1) Go into your bios, reduce the shutdown temp limit to above the average temperature of where you live.
2) Install ram intensive crap; maybe like 5 antiviruses (macafee, avast, microsoft security essentials, kepersky, etc.)
3) Put small amounts of water in some parts of the motherboard.
4) Occasionally switch the voltage switch; the computer will not turn on when it is on the incorrect voltage.
5) Finally Reroute the voltage wiring (make sure it's unplugged when you do this) to make it appear as if it is normal, but really, changing that switch does nothing.
If your parents are anything like mine, sucker them for everything they've got; simply because you can, and it will make your life A LOT easier.
Don't encourage breaking a computer and don't say family is a stupid idea. You wouldn't have made it without one, buddy.
I wasn't encouraging it, I was just stating that I could assist with the task. And I don't think that "a group of people to assist, protect, and care for you while you develop" is a stupid idea; I just think that the current implementation of that idea is so extremely flawed and error-prone as to be ridiculous.
Agreed. So many see only the good side of families; if you come from a bad family, you can see how truly horrible it can be, especially for a child.
But really; half you idiots don't even know what life is like as an Indian american. For Christmas, my family leased my YOUNGER sister a $30,000 car + insurance, my mother a $2,500 pair of earing, my dad a $1,700 HD tv. I was promised $300 (also 18th birthday money for me). I received $260 THREE MONTHS LATER; I never got that $40. Why? Because they overspent and couldn't pay off the debt for the next 3 months.
It varies, but it is generally that Indian parents have a ton of money, and waste it on superficial things, sometimes giving little to their children because they had little as children living in Asia.
You guys cry "teenage angst" and "family is good." We do things that are unethical BECAUSE WE CAN. We don't care about things that won't or will hardly effect us in the long run. Slandering the idea of family and wasting money isn't good or bad, it just is. Eventually things will change for better or worse in the long run, but we don't care simply because we have that option.
Because we
can, some of us
will, which puts the consequences on
everyone with minor repercussions on the
individual.
None.
