The Advice Board

It’s not just anger, you know. With TSS’s case, it was the belief of the existence of hypocrisy, a trait that could be almost undetectable.

Though I believe that TSS had his good intentions when he wrote that post and when he locked that thread, he didn’t really write it in an effective manner such that no ill-thoughts might be suggested or otherwise, so, it’s really a two-way thing if you want to blame someone and, you, Rac_Rules, really seemed like you really want to blame someone.

Rather than lecturing, try helping and be productive. Two wrongs doesn’t make one right, so if you Pixar Planet forums members are decent enough, try to repair, not destroy by sprouting more flames with your sparks of lectures. It’s lectures like these that created the first flame war in the first place. Heck, it’s the thing that creates any war.

And yes, I know I am lecturing, but just because I am wrong, doesn’t mean you have to be indecent as well. Treat this as a test to you, if you will. Try and cease the flames from building up using your saintly personality, if you have one.

Next constructive criticism, please.

I’m sorry if you felt I was blaming you, I wasn’t. It’s just, I felt the only reason you would apologize for it was because it was bad :laughing: . If someone sends you something you want to reply to, make sure you reply to them in a way that you don’t feel the need to do so. Like you said, two wrongs don’t make a right. I don’t know what TSS said, but that really doesn’t matter.

I’m writing these things because I want to help you, not because I want to lecture you. Unfortunately, the road to reconstruction is rarely an easy one. Great, now I’m starting to sound like a fortune cookie. Anyway, I have anger problems sometimes too. But in the end, only ourselves can truly help us.

Well, I am sorry, again, but I will have to insert yet another… ‘excuse,’ if you will, for my manner of reacting towards your comments. My eyes had been burnt by too many flames in my life (regardless of their starter), so much so that I could no longer differentiate what is filled with ill-thoughts and what is not. Sociopathic, if you will. It might seem like an excuse for me to escape whatever nonconstructive punishment you people might have in mind, but if you would mind your words and really post with the best of intentions, there really isn’t any need for such excuses to be recognized.

Again, it’s not really an issue of anger to be considered here. Anger is merely triggered by thoughts triggered by different acts of people. If one is truly decent, even faced with a tempered soul, he or she would be kind enough to calm the creature down and turn it into something great. Now that is constructive, and that is how world peace could be achieved.

That I can understand, and relate to. I am the youngest of four, and all of my sisters where great at what they do. What does that mean? Expectations. I am really mad at my dad these days, I just feel that he blows the smallest thing out of proportion. When I’m mad at him, I can really be a real jerk to my friends. It’s worse with people that don’t know me that well, since they are pushed away before they can get to know me. I also have the tendency to want to get back at people who insult me, and I can come up with some really catty comments.

And I feel we all get a little carried away with what I call the “freedom of the keypad”, since we aren’t afraid to say things that we would never say in person (If you have seen some of my comments on political boards, you’ll know what I mean) because we don’t know the person, they don’t know us. They can’t really do anything to us, contrary to what people can do if we say them in person, physically and socially.

Well, it’s good that you’ve apologised, WBoon. Just read through stuff before you post it, because then that gives you an oppurtunity to change things before hitting the ‘send’ button, if you see what I mean. Then you won’t do anything that you regret. It’s something I always do, just to make sure that I’m saying what I want to say, as opposed to just saying how I’m feeling at the time.

looks up I have NO idea what they’re talking about 0_0

Heh, Nexas. :slight_smile: It’s alright, it’s stuff best not talked about in the future. :wink:

Looking back at this really brings back some memories. I know that my post here is no longer involving the intention of seeking advices, but I would just like to say that it’s really great how I’m still able to thrive in a community for the first time after making mistakes as grave as such.

Well, I’ve been given a lot of opportunities to change before in other forums as I have been given here, so I’m not going to neglect this one. I’ve created a lot of significant damage, but I hope I’m given time to repent and, if possible, repair.

Thanks, guys (and gals), for being supportive once again. Hope I can make a difference to this community positively this time.

No more sulking, pouting and rude behaviors. WBoon is back in the Pixar fandom!

Need some help 4 a date…

Best Date movie out now? Ideas?

Twilight would be good, of you can stand to sit through it. Australia, I haven’t seen it but I know it has action and romance so neither of you would be totally bored. If you wouldn’t mind and your date wouldn’t mind, Bolt might be a fun, casual movie if you guys are more of friends then an item.

i’ll probably do bolt cuz i hated twilight. i thought it was the worst film i’ve ever seen. but i’ll suggest australia.

I need advice. I broke my wireless usb tab thingy last night and need a new one to get on the internet (I’m on my sister’s laptop right now). A new one would cost $40, admittedly not that much but still a good sum of cash. Now, my sister will be getting a new laptop from her college in atleast two months from now, so I would get this one that has built in wireless. I have two choices:

-Buy a wirless thing for $40 until I get this computer.

or

-Wait months internetless for this one.

I could do the latter, but my sister is a busy lady (homework) and spends most of her home hours working. My only solid hours available with this one would be 4-7 when she’s doing her sport. I have my own work and worry this may not be enough. What should I do? I don’t want to spend all that money for only a few months of internet, but need the internet for my schoolwork.

I’d say just try out using your sis’s laptop for for a few days or a week, and see if it works out alright. If not, I’d out the $40 down. You ulitmately have to decide if internet access is worth the $40, and only you can know that. Just my two cents, hope it helpds.

$800US? NO. Those files are still saveable, and $800 is too much. They are RIPPING YOU OFF.

You need to reinstall windows, which will cost $100 at most, but as i said, you need to save those files first. Could you give me some info about this $800 scanner? I’ll be able to tell if its a scam or not.

I need technical information more than advice,at the moment, but I don’t want to create another thread.

My computer is suffering an overheating problem. I don’t want to replace it, and I don’t want to take it apart. Anyone know a cheap but effective solution?

Is it a laptop? Because they sell cooling fans for laptops. Otherwise I don’t know what to tell you. Hope you find a solution!

'Ello everyone,

Well, I was just browsing the internet on my dad’s computer, as usual, when suddenly a new window popped up stating that the computer had contracted the “Trojan” virus. I’ve heard about this thing, and I take it that it’s not good. My dad’s computer is a MacIntosh OS X version 10.4.11, and it’s remained in excellent condition for years. Now that I’ve gotten a warning stating that the system is currently harnessing a virus, I’d like to get rid of the perpetrator as soon as possible.

My question is this: How do you access the C and D drives on a MacIntosh?

I cannot, for the life of me, figure out where the panel for accessing these drives is located, no matter what I do. When I got that message stating that a virus had been contracted, the window which showcased these drives popped up automatically, and now I can’t figure out how to get them back up again. I never have…

If it makes any difference, I went to the Live Journal website when this warning materialized onto the screen; however, when I deleted the “warning” box/window, I went back to Live Journal to see if it was the cause of the virus… and nothing happened, so I guess it wasn’t the website that did any damage.

Help?

Thanks in advance to anyone who can provide me with any assistance! :smiley:

Mitch: Are you sure it wasn’t just a fake pop-up ad? If it were real, it would’ve had the logo of a reliable virus-protection software that you have. If not, it’s nothing to worry about.

Bryko614 - It sure didn’t seem like an advertisement. It had the official Spyware logo, for one thing…

– Mitch

Hmm. Well, if it was in an Internet window, then you’re probably safe.

If you’re very worried, download AVG Anti-Virus and do a scan. It’s the virus scanner I use, and it’s better than a lot of commercial ones. If it says there’s nothing, I wouldn’t be too worried.

Take Bryko’s advice and use AVG Anti-Virus.
