way back when i saw first PC at my friend's dad's office we both were thrilled. It was like WOW a compooter :)

and then we switched it on after sometime it went blank with a C:/ blinking...

so we typed - " Want to play games" " how to play games" and many such lines and all we got in return was "Bad command or File name" ...(DOS Default)

Thinking we did something and it has busted..... we opened it.... one of the friends suggested wire loose hoga... so we pulled n pushed back many such wires :)

and we couldnt close the box ... so just kept it like it was ..... and ran away....
 
lol.

7th grade :-- (1998)
------------------------
Computer teacher -- Computer is a magical box and it has all the answers of your question
In the practical room ,my noob friend with his notebook and pen ready,at DOS c: prompt types -- " What is ductility ? "
That noob writes in his book -- " What is ductility ? is not recognized as an internal or external command operable program or batch file " :P:P:rofl::rofl:
 
I was in last year of engg.And there was one absolutely dumb prof :S One day he had to book his seat for some seminar and told me to do payment as i was staying close to where booking was done.So i told okies and inquired about it.Next day i came and told they accept only cheque and that too has to be given to two different persons splitting the amount.

And then everything went crazy. He said "arrey ek hi cheque pe comma dalke name dal de dono ka" (On one cheque only put names of both persons)

I was like :O :ashamed: : :LOL:
 
(years ago, a Friend and Me going to school early morning in bus ...standing as no seats were available.. Heard two engineering/diploma students on nearby seat talking..)

Student 1: Arre yaar, college ka Computer lab ka sab PC change kar diya..suna kya tune?!!

Student 2: Kya baat karta hai ??!! Awesome..!!

Student 1: Arre bt kuch fayda nahi...!!?? :disappointed expression: Chu**ya log ne AC nahi lagaya Lab mein. Barish mein virus aayega.. :shit disappointed expression:

It is not related to computers but it happened in my 4th sem engg.
We had to fax something to bangalore and my lecturer told to take tha xerox of the hard copy to be faxed.
When we asked why, he said that the faxed copy would go to bangalore thru fax, then we wont have any copies left. Thats why.

Having read each post here, I recall what Einstein once said:
"Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the universe."

During my engg days, before our gaming event we were formatting all lab machines to do a fresh install of windows xp

I asked all the volunteers to write down the network settings(ip's , mask etc) and then change it once we install the new os...

after we installed the new os, one guy says ..."arre sala, yeh settings delete ho gaya be"....

i was like...dude didn't u write it down ? .... he says "arre notepad mein save karke Desktop mein dala tha...abhi nahi hai"...

lmao..tears in my eyes :) ...laughing !!!
 
my classmate: rahul, one game is not working on my PC

me: what's config

classmate: p4, asus motherboard, 256mb hard disk, 80 gb ram, dvd player :bleh: :rofl:

that was amazing, I couldn't stop laughing..

another-

other classmate: mera mobile baar baar hang ho rahaa hai (my mobile is hanging again and again)

me: which mobile?

he: Airtel... :rofl:

How can engineering students be like that? and that too Computer engineering... :@ PATHATIC..

my own dumbness I remembered -

I was in 5th standerd or so, I was playing NBA 1998 something... I don't remember actual name of that game, the demo came with Chip magazine that time.. my friend liked the game alot.. and he also asked the game. I given him only that SHORTCUT ICON from floppy drive as I didn't had any cd or dvd drive.. and he was complaining me that game is not starting.. I was teasing him that his computer is crap, can't even run that game :bleh:
 
^^ yea last incident happens with many people including me. :P

PS : u need to correct your grammar and spellings :|
 
^ :bleh: effect of marathi medium :ashamed: he heh.. TE helped and helping me for improving my English :D
 
The worst ones are those noobs who know nothing and yet for some reason believe that they know it all !!! (techboy stuff :ohyeah: ) .....

Example:

Me joined mgmt college and there were many who knew bull about comps, they all decided to approach the comp. lab in-charge who was "supposed to be" the smart guy with PCs there......

he adviced people to go for at least "2 GHZ" "Pentium 4" based computer/Laptop .... With at least 512 MB of RAM and 80GB of HDD.....preferrably with Windows vista :@:@ (and it was last year) .....

and he specifically told them to stay away from AMD because their CPUs overheat ....... guess he did his engg. in year 2000 and was stuck in a technology time warp since then .....

It pissed me off like anything and I tried to convince the "noobs" that the "pro" was actually a noob too...... but to no avail....they complied.... and many got shitty systems specifically suggested by the "pro" ......... the only saving grace would have been that no laptop manufacturers offered 80gb hdds and 512 mb of RAM on them anymore .... :P ....
 
Well lemme iterate my story. This is after I was done with my BTech and I took admission in one of the finest CDAC institutes in Pune.

The very first day, our professor briefed us about the usual lab setup. He told us things like, in each computer there is a directory under C drive named CDAC, under that there are individual user folders and so on. He told the class to go through the folders and review the contents.

The next day a (Graduate) young lady reported to the professor that she couldn't locate the CDAC folder in her PC, back at her home.

Another one about me:

When I first learnt using the internet, I didn't have any faint idea that we could open multiple windows. I used to go to a cyber cafe, and pay 40 rs an hour, just to key in the url and then pressing Refresh key.......the net used to be so slow that the login page seldom showed in 10 minutes. Only when i used to be done with work on one site, I used to open another one (desib-a-b-a)
 
Friend1 to Friend2- You know, Mihir has original Cricket 2002 and Cricket 2004 Games
Friend2- So what? I also have original.. :)
Me & Friend1- (ROFL) What? :O
Friend2- What's so new in that? I also have cricket games that have original faces of cricketers

Yeah.. Same thing here.. Very big n00bs studying in computer engg... All students of my class come to me with complete n00b questions.. And the questions are so noobish, that its just a pain in the @$# to answer them.. :@

Some students in my class still copy those shortcuts.. Some of them think that the application hasn't installed if they don't see a shortcut of it on desktop

n00b Friend: (looking at her phone)shit yaar read nahi ho rahaa hai

me:memory card format kar le

n00b Friend:Abe mera earphones read nahi ho rahaa.

me::rofl: :rofl: :rofl:
 
I used to run a cafe which used to run on games... Incidentally a floppy fiasco made me format all my machines.. so I used to keep an eye on the floppy usage... One day a boy inserted a floppy and copied all the game shortcuts from the desktop...

His actual lines...

"Ab main yeh sab games bech ke tumhara dhanda poora kam kar doonga.. I was like f$%# off I dont give a shit" :rofl:
 
I have met alot of n00bs in my life, one being an old friend of mine, last month he came to my place i was playing GTA IV

Friend : Nice game even i want it, can you give me the CD so i can install on my comp.
Me : This game will not work on you machine as yours is P3 and you also have an onboard Graphic which is not sufficient.
Friend: Abbe nahi de na hai to bol de na, ch****ya kyu bana raha hai, tere pc pe chal raha hai to koi bhi pc pe chalega, waise bhi tera pc saasta hai maine 90k mein karidha tha aur tera to 60k ka bhi nahi hoga, sirf monitor bada hai. Mere PC pe sab game chalega.
Me: yeah buddy, nahi dena hai, please leave either i'll kill you or shoot myself

Same friend last sunday.
We had a meet at one of our friends place he has a PS3 and was playing GTA IV, call it a coincidence or something this friend comes over

Freind : Abbe yeah to wohi game hai na tu tere ghar pe khel raha tha, is baar to leke hi jauga.
Me : ha wahi game hai, but you need ps3 to play it [Me talking with pointing towards the PS3]
Friend : [Takes a close look at PS3 and says] abbe ye Sony ka dvd player hai mere pass bhi sony ka hi DVD player hai sirf yeh remote nahi hai, aaj CD aur remote leke jata hu next sunday de duga.

We both were laughing on the floor.

I have many incident of this friend will share later....
