    How will that make a difference? It is her decision, not mine. I would say that option B is probably correct. I honestly don't know what she really thinks of me. None of those sound like something I would say. I'm already planning some things that I could write. I've seen the yearbooks of some of her closest friends' date=' and she normally writes long messages in the yearbooks of the people she cares most about. I've seen her take up entire pages in a yearbook. I think it would seem more friendly if I wrote a long message in her yearbook. I was planning to write my phone number in her yearbook. Yeah, I was feeling really depressed when I wrote it. We had a big awards ceremony at school, and after that there was a time for students to socialize with each other. It was also a chance for students to meet each other's parents and everything. It might have been nice if I had talked to some people, and maybe had a friendly conversation with my best friend's family. But no, I had to be stupid. Instead of socializing, I just stood in the middle of the room and never talked to anyone. I guess this is why people usually think I'm strange. I was mad at myself, and feeling depressed which is why my earlier post was so gloomy.

    Ok. I have a 3-day weekend, then it will be the last day I get to talk to her. It will be the day when I ask her to sign my yearbook, and also the day that I'll probably say goodbye. I'll probably see her a couple more days before graduation, but I doubt I will have a chance to talk to her. I'm still deciding what I should say. I don't even care about going on a date with her at the moment, I just don't want to lose her as a friend. She's the only friend I've ever had, and I honestly don't care about finding another friend. She's a good person, and I'll probably never find someone with such a great personality. I wish we could "hang out" this summer, but I doubt she would want to. I'm a loser, and I'd be surprised if she doesn't hate me. The only reason she probably even talks to me is because I help her with school work. Now that school is over, she will have no reason to be my friend. If I'm not helping her, she would probably be happier if I was dead. The only reason I'm not completely worthless to this world is because of my intelligence. I can help people with school work, but other than that I have no purpose. Sorry if this post sounds gloomy, but I'm feeling a little depressed at the moment.
  3. I know that Apple advertises that feature, but I've never heard another manufacturer talk about it. Would my Compaq laptop have a motion sensor? It was the top-of-the-line model, but it's over a year old.
  4. I just have Internet Explorer on the medium cookie setting, which was the default. Which setting would you recommend?
  5. Can the SFN administrators extend the time it takes before your login session expires? Sometimes I will make a lengthy post, and it will take me a while to type it. It will take even longer if I'm doing research on another web site while I'm typing. Sometimes when I go to submit a new post, the session will expire and I will need to login again. Is there any way somebody can fix this?
  6. Compaqs are the best! They will give you the best computer for the best price. Also, their computers are very high-quality and should last a long time. I have a Compaq that was made in 1998, and it runs for about 8 hours a day. All of the original components still work! Other good computer manufacturers are Apple and Sony. Stay away from Dell, HP, Gateway, and E-machine. I know that HP owns Compaq, but the computers with the HP brand are not as good as the Compaq computers. HP is perhaps the worst brand to buy. My parents bought an HP computer, and one of the drives wasn't even connected to the mother board. I called HP, and their tech support couldn't help me because HP hadn't taught them about their new computer models yet! A year later, some of the files on that computer's hard drive became corrupt. About a year after that, one of the CD-ROM drives quit working. I've talked to other people who own HPs, and many of them have experienced hardware problems. Go buy a Compaq!

    I only have about 2 more days left to talk to her. I'm not sure what to do. Oh-no... I don't really care for animals. I live with my parents' dog, and it annoys me. I don't see how having a dog can make up for not having any friends. You can talk to a dog, but it won't really understand. It's just as much fun to talk to a wall. I want someone I can really care about. Someone who I can understand, and someone who understands me. I've written several really nice letters to her before. She said that they were "sweet" but I don't think any of them have increased our friendship. I don't have any of my own friends. Therefore, I would only be going with her and a group of her friends. I don't think very many of her friends like me very much. Those are some good ideas. I'll do everything I can to keep in touch. I did give her a birthday present last year, and I'll try to get her one this year if we still talk to each other occasionally. I'll also try to send her a Christmas card.
  9. Sorry about the angry rant a few hours ago. I was frustrated at the time because I really wanted to see some of the components of the hard drive. I guess they have their reasons to seal them like that, so sending Western Digital an angry e-mail would be a little silly. Well, I decided to clean up the mess, and throw the hard drive away.
  10. I HATE WESTERN DIGITAL!!!! I'm never buying another hard drive from them again!!! I gave up on fixing it, and I just wanted to open it to see what was inside. I've seen people who have opened their hard drives and taken pictures of it, and posted it on their web site but I don't want to look at pictures of what someone else did! I need to analyze it myself!!! But the stupid hard drive wouldn't even open!!! Why can't they just be normal and use regular screws? Instead they had to seal the piece of junk! I tried everything, but it won't open. I started hitting the stupid thing with my hammer and trying to break it open, but instead little pieces of the case flew all over the place! I never got to open it, and now I just have a huge mess to clean up! I work on computers all the time, but I've never seen the inside of a hard drive before. I've seen pictures, but I want to see it myself! What is wrong with Western Digital? Why are they so selfish that they make their hard drives impossible to open? This is absolutely ridiculous! I'm sending them an e-mail, and telling them that I'm never buying anything from them again!
  11. I tried freezing it for a few hours. It didn't make a difference. I immediantly reconnected it to the computer, and it still kept clicking. I've seen the warnings. Hitting and dropping it wasn't the first thing I tried. I tried other things first, but hitting and dropping was the only thing that was working. It was the only way I got Windows to even start loading. It never got very far, so I eventually gave up. Does anyone have any other suggestions or should I just throw it away?

    Yes, but I'm not really sure what I should do or what should be changed. Yes, she is going to the same one that I am. However, we have already scheduled our classes. I'm going in the morning, and she's going in the evening. Therefore, we will probably never meet again. I had a job. I was a computer specialist. However, I got the network and computers working so well that they didn't need me anymore. It helps to just tell people what is on my mind. I have no one else to talk to, and keeping my thoughts inside can be miserable. I tend to get really nervous when talking to someone important over the phone. I would much rather e-mail them so I can think about what exactly I'm trying to say, and find the best way to say it. Otherwise, I might end up saying something that sounds really strange. Also, it might seem a little strange giving her my phone number. It will be easy if she asks me to sign her yearbook, but I'm not sure if she will. If she doesn't ask, it would seem strange asking her, "Can I please sign your yearbook?" However, it would seem just as strange handing her a piece of paper and saying, "Here's my phone number."

    I think I must be the same way. In fact, I am so picky that there is only one girl that I would date. I always try to help people if they are having trouble with their school work. I also hold the door open for people when they are walking behind me, and I respond to people very politely when they talk to me. Yes, I have her e-mail address and we sometimes e-mail each other. I could use her e-mail address to keep in touch for a little while, but she changes her e-mail address occasionally. I wouldn't know her new e-mail address if she changes it again, because she never sends me an e-mail to let me know she changes it. Whenever I send her an e-mail and she never replies, I will eventually ask her about it in school. Then she will tell me her new e-mail address. After school, how will I know when she changes her e-mail address? She doesn't purposely avoid giving me her new e-mail address, she just doesn't think about it.

    The point is that asking for someone's phone number would sound creepy. Yes, I think that is why I should change. I don't really want to change for one person, but I should change to improve my social life. I need to figure out how to be somewhat "normal". I always try to be nice to everyone, but I obviously need to do something else. Yeah... If it works, I'll make another post here. You might want to check every 20 years or so, but don't get your hopes up.

    That sounds weird. If someone asked me that, I wouldn't know what to think. Hang out where? That would seem weird. She might think I'm a creepy murderer or something. This advice would be good for "normal" people, but nobody really likes me so I think it is my problem. Yes, but everyone will reject me. Everyone at my school has a negative image of me. Lots of people think I'm crazy. I was talking to some other people, and I found out that some people know me as "the guy with glasses who never talks" and some other people know me as "the guy with the huge book bag who walks funny." Now, what girl would want to date a guy who everyone thinks is weird? I see myself as a loser because that's how everyone else sees me.
  16. Many things won't be able to withstand extreme temperatures. Even if something is waterproof, that doesn't mean that it can't melt. Yes, but there are some instances where you might need to find some data that you used a very long time ago. If you own a large company, you aren't going to want to copy and rewrite all of your cards. You might want to put them on some type of storage media and put them in a file cabinet. If you suddenly need this data 20 year later, you are going to have a problem. Some of my SNES cartridges haven't been played for about 15 years, but all of my saved data is still on them.
  17. It didn't do any good. The computer won't even recognize that the hard drive is attached until it starting reading from it. Now I can't get it to do that. Also, the hard drive is now making a horrible squealing noise.
  18. The hard drive isn't under warranty anymore. I've actually made a little progress by using techniques most computer repair people wouldn't think of. I've tried dropping the hard drive, and I've tried hitting it with a hammer. Believe it or not, the hard drive will sometimes start working whenever I hit it or drop it. The clicking noise will stop, and it will start reading from the hard drive. I just got the Windows 98 boot screen to load. Every few seconds, the hard drive would start clicking again, and I would hit or drop it. It would stop clicking, and then load a little more. I didn't get very far before the hard drive shutoff completely again. I had the restart the computer, and now I can't get to the boot screen anymore. Does anyone have any other suggestions? Remember, I'm just trying to burn a few files to a CD. I'm not actually trying to fix it.
  19. I have a Western Digital 40GB hard drive from work that I'm trying to recover data from. When I turn it on, it will start making a loud clicking noise. Each click is about one second apart. Then I get a "Non-System disk or disk error". Some times, the hard drive will stop spinning for a few seconds, then it will start again and continue making the clicking noises. Sometimes it will stop completely until I reboot the computer. At one point, I turned the hard drive upside-down, and the clicking noise stopped. It sounded like it was actually reading from the hard drive for a few seconds, then it stopped spinning again. We already have a new hard drive. We just want to recover some files from the old one. Does anyone have any suggestions?

    I think this is a good idea. How should I ask her? She is my best friend, so I don't want to ask her in a way that would make her feel uncomfortable. I have accepted her for who she is. I know that she isn't perfect. However, I do know that she's a good person. She's the best person I know, and that's what matters to me.
  21. Well, I don't think we are just going to send this letter to the people who support this video. We plan on posting it on various evolutionist and creationist forums, and other places on the Internet. Even if it doesn't influence the people who make and support this video, it will raise awareness that the video isn't completely true.

    What exactly do you mean by that? No, they are the people who anonymously go to the guidance counselor and say that I need help. The only person who actually talked to me about my poems was my best friend. I think she said something like, "Life is too short to be lonely."

    I did some thinking, and I think there might be a different problem. I don't think she has anything against me, and I'm not even sure that she doesn't like me. When I first said I liked her, she seemed happy. She still seems happy whenever I compliment her. I think my main problem is my reputation among other students. We always have more friendly conversations when just the two of us are talking. When some of her friends are around, she normally doesn't say that much to me. Recently, I said "hi" to her when some of her friends were nearby, and she smiled at me and just whispered, "hey". It was almost like she didn't want her friends to hear her. I don't exactly have the best reputation among other people. Most people seem to think I'm crazy. I know there are a lot of rumors about me going around that simply aren't true. Some of the people I've heard spreading these rumors are friends with the girl I'm talking about. If the girl ever hears the rumors, I really doubt she would believe them. She is my best friend, and she knows my personality better than anyone else. However, she might worry about what her friends will think if she goes on a date with someone like me. The girl is very popular, and she has lots of friends. Why would she risk losing some of her friends just to go on a date with someone like me? She is such a great person, that she could probably go on a date with any guy she wants to. I really can't blame her for not wanting to go on a date with me. She knows I'm a nice guy, but why would she choose me if she could be with someone who is considered to be more "normal"? Thank you, Sabbath, for all of your suggestions. I try to have friendly conversations with other people, but I think most people already have the idea that I'm crazy. Although there are a few people who are friendly to me. I try to have conversations with these people whenever I can. When I was younger, I always smiled. People in school used to make comments about how I never stopped smiling, and they all said that they never saw me frown. Last year, people were telling me how I always looked so depressed. People told me that I should smile more. Lots of people started to worry about me, especially when I started writing poems about death, loneliness, and suicide. I never considered committing suicide, but I certainly wasn't very happy and never thought of life as a good thing. This year, I've tried smiling more. I think I appear to be a happier person than I was last year, and I suppose that I am a happier person. The main reason is that I now have a best friend to talk to. She makes life seem a lot less lonely for me, but I will probably have to say goodbye to her in a few weeks. School is ending, and we might never see each other again. She told me that we can still be friends after school is over, but I'm not sure how.
