You can't get your head around the average Joe thinking that's boring as fuck? I can't get my head around that tbh.

 

So are many things, but that still doesn’t mean that you wouldn’t have at least a vague working knowledge of them.

 

Especially if you used them often.

 

I eat toast but I'm fucked if I could build a toaster.

 

Well you can just toast it on a fire (and it's really nice that way :unsure:), but you really couldn't build a toaster? (or at least a heating element or at the very least know the basic principles of it?)

 

You are obviously shrouded by the blanket of ignorance then!

 

Indeed I am (or was) shrouded in ignorance about the level and breadth of other people shroud of ignorance. :unsure:

 

It’s a scarily Noddy-esq world in which we live.

I work in IT and couldn't be arsed to read it. I'll have a look now and tell you if I understood it.

(although you shouldn't be able to understand it as he's talking rubbish, kinda like saying a car can only run on one brand of petrol or something.... although much much more ridculous than that - I honestly thought it was someone taking the piss, but now I dunno :unsure:)

You are taking this faaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaar too seriously!

 

I read it, understood it and realised the bloke was a nob but frankly I can understand why others a) couldnt be arsed to read it and b ) didnt understand it.

 

I drive a car, I know it has an engine but if someone asked me why I couldnt use the clutch from a Mondeo in a Porsche I wouldnt have a clue and I wouldnt care.

But do you know what a clutch does? Or indeed how it works (depending on type)? (although you probably could swap clutches with enough messing, but I don't really know why you'd want to and it completely wouldn't be worth it however)

 

See I'd have thought yes, but I'm now pretty sure no (I'm actually wondering how many people could change a wheel now). :D

 

 

 

In a strange way this does explain why MS operates like it does however, they do seem to know their consumers.

you're missing the point Fop, you're sounding like music fans who are wetting themselves with excitement because this other music fan said that his record player couldn't work with this needle, when it fact it could, quite easily.

 

it's not that he's right, or your right or that the question is stupid or shrewd... it's that for those of us who just care about listening to the music.... it's interminably dull.

Get a fucking life man!!!

 

Get some knowledge and broaden your horizons. :icon_lol: Or at the very least just understand what this thread is talking about. I am pretty shocked people can own computers and not have that knowledge tbh. :unsure:

 

This thread scares me a bit tbh, I have visions of torch baring mobs shouting "we must burn what we don't understand, burn it I say!!" :lol::unsure:

 

 

:lol: KILL IT WITH FIRE :lol:

 

 

:D

No it's more like being amazed that few people understand that someone saying only music from ONE record label will work on their record player is complete bollocks. :unsure:

 

Boring or dull or highly interesting is irrelevant to understanding, but understanding is much less general than I thought..... probably I shouldn't be so surprised however, that much is true. :unsure:

 

 

 

 

But do people honestly believe there weren't PCs (or IBM compatibles I suppose) before Windows, or indeed Winwhatever is the only OS that can run on them?

To be fair, maybe some of us find politics, or girls with their snatches visible, or tips on where the bangin'-est club is boring. Yet those threads aren't derided, simply because this is 'nerdy boring' as opposed to 'dull boring.'

 

If people want to debate this, then fair enough. if you don't understand it, there's no real need to contribute.

 

Fop makes some decent points, by the by. I picked up enough just from using a computer over years to understand this. having said that, Linux still isn't entirely compatible enough for my liking. I've tried several different builds.

I find that a lot of people don't even know what version of Windows they are using.

 

Q: "So, what version of windows are you using?"

 

A: "Erm, 97 I think"

 

Alex, what do you actually do for a job then? Bit scary that you work in IT :unsure:

I'll take your word for it, considering the horrendous amount of TV you blatantly watch. :unsure:

Doubtlessly you're right. I just assumed, given Gemmill's obsession with real-life TV.

Heh tbh I feel like I've woken up inside a Lipton's Iced Tea add. :unsure:

Aye it's not for everyone certainly, still has some driver issues and is difficult to use for gaming (although as I said no more than Win3.X was).

 

But I'm not promoting Linux really, just surprised is all.

 

 

 

Having said that something like Ubuntu is free (always good), updated very regularly, has good driver support and good user support, full 64bit support, will run completely off a bootable CD (you can just about make win98 do that with a powerful PC :D), is secure as hell and for stuff that is basically web browsing, e-mailing and a bit of word processing is pretty solid (has firefox and stuff ready to go).

In fact it’s almost as install and go as WinXP really, except for stuff like gaming (although most of Win Vista’s GUI enhancements were available on Linux long before Vista went live, and were hardware accelerated rather than Vista’s software acceleration).

 

And, or course, it does not need windows to run. :icon_lol:

 

 

Ironically a lot of people will also be using it without realising it…. does that make them nerds by proxy? :unsure:

don't be daft Pat, there's plenty of threads on here about "nerdy" stuff, it's an interent forum for fucks sake.

 

also I doubt you'll find many threads about the banging-est club, or girls with their snatches showing.

 

basically I don't need to know which record label an artist is on to enjoy or loathe his music.

 

you IT chaps need to calm down before you burst a blood vessel.

Oooh yay, here comes Patrokles to take the moral high ground over the smallest argument that has fuck all to do with him. For a change. :unsure:
