well, for what i know, you could try http://www.newegg.com/. Usually they have some good stuff there for relatively cheap to other places. Of course every now and then there might be some store that has some stuff on sale. You can click https://slickdeals.net/ or http://www.digitaldeals.net/ for those deals. I also found that sometime http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ have some nice stuff. I ordered a LX300 logitech wireless keyboard for 20 bux and came with a mouse. =PI actually think it's cheaper to buy a computer from dell than buidling a new one yourself, but if you are looking forward to extremely costumize your computer then building one is a good choice. If you are just looking for a decent computer, then i could recommand to buy one from dell. You could get one for 600 that comes with a 20" utrasharp widescreen LCD (cost around $450). That means the computer itself only cost 150. The computer is crappy either, it has a Pentium 4 processor at 2.8gbz, sometime the computer offers 1gb for the same price. You should check https://slickdeals.net/ every now and then to look for the deals. =P

Heh my school has blocked google images. Stupid losers looking up porn at school ruined it for everyone. x_x

lol, same thing for me, but you could get around that by going to https://www.google.co.jp/?gws_rd=ssl or other country based google search engine. For some reason, google.com image doesn't work, but my school didn't block yahoo image; which i found really stupid.

lol, i'm running a 700mhz duron. AHAH. .that's like the slowest in the AMD family. But luckly, i managed to have 800mb of ram on this machine. So it actually matches with what i normally do, evne though it sometimes lag when i try to watch movie which requires me to set whichever media player i'm using to high piority. Other than that.. i'm good with classic games like starcraft. ALl i need now is fast cable interent to download stuff. lolIt's a wasteful to go out a spend 500-800 every 3 years(average length of upgrading your computer - usually just buy a new one since computers are cheap now).

my best advice to you is; gain some confident. I seriously doubt that you will think making post asking advice on how to get a girlfriend will help. Probably as one of a desperate things that people do in their life. From my experience, there are many different type of people out there. I sometimes amaze how some of the most lame and biggest losers at my school are able to get a girlfriend. It's not that their girlfriend are hot or anything, but they will manage to find one that they like. I'm not calling you a loser, but there are girls for every type of guys. Making yourself different and unique from other people, but not so different that they think you're a complete freak. Just show your good things about yourself that most others don't have. Things that can impress a girl, not skills like putting a piece of noodles through your nose and make it coming out through your mouth. You can do that later on if you know the person well and they are comfortable with it. But it's not a good idea for the first impression.Impression counts, dress decent, but don't overdress or else people will say you are trying too hard. Even if you are the most desperate guys in the whole world, don't let anyone know. Don't doubt yourself and lower your self-esteem. No matter how lame your personality is, don't show it. Remember, first impression always count. For example, if you like anime and you're talking with a girl, don't start bring up anime subject. Always show your cool traits first; there is nothing wrong with liking anime. You just have to save those things later and slowly show your not-so-cool traits later. You just need to get a hold of her heart, then no matter how nerdy some of your hoobies are, she won't mind.All girls are different, learn alittle bit about them before making your moves. There are a lot of things that impress one girl but not the other. Thus, you need to adjust the way your talk to them, adjust the way you present yourself, adjust your view in opinion.I know this might sound like you're not being yourself at all. But adjusting your self is still being yourself. You just need to know what you should say and shouldn't say to different girl. Some get offended off a trivial matter, some doesn't even care if you just insulted their family up to their 18th generation of their family history.Make jokes, mean jokes would be fine, but make sure she knows that your joking. Always pull off every joke you made with a big laugh so that she knows it's a joke and not get offended. THere are such cases where you and she knows that it's a joke, but she still get offended. So limit your joke to a certain level. Like i said before, find out what kind of person she is, and adjust your level of joking. The meaner your relationship with that person is, the more comfortable you're with them and vice versa. In most case, i think girls would feel comfortable in this way. If you are always too prolite to them or keep compliment everything she does, the more uncomfortable she would probably get and would think you're just lie your **bottom** off even if you didn't intentionally.If you are feeling like you always have to impress her, then most likely you're not very confident or comfortable with her. In most case, this kind of relationships don't work out as well. You might not conciously feel it, but you might have felt inferior to her. When dating girls, make sure you date her with your pride too. I know this is wrong to say, but to gain confident, you need to always make that person feel like they are the one that likes you more than you like them. Or else you will never get over with the inferity thing. LIke most people stated above, if you are shy, try to practice on talking to more girls. Just make some female friends and talk to them. Tell them jokes, adjust the way you talk to them, etc. Best thing to get your self-esteem up is to basically try to flirt with all your female friends and try to make them at least have a good impresson on you or to make them realize that you can be cute/manly and would consisder dating you. Of course, this would be good too since if there are ever a girl that ever think you're hot or cute, your friend then naturally will say good things about you, because they know you so well.But of course there are downfall to that, making too many female friends can sometimes be bad because: first, they might thing you're around with so many girls and even though they like you, it would hard for them to compete with the girls that you're around with; second, your female friends might naturally think you're more on the feminie than muscline; thrid, people might infer that you are trying too hard to impress all the girls and don't have times for making guys friends. IF you care too much about looks, you need to accept the fact that there arn't that many good looking girls out there that can match your personality. Don't look down on yourself because everyone around you always seem to be in a reatlionship. In contrast of that, don't be too arrogant or overly confident. THis will just make the girls hate you and think you're a *BLEEP*. LOL, it amazes me how i could sit and type all these things. Lol, I guess you could call all of these as a theory because i have never really proven it, yet. And one last bit of advice, if you're in high school or during your last year as a junior high student, you might want to start looking for a more manly hobby or anime show to watch than... pokemon (your avatar). It might seem to childish.Lol, i just noticed, ahaha. .this set of theories are actually dating girls that imagine their boyfriend as a cool and manly guy. I guess there would have to be a completely different set of theories for girls that prefer cuteness over coolness, but sadly, i don't think there are that many girls that prefer cuteness over coolness.You can be cool and have a little of childishness too.AHAHA. anyways, good look on your quest of getting a girlfriend.

It is far into the future until human are able to genetically modify human genes. There are alot of moral controversy between religous and belief groups. People will not allow anyone to play as god and great a super intelligent human being.I don't believe in intelligent related to genetic at all, but I believe is the event that occur on that person and how he or she is raised that make a person that is smart. Intelligents can't really measure how much thing a person achieved in his or her life. For example, Einstein just happened to come up with a relativity theroy. Some people that could be consisted as the same level of intelligent him, might not be able to come up with a similar theory. It's all depends on lucks and chances. Everyone have a relativly same size of brain, but why are there some that are smarter than others. It's all depends on what that person went through when they are a child. We all know that it is easier for a child brain to learn things than a matured brain. The older your brain becomes, the less things it can precieve. Scientists say that as an average human being, we only use 5% of our brain. This 5% is not how fast your brain can process, it's how much knowledge you have gained in your life. I guess what i'm saying is that, there are not many geniuses, but there are lot of hard working people out there. True intelligent are rare, just ask yourself, how many people that you know are a true genius?

i dont' know if this will make you better, but i remember reading from https://slickdeals.net/ that ..if you have a 6mbits or 8 mbits.. you could try to call in a get a free upgrade to 16 mbits. you can try to search their form for the post. lol

lol, it seems like you are a fan of onegai sensai (please teacher). It was the first non-dubbed anime i ever watched and later became addicted.. lolUh... from a non expert comment, i think you should lighten the background alittle bit because it's taking all the attention away from the teacher herself. and i do agree that the font is pretty bad. .lol

lol. i'm guessing you're talking about parallel universes. The idea of multiple universes is not even a theory, it's just a myth. Only ideas that can be proven with evidence or to have a way to test it can be called a theory. Ideas that cannot be proven is not consisted as theory. Since you are talking about multiple universes, then i'm pretty sure you have at leasted heard of the string theory. The string theory isn't really a theory, since there are no way to prove it. I don't exactly know what is the different between a wormhole and a black hole, other then that wormholes can be vary in sizes. People believe that black hole can be used for time travel. The reason why people think of it this way is that, the gravitational pull of the blackhole is so intense that lights cannot escape from it (therefore it is called a blackhole, since you cannot see it). Scientists treat time the same way as they treat waves. The stronger the gravity, the better it can bend and pull the wave. Imagine time being pull and bend, time would get longer which means to outsider observers ... you are SLOWING DOWN EXTREMELY, but to your observation, time travel normally. So if you were sucked in by a blackhole, people will see (if the light can escape from the gravity) that you have a slow and painfull death, but to you.. the instants that you were sucked in.. you were crumpled up into a tiny little dusts. My point is, it might be possible to slow down or acclerate time, but you cannot go back/reverse into time. It just seem illogical. It's pretty hard to imagine of a multiple unverises because as we know it, our universe is infinite. So the idea of multiple unverises is like 2 times infinity.

lol.. .. your computer is 6 years old?.. ahaha.. i thought mine was 6 years old ( i got this from a friend.).. it's a duron 700mhz. lolThe only things you can really upgrade on your current computer are-more hard drive space (you can upgrade to SATA if you want by buying a PCI SATA adapter)-more ram (if you have enough space) but usually is not recommanded since older computer tense to use slower ram and it would be a waste of money to go out and buy more slow ram for your computer.-Better graphic card (the graphic grade will use it's 100 percent protential only if you have enough CPU power and ram to support it, you might need to check what kind of AGP slot you have or if you have the new PCI slots that allows much faster data to travel through).-You can also upgrade other stuff like remote control for you computer (window xp media edition)LOL.. but if you are willing to spend all the money on ram, graphic card, and hdd... that would cost a few hundreds dollars. You can buy a new computer for alittle bit more, even though the graphic card might not be as good, but the overall speed should still be faster than your current computer upgraded.I would recommand to get dell. you could check https://slickdeals.net/ for deals on dells computer. I once saw a deal for a dell Pentium 4 2.8ghz that comes with 512 ddr ram, and it comes with a 20 inches widescreen LCD monitor for just only around $650. The 20 inches widescreen itself cost around 400 dollars excluding taxes. So you are bascially paying 250 for a 2.8ghz computer.

does these kind of free advertising service actually work effiecently? I mean, who would willing to put the ads on their site if it doesn't bring them any benefit? There might be a few, but that still wouldn't help much.ehh.. i have never tried advertising my site because it's too much hassle.. and i don't know if i'm ready to open the site up for public. I still feel strange because my form was unintentionally designed for friends and family, but i guess i need to start keeping it at a public level.

hmm.. bafflohelp.. so are you saying that you can config the router to be used as a modem to connect to a internet using a cat 5 cable? well, one question. .if you have a router ... why not just use the old and simple way to cconnect to the internet with one computer and share them. Unless electricity is your concern. well.. bafflohelp, hope you could find the article, i would like to try and do that too.

i believe religons where once created to run socieity because they were lacked with the knownledge that we have now. They did not know what made the earth. For example, they thought everything was made of four elements which are; fire, earth, wind, and water if i didn't make any mistake. This just show how people used their enviorment to explain things that they did not know and unable to reach the truth. Religon might also help one to become a better person, when as time passes by, religon evolved into something more scary. For example, (i don't mean to offend anyone but this is just my thoughts) musslum were taught that if they are willing to die for their believe, then when they die, there will be a place higher than heave reserved for them. I don't know about you people, but to me, i think his is a way people in higher rank manipulate other people to do things. I'm not saying that reglion are bad, but it gets worse when people are so serious about the exisitance of a more superior being that is illogical. They trys to convert other into believing their god does exist and if you don't beleive in it, then you will go to hell. They also tried to argue about things that can be backed up with evidences. I once had a debate with a friend of mine, and he was a christain. He directly insulted me by saying i'm so GOD DAMN CLOSE MINDED for not believing in god. That just made me pissed even know. He is the one that is unwilling to except something that have at least some evidence existed, but instead he refused to and called me close minded. To me, about god exisitance is way out of my mine. For most subject, i might have a 100 percents certain, but for this , the answer is very obivous. Superior being(s) doesn't exist.I'm sorry if i offended any of you, but that is what i believed in. There are no point of making this kind of debate topic because it's either one way or the other. This is not like debate over abortion or legallize illegal immigration. This is a subject that either you believe in or not. There is no way to prove that god does exist because as far as i know, no one EVER MADE CONTACT WITH HIM or HER. Even if some might, you cannot take their words as facts.

Lol, has anyone got the popup yet? lol.. I'm also curious about this, lol, if microsoft could send out a new patch that allows it to detect if the windows operating system is geniune or not, why can't they somehow report these findings back to microsoft and get the person procescuted for owning an illegal copy of windows?Well, it's not like i want them to do this because then there are tons of people that runs on priating windows wheather they know it or not. Also, what i found really funny is my computer repair teacher (i had to take this class since there wasn't any room in any other class) has a stack of copied cd of Windows 98. LOL... By they way, how can they tell if the window version is genuine or not? Doesn't it depends on the serial number that you entered when installing window? Well, from what i know, fake generated serial number doesn't work with updates. So if you used a fake number, you are not allow to update your window version. My real question here is, how can they implement the new patch that causes the popup or nagging the users of their guilts? And if the priated windows users used a geniune serial number, then wouldn't patch thing the window version is geniune?Well, i guess it's time for everyone to learn how to use linx and avoid the troubles. =P

Isn't that great when everyone discovered the beauty of proxies... now that so many people are using proxies to access blocked website at school such as MYSPACE, the school is also blocking every single proxy sites that students used to access. If i where to search for cgi proxy hosting site .. .all of them are blocked.. even the offical site for cgi proxy is being blocked. I tried to do my fellow friends a favor by hosting proxy on my site at first.. .then after i found out it was against the TOS .. and go suspended for.. I learned my lesson the hard way. Well.. thanks Whyme for the list of the proxies.. I hope the site isn't blocked by my school firewall. .I can't even check anything with torrent.php. It's not like i'm going to stay in school just to download movies with bittorent.. they had to be stupid and block that too.. PS. Does anyone know any free hosting site that allows proxies to be installed on their site?. I really want to host a proxy site.. .(without paying for hosting myself). It would be great if there are proxy clients that allow users to LOGIN in order to use the proxy, to prevent server resource usage..

lol, i live in washington and this is the first time i have heard of this. .LOL... American isn't really that wealthy, there are still some people that are dirt poor. More people imigrating mean more job will be needed. Our economy is already bad after september 11, and there are still people jobless.Trying to make illegal imigration legal is outrageous.. lol.. No why the congress will approve of this. lol. Those people that are boycotting will probably get kick out of the country after finding out they are too an illegal imigratant. lol

lol, if i remembered correctly, there are alot of posts about blue-ray disc on this forum.

anyways... blue ray disc are already released to bussinesses. I remember my trip to washington state university, they showed us their news room and the guy was telling us how they are using blue ray disc instead of DVD now. He actually let us into the control room and i got to see the disc. He told me that the disc is around $50 for a 30gb or 50gb each, i forgot. And the machine is that used to play the disc is about 15,000. But i'm sure the home blue ray disc version is much cheaper than that.

Here is a picture i took of the blue ray disc during my trip.

WOW, so many of you are using the metric system. It's werid for me, as an american, for people to talking in Kilo grams and meters for height. We use feet and inches, and of course pounds. LoL. LOL, it says i have a healthy weight, but my doctor said I'm 20 pounds underweight. Well, that was actually a year ago, but my weight still stays the same and didn't grow that much.Back to the main topic, i have nothing against fat people. I only have problem with the way people act, not their physical structure. Well, different story when comes to girls that i would date. LOL. PS. I wonder why they had you entering your birthday.

lol.. same things happend to me when i first got my hosting.. I complained so much that .. .i think one of the admin added me to his "annoying members list".. .lol.. j/k.. But yeah..... when that happened to me, for some reason. .some ISP can't load it. .because sometime i can't even access my site for some reason.. while my friends said it was perfectly fine for them..After the while i guess it fixes itself .. lol.. might take a while though.

well..... internet explore is still mainly used by many people today. .So many things are compatible with internet explore, but ever since firefox gets more popular, alot of things are now programed to be compatible with it.I like using opera the best because it saves all the last page you were on so yo ucould come back later and continue your work. Only if things are more compatible with opera.. because sometime i have to switch over to firefox or internet explore to get a page to load correctly.Well, maybe the newest version of internet explore, internet explore 7.0 will be better and not so many security flaws. And of course.. they are having tabs windows now.. so you won't have so many things open... BUT FOR NOW.. i'm all with you guys. .INTERNET EXPLORE SUCKS!!!!!!

i used flashget. .but what annoys me the most is the advertisement on it. But then you could find serial number for it easily. But i mostly just use getright because it doesn't have ads or anything and doesn't require you to purchase their program. Getright is consisted as a nagging ware.... but it does not disable any functions like some other program do.... actually.. i think they do try to limit. .because i could never use the maxium number of connections that the program supports.

i'm totally for stem cell research. Sure.. many christians say it's against moral and everything. .and we, as human, shouldn't play god, but if god really did created us and gave us the intelligent to do something like that.. then use it. I just don't know what is wrong with playing god. It's not like we are going out and kill bunch of humans. All we are doing is just trying to clone humans... or even just a part of a human body to help people. To me, there isn't anything wrong with that. FOr most people, they don't know the feeling of those that have dieases and knowing stem cell research is their only way to escape death. Those people that are saying stem cell research or like cloning is wrong, i really think they are hypocrites. If they themselves have the disease, i'm sure 9 out of those 10 that said it is wrong and all those crap, will have a different view of that. If we all are stuck with these kind of moral thinking, our human race will never get more advance.

after you redirected your domain to ns.trap17.com, did you set that redirection as default? Because at first when i got a free .be domain.. i had the same problem. .Just check your domain host command panel thing..

lol. thanks mame nut.. .i never knew that. .AHA. .But then. .i don't think comcast is very strict about that. .I know someone that used to or still is running a ragnorok server on their laptop and most likely he has comcast. Beside.. i don't think they would want to lose a member if it doesn't endanger the company's profits. I don't think creating a basic server is much of a problem. but i'm more concern about the security of the server. Since i'm not a computer scenice graudate or whatever.. i don't know much about server security. .I would feel insecure hosting a server with bad security.Also another problem i encountered.. when i installed server side script like php.. .it doesn't work for some reason. I remember doing it before and it worked. .but after i formated my computer... and reinstalled apache and php ... it doesn't work. The only thing i could access is html files. Any idea how i could fix this?Since i know some people that are entering university.. i could maybe ask them to leave my computer in their dorm room so i could remote access it and run a server where i could upload videos and stuff to share. =P

you should observe more about her first. There are alot of things that cannot be connected through the "internet". As good as the internet is it cannot show a person's complete personality. Don't rush through things... lol..like one of the person said above.. she's a minor. .AAHAHA so don't do anything funny... lolshe must be really brave... to go and meet a strange guy (as in never met in real life). HAHAH. . I know some girl her age is still too scare to take the city bus to the mall. .which i found funny.

you might want to set your jumpers settings. If two drives are both set to master at the same time might cause a computer to freezes. And like everyone else.. you should try to use a different xp cd. It would be more helpful if you could tell us the complete sorry.. like When did you installed linux? Was it before attempting to install windows on your computer or after? It might helps it predicting the problems.
