasses not just Microsoft computers but Macs as well.

[Dr. Bath]

PC is a perfectly good term... it's just it could still mean a Macintosh product, since 'Personal Computer' doesn't automatically mean it's running Windows (or Linux...but shhh).

BUUUUT LYING.... 'Computer' has the same problem (except for the home/work differentiation). A Mac is still a computer.

I propose we call all computers running Windows 'Dave' and those running Linux 'penguins'

JOB DONE.

Yes, I figured that out after some time.

But why? What's the point? Why make it more difficult? What for? Why not just have two buttons.
However, it is very good for movie edditing...

@Lying: Computer is the genral term for all type's of computer.

Then you get the three makes, Mac, PC (which is ugenerally used for microsopht) and another one that everyone seems to hate but I forget the name.

Technically a calculator is a computer.

[Threeshades]

@V: Do you only have 1 arm?

No I have 6 of them, but I still feel with those people who are not as blessed as I am. Unlike all those Mac users and makers, those evil bastards

Burn them! BURN THEM WITH FIRE!
