Whenever someone has a question about some sort of computer-related thing, they'll come to me. I know SOME things about computers, but not all. I can't really suggest parts for a computer, I can't really explain what to do on a computer to an idiot, because my friends ARE Computer-Savvy, and I use the proper terms for things.
Like today, someone asked me how to change their homepage. This guy was one of my friends, but he wasn't the guy that I hang around with 24/7. So I ask him if he's using Internet Explorer, the obvious answer was yes, and that's what he gave me. So I sighed and tried to remember how to do that in IE, which didn't take long, then I realized that IE6's preferences and IE7's preferences are different, so I needed to know which one he had.
"When you click on the shortcut on the desktop, what color is the ring going around the "e"?"
"Uhhhhhhhhhhhh, I think it's Gold..."
Great, he's using IE7, so I think, so just to confirm it, I ask if he can use tabs or not.
"Alright, when you have Internet Explorer open, can you have tabs?"
"What do you mean?"
"Alright, easier question. When you open a link, does it open in a new window"
I knew that wasn't the best question, but the default settings for IE6 I believe a new link will open in a new window, so I asked it anyway.
"Oh, yeah! Window Vista!"
I simply COULD NOT go on after that! And yes, he said WINDOW, not WINDOWS >_>
After that, I really can't help anyone. If you're going to be a kid in today's age, at least KNOW how to work the computer, better than going to your favorite website, better than typing a Word document or making a Powerpoint! Learn the language a little bit! Know what your desktop is, know what a "Web Browser" is, know what a "Window" and a "Tab" are! It just bothers me so much that people think computers can only be used for School Work, Banking, MySpace/IM, and Porn! Really, it just pisses the hell out of me! I'm smarter than my Computer teachers! There have to be only 100 people out of the 1200 in my Middle School that know how to use a computer to its fullest extent, and can actually help out on a computer!
I can understand adults, most of them didn't have the technology we did, but kids in their teens should know how to use a computer!
So yeah, whine whine whine, rant rant rant etc. I'm just so mad off that people 1. Think that Glasses = Nerd, and 2. Nerd = Super Awesome with Computers.
Is anyone else bothered with retarded computer questions?
That's the main uses for subpar users, so its understandable.

Was "uses" supposed to be "use"? >_>
No, I'm bothered that the school's whores think that I know everything about computers too.
Heck, to be honest, I hardly know anything. I know how to use it, some terms, but that's it. Still, I know how to do more on the crappy school computers than use iMovie to make my face look "funny"... >_>
Seriously. All of the dumbpoop whores at my school go to the library (I know it's probably spelled wrong...) and use iMovie's effects to make their faces look different, and they think it's the funniest thing EVAR. They do it day after day after day after day... and then I pulled the plug on the computer, and they freaked out because they thought it got a virus. :D
Meh, I know a little about computers :-\

That's stuff that I'm talking about! They think that they broke something because the mouse is unplugged etc.
It's not hard to learn how to use a computer like nerds do. Hell, if you aren't an idiot and have the setting on in iGoogle where your searches change depending on what you've previously searched, anything in the world is easy with Google! I figured out how to make any fullscreen game into a window by adding "-window" to one of the boxes under shortcut properties, thanks to Google! A computer isn't hard to use, any computer is user friendly, the user just has to be computer friendly >_>

Lol.
I know a decent amount of computer stuff.
My mother considers a me a computer genius because I plugged in an Ethernet cable.
My dad's an engineer, so I know plenty of computers. Just not how they work. >_>

People don't go to me for everything (thank god), but everyone that only knows me slightly thinks I play WoW. It annoys the hell out of me. D:

Why does anyone waste their money on that game? Seriously, I want to know.

I laughed.
Lol. That's not always a bad thing. I've gotten Captains, Lt's and all sorts of Sergeants come to me with their electronic goods.
I've gotten all sorts of odd jobs. A flash card shoved so far in the port you couldn't see it anymore. A radio with a broken antenna and knobs.
It happens when you job title says "Special Electronic Devices Repairer/Computer Dector Systems Repair" They're like, "Hey you! You fix computers right?" xD
In the end, you get sucking up points without even sucking some penis.

Can he build me a dispenser?
Yep, people are computards.
It's true though, the in-crowds use computers for only three reasons:
1) school
2) myspace
3) iming

No, he specialises in sentries though.
I can make a decent teleporter.
For reasons like this, is why I act stupid, people that have the "I.Q." of a duck think they are smarter than me. Which makes me happy that other people tend to do work for me too ^_^
and also the computer techs. in my school (the people who manage the computers) are so retarded. They think when they are installing programs that they know more than everybody in the school. I SWEAR THEY NEVER HERD OF LINUX! Yea they are that bad....
Also, you spelled computer wrong.

You're the first person to notice that...
People always ask me to fix their computer stuff...but I can usually help. :P
I'm a computer whiz.
Just...not a programming/coding whiz, which is evident when I break NSF. :B
