Ever been in a computer science/Programming class like this?

[OverVolt]

Well, its a basic Programming I Java class, its really easy, its a breeze. I took it as a GPA booster since i can't resist a pretty much guarunteed 90+ while i write english papers in the back while the teacher explains what memory is.

Anyway, when i'm online the geeky types don't get on my nerves too much, but man, in this class, they are bothering me like you can't believe. EVERY single one of them thinks they know every damn thing about computers, i'm pretty reserved in the back just relaxing, and writing papers and stuff for other classes.

All they do is talk about THE most retarded things when it comes to computers. One kid was talking about how he spent 3k on his computer and had it sent to xoxide.com to have a blow hole put in, and how cool it was, and how he made his own HSF and overclocked to 3.5Ghz, it was sooo loud he had all these fans and all this other BS. Meanwhile someone else talking about how they were thinking of getting an alienware laptop, but know how to build their own, yet had a 1.8Celly Compaq POS, all this BS, makes me wanna tear my hair out.

Ever been around other super dorks talking about stuff they know nothing of but think they're the coolest thing to ever touch a PC?

EDIT: spelling/grammer

Never take a Computer class at ITT. You just described 80% of my classmates. :roll:

 

[notfred]

Or you could ignore them.

WTF... is this a lab?? I don't remember people having loud conversations during classes.

My funniest moment was when the prof was talking about ASCII. It went something like this:

PROF: The problem with ASCII is that it can't represent all languages that are spoken. For example, how many characters are there in the chinese language?

[Student raises hand, prof points to him]

STUDENT: Six

The real answer is no, YOU can't.

Just don't flex your technical muscles at them. They'll cling to you like glue. I made that mistake and am now shadowed at every turn by a psuedogeek troupe.

after thinking about it, how cool would that be? unix on a microwave

mount food

ahahhaaha

The quote above is gospel. Obey this above all else or you really may want to dive headfirst off that tall building?

Just don't forget to unmount before you open the door :Q

I know exactly what you're talking about. They're tons of fake geeks here that pretty much say things like :

"I actually saw the source code to a game *Pause* it was soooo cool, but I spotted all the mistakes they made. "

Right

Basic Java, eh? Write some code to tell them they suck, and send it to them.

I remember this one guy in high school was having trouble formatting a hard drive, and he asked me for help.
I thought he half knew what he was talking about, and I went over to his house.

He said something along the lines of, "This stupid dell can't even enslave a harddrive. So how am I supposed to format it? I called up dell and yelled at them for selling me a pos that can't even enslave a harddrive!" And yes it was able to put a drive in slave mode, but he didn't know he had to change the jumpers on the harddrive.

There's also this other guy who my friend sold a motherboard to, and he was upset because it didn't even come with a cpu. He thought all motherboards come with a cpu.

Thats good. This happened recently in a Mech. Engineering I class.

Prof: What is the gravational constant?
Student: SIX!
Other 59 students: HAHAHAHHAHAAHHAHA
Prof: That's terrible, it's 9.8 m/s^2. Since you just wiped out my whole class with your humor, class dismissed.

Speaking of which, in a non-geek oriented art class, I have stupid kid who can't stop lying, girl that doesn't believe anything, and really homosexual emo kid.

Girl: yes you did, you were talking about it yesterday
Liar: No I wasn't, b!tch


And every day, so on.
