RAWR! I'm the Autorun Monster
Almost two months has passed, SUNRISE trolling fans, Anime Summer Season failing miserably, daily quality Family Musou games and the start of a new school term. And here I am blabbing about computers again.
Being a Computer Science Major, I know the computer inside out than most people. From using it, maintenance, troubleshooting and raeping it efficiently. (using its full capabilities without harming the system)
So, what’s the gist? What I’m LOL-ing about is, how people react when they see a Autorun.inf file and how they blame me and my flash drive because their PCs are infected. Read the rest of this entry »
ZOMG! it’s the Yahoo! homepage
I’m running out of ideas on what to write about wapanese stuff so I’m sticking to computers for the moment.
I remember the days where having PC was a still luxury and having an internet connection even more so. I got my first PC, a 100Mhz, 128MB RAM 16MB video when I was a third grader, the latest at that time was still Pentium 3 and DOS games rule the market, plus the internet here was still running on 56K and an hour costs more than $2 and monthly subscriptions are only limited to 10hrs, cheapest plan.
Well, there’s nothing to download in those days, except for MP3s and wallpapers, plus I wasn’t using the internet but Hyperterminal,I don’t even know how it works back then, I just follow what my geek neighbor told me: dial this number, wait till it says connected, go to hollywood and type what you’re looking for. It doesn’t even have pictures, just text. (imagine MS-DOS)
When I learned how to use Netscape Navigator (which came from the ISP’s CD) I only visited three sites, www.hotmail.com, www.pokemon.com and still a baby, www.yahoo.com. (well, you can’t blame a gradeschooler for going along with the pokemon boom).
Websites back then are simple, blue sites are owned by boys and pink sites are by girls. Flash was still Shockwave, and the only shockwave site I visit was Cartoon Network. we’ll I was the “kid” before.
I learned P2P when I was in grade 6, i was still using audiogalaxy before but I moved to kazaa since some of the songs I like are for sale or doesn’t have enough “seeds” in today’s internet lingo. I discovered bittorrent around late ‘02. Animu wasn’t even in bittorrent so I was stuck downloading pron mag scans at dial up speeds (wasn’t resumable, though it’s in acceptable file sizes). I think animu on torrents started with Gundam SEED, around ‘03. Still, I can’t download them because of their insane filesizes, it wasn’t even in the standard 170+MB. On the other hand, I was reading scans since my elementary days (bad kid, rily), and the popular manga scans back then are H-Mangas released in US (like Super Taboo, Slut Girl and Silky Whip to name a few).
So, timeskip…
Nowadays, Computers and the Internet are common words even faggots and kids know how to use it. You can assemble a good Computer set with roughly $150 (Pentium 4, 512MB RAM, 128MB Video, basic peripherals etc.) and internet service becoming cheaper roughly $10 a month for DSL.
And because of the birth of scum sites like friendster, youtube, myspace, crunchyroll, etc that gives reason for scum kids to access the internet, the once digital utopia is now what you call a slum.
Yesterday, my professor brought his laptop in class. I saw his Windows classic GUI then I realized that same type of people sets up their desktop gui the same way, and the funny thing is… their desktop setup similarities are beyond coincidence.
Oh yeah… this what I observed within my school’s population, though I’m 75% sure it can apply to other PC users as well.
