I'm surrounded by idiots Thread

I'm sat next to someone, watching her type "google" and "yahoo" into IE's address bar in order to use MSN Search to get a link to the actual search engines.

...

Help?

please.....tell....me.....your.....joking.

everyone knows altavista is better j/k

but that is well insane

Some people don't understand computers, not their fault. I'm sure I'd make stupid mistakes doing something I have no idea about, like skating.

sounds like my mum

she has no clue about computers

It is funny watching people do things they have no idea

I've done stupid things before, im sure its hilarious for others

Jackson, I go to google, type msn search, and use that whenever I need to use msn search, if I remember their current domain is like beta.search.msn.com , which I can't remember anyways

Yeah, I have to do that whenever there is no address bar available. This is usually the case at library computers, when it mysteriously disappears.

Yeah the media center computers at school suxx0rs but in my one computer class ew finally got flat panel plasma screens and P4 IBMS!!!! it poons.

plasma screens, are you sure, you got a rich ass school if you got flat screen plasmas....

if you wanna search from address bar

type

A9.com(whatever you want to search here, spaces and all, no () of course)

@ spector - I think he means LCD screens, which don't necessarily fit into the "flat panel plasma screens"

Nope, plasma mostly pertains to televisions rather than computer monitors.

OMFGH!!!!!!!!!!! who is that dum???!!!

We have old as Celeron's running at around 500MHz in some of our computer rooms. Art rooms have 2.4GHz Celerons with 1GB ram and Geforce FX 5600XT's though.

Wow, it's like in that helpdesk clip I posted a few weeks ago. There are those 12 o' clock flashers.

the web design computers at our school are p4 dells, flatscreens

the computer modelling is the same.

the computer science(programming) is 250mhz p2s with crts that hurt our eyes.

My school recently went on a big upgrade spree during our network outage, so we now have 800mHz minimum, 256mb RAM minimum, XP Pro, but for some inexplicable reason the machines are stuck at 800x600. Since I'm used to the screen real-estate of a 1600x1200 19" monitor, this is a bit of a drop.

The UHI group n colleges around scotland never upgrade to windows xp, they always use windows 2000 NT or something :o

we have p4s with h.t. tech and 17" monitors in our puter graphics class at college, but we do have a few 300MHz machines around.

In one class room at college, they upgraded the whole room with TFT 15" monitors black ones.. with white bases.. thye just enjoy to throw money away

are school has about 25-30 1995 compaqs I would say slower than 333Mhz... and our tech class has 16 dell's P4 2.6GHz 500MhzFSB 512ram and 40gb hd's, may not be much but its one hell of an upgrade...

Well, that's more of a silly habit than an idiotic move. My mother likes to double-click on everything, even if it is a Submit button or a hyperlink. She also likes to wait until the entire page loads fully before doing anything, but I think that's alright to do in my book. Sometimes you can screw up when you don't do that.

hmm , and i thought my mom was bad, she calls the computer the internet likes its all one thing, but shes not that ignorant about computers
