Just a little newbie humor

[Scootin159]

My roommate was complaining because the way that his desk was setup he had to have his tower sitting on the floor & his computer runs slower down there. He eventually just put a couple of books under it (putting it a whopping 1" off the floor), and says it runs faster now. I tried to explain to him how there is NO reason for that making ANY sense, but he insisted it was running faster. He claimed it was because he had a gateway, and all gateways do that.

Just thought you guys would find that somewhat amusing.

HAHAHAHHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAH... maybe if i put my computer on top of my monitor i can break my 160 mhz fsb block!

"DooD! You're gettin' a DELL!"

 

[Scootin159]

Yeah, I wonder if Dell's do the same thing

Maybe that's why my tbird@1.5ghz seems so fast, because I'm on the 3rd floor & have it sitting on my desk.

 

[ku]

damn, maybe my 450 will run like a 1ghz if i dont have it on the floor in the basement.

Why wasn't I informed of this before..

lol ... i laugh hard now

 

[johndoe52]

Wow...what a break through. Somebody should report that to amd or intel.

That's good stuff though.

I would be very interested in knowing what he bases his reasoning for this on.

 

[vampiro]

That would mean that computers on airplanes would run like....2THz. I have got to get a pilots license! lol

 

[Scootin159]

Me too, so I asked:

"I don't know, but you can feel the difference".

<< That would mean that computers on airplanes would run like....2THz. I have got to get a pilots license! lol >>


Or you could just join bin Laden's forces and get a fake one...

 

[CTho9305]

lol that explains why 750 is stable on the floor but not the desk - its actually only doing 700 it couldn't possibly have anythign to do with thermodynamics / temp gradients

goldfish - i'm sure you offended someone

<< Me too, so I asked:

Tell him to benchmark it.
Most likely he feels a difference because he wants to feel a difference. He's convinced himself there has to be a difference, and so he's noticing what isnt really there.

[Grendel99]

Why am I always the last one to know about this? :frown:

 

[Scootin159]

Maybe I should post this in hot deals:

"FREE SPEED!!"

 

[WonderLlama]

funniest thing i have heard all day

 

[jsbush]

LOL
Thats just like someone saying his TV is bigger when he puts it on top of a book self.

 

[nicowju]

hehehe this is pretty funny.
Now tell him to put one end of an extension cord in his mouth and plug the other end into an AC-outlet. It'll make him smarter

 

[Scootin159]

How about if we switch the switch on the power supply to 230v, that should 2x the speed of his computer, right?

 

[Vraxx]

LOL, maybe its because the air is thinner up there (1ft higher) *snickers*
in light of everything in the news this was a welcome laugh thnx Scootin

Computer Stupidities

 

[Rankor]

I beat your friend; my mid-tower is on wheels (a whole 2" off the floor) and I must say that it does run faster especially when I move it from one end of the room to the other.

 

[ChipNOW]

Damn... funny sh!t

 

[Degenerate]

Serious? i wonder what i can get if i got a cable long enough to reach the moon........
