Buying a laptop, not sure what to look for
That's what I figured, but I'm just looking for some info, I'm most likely not going to buy it there.

The standard Topsider model looks better, I think.

Buying a laptop, not sure what to look for
I'm already pretty familiar with Windows' bowels and my software works with it, so I don't see why I should switch. I'm headed to Futureshop today, I'll report back at the end of the day.

Forgot to mention I prefer modern production to the earlier sounds, I can't hear what's happening otherwise. How's that for some irony :-w

Good decision. :thumbup:

Do you use email anymore?
No. First of all, because everyone has my @live.com address and Windows Live is the slowest thing ever. They won't let you automatically forward everything to another e-mail, either. I just use facebook for all actual communication, and I only use e-mail when I have no other option.

"I want a girlfriend/boyfriend", and other such relationship advice
No, you're not getting what I'm saying. When you use girls, you teach them to have low self esteem and self worth, as well as to use people. That's what your ex did to you when she used you, because you stopped trusting women and started using them. Helping people and then screwing others over is nothing to be proud of, and it's especially bad when you know exactly what it feels like to be the victim. Being scum because scumbags don't get cheated on is as bad a mentality as not dating so you don't get broken up with. Besides... ...what is this?

Buying a laptop, not sure what to look for
OK. Other than that, what do I need to look for when it comes to the sound card, for example? And should I wait until Windows 8 is released? It feels as though 7 was released yesterday.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gfdCmfGn-f4 Soviet era progressive thrash band from Russia. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IbDttnRV62A Melodic black. Anyone know something similar? Keyboards are forbidden. I've had Dissection and Thulcandra recommended to me, sometimes a bit too reminiscent of power metal though.

Did you delete her on msn? Also who posts that on someone's wall, that's the kind of thing that goes in your inbox.

Buying a laptop, not sure what to look for
That being said, my computer already fulfills those requirements and still struggles with the software often. I'm willing to go above 500$, maybe a bit over 1000$ USD, especially if the extra price will make it last longer. Not sure what you mean by this:

Buying a laptop, not sure what to look for
Hey guys. I'll be leaving to university in a year, and my current computer is slowly turning into dust, so my mother and I decided it would be time for a new one, and that it should be a laptop. A few questions pose themselves: 1) Given the fact that I watch lots of videos, make lots of music and download a lot of things in addition to performing everyday activities like using Office/Notepad (probably useful during class), web browsing, etc, what do I need to look for in my computer? 2) Given the fact that my mom works at a school and the school generously gives all its employees free copies of Windows, Office, antivirus software, etc., is it possible, instead of a laptop with all kinds of basic software installed, to get a clean one at the same price, but with a better performance? 3) Will reformatting the computer I'm currently using make it faster for my mom when I leave? We're not swimming in dough here and I'd love to save her the trouble of buying a new one. I have a backup drive, so I can save the software she needs and all the files she uses on there. Thanks in advance. I apologize if I haven't given enough detail and I'll be glad to tell you what you need to know.

Not a bad idea. Where specifically is she going, or is she traveling a lot? If you give me some clues, I can look around to see where you'd be unlikely to go through this. Brooks Brothers is having a sale, suits start at 1120$, which is like 8000$ AUS? Today only. That's pretty much foolproof, but I would wait around before getting a MTM suit, read about suits, so you know what you're getting into.

So you help adolescent males and then you turn and use girls? In the end, you might as well do nothing, unless you want to twist logic into a pretzel and claim you're actually helping them when clearly, being "helped" by your ex actually hasn't done you much good.

"I want a girlfriend/boyfriend", and other such relationship advice
Like I said, I don't know enough about the situation, but I got the same thing from my girlfriend when I broke up with her, when I don't think I was really leading her on.

"I want a girlfriend/boyfriend", and other such relationship advice
See my last post. Every couple has their doubts, and sometimes they overcome them, so breaking up immediately isn't necessarily a solution.

"I want a girlfriend/boyfriend", and other such relationship advice
I don't really know everything that happened between them, but I'm just saying there's a big difference between having doubts and breaking up with someone.

"I want a girlfriend/boyfriend", and other such relationship advice
As far as I'm concerned, it is okay, Sam. It takes a while before you're sure you're not going to change your mind, as you said. When I help people, I help them improve themselves and become the confident being they need to be. What I do, some people view as using girls. Fine, fair enough. But I do not encourage said behavior out of those whom I help. And when I go into "jerk" mode, it's not sincere. I'm a serious guy who's never serious. Of course I treat women with respect and and whatnot. I just happened to not commit to any of them, while dating many others. People come to me asking for help. I give them the means to help themselves. Which is excruciatingly hard to do online, but when's the last time I really heavily advised one individual on here to do anything specific? I know where my boundaries are. In the realm of reality, I can be much more articulate, and give more time and effort to those I'm helping. It's almost an entirely different process. It seems to me you assume everyone has the same expectations as you when, believe it or not, that's not true, especially if you fish in the high school pond. It's fine if both people know exactly what's going on, but if you're being dishonest, you're a liar, because you're making a tacit agreement and not planning on abiding by its rules. I fail to see how you're helping girls improve themselves and become more confident. You're just setting up the basis for trust problems; you're encouraging those girls to behave like you in the exact same way your ex encouraged you to [bleep] around. I really am being very judgmental and I apologize for that, but try as I might, I can't help but think you're an [wagon]; that being said, you're right in that I know too little to make my mind up. That's not my goal here; I just hope if I'm right about the way you treat the girls you hook up with, you might tread more carefully from now on.

Looks like a terrible company... http://www.scarfonline.com.au/p-235-rfs-27187-fawn-sol235.aspx Pants too long, jacket too big, second button closed, shoes are hideous. Even if they tailor it for you as the advert says, I would expect the fit to be terrible.

Over the phone?? That's [bleep]ing weaaaak on her part. You should really consider placing a bag of dog [cabbage] on her front step, lighting it, ringing the door bell, and running away. That'll show her. She was unable to go see him, it was the best she could do.

Rpg, you'd be witnessing that success story yourself if you didn't use girls. I can't believe you claim you love helping people.

You can wear pretty much any color with it, except for colors between cyan and blue. We can't really give you outfit suggestions, not being aware of what's in your wardrobe and all.
