Need advice
by Rook in

can anyone give me some advice on picking a good solid laptop?
Spectrum

At the moment the best on the market in no particular order are
Sony(you pay for quality but also a big premium for the name. )
Toshiba (good make don't know which model to recommend. You'll pay premium for name)
Dell (latitude(these are robust) for business use, or inspiron for home use(great quality for money -Inspiron 6000))
MaxData (solid german laptops)
Mac ibooks are excellent as well.
If it's to travel with, then get a small 12" screen. If it's to watch DVDs then get a widescreen. The inspiron 6000 does not have a great screen for DVD play but great for everything else.
Make sure if travelling that the battery has at least 3.5 hours usage on it.
Instead of Pentium 4 get a mobile processor like the centrino or AMD equivalent as these run cooler therefore less fan usage therefore use much less battery and are quieter.
Hope that helps.

im nearly 19, im right in the middle of leaving the borg, and i dont really know how to say this, (this is gunna sound stupid) but.. i havnt had a girlfriend for over 3 years, am still a virgin, and feel as if im never going to find the right girl for me, because i still beleive in sex after mariage.

not to mention i dont know where i stand on the whole bible thing.

now i know 19 is very young to be looking for a sort of 'serious' relationship, but im starting to feel a bit lonely, anyone have simalar problems after you left?

I think if you are willing to wait for the right girl and you are both chaste on marriage then that can only be a good thing. You give value to your vows.
I waited for the right girl for 10 years but she never came. So now I see that a ten wasted years of celibacy. I was so frustrated in the end that I ended up with the wrong girl. That's what you have to look out for if you decide to wait and it takes a bit too long.

If they despise the world so much then why don't they build a city of their own and surround it with a high wall with watchtowers every 50 meters. A city by their name!!
These people are afraid of their own shadow. They've set themselves such silly standards that the GB knows they are unmaintainable unless they receive a 5 weekly dosage of brainwashing and kept away from people that might snap them out of it.
It's a testimony to how weak these people's faith is in the face of "adversity"

He might do all those things or he might realise what a money spinner this is and go along with it. It depends on what his motives were for starting it in the first place.

"He would change nothing. He would be promptly disfellowshipped for apostasy."
Nice one.

Before the guy has a chance to open his mouth he'll be done on 50 charges!!

He'll probably return to adventism, more up his street I imagine compared to JWism.

I watched King Kong the other day and as usual I walked out on the film. I think it was the two hour point and they still had not returned to New York. I couldn't sit through any more of that badly made, awfully acted film.

These are the real points I want to make in this thread:

How dare they certify such a violent film so that young children can go and see it?
Since when have black people had fangs?
Since when have we run out of black actors forcing whites to paint themselves black to fill the part.
How can an overgrown ape fight three T.Rexs at the same time, whilst juggling a human?!!! I was in fits of laughter!!!!

This film is too violent for young children and to stupid for adults.
I really hope it hasn't made any money.

Skyman,

How does the oil/US dollar currency thing work?
Why does it matter what currency you use to buy oil in?
How does it help the US to buy the oil in dollars?
