I was trying to organize the forest of wires that are around my desk, and I found a wire I didn't recognize. (Yes. I recognize every wire by color, thickness, and texture. Yes. That is sad.) I was like, "Hm. Maybe it's the spare phone line."

So I pulled to get it out.

Hm. It was stuck in the wirehole pretty good.

So I pulled harder.

And harder.

And harder.

Until I heard something "Click!". Apparently, I ripped one of the cords inside the wire that led to the power source of my computer. < <;;

Hmm, in an attempt to free up space on the hard drive, my younger brother decided to delete everything on c:/ including program files, windows etc
Now the computer sits in the corner gathering dust. :P

I presume he went into the local disk and deleted most of the folders one by one. Not all the stuff went I suppose since files would be in use, but teh ones that boot up etc.... all gone. After a few restarts, he came and told me it 'wasnt working'.

Eitherways given up hope on fixing that xD

It depends on what kind of copy and CD key you use.

I think they do care, but they're getting awfully lazy. I know of several hilarious key-related issues regarding Vista. :P

There is always an issue with Vista. *punches*

Stupidest thing had to be trying to get a hold of an Adobe Photoshop keygen, and instead of using my friend's that works, I looked it up online. I downloaded it, and it was an .exe file. Usually I'd be like, "Ahhh, virus." but today I was feeling like an idiot.

So I clicked it. And my computer shut down.
It's fixed now, but boy, my friends in my CS major rode me about it for a while. xD

I had this extremely weird and stupid ambition of installing Virtual PC (a Windows emulation app for Mac OS X), and so I did. Little did I know that I had to stay up until 2AM to get it working due to the install being incredibly slow.

The next day I realized I've lost like 15 GB of memory due to the app and the installation, and since it was incredibly slow, I just removed it, but my God did it take quite the time removing all the system files and getting rid of all the stupid garbage. >_>

VIRUSES!!! I can't believe how many times I've had to re-install this PC with the number of viruses I get. I've had all the major viruses that target Windows, like that blaster worm thing made by that teenager a few years back.
