Posting your computer's specs in your forum signature...



You know what really grinds my nerd gears? Every motherfucker on a technology message board with their computer's mediocre specs billboarded in their signature like, "Proud white Catholic owner of genuine Windows 8 on a 1.5 giggity-hurts AMD Celery processor and 4 GBs of marijua- memory in my 6-year-old Dell foldable computer from Amazon! More like amaz-ing!" Yeah, and you must think the 'Celery' processor and 'GBs' make it eco-friendly, too.

I think... I hear a bandwagon coming. I'll just walk instead, thanks.

Speaking of walking, I'm considering a career as a mercenary paid to find people like you, just so I can smash your windows and kick your gates down. That's what I call footing the bill.

No seriously, stop that shit. Unless you've got a remarkable machine on your hands, we don't want to know. And even then, we probably wouldn't believe you.

I'd be more impressed if you posted your overly underwhelming specs and then followed up with a video or pics or something of some unexpected feat you pushed that silicon circuit board up to. Say, you got Call of Duty: World at War running smoothly on High settings with a Sandy Bridge Intel IGP via somehow overclocking it, or some other means. Maybe you defied the impossible and overclocked your HDD. Or perhaps you managed to switch the roles of the RAM and CPU. Anything's possible with arms wide open to bullshit ideas.

This spate of hate's retiring for now. Enjoy your celery.
