  1. Well most people who create viruses do it either for glory or to spite a certain OS or program. The people who write viruses for glory do it for when a major virus comes out they can say that it was all them and they are the best. The people who do it to spite an OS or program want to put down the program by showing it has code flaws and its not good to use. Neither are good reasons but thats the reason. Spyware is another story people make that to steal information and don't want to be found out.
  2. Wow! Why do people just do things to people out of anger when they have done nothing wrong. If I were you I would take this awful room mate to small claims court to get your rent if she is kicking you out. There is no reason you should have to take that because after all it is more or less stealing. She should not be punishing you guys because of someone else's idiotic choice. I am glad you are moving out you shouldn't have to deal with people like that.
  3. Wet socks are by far the most impossible things to put on. A lot of my socks are really small because I need to buy new ones and they are hard enough to get on as it is. Why are they so evil water usually acts as a lubricant when you put it on something so why can't my socks come on easier. Its just one of those things that are annoying and are a part of daily life.
  4. I know what you are saying my mind thinks when I do not need it to and doesn't think when I need it's help. When I am bored I have to think to breathe, brain thinks>gotta breathe, breathe, repeat. When I am taking a math test my brain says bye bye. It does not help me with the evil math at hand. Sometimes I just get mad at my own thought process but I control my thoughts so its my fault. The brain is a wonderful thing but sometimes it confuses me.
  5. If you like something before it is a fad you will get picked on for sure. People are just intimidated by/think people who are different from them in any way (including the way you dress). It is human nature to pick on people who are different and its been like that forever. Cavement probably made fun of the first one who learned how to make pigments for clothing and now it is used by all. These things just come up in life and the best thing is to just ignore it because if people are not getting a reaction its boring to bug someone.
  6. Google wins this hands down! As far as Google Search goes Yahoo does not even come close with the amount of relevant results. Gmail is better than Yahoo Mail it has double the space and way more features. As far as Geocities verses Google Pages Google wins again with professional templates and no ads. Google just does everything right not even computer giant Microsoft can compete with it. Google is just a great company with ideas that really made it take off. The stuff I mentioned is just a little of what Google does best.

    Goths

    I agree that goths do suffer a reputation that they really do not deserve. There is a kid at my school who I am kind of friends with who is gothic and he's pretty cool. Goths are normal people more or less they just have a different outlook on life and there is nothing wrong with that. Open your minds people!
  8. Wow Google is trying to take over the internet because they have almost every service out there and its better than the competition. Gmail for domains is probably going to shut down mail servers everywhere because Gmail offers such a great service.
  9. Thats awful how can the German government do that to you? Your country is supposed to honor the people who are protecting their country in the armed forces. They should not treat you like garbage they should treat you with the honor, dignety, and respect you deserve. This story is the worst thing anyone's country has done to someone in their military. You should submit this to a newspaper in your area some bad publicity seems to turn corrupt, government agencies around in some cases.
  10. I really think that this is a good idea for a number of reasons. The first reason is that I do not really like all those banner exchange sites out there they seem like spyware to me. If I am going to have a banner exchange I rather have banners on my site linking to the sites of people who contribute on Xisto rather than complete strangers. Not only that but that will insure the ads people see are in agreement with Xisto's TOS because I really would not like to link to something that is not.
  11. Running a webserver just is not worth it unless you have a T1 connection or better. Undedicated bandwidth is great for websurfers but bad for webservers because you never know what your speed is going to be and the speed is faster for downloading than uploading (not good for people accessing your site). Not only that I know that Comcast does not allow you to have a webserver if you read their TOS. Like I said if you don't want to buy T1 just use shared hosting, enough said.
  12. Wow and I thought my school wasted paper! My vent is about how schools do not provide enough paper. I bought a bunch of notebook paper at the beginning of the year thinking it would be enough because the school is supposed to supply the worksheets but I was wrong. When the year was one quarter over all my paper ran out. I bought four packs of paper and it should have been sufficient for the grade I was in at the time. The reason all my paper was gone was pointless assignments. We had to take notes for history when it was right there in front of us in the book. All those notes were graded but the reason we had to do them was for help on the exam. Our exam had nothing to do with the notes we took at all! I have a hard time reading my notes anyway so I usually read the whole book a few times before the exam anyway. All the time we were forced to spend on notes that came to be books at the end of the year had no purpose! Schools just do not know how to manage paper of their own or others. They would be better off with a paper quota including student notebook paper so they don't give out pointless work. That was only in one class I used all that paper in so what does that tell you.
  13. There is nothing wrong with putting a song in another language it is just like putting any other piece of written work into another language and this is no different. Another good reason for translating it is the fact that America has no official language. Even though we use English I read somewhere that we have no official language. If we have no official language how can we keep songs and documents in one language only? Well, unless they make English official they can't.
  14. I would never use any of these programs and I agree there is no reason for anyone to use them. Stealing software is the same as stealing anything. Making a piece of software takes time and resources like anything else. Would you go steal a car from your local car dealer? Most of you would not. Stealing software is the same thing. It took time to make the car and it took time to make the software. Besides the fact that this is morally wrong it is also against the law and if you get caught the consequences are very severe. Not only that but there are many open source programs that can get you by until you can afford the expensive software. As for what Lyon2 said I have never done any of those things because they are also wrong and I will not in the future.
  15. In my opinion World of Warcraft is only a good game if you are really great at making friends or have friends that already play. Without friends after level 10 the game gets very repetative and very boring. I only play when my friends are on.
  16. As far as I am concerned this game is garbage and I do not blame you for creating a vent about it. What bothers me the most is the whole Runescape community not the game it's self. Sure the game is awful but thats obvious and there is no reason to tell people about it. The Runscape community is very annoying. All they do is talk about how great the game is and how you must play it. All they do is tell you how moronic you are for not playing. When I say they are wasting their lives all they say is how much of an idiot I am and I do not know what I am talking about. When I tell them I wasted two years of my life playing that game and getting nothing in return they just shrug like I have no idea what I am talking about. Some RS fans also have a tendency of taking over things like shoutboxes and chat rooms to talk about Runescape when no one else even wants to hear about it. The community on its own is annoying forget about the game. I must admit a lot of Runescape fans do not bother you about the game but just as many do. I just want to make that clear that I understand some people who play the game are not annoying.
  17. I do not agree that anarchy would work, especially not today. Having basic services run by private companies is not a good idea. Corruption and crime would be very widespread. It is impossible for people to have a society without laws and stuff because people can do what they wish since their will be no laws to break. Anarchy benefits criminals and government usually benefits the innocent in my opinion.
  18. I agree that people should not let themselves go to the point where it could kill them but there is nothing wrong with having a small amount of extra weight. If you have a few extra pounds and you get sick and can not eat that little bit of fat will keep you alive when you can not eat. The idea of having a little extra fat isn't bad it is just when people have way too much to eat and they are chronically obese. Once you are chronically obese its nearly impossible to lose the weight because you have a very hard time exercising. The only way for an obese person to lose weight is to go on a very strict diet. I know because my grandma has tried diet after diet and not very many give any results at all.
  19. That kind of stuff happens between adults all the time. They say how mature they are and stuff like that but they honestly are not they argue as much as us. The thing I would do is tell your mom her being mad should not get in the way of your friendship and she is being selfish and unfair if she is going to do that. That will only work if you have good communication with your parents but if they will not listen to you its best to contact your friend on the phone and computer so you can stay friends even though your mom is being annoying.
  20. I really do not like this new version of Micrsoft Office. Many Microsoft Office users including myself have been using office since its early versions. In every new version the interface has remained somewhat the same. This new version completely changed it. I see no need to have to fix something that is not broken. The fact there are seven different versions available is also kind of annoying just make one version to keep people from being confused.
  21. Wow this is a new low even for Microsoft. I think this is kind of unfair for the people who run pirated Windows who bought it from some store and did not even know it was pirate. I do not see why it is fair to punish the innocent as well as the guilty. Almost all computer places install Windows on their computers and who knows if they give everyone a unique copy and they still bill you for it. In fact, I tell them I don't want Windows and buy my own copy in an unopened box.
  22. If you ask me Iran is preparing for a showdown with the free world. They are constantly ignoring laws passed by international organizations like the UN. I do not see why they want to create a world conflict so much. I think that NATO and other alliances should take this as a direct threat to international security and take swift, immediate action.
  23. Wow I do not understand how this lawsuit will possibly be won by the person sueing the family. It seems that music companies just are mad about filesharing and they will go after anyone who can. I think this is just as bad as some of the world's worst dictators have done as far as saying people have done things they actually didn't. One of the people who did this the most was Joseph Stalin. Can the music industry really sink this low?
  24. All computer teachers have no idea what they are doing when it comes to computers. This year we had an Excel project in computer class. We had to convert miles to kilometers for something I am not sure what it was. My computer teacher said their was a formula to do this and she said its not the one for multiplying the cells. Many people including myself told her their was no such formula. She said there was and some kid claimed to get it working. It turned out to be the multiplication formula the teacher said we can not use but she was telling us to use it then. We also could not copy him we had to come up with our own formula which is not possible. Talk about knowing nothing about computers. She had an even worse time teaching us HTML. When we had to create our final pages, which were disgraces by the way since she taught us nothing about CSS so we could not get decent looking pages. I figured I learned something useful and went on HTML help sites to advance my skills. I come to realize she did not even tell us the first starting tag (the document type). If she is teaching us HTML she should have taught us that if you ask me.
  25. I really do not consider commercials to join the American military propoganda just because they are outlining the benefits of it and facts. By joining the army you really are doing something important like the commercial says. I am sure the part about college was no lie either. They do not have any lies in the commercial they are just telling you the facts. I really do not think that facts are propaganda myself.
