/me thinks they were planted by aliens :alien:  

ok i know nothing about computers (specially not windows computers) hardware, prices etc. and now i got an offer from my new uni to be in a project with laptops and stuff, it's limited to a certain numer of people so i might have to react fast...
they want first year Mechanical Engineering students to test a wireless network/internet thing on the uni and they're offering (cheap?) laptops with all the needs for it to 130 students, now i have no idea if it is any good or not
so if i post the stats here mebbe sum1 can say something intelligent about it?

the price for students €1,606.- incl and if i'm in the project the uni will pay €300.- so that'll make it 1,306.-, they claim the shopprice is €3000.-
ow and with that i'll get all my software for my study incl updates and stuff

so advice please?

well i'm glad they think he has a pretty face and don't want to change it... otherwise they'd have to do plastic churgery on the baby :huh:
but i do think they should be ashamed... just saying out loud that you only wanted it because of his nice face and not because of the inside <_<  :sheep:  

we need to expand into barafranca!!!  

ehm i wont be here for the next month because i have a summers job for 40 hours a week
and the rest of the time i'll be playing barafranca, and have beerfests once my parents an lil' brother go on holiday      

IT'S BACK!!! go register now, before it's closed again  
even if you don't really want to play, it's allways good to have back up accounts  

yeah they start to annoy me too... 2 days ago there was a message that they got their servers and they were working on it and it might be on at 21:00 CEST, and now there's still nothing <_<

and after the weekend it'll be done with my free time as i will be working full time, bah!

LOL nice story  

and in the summer 1 year ago in spain we had people across the street on balconies and we used to shoot at each other with BB guns for fun then one of the guys got himself a BB shotgun, but i don't think it shoots any harder then a normal BB gun, i also saw one in a shop there and it had the same price of a normal BB gun, i didn't get it because i found it too big to carry around with...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!

dunno about the wings but i bought a new hammer and it hits twice as hard, so you have to hit the red ones only once

i got to lvl 9 and scored 9875 points on the first one :cool: ... addicting silly games

LOL! i got in the top 10 on the second one, and i didn't even die with it, i was playing for quite some time and never got in any trouble so i got bored and quit as soon as i reached 10k, i only played once what a crappy game

hi both of you!!! school vacations started eh arahen  

i don't really want to move anywhere else, but if i had to i'd prolly choose a city (i can't live in a lil' village or something, it freaks me out, i need people...
i think a city in australia would be a good choice, as you're close to the sea and hot weather (for surfing) there and also close to mountains and snow (for snowboarding)  :cool:
