Isn't it still under warranty? I think that's generally at least 3 years, so if it's 2/3 years old you might get it fixed for free. Otherwise you could try it like that, but I doubt you'll have luck.

The laptop is around 3 years old i believe, not sure on the warranty. I've been reading some info on the Sale of Goods act, apparently my statutory rights give me six years from the date of purchase to make a claim and are in addition to any warranty that came with the laptop. There is more jargon to read so i'm sure there will be a spanner in the works :(.Quote:

Perhaps you should play with your toys more often to prevent them withering away and dying due to disuse.
Given that the laptop is 5 years old it would most likely withered and died regardless of use.Quote:

Stink Bugs! Our weather has been so strange, hot then cold, dry then wet.....these damn bugs are bugging the crap outta me! I read they've been a nuisance on the whole east coast. (Maybe I should be glad they're not Bed Bugs.) These things stink when crushed or irritated, but at least they're visible and don't bite. I thought they'd drown in the toilet water, but they don't. They can swim and fly out! :eek:
Just spent 4 consecutive hours grading tests, and still have work to do for tomorrow. Not fun.
This thread made me realise how wasteful I am when it comes to computers and gadgets. It hardly ever occurs to me to have them repaired; when something starts acting up or breaks down I replace it. Only if something didn't work right from the beginning will I go back to the people who sold it to me.
Poor baby. :(Quote:

I once had it fixed for free with ryanair, but that was well in advance and a couple of years ago. good luck!Quote:

Saw a guy (white, barely 20, in a dirty hoodie) try and make off from the shop with a 12-pack of beer and some ciggies. Without paying, I mean. The security guard actually jogged through the store so he could pin the guy down. Exciting, in calm Fin-land!
Too bad the security guard doesn't have a license to just shoot these kind of low-lives in the back of the neck right then and there, though :( How can our sense of punishment be rewarded without seeing these heinous enemies of the state rectified for their mistakes? If they dare presume themselves superior to the state of Fin-land, surely they should meet with an imminent and visible demise :down: Vengeance is an integral part of any shopping trip!
So what you're saying is that this security guard did not chase down the criminal, tackle him, and then beat him like a Frank Miller comic book antihero would beat a serial-rapist, then go on to become a national hero? What liberal bullshit is this?
I know, right? He made others suffer, financially, so it's only right that he gets to suffer, real proper-like, sodomy here and beatings there, it's all good son. That way we can say that killing people is a just form of punishment; at least that way it ain't cruel nor unusual that they're put down like dogs, because that's far less painful than having them beaten and raped for 40 years. It all works out. Goddamn criminals.
Messes with my groove that no one seems actively posting today, especially after a post like yours, Nessie!
My victim thread is just sitting there.....waiting on armchair philosophers to chime in. Or brave souls who wanna wander into that ether cloud of conversation. Not even one poster telling me how crazy I sound today? Where are the misanthropes and contrarians when needed? All the young hippies must be out making love not war, or clover necklaces, or something.
buh....
A friend of mine in Istanbul mentioned once he thought his sex-life was problematic. We didn't really talk about it further after that. Today we were chatting (texting actually) and he told me that he was planning to find professional help for it. He told me he had sex with 25 people this week alone. I was aware of him being very active in the field. But when he came up with that number I was really shocked.
That's quite a few for one week - he's not a pro, is he?Quote:

You admit it's an unusual number. More than 3 partners a day shocks you. Would one partner a day shock you, too? Is there a magic number where you wouldn't be shocked? Just asking....since this seems to be a numbers game.Quote:

Only if he's had 3 partners a day for a whole year. Is that what he said or what you assumed? Would it be the same thing if he had sex TID with the same partner? Again, is this a numbers game or what? :confused:Quote:

It is not a numbers game, no matter how much you like to make it that.
