JIN!


Was that the guy who had to take his comp apart without gloves while the spiders infested it and he had to throw one of the panels in the tub?

That was an awesome story...

Yeah, that stuff doesn't effect them. Try anything with bleach and chemicals that you can't pronounce.

I remember that pic of SNAKES IN A COMPUTER.

Or one snake.

Anyhow, I don't recall any computer-related insect stories.

But here's a classic thread.

Bugs never get huge in the UK particularly. We did have this one time when a stag beetle flew into the car and landed on my sister in the back and I had the job of getting the nasty bugger out while my sis went into total panic mode. They bite!

Inch and a half is big for anywhere, Kirbs. :eek:

The only spider/PC story I have is when a little spider dropped off the ceiling and landed on the keyboard. Scared the crap out of me. Then he crawled under the keys. I ended up taking the thing apart to get the freak out of there.

I've also heard of mice making nests in PC cases that don't have all the slots covered in the back.

There was also this one time on the toilet when a spider nearly crawled in my ***.

I just found out that my cpu is running literally at less than half speed becasue my power supply isn't powerful enough.

Spend 300+ on a cpu, to spend a hundred or so more on a new psu to power it.

Only 80 or so if you go Antec or Thermaltake.

My most horrific story is when my power supply short circuited and friends everything down to the hard disk.

Biggest bug I've seen was some random spider, I think it was a wood spider. Wouldn't fit under a pint glass.
nope.

From what I saw on that thread, I didn't know Checksum was banned. I thought he just left.

One time, I got these bugs trapped UNDER the glass of my monitor.

But actually, that was someone else, so I forgot how I got them out.

gives new meaning to the phrase "debugging a computer"
If you choose not to decide, you still have made a choice.

Wasn't that the original meaning?

hehe, well sort of.

Basically, cockroaches would get in and chew on wires and circuitry, so they had to go in every morning and spray, hence the term "debugging"

Actually it came from removing a moth from a computer, the first ever "bug". Sometime in the 1950s.

I remember Jin's story. I can't think of a more horrific thing to happen to a computer. My computer is in my bedroom, and I could never sleep in my bed again if that happened to me.

My room is STILL too much of a biohazard. Seriously. The UN sends teams every now and again. Last time we lost three Spaniards and a Frenchman.

1945, actually. Would you believe they still have the report filed away somewhere, with the moth taped to it? Crazy stuff.

That happened to me once, I was in the b-room doing the whole business, get up and see a nice live spider where I was sitting. After almost breaking the toilet seat stomping at it, I screamed like a little girl and I still haven't gone for a job in that bathroom to this day. And this must have happened back when I was 11 or 12. lol

I'm 21 now. :(
