Fine, Creationists want to play scientists. I wont be mean and will keep an open mind.

Please give me a scientific experiment that can hold up to the Scientific Method that is in direct relationship to Creationism.

Oh, and the final answer cannot be God, since God does not exist on this plane of existence and thus God's existence cannot be proved nor disproved. And you will also lose points for say that because the eye is complex, there must be a creator. Give me an actual experiment that can pass the scientific method peer review please.

What part of your body were you shaving to make you think of '6666'?

Go into the C:\ and delete anything that is not a picture file or an *.exe.

When I did support for Dell, I actually got a call for 0xDEADBEEF. I walked up to my boss and told him I quit (I didn't quit though). I don't remember what my resolution was though, except that there was no reason for them to have it on their computer.

Also changed the path directory of My Documents to the D:\

I think most of you who have replied to this post have don't get the point.

I myself have a parent that uses XP, but I also have a background in tech support for Internet and OS, and I can tell you that few people like to change to something different. I can agree Ubuntu is safer and better, but some people, especially those advance in their years, refuse to learn and will panic at the first sign of trouble.

Those few that have helped your parents to use Ubuntu, I think that is an achievement, but not everyone can be as successful as you. And just because someone chooses to use XP instead of a Linux distro for their parents doesn't make them a troll or a n00b, they just know it is easier for them to have them use XP.

This is how I feel about my mother, she is use to the Windows Interface. If I switch it on her, no matter how much training I give her, she would never be happy with it. It has taken me years just to teach her to use Firefox, and yes I know Ubuntu is more secure and as I teach her how to do things with it, she wouldn't have as many problems, she would not be happy with it and just refuse to do anything to help herself.

There are few people who really want to learn anything about computers, they simply want it to do what they desire and that's it. And once they get use to a certain feel of something, that's all they want to do. I remember back when I did dial up support (the horror), I had a customer call in that wanted to help as they didn't understand how to use it. So I set up their dial-up through IE and got them online but they were disappointed as there was no interface like AOL had and decided to cancel just for that reason. I could have tried to explain how this was better than AOL and you could get all of the same kind of AOL features through the internet, but they hung up before I could try. They were comfortable in their little bubble and that is how most computer illiterate people are.

Built for gamers, bought by old people who think the more money something is, the less that will go wrong with it (and boy are they mad when they have to call into tech support).

When I did support for Dell, a few years back, I use to joke that their XPS top of the line machines, mainly the 700 series, was more of an overpriced space heater than an actual computer.

Believe it not, nerds may be the target audience, but nerds don't buy these kinds of computers. Generally it is old people who buy these kinds of computers.

Basically it comes down to, the more money a computer it is, the assumption that there will be less wrong with it. Unfortunately, the opposite is true when it comes for computers.
