?

Okay. Few months back in april, i met this girl at a competition for our club (her first meet was at the competition). And at the competition me and this other guy got along with her and had fun. And one of those days at the competition she wrote down her number on her arm and showed it to me but it was a glance. Luckily that image was kinda embedded in my mind, and i wasnt to sure if it was correct. So at the end of that day. I kinda just saved what i thought could have been her number. Then the final day at the competition, it was sorta the same old thing just getting along and laughing having fun but by the end of that day, i felt pretty depressed because i started to like her and i saw her with the other guy playing around with her and flirting with her. Im not much of a player and dont flirt alot. So after seeing that, i just kinda brush all my feelings away pretty quick. Then when i got back to school i recognized her in my photography class. But she doesnt talk to me often in the class be cause we sit soo far away and our teacher is pretty strict. Later on that week. We got called in to do a commercial for the whole school regaurding the competition and how we placed pretty hight for a first year rookie team and we got to see and speak to each other again and after we got done with the commercial the other guy decided to mess around with me and tell me she likes me (well i think he was messing around, he just the type of guy that jokes around alot). And she went up to us and told him to stop being so rude. 3 weeks went buy and the dude txt me saying if i wanted to go ice skating with me and the girl. They told me they invited me cuz her sister likes me ( she saw me at the competition) but i highly doubt that because she really didnt look like she liked me. But that night, i had alot of fun with her because she taught me how to skate because i didnt know how. lol at the end of the night, i saw her in his arms. After that night i kinda brushed all those regained feelings again.. okay now comes the more recent events.

2 weeks ago i got to see her for the last time at a camp for our club. our job was to watch over little kids while they built little robots with legos. And to be honest it was pretty fun watching those kids with her. Because the other guy wasnt there cuz his car broke down. So the three days i was at camp we had a fun time talking and there were times where i would have to protect her from the kids cuz we all found her tickle spot. I got to get along with her two sisters. And yea i started to like her alot. So on the last day i was able to attend at the camp, near the end of the day, we all were discussing that the guy was going to come in the next day and she stated some things i did not expect. She said that he was annoying and didnt wanna come in since he was coming in. I couldnt make it because i had to go to an orientation. So i really dont know what happend that last day but the last day i was there i wanted to ask for her number but i forgot cuz i was in a hurry to my best friends graduation so i didnt get it. Just about a week ago, i spoke to our president about how i felt about her and was hoping if she could do something so we can see each other again and she said no but the next day she planned to have everybody in the club go see World War Z and planned it on a day where i couldnt make it. She told me she was going to invite the girl. And was only inviting her for me. (She doesnt like her btw). But the thing was i specificaly told her not to ever give me her number and she goes ahead and gives it to me. When she gave it to me tho, it actually the number i remembered and saved on to back at competition. I didnt call or text her because i couldnt go to the movies that day cause i was busy. but now on wednesday july 3, were having a game night and i want to ask her if she wants to come.

So i dont know what to do now, im just going crazy right now. I really wanna see and talk to her i just dont know how?! our presidents no help .-. Do you think she likes me? (I know itll be hard to tell) I really didnt wanna know her number and wanted to get it in person. So should i just wait till i see her next year (problem with this is that im not gonna be in high school and i really dont have away of seeing her unless is winter break cuz of how busy i will be in college, btw we are both 17 and shes like 2 weeks older than me i started school way too early). My second option is to just talk to her and ask her if she wants to go to the game night (since she actually gave me her number before). or my final option is just to forget and move on.. which i really dont wanna do.

I've been a die hard Dragonball fan since I was a kid (let say the age of Gohan's first appearance). I own the Dragonball GT Collection since I saw it on sale for $30 (crazy right)! Right now I really was wanting to see the crazy adventures they had again in Z, but I can't find the collection anywhere. I'm actually looking for Dragonball, Dragonball Z, and their movies (I know I'm way behind, I just really want to keep this collection till the day I die...maybe). I don't want anything used. I'm afraid of having scratched discs, so NO eBay.

---

So do you think you can find the Dragonball Z Collection anywhere, legit? It doesn't have to come with the movies or the original Dragonball (found one and it seem ok...I'll get it later) but if it does that's cool. The only thing I care about is the price I'm willing to go to $100 for the collection.

For any of you Dragonball fans that have seen Kai, do you think they have ruined it for censoring gore to make it child friendly? (Geez, I've watched it since I was 4)

Hi I'm a bit concerned on cheating since my history teacher thinks I was cheating. In class we usually take notes and after we're done with notes we go and do this worksheet that is like fill in the answers and you read. So my friend thinks it would be good to split the work in half and do our own work(I do 8 questions and he does 8 questions.) any ways the only reason we did this is that we had 10 mins of class(I didn't agree with this but I would just so I can get my work finished). While we did the work my friend starts to ask me where did Q9 start since we split it (I think the teacher was watching us right there). So we kept on working but I barely finished my half when the bell rang so I turned in what I had WITHOUT copying my friend. Then right when I turned it in my teacher told me if I catch you one more time cheating I will write you up and give you a zero on your assignment. Well, I didn't really get mad at him since I was thinking about it.

Ugh...I hate this class we barely have time to do any of our work. That's the only reason my friends needs my help most of the time.

---

I would like to know what was the reason why he thought I was cheating? Was it cause i gave my friend an answer.

Is it considered cheating if I help a friend figure out where this one question is to find this other? ( I know it's confusing)

how an I going to let my friend know that I can't help him any more, so I don't get written up?

Should I talk to my teacher and get everything straightend out?

---

PS

this was the only time I have asked a friend to split the work. I don't ever cheat. I am an A/B student (Im using my iPod no Q). I'm ranked 7 smartest sophmore at school, who wouldn't ask for my help? I usually get my work done. This was a one time thing. I'm trying to avoid trouble the best I can, even if I go to the most GHETTOEST school in the district!

Im actually scared cause the last time I ever was written up was when I was in 3rd grade. I changed my ways since then

If you were in the rain that just hit the west coast, would you have been exposed to radiation from Japan?

So I built my pc a week ago and started noticing 500gb wasn't enough for what I need. How do I add more storage to my pc?

I have a WD blue 500gb 7200rpm.

And I want to get a WD black 1tb 7200rpm.

But I don't know how to set it up? I looked through YouTube and other sites. I was thinking about this before I built my system and thought it wasn't going to be a problem. I thought that it would be easy to just set it a raid 0 . I was mistaken on what Raid was and now I can't figure out what in the world I'm supposed to do.

If it's easy as adding another hard drive to my pc and hook it up to my mobo without configuring anything in the bios then tell me, but I highly doubt that.

And if anybody can tell me, what is raid? And what is it used for?

I know that I will never happen, since they make alot of money. But I was just wondering would all are games be gone, if valve closed steam? I'm new to steam but concerned that if valve closed steam would all our money be a waste, because you would need steam to play the games?

Wouldn't you get pissed if you had $500 worth of games on steam then all of a sudden is GONE, and you wouldn't be able to play any of your games? I know I would.

Oh, I would also like to know what is a good game for an onboard graphics like the 4290 HD? I was thinking about Counter-Strike Source, Garry's mod, and Half-Life 2.

This is my first pc build and I am stressing out how long it takes to update.

I have been updating this thing for about 3 hrs and I'm pissed. So I tried to shut down now I'm stuck on that screen that says " please do not unplug machine installing 1 of 1 updates" and that's been going for about 30 mins.

Can someone tell me how long should it take to get all the updates finished?

Hi I just built my first pc and now I'm having trouble getting these updates to actually update... Right now it's installing:

Security Update for Windows 7 for x64 based systems.

I have a 64-bit of Windows 7 OEM installed.

When I was going to install these updates I was thinking it would be fast because in 1 hr. it completed 41 out of 65 updates. But once it got to that security update thing above, it seems like my Internet go disconnected and stopped trying to install. My problem is it's been installing this for the passed 2 hrs.

1) How long does it take to install this?

2) Is it ok to Stop the installation and reboot my system and try to install it again?

Hi, I'm 16 and I'm building my first computer tomarrow but I'm scared that once I build it I might get a virus on it. I've never been very good at keeping my pc safe from the Internet. What I really want is some advice on how to keep my pc safe from viruses and avoiding them. I will be gaming and watching videos on YouTube, and school/research. Another problem I have is that when I go research stuff websites I go to that have articles and such, give off viruses. Is there someway I can be notified on which sites are threats? I know avg has this feature where it tells you which site is good to go to when searching on google, but I had a bad experience with them for awhile.

Here are the questions:

1) How can I avoid getting a virus on my first pc build? Advice?

2) Do you guys use an anti-virus software to protect you? If so, which software, does it tell me which sites are ok to go in before I enter it, and is it free?

3) if you are a system builder, answer this.

When you did your first pc build, did you ever think you were going to get viruses?

How old were you when you did your build?

Were you just like me, not really being safe protecting your computer from viruses?

And do you have any advice form your experience as a system builder on keeping your pc safe?

Lol. The weirdest thing I had to ask, but seriously I have my parts coming in and I need somewhere to build it. And I was going with:

my room (carpet)

the dinning table (carpet... Crazy right any way)

backyard

so I got a few questions

1) I have an anti-static wrist strap by unlimited cables. How can you tell if it's working?

2) Can I build it in my room, or the dinning room since I have a ant-static wrist strap and it's carpetted?

3) What should I be wearing I usually wear gym type clothes when at home. Lol Should I just where jeans and a normal ol' t-shirt?

4) If I work on it outside, can dust damage my parts?

Thanks for your time, I hope I got all the foolish questions I need written down up there. Lol

I'm really scared about this! Some one help! I got family from In Hawaii too. Do you think it will hit them. :(

Hi I'm building my first pc that will be for gaming. But I can't seem to choose a video card. So For now I'll be using the onboard graphic till I get a video card.

All parts will be bought at Fry's and Newegg.

Frys: case, motherboard, cpu, ram. I will buy these at frys because I didn't want parts that's defective when I get it from newegg.

Questions:

2) I will be using the onboard video till I get the money for the video card, but will it be a problem if I don't have a dedicated video card yet?

3) What do you recommend me getting as a video card? I would like an nvidia gtx 560 but I'm scared if it will bottleneck my CPU, my pc won't recognize it since it's nvidia, and if my psu has enough power. So I would actually like a card that my CPU can handle, a card that my psu can handle, and a card that will work on a amd board.

Note not a big fan of ati. Oh and keep it under $250.

4) Rate my Rig from 1-5? Please, just so I can see if it's decent for my first build?

Will AMD Athlon II x3 450 and MSI GTX 460 twin Frozr II 768mb bottleneck?

I want to build a budget gaming pc (budget is $600-$700 this includes the OS) with a nVdia graphic card. I never liked both AMD Or ATI, but since I'm on a budget and need a computer I decided to go with an AMD build w/ a nvidia graphics. The graphics card I want to use is a GTX 460, I don't care about SLI and all that. All I want to know is can I put an nVidia card into ANY AMD motherboard (a board that has onboard radeon video, or a board that has no onboard ) and have the card run fine without problems?

It would be nice if someone could suggest me a build that has a GTX 460 within my budget including the OS.

Thank for your help.

My problem is that I don't want to get a DOA board.

2) Will the build bottleneck?

3) Is the power supply good? I know everybody says that corsair makes good power supplies, but this isn't an 80+ psu. Is it still good to use? Oh, and since we are on the same topic, is that enough power for the case fans, gpu, etc.? 

4) is this build good for atleast 1 year? Im going to do a powerful build in June of 2012 and wanted this to stay alive till then so I can give this build to my sister.
