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.

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.

I like playing Texas hold em, it's much better and more fun playing than regular poker.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

Chuck Norris can slam a revolving door and he lost his virginity before his dad did

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??

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.

That headbut by Zidane was the best way to end the World Cup. He certainly played his last game and retired with a big bang!

That new Alexander the Great movie was just horrible. I was hoping it would be something amazing, but the entire movie was just terrible.

Today our scales in the deli were messed up and when you type in the product such as krakus ham it would come up to something like beef, any way this lady was angre "I want it cut on the end slicer, on number ten, and I dont want anything on my cheese." ok, I cut it ring it up, it says gouda, Im like, ma'am the price is right but it has the wrong name, she says "WUT! did you put the wrong price on it?" I repeated myself, so as im cutting something else for her she says SIR SIR, i'm like yes, she says this has the wrong price its supposed to be onsale. I say it is, she says well what is the sale price for carando salami, so i tell her and she says then why does this say 5.99. Im like, because thats cheese ma'am you asked for the price for salami she's like oh..then as she's leaving she mumbles a "jeez I'm glad I'm moving'...and i responded with a sincere "ME TOO!"

For those that work at a store, what is the worst customer you had to deal with?Chicken breasts were on sale buy 1 get 1 free b1g1 at my store, but it was supposed to be with an in-store coupon.The cashier calls me over (i work at the serv. desk) and said that the customer wanted to talk to someone. the guy says that he was "ripped off" because it didnt scan at b1g1. so I said "The chicken is free with a coupon, let me put that in for you." so i'm still at the register and i generate the coupon. the guy said that the sign didnt say you need a coupon, so I said "My understanding is that you needed a coupon, but let me call the department." normally, i would've been like "too bad" but i could tell the guy was mad, so to avoid confrontation, I chose to play that card. The market calls and is like "i dunno, let me read the sign" but the arrogant jackass says "Lets go in the back, I'll show you." so we go in the back, and it turns out the customer was right, the sign actually read "No Coupon Needed." So I apologize to the man and I said "I'm sorry, I was misinformed on the need for a coupon, but I will let my manager know." Rather than accepting the apology, he said "See, I was right. You've probably been ripping people off for days." and I said, "Well I apologize for that sir, but as I said, I will let my manager know as soon as I get back up to customer service." and he said "This is ridiculous! I can't believe this! I should at least get an apology!" and I said "Sir, I apologized. I said I will inform my manager." He continues to babble and I said "Sir, what else would you like me to do?" Not in an *BLEEP* type way, but literally, I wanted to know what he wanted me to do! He said "Change your system." Normally, I would lie and say that I would do it right away, but since I thought the man may call corporate, I figured I'ld stick to policy, so I said "I can't change the prices in the system like that, but my manager can and he will as soon as I tell him."Then the man said "This is why you shouldn't have questioned me." Now I started gettin pissed. We were still by the meat market, so at this point, I chose to start walking back to the front of the store so I could call the manager up. I said "Sir, I wasn't questioning you at all, I was simply going by what I knew. I apologized for that, but I still have to do my job." He then begins yelling, so I just walked away. Im walking up to the service desk and all the way from the back of the store down aisle three up to the service desk he is shouting at me telling me that I'm some 18-year-old-punk and all I do is have an attitude and question the customer. So as he is yelling at me I'm just repeating "Thank You Sir, have a good day. Thank you for shopping at Jewel. Have a nice day. Thank you sir, have a good day."I get up to customer service and he's still yelling and he's up at the service desk causing a scene so I go to the phone and call for 94 to the Service Desk. He's still saying "I'm not letting some 18-year old treat me like this." The manager calls and I said "You need to come up here, I'm getting screamed at." Before entering the bookroom I just said "Sir, I'm done waiting on you. The manager will be up here." The manager took it from there, but I was about ready to kick the man in the face.

Lots of surprises this World Cup. France improved greatly since last World Cup. I am going for Germany.

I was wondering if someone might know what my problem might be.I have an LCD Monitor and I had it for about 3 years. I'm having some weird problem with it. Whenever the monitor was off and I turn it on with the power button, the green light on the power button starts blinking on and off for 5-10 minutes and then finally the monitor turns on. I have been having this problem for a while and I tried disconnecting the plugs and connecting them back, but the same thing happens. Whenever the monitor is off, and then when I turn it on, all that happens is the power button starts blinking green and off over and over for around 5 minutes until the monitor finally turns on. What might the problem be?

The referees at this World Cup were really crazy. Especially in the Portugal versus Netherlands game, he gave out yellow and red cards to everybody, even the goalie!

I have encountered many idiotic people where I work.Some common things I get from people are:"Can you pay with a check?" (Immediately after the previous customer pays with a check, and bear in mind, there was a line, so this wasn't a few minutes later, either.)"Do you take cash?" (He was serious, too.)"Do you work here?" (I must be immune to this question; in my unfortunate 15 months at the store, I only heard this question once when I was either in apron or holding it.)"Where is the ..." (Said item is in front of their face.)"Are you open? (Referring to a register. The more blatantly obvious that I am open, the stupider this question is. I've been asked this question both in the middle of huge, fast-moving lines and when I call customers to a dormant register. Why would I call you here if I wasn't open? Well, I suppose next time you're here...yeah.)"It didn't scan, is it free?" (Not necessarily as stupid as it is annoying and pitifully unfunny. I'm preparing a terminology-laden philosophical rant that should be ready by next week if anyone decides to ask me that again.)"I want cash back, do I push yes?" (When the screen asks "Do you want cash back?")"Do I push accept? (After signing, despite the sign taped to the pin pad that clearly specifies that you must sign before accepting, obviously it doesn't work as one out of every three customers still dives for the accept button.)"Do I push accept or clear?" / "Do I push clear?" (My God.)"Can I get a discount?" (The question itself isn't as stupid as many of the reasons for wanting a discount. Such reasons include: a slight rip on the box packaging paper where the item is perfectly fine, slightly discolored packaging paper, having to wait for a long time to receive the item when it's perfectly clear that at noon on a weekend, you had best be prepared to wait, among many other reasons not involving the product itself and therefore not passing as legitimate excuses for getting a discount. This can be particularly stupid if the discount is extremely small. 3 cents is the record here.)Some days we end up answering the phones as wellMe: Thank you for calling the Hulen Home Depot, how can I direct your call?Customer: Is this Home Depot?Me: Yessss...Customer: Is this the one over off Hulen?Me: Yessss...(Thinking to myself) Are you a dumba**?Me: Have a nice day.~ Me: Thank you for calling the Hulen Home Depot, how can I direct your call?Customer: Hi, can I speak with your Computers' department?Me: We don't sell computers.Customer: Are you sure?Me: Yes, this is HOME Depot...are you sure you're not trying to call OFFICEDepot?Customer: Oh...I always get ya'll confused...you guys should change your name.(Thinking to myself) So we should change our name b/c you're too stupid to getit straight in your head?Me: Oooookkkkk...have a nice day.~ Me: Thank you for calling the Hulen Home Depot, how can I direct your call?Customer: Yes, I need to return an item that I special ordered.Me: Alright, what is you phone number?Customer: ***-***-****Me: Ma'am are you sure you got this here?Customer: I'm positive.Me: May I ask what it is that you are trying to return?Customer: A computer. I asked for one certain model and you guys orderedme the wrong one.Me: Ma'am you called The Home Depot. We've never sold computers throughspecial orders or carried them as regular stock.Customer: But I found ya'll's reciept & so it has to be from your store.**It took a couple of more times of repeating the previous line I had stated &emphasis on the fact that we sell lumber, paint, tools & lighting but no computersbefore she backed off...Oh yes, and there were customers at my desk that werelaughing uncontrollably just hearing my side of the conversation

What is the Craziest thing you have ever done???The craziest thing I ever done was eat Jalapeno Peppers when it was 90 degrees outside and then after that I had to go out and train. The instructor worked us out hard that day and my entire insides were on fire and I felt like i was gonna puke.another crazy thing I did was last year me and my friends came to my house but the door was locked, my parents went somewhere, and I didn't have a key. So I walked to the front of my house and knew there was a loose window, I pushed it open, took out the screens, and I climbed into my house through the window (I was so into that game Socom US Navy Seals and I was pretending I was a navy seal breaking into terrorist headquarters) My friends cheered me on but my parents got pissed when they got home thinking one of the neighbors would call police thinking I was a burglar.
