Computer Help

Several scenarios where a nerdy computer geek gets some:

~ popular cheerleader flashes some down blouse at the nerdy geek to entice him to do her senior programming project. Dies he install a secret video cam to watch her change? Or less creepy, does she just accidentally rub against him as he shows her how to demo the program, notices his erection is HUGE....

~ Female relative gets a virus, when her geeky relative debugs it, he discovers her porn...

~ at work, every staffer wants the newest upgrade first. They get increasingly competitive for the attention of the IT guy...

~ Hubby invites his office IT guy over to set up new system at home. Wife is sunbathing topless just outside the window....

~ what if the virginal geek is female instead of male?

Oh no, no, no! Nobody in their right mind wants the newest upgrade - it won't work first time, either because it has a bug in it, or because the IT guy puts it in wrong.

Actually snoopy is right, the only people who get the just released version of windows are game designers and computer hardware people. Course they actually get the before it's released but this is what we will release make stuff that works with it version.

After that though companies go back and forth on which version they will use. Generally they wait for a while to make sure the thing works before converting. They might actually listen to their IT people about it. Most likely for the most part they wait for the price to go down.

I agree about the upgrade phobia, but that is easily fixed in the story concept. Instead of an upgrade, make it a new program (new to the company, but tried and true in the marketplace) that everyone wants as soon as possible.

You can purchase a subscription to Microsoft and get all their software and all the "beta" versions. Me personally I think anything under a 2.0 product number from Microsoft is still a "Beta" version as it takes Microsoft three attempts to make a product run.

just here to fill people in with useless info

I hear Windoes 8 is coming out sometime in the next couple of months. After the Vista debacle, I won't be touching any Windows upgrades for at least 6 months after release, so I can gauge the public's reception.

A couple other ideas:

~ PC nerd puts a virus on the girl's PC so that it flashes subliminal messages to her, eventually turning her into a submissive love slave.

~ Nerd at school overhears head cheerleader complaining to her friends that she really needs some cash for something, but her parents won't give it to her. So he sends her a "spam" masquerading as some 2-bit webcam porn company casting for new models. It catches her attention with promises of quick cash. So she signs on to the company's website (which the nerd has mocked up himself) and records a couple of demo stripteases. Little does she know, everything she sends off is just streaming directly to the nerd, for his own private enjoyment.

I don't think it is possible to flash subliminals on a computer screen - it simply takes too long to put a picture up. In a cinema at 25 frames a second some people can 'see' single frame inserts, at least as flickering on the screen. While a monitor refreshes at 75 frames/second the time taken by the computer to change over a million 24-bit pixels is much slower than that.

Then how is it that games don't seem "jerky" on decent PCs? Surely they must be rendering complex images too fast for people to be aware of the transitions? And rendering a simple block of text wouldn't take any more processing power than what would be needed for pacman, which was rendering smoothly on PCs 20 years ago.
