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.
Heh, Nexas. It’s alright, it’s stuff best not talked about in the future.
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!
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 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?
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!
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.
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.
STOP! My sister got a virus on her computer a while back and it never recovered. It ended up crashing for good. It was a box that came up, with the logo, saying it found a virus and wanted to do a scan. Even if you press no it downloaded onto your computer and takes control of EVERYTHING. Watch it!
Thank you very much for the advice, everyone! I’ll download that AVG Anit-Virus program as you suggested, Bryko614, and I’ll be careful, Rac_Rules. Hopefully, this will turn out to be nothing more than a false alarm.
For those with virus trouble…
I reccommend Norton Internet Security. Works wonders. Can scan your files, take out the viruses, guard against those from the next…and even informs you of when you are attacked and takes the action of blocking it with your confirmation. Yeah, probably a little expensive, but hey.,…Nort’s no fool
It’s alright, it’s stuff best not talked about in the future.
