My mom runs tech support for her office, and their company's other office in the states. Some retard calls her one day and asks why her computer keeps randomly shutting off, in a 30 second phone call my mother realized she was kicking the power cable loose all day. >_>

Stupidity at it's finest.

Good luck with your tech problems GTAF.

I'm dealing with a... not very tech-savvy person right now. He couldn't figure out I was telling him to move all his files to his desktop for about 5 minutes. =|

I missed one of my classes today. My mom blames Halo. My dad disconnects the xbox and scratches his name into the bottom of the disk. (Which was mine).

I'm 18, come on.

I seriously think this is the last straw. They can take my laptop, my car, halo, but they cant take my life.

I would leave if I had somewhere to go.

Now that's harsh. I can understand taking it away...but totally ruining the game that you bought...What a jerk.

But I am sure that if you try to make him pay for it they will give you some smart ass 'provide a roof over your head' remark.

Jerk is an understatement. Both my parents can go fucking kill themselves. I can't wait to get out of this god damned house. Someone please kill me.

my rant is someone stole my half my money at school = (

My rant is that people actually bring half their money to school :/

And I have a ton of homework.

My rant is certain members in power arround this place getting too high in their thoughts for their feet to touch the floor...
Those of which are no use to anyone on a public discussion sub-forum.

Well, it turns out that my 360 is having a problem. Plugged in my dad's 360 and it worked just fine on the exact same cords and TV. Unfortunately, the 3 year warranty only covers RRoD, so my 360 is basically just a brick at the moment. Anyone know how to intentionally RRoD a 360 without making it look obvious? Or better yet, does anyone know how to just fix the problem?

Ugh.

Guess I'm not the only one.

This might help for faking the RRoD, but I have no ideas to fix the problem itself.

You could always just say it's having RRoD problems.

I'm pretty sure they turn it on at the repair center to analyze the problem.

Darco · Post by **Darco** » Fri Sep 14, 2007 11:33 am

Oh. Well its worth a try. It's entirely possible that the first time they plug it in a new problem occurs. When I had the RRoD, my xbox started up fine a couple times after I initially had the RRoD. So you've got a chance at least.

My 360 all of a sudden stopped displaying on the TV, and the 360 itself doesn't have any error rings, so I know it's not the 360 or cable's fault. So I go to the lovely Samsung support site and what's the solution they provide? Check if the *** wires are plugged in. No *** **** they're plugged in, what kind of idiot actually *** solves his problem this way?

God damnit I really don't feel like *** calling tech support and getting this piece of **** serviced again.

Its called ( something like) The Covering of the Legal asses.

Kind of sad really, but then you just read them and laugh

Edit: So... what, the word

"Ass" and "damn" are not censored.

A few aren't really a big deal unless they're being used derogatorily.
