She ain't that smart. (Yes, I know that's coming from me, but still. tongue.gif)

You don't have to be smart when you get the idea from the microsoft website tongue.gif or on Oprah.

anyone thought of the possiblity that the mother is using ignorance to hide the real plan of regulating internet and computer usage?

Oh very. biggrin.gif

Me: *plays happily when suddenly, the connection gets cut*
Me: MOMMMMMMMMMMMM!!!
Mom: Oh, I didn't know cleaning the phone (and picking it up in the process when she _knows_ what will happen) would disconnect you.

Or when she pretends to be so "I had nothing to do with your disconnecting" and I'd have to be deaf and blind, or at least extremely stupid to believe it.

Shiri do this:

1) Tell your Mum that she's not allowed to use the computer without asking you tongue.gif

2) Demand better internet, trick them into getting if need be I have some tricks up my sleeve that always work.

Also your Mum sounds like my GCSE ICT teacher who graded me A then next year I was told my work was C grade!! She needed help opening her email on Microsoft and couldnt teach to save her life. Though you said your mum does primary school.

Also A funny thing I did tongue.gif
Deleting adware and spyware off my computer I decided to get rid of the last traces I would have to delete some binary files. By accident i delete them all.

I guess I got lucky. Both parents are into computers. Mum has the sweetest gaming computer drool.gif While i'm still stuck with a half built computer, that will always be half built smile.gif
But for me if anything goes wrong and I just get on another computer and go look it up.

Shiri, I feel your pain with anime.. I had to do a full computer format, lost all of mine then.. Must go lanning soon, must leech anime..

Well Shiri, i know how you feel.

My mother goes into chatrooms, she's like the chat Queen, everyone worships her. However, you know how some people get jealous about how someone else always gets the attention (usually guys who get jealous) she's pissed off many people like that so whenever she messes with the wrong person, we end up with someone trying to hack into the computer, or she gets an email that contains a virus from them AND SHE ACTUALLY OPENS IT!

So whenever she happens to piss someone off, i have to spend hours and hours looking through the computer to make sure theres no un-caught viruses.

She also likes to clean out the Computer once a week and you have no idea how many important things i've lost in the process of her doing so.

Hahhhh...my mum doesn't know what an URL is, (and I don't think we have Oprah here) so I don't think she got to the MS website without help...tongue.gif

And Charis, yeesh, that's an odd case. sleep.gif

And now she's trying to clean up spyware. But she AIN'T TOUCHIN' THIS COMPUTER. She can wreck the downstairs one, damnit, and finish wrecking it BEFORE I start downloading Bleach again. Hopefully SOMEONE *pray to you guys* has a working FMA torrent.

FMA DVD's are out.

And get an external hard drive for anime. They're cheap!
Shiri2005-03-08 13:03:54
Nooo. I can't afford the DVDs. I wanted the torrent. :cry:
Soll2005-03-11 18:54:45
URL? Sounds interesting. What is one?
Shiri2005-03-11 19:02:25
You know where you're going to a website, and you type the address, like "www.lusternia.com" into the little bar thing? The stuff you type in is called the "URL" of the site. (I think.)
Soll2005-03-11 19:05:13
*g* I was kidding

I don't have to worry about parents on my computer...but a certain nosey ex-boyfriend once posed as me when he figured out my IM password. mad.gif

I'll have you know one Lusternian coder didn't know that in dos(a long time ago) FORMAT doesn't accually take arguments after it.  So when he did FORMAT A: thinking it would format his disk, it infact was formating C:  He then ofcourse flipped out and turned off the computer in the middle of it.......well he was maybe 7 years old at the time. doh.gif

BAHAHAHA! Now I know that I'm not the only one who did that!
Shiri2005-04-04 19:13:51
Sigh. I took pity on them. I decided to let them near a PC again.

And they did the EXACT SAME THING.

Daganev2005-04-04 19:25:58
YOu still think its an accident?
Shiri2005-04-04 19:31:09
...oi.

Well, actually, yes, since they use the PC for music when I'm on the upstairs one.

Having said that, though, they're not especially gifted with reasoning ability. huh.gif But I don't think they'd do something like that.

I'm glad my parents are inept at computers and I have no siblings.
Shiri2005-04-04 21:23:26
My parents are inept with computers.

And I'm damn well not glad of it! swear2.gif
Unknown2005-04-04 21:27:24
What I meant is that they don't touch it smile.gif
Because they wouldn't know what to do with it smile.gif
