Should I buy this laptop?

http://roanoke.craigslist.org/sys/1849995868.html

Sold by an ex of my bff. He added that the processor was core 2 duo, and the comp’s ~2 years old. He’s lowered his offer to me to $350. My top priority in a new computer is speed. My current (old) computer is a Dell Dimension 3000, 1.25GB RAM, Pentium IV 2.8GHz processor. What’s the speed of this used compy compared to mine? Thank yous.

Edit: he deleted the ad, but here is a comp with the same specs, I believe: http://www.amazon.com/Sony-VGN-AR520E-Notebook-1-8GHz-Premium/dp/B002C0MTPK/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1280227322&sr=8-5 His 0 and 1 keys didn’t work, so keyboard would need to be replaced, allegedly 2 years old, and no “free” mouse.

How useful is HTML for website building?

Daniel Plainview Posted:

If you try to build a website using your knowledge of HTML alone, you’ll end up with a website that looks like it was built in 1998… Remember what the web looked like back then? I do.

It takes a LOT of knowledge to build a decent website. Why spend months, even years, learning all of that, when you can pay some Indian company $300 to build it for you in a couple of weeks?

If there are courses focused on building Web CONTENT, not Web Code, or that talk about e-commerce, or online advertising that would far, far more useful to you than learning how to write code.

Okay, I read all the responses on both sites I posted this topic, and I won’t take the course. THX 4 HELP GUYZ

How useful is HTML for website building?

The description for a course, as a business admin. major, that I’m considering taking:

————

Focuses on the basics of HTML with lab work that leads the student through a clear, step-by-step, screen-by-screen approach to learning the language. Students learn how to create a Web page using HTML, format the page, add graphics, and more. Topics include: Introduction to HTML, Creating

and Editing a Web Page, Creating Web Pages with Links, Images, and Formatted Text, and Creating Tables in a Web Site. In the second part of the course, students will build on the basics of HTML and incorporate design principles that can be used with any language.

————

I currently know nothing about writing websites. This would be for if I wanted to build a website for a small business. I gathered from a cousin that HTML is simple and would cost no more than a couple hundred USD to pay someone to put together a site in only that language (in which case I probably wouldn’t take it), but I want more opinions. Thanks.

It's my birthdai

Aside: anyone know what’s up with me getting character max messages on my signature? I had problems yesterday with this, when I had Word count the characters and I was clearly under the 1024 limit. I had to screw around with editing to get it to work without actually removing any of the quotes, it was weird. My sig now sort of blends in with my post entries, so I’m just trying to create some space at the top. So, anyone else deal with bogus signature-too-long messages? Kthx.

It's my birthdai

I wanted to post so I could feel vindication of my importance, while subtly implying that I don’t get much of that IRL through posting this request on an Internet message bored. (lol i said “bored” instead of..). So, go ahead wish me happy birthday (Sept. 3) or say mean funny things :-)

Best roommate ever [for men]?

1337xxxxxxxxxlolololololololololxxxxxxxxx1337 Posted:

It’s a troll written to be every aspie internet nerd’s dream girl. She has every single quality that some 30 year old virgin WoW player would possibly desire. Cute, barely legal, kind of nerdy, eager to please and serve in any way, despite how wonderful she makes herself out to be she has absolutely no standards of her own. Right.

She rules out morbidly obese people, picks a random-bum city in Toronto, and says no intercourse. Adding those things up doesn’t equate to bull**** to me. “Barely legal”? She never gave her age. Considering 70’s her upper limit, that she apparently doesn’t get a lot of attention, and she’s secure enough to make this request (bumuming it’s not bull****), I’d guess ~40.

While I wouldn’t entirely rule out the possibility it’s a troll, I think it’s much more likely it’s a scammer; someone who’d move in and steal your **** or otherwise do something ****ed up. I’m not saying that’s likely, just that it’s a fair possibility, while that it’s a troll is a slim one. Would be a good idea to at least do a background check, possibly having a professional look into her past.

Do you feel lonely or empty? – 18

Date: 2007-06-16, 2:51AM EDT

Because I can change that completely. I don’t care how old you are, or how attractive you are, because I’ll like you anyway. Genuinely like you. I like most people. Seriously. My cut-off age is like… let’s say seventy. That’s a bit too old. Below that is fine. Fat is welcome, but I have to say morbidly obese grosses me out. Obesity is defined as being 30 pounds overweight, and I’m fine with that, but I’m afraid the seriously overweight won’t do. Sorry. Best of luck on losing weight to those people, though. Uhm. I’m not sure how to begin explaining what I want, or if this is in the appropriate section. I’ll post it to a few other sections that are related just in case.

But, to begin with, I suppose I need to say I’m looking for a man who wants the company of a cute young woman on a regular basis. I’m not currently in Toronto, but I’m looking to move there, hopefully by the end of July. I don’t want to live alone, and instead of moving there then looking for roommates, I want to go from point a to b right away. B being with a guy who’ll enjoy my company. My regular company and my romantic company. A live-in boyfriend type, you could say.

This is going to sound desperate, because it is, but I don’t care if you have roommates, or if you live in a small house/apartment. I’ll sleep on the floor, the couch, the bathtub, or with you if you like. I’m not picky and I don’t complain. I’m totally humble, meek, and unobtrusive. But some say quite funny. You don’t have to take me out or celebrate anniversaries like you do with people you date. I would feel more comfortable if it was more low-key and laid back. Cause it’s more comfortable that way, right? I don’t expect you to exclusively see me; I’m not a big supporter of monogamy, so see as many other girls you like. If you just want a girl to live with and not be romantic with, that’s fine too. I won’t be insulted. And I’m quite quiet, so you won’t even know I’m there, really. I don’t really have any bad habits. I’m not addicted to drugs, alcohol, cigarettes, but I’m not uptight, I don’t care if other people use them. I think people can make their own decisions. I also don’t eat much. So basically, I’m cheap and easy. I do wish that didn’t make me sound bad.

So, the thing is, I don’t have a lot of money. I’m actually pretty poor, but as soon as I move, I’ll get a job. I’ll get three jobs, swear. If I don’t you can kick me out and I’ll live on the streets until I get one. I’m easy to get rid of if you change your mind. I’m not a leech. I’m very independent. This move is actually me trying to balance out having independence without isolating myself. Because I’m alone all the time. I can’t take it. So I need someone to take me in. Like a pet. Well, except you don’t have to feed me or clean up after me or pay attention to me. I guess more like a house plant? A cactus, maybe? I dunno. I suppose I’m cactus-like. But cuter.

I’m completely serious. I know someone out there must feel lonely, and wish there was a nice girl to come home to, to talk to or care about them. I’ll do the cooking and the washing-up. All the housework as well as work at as many jobs I can handle. All the money goes to rent, bills, etc. It’s like having a roommate or a live-in girlfriend but without the stress. I won’t cause stress, promise. I’ll relieve stress on a regular basis. I give great mbumages, head rubs, hand jobs, blow jobs. Did I really just put that? Yeah. You won’t be getting nothing out of this. I’m very appreciative to anyone who would let me stay with them. But I’m not a whore. I’m actually a virgin. Those things I mentioned, yeah, I’ll do them, as often as you like, but I won’t go all the way. Weird phobia, I guess. But that’s why I don’t care if you go around with other girls. I understand men have needs, and I can only do so much to meet them. It’s not normally a one-woman job. Hence why monogamy doesn’t always work out.

Anyways, if you do feel lonely, but don’t know if I’m a good match for you, reply back and I’ll answer any questions. I guess I can give a little personal info here; I hope you find it useful. I like Doctor Who, Black Books, Bright Young Things and Snatch. Neil Gaiman is my hero, and I like a lot of bad music, so I won’t list that here. I love comics, or graphic novels. I’m new to them, but I really like Gaiman, Warren Ellis, and Alan Moore. I read x-men scans off the internet. So, basically, I guess I’m a huge geek. I’m 1337, but I can’t fix your computer. I know a little french, but not enough to hold a conversation in it. Hopefully I can brush up on it in Canada. One of the reasons I want to live in Canada is because I love cold weather. I’m sure I’ll complain about it come winter, but I miss it, having been in North Carolina for thirteen years. I come from up north though, New York, near the border to Canada. So I don’t have a southern accent; the only time you’ll here me say y’all is to say that I never say y’all.

((Also, if you need more pictures, let me know. I have bajillions of them. Body shots are hard to get; I always suffer from slightly-out-of-focus or head-cut-off ness. You can see those of course, but for those curious now, here are my stats: 36 bust, 27 waist, 36 hips; hair: orange; eyes: green; height: 5’6’’; weight: 130; athletic: engages in track, lacrosse, kick boxing, and softball. I can kick bum, but I choose not to, because I’m pbumive, and I know violence isn’t right. I don’t yell. I don’t have a bad temper at all, despite what you’ve heard about redheads. I’m an optimist. Some people find that surprising due to how much black I wear.))
