DRTFA but we need a Vermont tag, if it's the story I'm thinking of.

What a douche.

Saddest part? It was a desktop.

jspenguin		2012-09-11 09:56:33 PM

Maybe it got infected with that "stinky cheese" virus Weird Al warned me about.

SSD ftw

AverageAmericanGuy		2012-09-11 10:37:11 PM

A MacBook would have survived the fall. The aluminum case and SSD drive are extremely shock-tolerant. Maybe the screen would need to be replaced, but all in all, Macs have much better build quality than Winblows PCs.

"it took about half an hour for rescuers to find him and an hour to execute the rescue."

That's hardcore, he has to jerk off to his porn on railroad tracks.

"Police said Lamore, who had been drinking-"

No shiat

Super Chronic		2012-09-11 10:49:47 PM

So there I was, drinking, walking by the railroad tracks along a 100-foot cliff near a power dam; naturally, I had my trusty laptop with me...

JJRRutgers		2012-09-11 10:52:32 PM

To the roof with the laptop I did go
over to the edge and I gave it a throw,
and when it arrived seven stories below
it really made a mighty fine sound-o, sound-o, sound-o,
and when it arrived seven stories below,
it really made a mighty fine sound-O.

Bulky and hard to carry a long with a 20" CRT screen.

Not to mention 100 lbs of batteries

I would have done that for my computer before it died.

/I don't have kiddie pr0n on my computer...

jeaux65		2012-09-11 11:41:05 PM

Subby, was that a "Stand By Me" reference?

fisker		2012-09-11 11:42:13 PM

Did the computer make it?

desertgeek		2012-09-11 11:45:44 PM

I want to come in here and say that this guy clearly went to the Patrick Norton school of computer disposal, but I can't find the clip of him tossing a desktop tower off a cliff.

/I am disappoint

Looking for Darryl Hannah in a men's shelter is a mug's game, Jim.

UsikFark		2012-09-11 11:51:38 PM

Aluminum unibody macs can get dented pretty easily, especially around the Ethernet jack and in the corners. A good drop on the corner warps the frame enough that the bottom plate won't fit flush, a problem considering 7/10 of the screws are 2mm long. The aluminum seems to be about the same grade as a trinket anodized keychain, so in no way was the plastic-to-aluminum change meant to make them rugged.

If you want a tough computer, lug around DIP chips in a re-entry capsule.

That would be lame. Have you ever seen that guy act?

I can fix that laptop, but your leg is farked.

Buffet		2012-09-12 12:49:42 AM

Sounds like somebody has shiat for brains.

ladyfortuna		2012-09-12 01:10:49 AM

If it had the sole remaining hard drive with my writing on it, I'd go over the edge trying to retrieve it too. That's about the only thing though.

Well, maybe my Skyrim saves...

FTA: Most popular selections.... Pregnant Celebrities of 2012 (slideshow)

Are there really people aching to see slideshows of pregnant women?

DjangoStonereaver		2012-09-12 07:12:49 AM

I don't know what's stupider: this drunk guy trying to retrieve his computer, or that lame-ass pop-up
blocker-avoiding interstitial ad that came up when I first brought up the page.
