It's cheaper to build your own, and most of the time, you'll get better hardware, also. =) I recommend Newegg for parts.
So when I build this fancy computer I have to install and operating system, right?
And that brings me to.... XP or Vista?
if you can actually FIND a copy of xp, get it. unfortunatly, it was discontinued a few months ago, so stocks are running VERY low. or i guess you could always get a pirated copy, but we really can't discuss that here. best bet is to wait about a year and a half for windows 7.
the internet is just a big ass wide area network of computers and servers. the world wide web is a shitload of hypertext markup language files(along with some other types of files) that link to eachother. also, to kill teh interwebs, you must kill all teh cumpootars.
ha, at my school, pretty much te only dress code is to wear clothes. i have even seen a guy going into a classroom wearing what looked like heinrich's trench coat.
as for food, they sell the most unhealthy shit they can(fries, poutine, pizza, etc) and they have 5 vending machines, with a total of about 5 healthy selections.
and no such thing as hands off. i'v seen people making out in the halls.
apparently a student from my school came won an international science fair in grade 12 with a possible cure for cancer a few years ago. if the optimists are right, your sister's tits won't have to be mutilated and she can still live long enough to die of old age.

Bush should print a fuckload of money, WITHOUT LETTING PEOPLE KNOW.
Give it to the banks WITHOUT LETTING PEOPLE KNOW.
And then just claim that the banks sorted themselves out.
germany tried that in the late 10's/early20's. by 1921, a loaf of bread cost 200 000 000 marks.

Dude the only reason we are having trouble with wall street is that that they let Bush run loose and do all his shit and now this happened.
it's not just wall street. because of the global economy, every stock market in the world is just about ready to crash, if they havn't already. just yesterday the TSX(the nearest exchange to where i am) lost over 8%
As you all are well aware of, stock markets all over the world a taking a nosedive due to the US government's failure to bail out it's markets(which is why globalization sucks). I believe that, like the stock market crash almost 80 years ago, this could trigger an economic depression. And this would go across the globe, affecting all capitalist nations(basicly all first world nations). Now we know that the economy is screwed already, but will this actually result in a depression of the scale of the great depression of the 30's? Or will the economy stablize. Only time will tell.
i would put my money on depression, but what's the point if it becomes worthless?
ever heard of military surplus stores? they sell leftover stuff really cheap thats legal for civilians like us. i actually got a really kickass goose down jacket from a place like that in perfect condition for $80. that same place carries cold weather uniforms from about a dozen different armies.

'NO CHILD LEFT BEHIND'
And our stupid fucking monkey redneck excuse for a politician was re-elected, is now enforcing martial law, and is going to probably seize a third term.
God I fucking hate America.
then come to canada. we could always use a few more people.
well, i our school system, we have something for exceptionally intelligent students called the gifted program. now, by definition, a person who is "gifted" should have an IQ of 120 or higher. kinda makes me feel egotistical being in it.
whats really unfair is when you're in class, you look at your fav girl, then put your head on your desk and zone out thinking of her. next thing you know your cock is so hard it feels like its gonna explode.
the only advantage i could think of to being that hard is it gives you an extra 1/2 inch.
