Of course that happens when the users overcock them too much!

A pure win is the first quote. The second quote downright almost spit my water.

Your father gave it that name after he took it apart to see how it was screwed together.

ROFL so I am telling my coworker about some of these responses and she says in response to the fatherboard comments "oh thats prolly why they sometimes burn out, they get RAMmed too much"

Haha, the collective minds of ATOT should refine that a bit and I'll send that to my female professor

though, you and I might have different definitions for "win"

Yo, TB, your professor?

Aren't you referring to the Intro to Comp class (or some such) class you're taking at a community college?

Please feel free to get all offended in response.

Heh, I have not been offended since around middle school. Anyways, that Intro class is over, and now I'm taking an 8 week intro to programming :roll: so that I can finally take c++ and advanced c++ in the fall/spring.

Unclefucker, on the other hand....

Because you buy it a bunch of expensive shiny adornments and it treats you well for a while, but after a few years it just stops working. So you go get a newer younger one.

This thread delivers!

This thread is full of awesome. My coworker was rummaging around in my office and I made the mistake of reading through the latest replies... Damn near ripped my lip off trying to keep from laughing. Didn't help that I was picturing my coworker making a string of obnoxious beeps. Kinda sounds like vi edit is dating R2D2...

Which sadly is more expensive, requires more power, and requires more time to figure out.

On the plus side, accepts more RAM.
