Mystification Of Computing
========================== Hello fellow *nixers, This thread is about the prejudices "normal" people (or just retards) have about computing, or as I called it _mystification_ of computing. Use this thread to discus and/or dump all your mystic materials. A content is classified as mystic if it deviates from reality, or relate to a urban legend, or is just completely hilarious because of its stupidity. The content can vary from quotes to movie extracts. It can be anything. Rules: You have to name each "case" of mystification and you have to give a little explanation of what you think is going on. ###The "Internet Explorer case" (aka the IE case): A lot of people are still using this monstrous browser, in fact, I think 70% of the internet runs it. This gave birth to what is known as the IE case, people *believing* IE is superior and *safer*. Examples: ###The "Matrix screen case": There's just too much content around the internet showing terminals with characters falling. It's obviously a bad cliché, some still believe that someone somewhere is reading those characters. Example: ###The "A thief is there case": This one is pretty hard to explain. It's pretty common for people nowadays to think that stealing their accounts is easy. Well, sometime it's relatively easy but most of the time it is not and there's already multiple ways to prevent anyone from accessing someone else account or bruteforcing it. Let's be realistic, most of this is about phising and not about someone cracking accounts. Example: ###The "App case": A picture is better than a thousand words... ###The "CS case" (aka Computer Science is fun, aka counter strike): ###The "Bill Gate case": This is about a little quote I hear a lot and that some really believe. ###The "Basement neckbeard case": This case covers a lot of things. Let's just stick to the "GF" sub-case. ###The "Unix Command case": Let's say that this is about the ones that see Unix as something that lays on the dark side of the moon. ###The "Stupid teacher case": This one is about the stupidest thing some teachers teach their students. ###The "Install Gentoo case": You can also add more examples to a previous case. Remember, the more content we have the merrier. |
