All my stories are boring and deal with computers, but I post them here anyway.
It is winter and we're having a LAN. A friend of mine comes to late to get a place in the cellar where we're all sitting, he has to be placed in the corridor (along with someone else). We're also in a house of a non-smoker and have a lot of smokers in our group. So every few minutes, one or two of the smokers go outside, pollute the air and come back in again, all with snow outside and past my friends computer. His computer looks like this (2.2 MB, I couldn't be bothered to resize it), so before long, his gpu stops working. The reason: The smokers carried snow from outside into the corridor, and since his computer is always open, it landed on his gpu were it melted. For the rest of the LAN he was trying to convince us to say to the insurance company that one of us was responsible so that they'd pay. As it turns out, his GPU is still working today and that was not the last occasion he had water on it.
Some computer power supplies have, as you know, a switch where you can choose whether you use 110 Volts or 220. In the computer room of our school, a friend of mine wanted to know what happened if you changed this switch from the european 220 to 110. The computer was not even turned on, but there was a spark, a bang and a lot of smoke and power supply, mainboard and maybe even CPU were broken. We got new computers for our school a few months later, so it wasn't much of a problem, but it was fun to watch.
At a different LAN, Henky (the guy with the snow on his gpu) and another, particularly annoying guy (small child, we all call him Interp because he's a cheater) were trying to get something done on Interps computer. I forgot what, maybe it was a crack, maybe they were trying to get the network working, but anyway, after some time Henky decided that it was required to copy a registry key from his computer to Interp's. Somehow, he fucked it up and ended up copying his entire registry over to Interp's computer and inserted it there. The computer stopped working properly and after a reboot, interp couldn't even log in anymore.
Yet on another LAN (if you think LAN's are my only social activity, you're damn right) my iBook stood close to a Coca-Cola bottle and I was quite tired. Needless to say, suddenly my whole iBook was covered in cola. It wasn't all bad, I removed batterie and keyboard and let it dry and I'm using it right now to post this post, but I was quite scared when it happened.
