  1. I got a laptop for graduation and the internet wouldn't work.I take it to the store where I got it from.They say: "yes, the internet does work"I say "um, no it doesn't.""It does though.""But when I called you guys, the guy on the phone said that he sees this problem all the time and he had a software that could correct the connectivity problems"They say "Um, I've never seen this happen and we don't have that software""But he made a specific point of mentioning, 3 times if I remember correctly, that he was so tired of people coming in with ACER laptops with connectivity problems""Um, yeah who was this?" they askI said "I don't know. I didn't ask his name.""Well yeah, the internet does work.""No it doesn't." I say"Yeah it does.""Nuh-Uh!""Uh-huh!""Liar!""I bet you didn't even buy that laptop, I bet you stole it!"I was furious "Last time I buy one here!""Well that's true, because there's a LIFETIME WARRANTY""YOU'RE A LIFETIME WARRANTY, ******~!!!!I was asked to leave.
  2. I like all of the Age of Empires games. I had most fun with the Conquerors expansion pack. The campaigns are entertaining.Another good game similar to Age of Empires is Empire Earth.
  3. I like playing Texas hold em, it's much better and more fun playing than regular poker.
  4. You know, I've decided that one of the most irritating things is when babies start crying/screaming during the movies or in church. Especially if the parents don't leave, but sit there trying to make them stop. Please try and make them stop OUTSIDE, because now on top of your screaming child, I have to hear you make cutesy noises to make it shut up.Can't people find someone to watch a kid for like two hours? And if you can't, I don't know, it might be nice if you didn't go to the movies that night. Church is a bit more understandable. I know parents need time to do their own thing and all, but it seems to defeat the purpose if they bring the baby along, and it's highly annoying.
  5. The media is just attacking him in order to make this a huge thing for themselves.The media has been calling Mel Gibson an Anti-Semite just because he made The Passion and now they want to make this into a huge big deal.They are like vampires and live only off other peoples "blood" and suck everything no matter how much they embellish it just so they can get attention.
  6. Nike sells all over the world and I don't think there is any other brand that can compete with it. I once heard that from seeing all the ads in your life, a person sees the Nike logo more times then he sees his mothers face.
  7. I'm interested in getting a laptop.But I don't know much about them.Is a laptop as fast as a normal computer or is it a bit slower?I want to use the laptop for gaming, and for a fast internet connection. I have cable internet so do I just connect the cable to the laptop for internet access?And can anyone recommend any good laptops online?thanks again
  8. I always wondered what is it with people and gift cards?Most people seem to prefer shopping with a gift card to a store rather then with plain money. Let's say you payed $50 to get a $50 gift card to store A. Now why would you buy a gift card restricting you to only store A when you can just use plain money and be able to shop at plenty of other stores?I don't seem to get why people get gift cards. If it was a discount then I can understand that, such as if you pay $40 you can get a $50 gift card to store A. But that's not the case.
  9. When I cut a chunk of the skin off my finger. I work at the deli and slice salami with those machine slicers. I was there for about 2 hours and this lady asked me to cut a pound of minced ham and I put the ham in the slicer and turned on the machine. I started cutting, but then I saw that I had to unwrap the paper that covered the ham, so being the idiot , instead of turning off the machine and taking the ham out to unwrap the paper it was covered in,,, I tried unwrapping the paper on the ham with the machine on and sticking my hand next to the spinning slicer trying to unwrap it. So my finger touched the powered slicer and I got a chunk of my skin cut off. There was blood everywhere!I was cursing to myself when that happened and my hand hurt, I noticed it was bleeding, but I tried to finish off my work. So I wrapped the meat and gave it to the lady,,, but there was blood all over the bag. I was hoping she would leave so I could go wash my hand, but she wanted a pound of cheese. So I took the cheese into the kitchen in the back room and told one of my co-workers that I cut my hand really bad. Their was blood all over the floor and the sink. My finger couldn't stop bleeding.My co-worker freaked out and yelled "Do you need an ambulance!!" I was like "no, it's just a cut"It didn't hurt too bad, but it just kept bleeding like crazy, I had 10 sheets of paper towels covered in blood because the bleeding couldn't stop. So they called the stores assistant managers and they took me to their offices. They tried pouring some first aid stuff on me, but I kept bleeding. They taped my finger, but blood was gushing through it.One of the managers was freaking out yelling "what are we gonna do!!?""After the bleeding was more controlled, the managers were pacing the office back and forth worried (Because it just isn't good for the store when its employees serve meat covered in blood)So then the manager says"Okay,,, so you were slicing the meat,,, and you tried unwrapping it while the machine was on,,, and you sliced a part of your finger off""Then I had to explain everything in extreme detail and they had to fill out all these forms on what happened.The managers were freaking out because they were worried that the other deli workers might use the machine with my blood all over the place to slice meat for the customers. There were puddles of blood in the kitchen.
  10. I got a summer job and started my own bank account, but i'm pretty new to how it works.I created a checking account, but I want to know how it differs from a savings account and what are the functions of each of them? Can someone please explain this to me
  11. I like Chuck Norris' movies. He is a great fighter and won the Karate championships in the 60's undefeated. It's just funny how whenever he is on tv he is so unstoppable.
  12. I would choose firing squad. It's quick and over soon. Lethal injection I just couldn't stand the process of dying from that. Gas Chamber I don't know who would pick that one.
  13. Chuck Norris can slam a revolving door and he lost his virginity before his dad did
  14. For those that usually shop on ebay and use paypal as a payment option I want to know how does it work? Does paypal take money from your credit card or bank account for free or are their extra fees you need to pay to use paypal??
  15. http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ I think there are lots of problems with the school system. My Biology teacher was going to school for his masters, and a lot of what they did in some of his classes involved tweaking and bettering schools. One of the best ideas I'd heard was groupind high school students into areas of interest. Every student would take the normal required classes, with the same choice of electives, but they would be grouped into classrooms with other kids who shared similar interests; whether they be in science, math, philosophy, etc. Seemed to me a much more effective way of harboring and nurturing an interest in learning. Changing the time that we go to school would almost certainly help keep kids attentive, as it's known for a fact that the adolescent sleep schedule dictates later sleeping and waking times that we're all forced out of by school. Some people adapt fine, others not well at all. Another thing I've thought of on my own is that we should change the idea of high school. So many people have so little desire to be in the schools, I feel it shouldn't be compulsory. Instead, some sort of daily activity should be required of everyone of high school age. It could be studying/working on a special job skill, like you would at a Tech school, or it could be working on art projects if that's what you're going to do. The same methods of ensuring school attendance could be utilized to ensure that students were completing an activity each day, maybe by submitting reports to schools on a weekly basis. That way everyone would be somewhere they wanted, putting out a strong effort because they truly wanted to be there. Those who chose to go to school would have a much better time as a result of smaller student:teacher ratios and better funding.
