Mine was a desktop, but everyone else in the house has only laptops, other than my mum's ancient XP and 98+(!) machines that aren't connected up right now.

I really hope my HDD's fine, it's got a few saved games/documents on there I can't be bothered to redo. Also my facebook login info, which I've completely forgotten.

Also, I meant to say I have to steal laptops while everyone's asleep. oops.

I need to stop automatically trying to diagnose computer problems I'm hearing about.

You got to it before me.

I fucking hate comcast. A few day's ago they spammed my computer with messages like "We have detected a bot on your computer! Download our Security Suite!" which is frankly bullshit since I know I don't. I wondered how they could no, since I have nothing from comcast installed on my computer. The FAQ said "We track your IP address and scan it for any malicious programs.", now I don't know alot about computers but this sounds like bullshit. It also said "You cannot opt out of these messages, when you signed up for comcast you signed an argreement that allows us to inform you of malicious programs on your computer.". So after getting fed up with them constantly spamming me with messages, and even blocking sites they think are "Malicious" (Hell they even blocked bay12) I install their Norton Security Suite.

Upon setup it tells me "Norton does not run well with other Anti-Viruses, we suggest you uninstall all other anti-virus systems on your computer.", obviously I click "Hell No". Norton is currently slowing down my computer, so I called the Norton Security help line. After being put on hold for twenty minutes they tell me "The comcast version of Norton Security Suite does not use the memory needed, you should buy the non-comcast version.", so I got really pissed off then and called comcast. They put me on hold for over 30 minutes, and then I just called it quits since it was extremely late.

The damn security suite even has the nerve to tell me games that im running are taking up a high amount of CPU, well no shit.

Oh gog don't get me started on Comcast bro. We lost Internet for a week, because their workers accidentally cut us off while working on my neighbors. They charged us for that. Like, "Hi, you have to pay to pay for our shitty service".

[Nadaka]

ITs ok, their DNS service is notoriously unreliable for me. There are days where I can't load any sights except the ones stored in my browsers session where it has cached the IPs locally.

-comcast rage-

Hmm. have you tried a different DNS than comcast's own? (OpenDNS, etc) All the blocking probably would stop there.

Charged you? Explain please?

I read this comic.  Innocent people are in jail right now and Randall Munroe is free.  Justice is dead.

[Scaraban]

I smirked. It' 'ardly criminal fer someone to be 'avin' a sense of 'umor that don' perfectly match yer own!
I smirked again typing that, for instance.

[Cthulhu]

If there were a recognizable joke I'd pass it off as a difference of taste (Even though "to each his own" is a cop-out and a thought-terminator), but there's no recognizable joke.  All I see is something that must be destroyed.

[Scaraban]

That's the thing, though. It doesn't have to be a joke, there all many strips with no humor to them at all. He might just be talking about how crazy these (not)words drive some people in a fashion that some may find amusing.

[fqllve]

I think the joke is on the brunette lady and the audience themselves. Kind of a 'haha this is terrible and you just cringed.' That went to a pretty disturbing place too, even beyond the annoying words. I cringed.

[inteuniso]

The joke is that all those words used together crush your soul.

They put extra money on our next bill, and titled it as "Additional Maintenance Services". We called and asked, and they said it was from the work they did, the 'work' being providing us with the service we had already paid for.

My parents' house has Roadrunner.  It was really slow during peak hours and my dad raged and raged, he still doesn't fully understand that it's the internet making his Tibia slow and I have to explain to him each time we look at new computers that Tibia runs on smartphones now and there's no computer you can buy in a store today that won't run Tibia.  On the old computer he literally uninstalled everything unnecessary except for Tibia in the hopes of squeezing out every last frame-per-second in his 2d isometric MMO.  Yes, even Solitaire and Paint.
