Post your geekeh winnages here.  smile

I talked with my mom for three hours on World War 2.

I'm writing a novel that I hope to publish before I'm 18.

In history class, I annoy everyone (including the teacher) with my ongoing, irrelevant questions about history.

All I can think of now.


Of course it is happening inside your head, Harry, but why on earth should that mean that it is not real?

Installing a bootloader to the wrong hard drive is no fun at all. I got windows 7 back up and running by installing the windows vista bootloader because I didn't know where the win 7 disk was. I didn't even know that bootloaders were stored on the hard drive! I thought they were stored in the BIOS memory or something. I've pulled of a lot of stuff like that.

Saved  a computer from the tip. <-- Which is when I learnt the most about computers. I was able to recover the information but no one supplied me with a usb data storage device to put the stuff on.

Wow, I thought I knew computers... I was wrong.

You thought bootloaders were stored in the mobo's memory? XD I'm certainly glad they're not - that would make multi-boot setups a huge pain, because modifying BIOS files is usually a real pain, specific to the BIOS, and can even brick the entire board if you mess up.
