Stupid thing someone told you related to tech
Yup, never under estimate human stupidity.I just realized today, there is no limit to human stupidity
Yeah, they are surely experienced users :P , I don't think they even deserve to be named as users, they should at least know what they are using.i know rolf experience make things brighter XD
i remember this was quoted by Einstein ?
Albert Einstein wroteTwo things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the universe

i have a funny story:
a couple of years ago, my neighbor bought a new desktop for his three kids to play games (their ages 15,17,18) and he asked me to install some games for them and teach'em a couple of things, so i installed a couple of games including GTA San andreas which is a large game, a couple of days later they called me and asked me to check why is their hard disk low on space.
They had a very small hard disk...BUT what these guys did was that they decided that each one should have his own games and they should not play with each others games, so i found 3 new folders on the desktop where each kid copied the games that he liked from its directory to his own folder.
So they ended up having 3 copies of GTA and the list goes on.......
Lesson to be learned: when u dont want people to share your games or programs, just copy them to the dekstop into ur own folders.

Here is a recent story that happened with me 2 days ago:
I was sitting in the computer lab at uni and next to me was a girl, she was spending time on facebook (browsing photos, commenting, playing stupid games etc...) the lab was becoming crowded more and more as the time passed by and it was hot in the room so I went to the administrator and asked him if he could turn on the AC. He did turn on the AC, and after like 5 min the temperature was better, the girl next to me realized that her facebook pages were not loading as fast as they were 30 minutes ago(because more and more people were using the internet in the lab at that time of course) but look how she "diagnosed" the problem:
She looked at me and said: "ouf, look how slow the internet is, they turned on the AC and it slowed down!"
I was going to throw myself out of the window that day... :P
Better throw the girl out in my opinion and tell her:
"They turned on the AC, so you get thrown out" which does make a bit of sense; and opens a lot of questions :)

A while ago a friend asked me to take a look to his computer. Windows took forever to boot on his PC, and startup was extremely slow. I am no Windows expert, but still told him I would take a look. I start the PC and, to my big surprise, all sorts of application started and it took forever for XP to start. Turns out he had installed all of his programs in C:\Documents and Settings\user\Start Menu\Programs\Startup, and all his programs were launched at startup. When I asked him about it, he said that he wanted to make sure the programs would start when he clicked on them...
rahmu hahha .. that's funny .. :P ... okay umm i have two incidents.
one : I was at virgin and checking out new laptops ( i dont know why but i always do that even if i dont need one) so i was talking to my cousin and then there was this girl standing next to me and talking to one of the staffs. apparently she wants a 13inch laptop. so the staff showed her one and she asked him this : how many pictures will it fit ? .. i turned and saw the staff looking at her not knowing what to say and then he was like umm a lot.. ( LIKE SERIOUSLY wha tthe hell )
anyway another incident was that once a neighbour asked me which is better an apple or a mac ... I cracked up laughing i couldnt hold up myself.

5 years ago when I was 13 my friend told me that he installed too many games on his computer and was running on low disk space and he told me his computer was slowing down and stuff so he told me he was gonna delete something off his computer.... The next day I see him and he tells me, "man, you wont believe what happened!!! I deleted some stuff off my computer and now my computer wont work !!!! I cant play music or play games!!!!" and I replied"Why? what did you delete?" and yap you guessed it he said "some folder called windows" I said you cant delete that folder " and he was like I know but I entered the folder and pressed ctrl+a and deleted what I could, but why do you think my computer wont work?" I said "man, why would you delete that folder?" and he said" its 1.5 GB with useless stuff in it !!!!!!! "
I do have to partially agree with him. windows = useless stuff ;)
It's a Fact now. and they even call it "7" !!!
Even a beginner knows that...BashLogic wroteI do have to partially agree with him. windows = useless stuff ;)

When it comes to Lebanon everyone here who can turn on a pc thinks he's the shit and everything, You simply cant argue with his computer engineer/science capabilities because of the fact that he can turn on his pc and install Microsoft office... well there are loaaaaaads of incidents that happened with me, i'll list some stuff i remember now..
-Days ago (out of curiosity) I was asking some local pc hardware stores if they ever knew about the latest release(in Lebanon) of the ATI HD5870 gpu, or the Nvidia GTX380, guess what they say, yes we have the most powerful released vga its name is geforce4 fx tab3eet el 1GB ram, you can run Duck Hunt, Super Mario Bros, hearts in full maximized graphical settings in full beyond HD resolutions, and the most important thing is that you can play the newest counterstrike25(hizbulla vs the evil zionists) and GTA17(bab el 7ara special edition, where you get the chance to play the very super awesome cool character of 3aged abo shehab) and i go like wow seriously thats a must buy VGA(notice the bold vga :D) gotta go get the money, dude i want this so bad (escaping these horrific places in no time)
thats one incident i'll post lots more later

yup, u gotta have a vga capable of running GTA bab al hara, or it's good for nothing
well this is not a stupidest thing but rather a bad thing averyone i know ageek or nor even hear talk about the Graphics Card as a VGA. Guys VGA= Video Graphic Array it could mean the cable (blue one with screws) or a resolution 640*480.Btw on laptops and consoles they are called Graphics Chip. I want you to correct for everyone who says the wrong thing, it makes me go crazy.

Yes I know that i was making fun of the mainstream saying...Its actually GPU(Graphics processing unit) and you can call it graphics card too, most people call it vga and you cant correct them because of the ignorance they living..kareem_nasser wrotewell this is not a stupidest thing but rather a bad thing averyone i know ageek or nor even hear talk about the Graphics Card as a VGA.

You reminded me everyone who sees bigger numbers he/she goes OH BIGGER SHINY and buys it anything not only gfx card like 1gb is better than 800 mb lol the thing is with the GPU which is the CPU(to make things easier to my friends that's what i tell them) of the gfx card.

arithma must know this story too:
one day, our electronics professor at university wanted to start teaching us Matlab so he took us to the computer lab. while everyone is sitting down, he calls after me and says that he can't seem to open the software eventhough it opened at home. at first I thought that he had his laptop, but as I came nearer I realized that he was using one of the PCs in the lab. so, logically, I think that he must have asked the IT to install the software but they didn't. but, as I look to the screen, I realize that he has a floppy disk inserted with, yes I s* u not, a shortcut version of the Matlab program.
I try explaining to him that the software needs to be installed on the PC so that we can use it and then create a shortcut on the desktop. he argues back and says: "I created the shortcut on my laptop, tested it by opening it, made sure it opened, then I copied it to the floppy disk since it was a couple of KB"
what do you say in that case?!?

another story:
I was having my internship at a medical company that installs and repairs hemodialysis machines (i.e. makanet ghaseel el kila).
one day my supervisor has a frantic call from a nurse saying that she can't seem to make the machine turn on. he asks her to try pushing the on/off button well (seeing that sometimes the button gets stuck) but she insists that she tried it more than once and even asked the attending doctor to come and try to turn it on. he schedules a meeting for the next day.
on the next day we go to Baalback since that was where the hospital was, and we bring along a spare battery and a power board since we think maybe there's a problem with the power board or the main battery, and if we couldn't fix the board on-spot they can have a spare one until we fix it (ditto for the battery). when we arrive, I notice that the power cord of the machine is UNPLUGGED, so I plug it in and voila, the machine starts normally. YES, there was nothing wrong with the machine, it was simply unplugged.
my supervisor looks at the nurse and the doctor unable to curse them for bringing us up there for no reason and he had to drive 6 hours in the heat (seeing it was August and well it's Baalback, so it's like 10 times worse) and of course the nice trucks and 6 wheelers on the road hauling gravel and such.
yeah, what do u say to that?
