hmmmm.... naww... woudn't cheat, would I? ; ) hahaha
yeah i really meant that :)
There are a lot of girls on our forum. But it looks like no one's awake at 6-7am. ;D
Rather strange XB, i thought everyone would be up early ;-D
They're all probably going to work or school or something. Like me, I have to go to work soon. Whee.
Actually, I would think that getting a gender stat would be possible. Couldn't you just pull a tally of the gender flags in the database? You'd at least get everyone who actually specified the gender thing, anyway. :)
Peace & Luv, LIz
Yes but this way we dont have to do the work ;D, the members do the work for us :D
yeahhh... that would be the easy way, this way it's far more fun. besides, you can nowsee what the gender of the active members are....
....well, that could also be pulled out the d'base i think
More girls than boys! w00t on a stick! :D
boys are gonnaaaa looooooseeeeee :P
You were saying? <3
Oooo tied again! :suffer:
Let me break that for you... 8)
yay! *happeh dances*

ok i just signed up as TicklemePink ::)
Well, about no one being up between 6 & 7 o'clock, depends really on the time zone, right? Right now, in the Central Time Zone, it's 6:33 am. And yes, as you can see, I'm up...have class though in about an hour.
Cat
Everymale vote or die in a boat :suffer:
It was a joke ;), not the vote part ;P, the die part ;-D
OMG BOYS... CONSIDER YOURSELF OWNED!!!!!!!!!!!! :P
lol, see? girls RULE in these forums! :)
naww.... only 11 people voted.... the other 400 are men.... they just don't know it... yet ; )
Now, now, no re-registering and voting! That's cheating, we want real results here people. :P
besides, why complain? So you're in a forum filled with a bevy of beautiful intelligent ladies? What's so bad about that?? :lovegoggles:
....hmmm, it's not really cheating bacause most people here have multi personalities, so they could vote for each of theirs... I can't help it if they are all male ; )
...but you do have a good point there.... 'bout all the beautifull ladies ; ) that is not a bad thing... i'll guess... hmmm.... have to think 'bout it though ; ) ...cuz you know what they Say 'bout beautifull and intelligent ladies....
More girls than boys :O
Quote from: B'rrr on March 10, 2004, 08:36:17 AM...cuz you know what they Say 'bout beautifull and intelligent ladies...
...that they're 100 times more fun than beautiful and ditzy ladies? (hopeful look)
Peace & Luv, Liz
hahahaha.... there is nothing wrong with hope.... just keep on hoping ; )
and hey boys... remember, girls are always right :) lol ;P
btw jeysie, I dont give a fukz what you think about you lol, you and storm are freaking beautifulz in my eyes :) lol I even sound gay saying it but I dont care hahah :D
I guess the (other) males are all too busy showing off elsewhere to post their vote on this thread. :-[
but I wonder who has really voted around here cuz not many ppl have replied as well, I think?
I've only seen you bob, racx, rob, I think alex also voted and who else voted?
Intelligent Ladies are Better ;B
Are they.... hmmm... not sure.... better has nothing to do with intelligence, ..at least not for me ; )
yes well every1 has their own opinions ;D
I've voted Say!
Cat
oh I know Im not complaining about the girls vote but I thought they were more guys lol :P
anyhow... GIRLS RULE! *happeh dances* :P

Peace & Luv, Liz
uh-oh.... I think I just hurt an intelligent woman ; ( ...didn't meant to honestly... I just wanted to say that a 'better' woman is not measured by their intelligence (ie. the more intelligent the better doesn't work for me).
True I do get very frustrated when talking to a simpleminded woman (or men for that sake... ; ) 'bout a 'heavy' subject. but even if you might have better conversations with a more intelligent woman doesn't mean she's better...
She could be though,.... but then again she could be very boooooring and dul and... see what I mean, better isn't the result of just one factor (intelligence).
hope you feel any better now ; )
Well, I *am* boring and dull... nothing wrong with the truth. ;) But thank you for clarifying... your sentiment does make me feel better.
Peace & Luv, Liz
I notice that people often have a bad selfperception ; ) some may they think they are better then they are and others think they are less
...hahaha, I mean , you say you're boring and dul... well that could be... for you. But others may disagree.
other examples:
Mango thinks she is sane ; )
Say thinks she's fugly
What one person thinks is boring might not be so to someone else. thus the *truth * is often viewed from a certain point of view...
You guys are used to listening to me babble in here, where you don't have to post unless you have something to say. In RL, and in real-time stuff, I'm pretty quiet and low-key. In RL, Harrison's always the one with the cool stories and witty comments... I'm just sorta in the background.
But yeah, maybe my self-perception's a little skewed. The problem is that nothing I do/say ever comes out the way it was in my head... so maybe it's still "good enough", but it's not "perfect/right" like it would be if I could get my imaginings to come out the way I want them to. :P
Peace & Luv, Liz

For example:

You tell it like it issssssssss :D
Quote from: MangoMercury on March 11, 2004, 09:36:01 AM
You tell it like it issssssssss :D
lol, Dr. Phil? ;P
I'm very much the same way, Jeysie. In real life, I'm extremely quiet and low profile. I only feel comfortable around people that I know or have something in common with so there's something to actually talk about. I kinda envy all those good story-telling people, cuz I never have any interesting stories to tell. :P
Plus, there are a lot of times where I too can't express something perfectly or as elequently as I hear it in my head. It's pretty annoying and frustrating when you can't get an idea across, but I think that's just something I'll get better and better at the more I do it.
Online, it's a lot easier, because you have more time to respond, fix mistakes easily and even go back and re-read something that was said in case you didn't understand something the first time. In RL, you just have to ask the person again and again to clarify which is irritating for both people.
Ok I think I just went off-topic. :P What I was trying to say is that intelligence has many forms and is measured in many ways. I personally would find a simple-minded woman to be just as boring and dull as an extremely smart one. Probably moreso, because I could at least learn something from the smart one. :P
hmmm... guess we are already off topic since it isn't 'bout genders anymore ; )
I just wanted to say that if I was very intelligent I would likely to be more attracted to a very inteligent person. But if I was very simple minded I would hate that cuz the diffrence would be too big.
My point is that I'd be more comforteble to someone with the same level of intelligence. ...hahaha, you could say that how greater the diffrence is the more comfortable I would feel.... well that's not completely true cuz diffrence is what makes person intresting.
but that's why a 'better' person isn't bout how intelligent someone is or how boring (or not) someone is for there are many conceptions of 'better' ; )
hahaha ; ) hope you understand what I mean, cuz that would mean someone would ; ) Racx why did you ever posted this ; ) lol
Quote
Intelligent Ladies are Better
btw I don't really agree with you guys that it's easier online then ofline... cuz it gives me way too much time to think everything over... and over again. In RL I just say it.... and then pay the price... but it's said and done ; )
I voted! ;B
Sorry, B'rrr, I guess I was just feeling a little defensive. It seems like every guy I've been interested in just doesn't like me, and it's usually 'cause they're not attracted to intelligent women. (And it's *intelligent* guys that I'm usually attracted to! :P ) Even my ex-boyfriend said he found my smarts to be intimidating. :-\
Peace & Luv, Liz
hmmmm.... guess some people want a not so intelligent person, to find themself smart ; )
Heh, maybe. Still, it sucks. :( I can't go for... uh... "average-brained" guys, either, 'cause then when I try to talk to them their eyes glaze over from trying to understand me.
It *sucks* being the "walking computer". :( :P
Peace & Luv, Liz
personally, I hate to be a bit extreme on it, but I do like smart guys, period, not smart a.sses lol but yes smart guys, even if they are specialized in a field, I find it extremely exciting a guy has a passion, personality and at least knows about something, I hate to admit there is nothing more dull than a brainless pretty face :(, its just a pretty face and nothing more, find more points to click and you may succeed, find minimal conection dots and attempt to fail, I think.
hmmm guess it would... well then you just have to find someone that can program you ; )
lol, I think I know already who :P
wanna share? ...who is it? ...I just love lovestories ; ) ...I mean gossip ; )
LMAO, who do YOU think it is?! :o lol
I don't know!! if i did, I didn't had to ask you.... did I ; ) .... so be a good girl and spoil it for me wil ya ; )
lolstfuyoudoknow :P
could you please articulate Say... I can't understand a thing ; )
and I don't know... ; ) hahaha, Say *winks* you could whisper it to me ; )

*runs away*

DISQUALIFIED. ;D
I must Terminate B'rrr :-], who was registered on February 25, 2004, 01:56:48 am :-|
ok, go ahead!! ....I don't mind, cuz I registerd 6 hours later ...in a different timeframe ; )
so killing him would have no effect on me ; )
I must Terminate B'rrr :-], who was registered on February 25, 2004, 07:56:48 am :-|
wtf?! when did I program him lol :P
<re-programs>
turn into yourself and no hurting lubly brrr :)
</end of re-program>
there, its all good now :P
*hugz everyone*
<sigh> ...always had a soft spot for female programmers ; )
I don't know.... can you programm?? ; )
Oh, I see, so I dont so you h8 me now, FINE *cries*
didn't Say that ; ) ...but if you'd like i could teach you *winks* only takes 3 hours to learn
(...and why do I follow my education for 3 years?? ; )
well I would love to learn ;P
I can code, but only web :P
good enough for me ....hahaha ; )
what language would you like to learn to start with, and would you like to learn object oriented (takes a half hour extra ; ) or not??
Whoa, get a room!
Or at least your own private thread, lol.
We already have ; ) ...but's kinda invaded by others ; )
Hey, they don't have to get a room now... I've always wanted to learn programming too, so maybe I can pick up a few bits of info. ;D
Peace & Luv, Liz
<sigh> you two reminds me when I was young and enthousiastic... that was before I learned programming ; / ...so be careful what you girls ask for ; ) hahahaha
(brave look) I survived retail, I can survive programming!
Peace & Luv, Liz
<sigh> ....guess you are brave aren't you... oh well ; ( it's a shame though. But if you really want to I could teach you (or try at least ; )
I can program pretty well, myself. :) Of course, I can only program DOS programs right now, Windows is tricky to learn how to program in. :P
hmmm.... well windows programming isn't all that hard to learn. because most tools make it easy for you to make a interface.
all you have to do is program the rest and the help for most language is very extensive so you can find a lot of help there and on the internet are lots of standard solutions to find. All you have to do is modify it to suit your needs, and if/when you get some experience, you can do without it.
It is getting harder if you want to program something unusual ; ) ....hahaha, but then again only new stuff is worth programming, cuz the rest is too easy (once you get the hang of it, that is ; )

mhaa... I'll just use one of my other comps and format the one with the virus (in case I can't get rid of him otherwise ; )
i hate you >:(, always ruining my plans ;D, did i tell you i was let out of the Asylum for being sane ;D, stopped talking to myself ;B
hmmm.... you were?? I noticed that you said you were sane, never noticed CC releasing you ; )
it's a good thing you're not talking to yourself anymore, but that doesn't mean you are insanity-free ; ) ...i'll just wait for CC's evaluation.
im kinda being tested, you see cc is watching to see if i make any slips or not so at the moment i cant even joke around :(, but i cant believe i was talking to myself, now thats weird :D
so you're on probation, are you? (or you think you are ; )
hmmm.... guess there are ways to provoke you ; )
*thinks of a great make-racx-look-insane-again plan*
....nawww, guess I woudn't have to do that, you'll probably won't be able to hold your 'sane' status for long ; )
i have been sane once i can do it again ;), whats the time where you are ???
12:19 PM

(chuckle) I don't see anything wrong with getting mad at someone you don't feel is pulling their weight. Goodness knows I've had to cover the asses of enough deadbeats in my time in the working world.
Peace & Luv, Liz
Congratulation. Happy happy happy. Yay. ;D
Well, for someone who claims to not be annoyed, you sound annoyed. ;) <3
Peace & Luv, Liz
Heh, I'd be really annoyed myself. I hate it when there's one slacker in groupwork that never knows what's going on, or could screw up everyone's grade from a silly thing like that. :-\
Of course, being the slacker in a group is fun cuz u have everything done for you. ;P Still though, I'm the kind of person that would do whatever I could to try to do well on a project. If I suck at something, I usually delegate it to someone who's good at it. ;D
I do? well maybe I am a little, hes nagging me online right now lol, OMFGHELP :P :D

I never did that in my life, I absolutly hate it because to let others do that always meant I used to get lower grades than I usually do, Im a TRUE nerd in that sense Im a horrible demanding director a strong boss (poor neil ;P) and yes I have a hard time trusting people which have no skills, Im one of the top 3 students in my class and thats because I always lead all my projects and such. Honestly, I never could do that (yes I did try) but I always got the worse lame ass grades :P to me a %60 is to freak out lol :P seriously lol, I used to be worse, now I dont care, I settle for a %70 :P lol ;P

Oh, I'd only delegate stuff that I know they're good at and I'm not. For example, we had a database group project last term with a group of 5 people (myself included). Myself and the group leader worked on the UML diagram ... erm basically the conceptual design of how the thing will work, someone else worked on the actual coding since they were really good at that, all of us did the queries (another step of the project). I wouldn't want to even touch the coding since I didn't know any PHP or SQL at the time. ;D
There was one dude that didn't submit the queries, so in the final project we just left them blank for his name, :P and when we were presenting it to the prof the group member mentioned how the slacker didn't submit his in time. I don't think the prof really cared, but oh well. ;D
The nice thing was that our mark didn't rely on the slacker's and the prof really loved our project! :)
Say, you did great and with your thesis and I hope the jury would think that too. Please don't feel bad 'cuz of your partner... enjoy your time (even if it's hard) because you just made an excellent performance and even if your school don't recognize it we would (at least I ; )
*gives Say a cheer-up-hugz*

<sigh> I have that all the time, other people tend to drain my grade ...it's just hard if it happends on an important grade ; (
I'm glad I do my final project alone, so I'm the one that is responsible and it's not dependable on other people's work ; /
thnx
btw he achieved to depress me, heck to offend for over 3 hours in a row kind of fuking gets to you eventually
poor Say, good luck with ur thesis ;B
Or at least with defending it...right racx? Say, don't worry TOO much about it...he's just being difficult. But I don't understand why he would take his problems out on you!
Cat
yeah, thanks for your kinds words, really, they mean a world for me.

right Cat
And the reason hes taking it out on Say is because he has no one else to take it out on :-\, well he probably tried his pillow but that doesnt respond well ;B
Actually i should properly explain why hes taking it out on you but i cant remember exactly what i learnt :-\
Last year i went to a course called Youth Opportunities which is a self leadership program, which teaches you what it really means to be successful and how you build self confidence. It was also based on building leadership skills, building self esteem and building confidence.
It was a really good program but i seem to have miss placed my brain so at the moment i cant explain exactly why hes taking it out on you :suffer:
as I was talking with rob moments ago, the main problem is not to get the thesis done, give in and from now I can totally relax (I wish it would be like that) the problem is that right now is when the hardest comes from me, I have meetings coming and the defense, and i will not only have to put up with him but the gf and my mom will also be around... I'll explain the situation a bit.
My concern are the personal problems that have been crashing from one side to another, because my mom I think its the only aware of all the bullsh*it and crap im going though regarding this, as well as he does hates me I have no doubt of that just for the sake he did part of what he had to hes bitching, hes at a constant whim and what he wants? a cookie? its his thesis too he has to work there is no other way around it, I've worked my ass off since Thesis I and now on Thesis II he does one minimal s*** and he wants a celebration or something, so I bet he has his side of the story, as well as so they may his mom and his ridiculous gf, so the things are horrible between us, he cant talk to me without offending and insulting me, I personally dont feel like picking up on a fight 24/7 so he may insult me all he want now and he may act like the plain a****** he is, Im just not going to reduce to his level on this case, I have no intention to actually, he has hurt me (after hours of insulting eventually it gets to you) but Im not going to start a flame war there is still more to go which apparently he just seems to miss out of perspective, so the fact to even talk to him about thesis without him insulting me is truly an effort, cuz he always does since monday now, and my mom knows and is not very much pleased even though I told her to get the fukz out of it, same with I asume his mom and his gf which have lead to get in the way many many times and I have no idea how he can even allow that to happen, maybe he likes the backup cuz he doesnt have the balls himself, I personally dont know dont care, so, talking all that together to the fact that we still need to prepare the defense... and being there that day all together... yes, Im scared it may turn into a big ugly horrible day honestly, because if something happens my mom will always be my mom and his mom will always be his mom and so related, defense is a special day when you can invite in at least 2 family relatives on each side and 3 friends, so I know from his side he will consider his and I will consider mine, it is important to them so I dont care, they may go, but you know, my point is the bigger troubles are yet ahead.
So its not time to relax, its time to become emotionless and completly cold inside to not let get this to me, it is not going to be easy but Im looking foward to get the fukz out of this s*** once and for all.
Dang. :S How long does the defense go on for?
the defense is actually one day, its a debate of 1 hour exactly, its like you all sit down in a big table and you get asked question from the jury, for an hour :S
Ah, I see. Here's hoping that one hour doesn't feel like five hours. ;)
it may even feel like a month, the problem is the waiting while this whole thing, and the adminstrative meetings with the correctors and stuff, oh well.
Don't worry Say, allow us, your friends at the KQ IX-community, to be there for you, and make sure you don't break down completely during this stressful time. No that I think you need it per sé, but I think it's better for your emotional state to hang around here on a regular base. 8)
Yes!! as often as you can!! ; ) ...no wait! you have to sleep enough and eat good and... <sigh>
hahaha, just take care ; )
That's really sweet of you guys, really thanks.
I do admit to hang around here and share this with all of you has helped me out a lot, it is a personal thing but it is certainly an important one, and sometimes the feedback is important, sort of like in this case.
I do feel like Im going to break down at times, because it isnt easy to be "the bigger person" 24/7 when all you had has been nothing but a bad experience thus far regarding such an important feature of your life, which you just consider better to move along to get your goals rather than to stop for inconvenients, the problem is, those "inconvenients" are rather strong and they are freaking tearing me apart at times, because seriously, it doesnt matter that you ocasionally get 1 insult but to get them constantly over stupidity (even if hes nervious, stupid, whatever) is extremely stressful even though if I may or may not be nervious/stressed myself, it is kind of rude and particulary awful to put up with something like this, I do try to keep things in order and peace because Im so busy I cant afford to discuss stupid bull for over hours with him when he doesnt even listens to me, I just need to be strong yes, but it is hard sometimes and Im glad at least I have friends here whom I can share this to and care, so honestly from the bottom of my heart thank you, this means the world to me.
Maybe you could explain something to me. In one of the previous posts I seem to recall you saying you have been placed in some sort of 'special group' because you're so smart. So if you've been teamed up with someone else to do your thesis, I'd think he'd have been chosen because he's so smart too. This doesn't correlate with the fact he's being so difficult about having to do one part out of four. ???
I don't know what Say will say, but I what I think is that smart does not mean lazy. He may be really smart, but lazy b/c he really doesn't want to do it. (I am not meaning lazy in a bad way--right now it's the only word I can think of to describe what I'm trying to say---maybe slacker, or something like that??)

Still, he must not have been lazy or a slacker before he got into that special group, because I don't think you'd be let into that group if you were just smart.
Well, my schools didn't have any special "smart" groups. Anway, I'm not book-smart, I'm just smart in general. I think I have a good work ethic, I have social skillks to work in the team and I know how to apply the snippets of knowledge I still know by heart.
I breezed through elementary school, secondary school was a bit harder, and in college I studied on and out of school.
I'm pretty similar to you too Jeysie. I prefer working alone, but when I have to do things in groups I'm ready for it. The nice thing about group work is that most of the time you're surrounded with competant individuals. :) So, they not only could do the task as well as you, they might even do things better (this happens way more during university, than high school or elementary).
The major advantage is that you spend less time working on the assignment, because others work on an equal share of it. The disadvantage is when there's a slacker in the group and everyone else has to pick up their share. And as you said, there are often disagreements with group work because everyone has their own idea in their mind of what they think is "best". ;D
LOL! XD I have the exact same work ethic. When I'm working for someone I'm in this "super hard worker" mode where I try really hard to solve problems to the best of my ability in the most efficient and effective manner. Unfortunately, depending on the task I could become a perfectionist so after a certain period of time I have to say to myself "That's it! Stop right here" or I would be improving and improving forever.
When I'm not in that mindset, I become an "extreme slacker" that doesn't want to move, think or do anything that requires much energy. ;D It's really interesting because I can't stay entirely in one mode or the other.. otherwise I'd go completely insane. I also can't be in both modes at the same time...
...Actually, when I do KQ9 stuff I think I'm in both modes at the same time. I fluctuate between having fun and hard work, and it's such a nice balance! No wonder I'm addicted to this place! !!!

Heh. I think there's a third possible disadvantage as well... one I'm running into at work right now, in fact. It can best be summed up as "the blind leading the blind". Namely, we all want to do a certain thing, and we want to work hard, but we don't collectively possess all the knowhow necessary. :P
The details would just get too long, but suffice it say that it combines the dubious skills of two managers trying to do marketing/advertising stuff who seem to me to not have received real training in it (they know some advance basics, but not really enough for what they're planning, IMHO), and a file clerk who has somehow found herself as a sort of "office computer guru", despite the fact that any person with real computer know-how would laugh at her being described as such. :P
Peace & Luv, Liz
Hee, oops, maybe some details would help. (Yeah, I was awake at 3AM again. Go neighbors! ::) )
For one, this is a teeny company, about 15 people, most of whom have been there for years. The people trying to do this are the "head honchos". (The president and his vice-president, basically.)
For two, we're not really doing broad advertising, we're doing an e-mail newsletter. We've done some brainstorming to figure out what to put in a newsletter, but we sort of ended up with a consensus of, "Well, we'll wing it." :P
The biggest issue is the tech stuff. We have this sales database program thingy. Basically we want to take the address and company info that people who visit our website put into our feedback forms, and make a database of that. Problem is, I know it's technically feasible to pull the feedback info into a flagged text file to import into the database. I just have no idea technically how to set that up. Our website is run by an off-site contracted company, for one. For two, I don't know much about web database stuff yet anyway. So we figured, OK, we'll just read the feedback e-mails from within the database program, and I'll copy them in manually. I actually got that figured out, only to figure out that the program has no way of sending through a secure server, which sort of defeats the purpose. Argh. So now I guess I'd have to figure out how to hook it into Outlook.
Of course, the whole reason we bothered using the database program to begin with was because nobody knew how to use Outlook for mass mailings where there was no way for the recipients to see each other's address, or accidentally reply to each other. (If you use BCC, I think that everyone can actually receive a person's reply, if the replying person is doofy enough to use "Reply all".)
Add into this the fact that my station is running Win95, and the database needs Win98, so I have to work with the program on someone else's station, which is only available to me for about a half-hour each day. Yech.
Problem is, I'm seriously the one in the office with the most computer knowledge. Everyone else either treats their computer like a "mysterious black box that works when I push the right buttons and say incantations" or there are a couple people slightly lower than me in computer knowledge. And they're too cheap... uh, I mean, cost-effective to call their computer people to figure it out.
I mean, I'm not dumb... I could teach myself the skills they need IF I had a few weeks to tinker for a few hours a day, and stuff. In fact, I would like to teach myself web and off-line databasing and stuff at some point anyway. But, I mean, learning in a half-hour a day, with nobody more knowledgable to ask for help (without paying a few appendages), when I'm supposed to be just an $8.50/hour *file clerk* anyway? It's a little frustrating. :P
Peace & Luv, Liz
Why hasnt anbody else posted their gender ???, cos i wanted to see the females win and the males lose XB
to answer to bob here, the "special smart group" lol doesnt exist, is more like who asked and got granted that privilegue I asked and I got granted, sounds horrible, but hes not that much of a good student, hes a smart guy but too much of a slacker and mediocre, plus is the ONLY ONE at my class that can handle this subject (ecommerce and ebussiness) hence the rest of the class doesnt even knows anything webdesign related.
Anyhow, good news, I gave in thesis on wednesday, and they were going to check it out if it goes for april or july... guess what, I already even got a date!! I defend April 26th at 4:00 pm! yikes :)
I still need to see how are the administrative meetings with the jury and the thesis office, about the previous corrections from the document by the jury (they do have the final word besides the administrative office anyways), so let's hope it all goes good and I can totally just go and defend and do good :)
Im like super happy... stressed out and anxious and stuff... lol :)
congratulations Say ;B, knew you could do it XD
omg thankies :)
now... the REAL stress begins ;P
Im behind you all the way ;D, or am i in front of you ???, you know what i mean :D
you are WITH me :P lol <3
and thankies, really its been awful lately :( I feel like I have noone's support but here, which is odd hahaha I never thought something like that would happen :P but hey, Im glad ;) makes me feel lucky
well i was doing bad in school this year and the other day i became a nerd again !!!
So i did all my work and caught up on work but for some reason the teacher didnt like my work and failed me so now i have to repeat year 11 :'(
nah we dont have that option :-\ :'(, cwap, s*** :'(
well now that sucks, are you ok about it? :-\
well by the time next year comes around ill have a choice either repeat or go onto night school and/or college
I already congratulated ya Say XD but I'll say it again here! WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE! !!! OMGCONGRATZWTF! <3
That sucks Racx. Hmm but isn't grade 11 a part of high school? Did you fail that one class or really the whole year? :-\ How much did you fail by? If it wasn't a lot, you could try going to the teacher and ask him why you didn't get any marks for certain parts. Sometimes it would help to have your parents talk to the teacher instead.
Jeysie, I'm not sure you're correct about the Reply to All button in Outlook. If all addresses are BCC'd, they don't appear anywhere in the recipient's e-mail headers, so there's no way for them to see the e-mail addresses. I just tried the Reply to All in Outlook on a few e-mails I've both sent out and received with BCC'd addresses and none of the hidden addresses appear. Only the To e-mail of the original sender.
hahahaha... just tried that myself too ; ) and I didn't got any mails I when using reply all (at bcc adresses)
....sorry that you have to repeat a year Racx ; ( ...isn't there anything you can do? like Yonkey said... did you talked to your teacher.
at the moment its just the subject i failed but within 40 hours it could be the whole year that i failed :-\
(UN)OFFICIAL ANOUNCEMENT!!
from now on this poll is sssssstickeey!! ...there are only 14 votes thus far and there are like 425 members (now) ...I hereby ask, no... beg! that the other 400 member vote here!!
everyone who just registerd please vote!! every guest who read this post please register and vote (I think you get the message ; )
We would encourage you to post something too ; )
thank you!! ; )

Well, I wasn't worried about the addresses showing up, so much as... if you get a message with BCC addresses, and you reply with "reply all", does only the sender get the reply, or does everybody get the reply? (I could swear I remember reading a web book with an e-mail section that warned about that sort of thing.)
Edit: Yep, I did some googling, and I remembered right... there are several places that warn that if someone does a "reply to all" on a BCCd message, everyone will get the reply. Since many of our customers are competitors with each other, this would be a problem. :P
And Racx... don't you guys have summer school? There was a few times where I nearly failed a grade due to skipping school all the time (don't ask, it's a long story, I'll just say it had to do with depression), but I managed to just barely pass by taking summer school courses. Kinda sucked, but it's not like I had anything better to do with the summer months anyway.
Peace & Luv, Liz
CC: Go to town:
http://www.google.com/search?q=e-mail+reply+all+bcc&sourceid=opera&num=100&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8 (http://www.google.com/search?q=e-mail+reply+all+bcc&sourceid=opera&num=100&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8)
At any rate... IIRC, my schools were based on credits, meaning you had to pass a certain number of credits per year to go up a grade. You also during your time at the school had to cover a given number of required courses and prerequisites before you could graduate. Like, so many years of English, and so many years of Science, and at least so many "levels" of each, etc. There were three different paths you could take... Fine Arts, Music, and Academics.
So if you were doing poorly for some reason, you had an option to go to summer school either to up your passed credit level over the required number, or take care of a missed/failed prerequisite to make your next year scheduling easier, or both.
Peace & Luv, Liz
I went to several of the links on the google search page and still haven't found one that says explicitly that the Reply to All will reply to BCC addresses.
I read this:
QuoteIf you clicked Reply All, all of the email addresses listed in the header of the original message will be listed as well.
But if you open an e-mail that was sent to you containing BCC'd addresses, you'll notice the BCC'd addresses don't exist in the message header.
I think the Reply to All will only send copies to each address that appears in the To and CC fields (email addresses that are listed in the message headers) but I don't think it's possible to see or reply to a BCC'd e-mail address.
Actually, I've just found a few more pages saying that Reply to All will only send copies to the e-mails in the To and CC fields. I don't think there would be any point of having a Blind Carbon Copy field if you were able to view/extract the addresses in it. :P
Hmm. If that's true, it would make life a bit easier. I have a few screennames on my ATT account I only use for the storage space, so I can test it out with some dummy messages.
Peace & Luv, Liz

Nope, there is no such thing as summer school in Australia :'(
"Other"... doesn't that suit so many of us?
I was going to put Other but Say wouldnt allow me :'(
LOL! "Other" :-X
i even tried to prove my point of putting other in there by telling her about the woman in Naked Gun The Final Insult ;D, by telling her this she said "that it is not possible to have to peepee holes so dont put it" :'(
I think we should have ;B
lol, I so didnt say that hahaha
you did ;), and to prove it im gonna find the page and link it up to show every1 ;P

Anyway, fully-functional hermaphrodites are very rare. Usually they have an operation to be either male or female (whichever they're closest to), so that's what they'll have to vote :P

Quote from: Storm on March 28, 2004, 04:01:12 PMThey could go by the chromosomes... there can't be any duality there :-\
If not from the chromosomes, then from what does that duality in appearance stem?
Mutations, hormonal influences in the uterus and such. When it comes to gender chromosomes, you either have XX (female) or XY (male). Or you could get XYY (super male) or XXX (super female) or XXY (can't remember that one... biology class was a long time ago). But IIRC, gender is determined by the no. of X chromosomes rather than the presence of Y's.
i did it last year and i can bearly remember it :-\

HAHAHAHAH! :suffer: Oh yeah! I forgot completely about Rob's transvestite phase. XD
what is there to be ashamed of anyhow? being a girl is the best thing that could ever happen to a guy... :P lol
well, that's not entirely true.... but you're free to believe that if you want to ::)
:stabs: Neils smiley
Gordon Bennet, the furious passion some of you people are throwing into this thread is unbelievable!
I would post some of my (extremely comprehensive) theories on the differences between male/female thinking in the context of my character analysis templates but that would take up to much room here! (believe it or not but they prove to be surprisingly accurate!)
In my operational experience, Ladies have always proven to provide vastly superior emotional counselling than blokes and I personally prefer to talk to Ladies in general (and no, it's not for the purposes of chatting them up! I'm an ugly git so they would simply laugh me off! The actual reason is that they tend to be able to converse much better on complex topics with me than other blokes I know.)
BTW, "Ladies" are in italics for the simple reason that in my definition, a lady is a female who is not viscious, spiteful, out to kill you for the slightest "mistake", not slavishly devoted to her image but is the total opposite and is proud to be who she is. :)
Phew, I best not type anymore before a draw anymore flak!
I think that it does a world of good for a person of a given gender to get in touch with the side of them that is the gender they're not. ;)
As for "lady"... for me personally, that term always denoted a sense of high class... a woman who is well-mannered, polite, well-spoken, genteel, graceful, elegant, well-educated, etc. Not pretentiously so or as a poseur, however.
Peace & Luv, Liz
Thanks Jeysie! :)
As for the lady thing...well...everything you said also applies to my definition as well! ;D
why are there so many guys?! :P and it they are, where are they?! :P why don't you all post! ;P
there are more guys posting then girls.... ::)
I think the 500 other people here are eunuchs according to the poll... :o
Maybe they're just undecided :P

In the case of *this* female, you'll get better "emotional counselling" from a brick wall :-X

Oh. Count me out then :P
What I find interesting is not just the differences between the genders, but also why those differences exist. Sure, some differences are biological, but many are dervied from social conditioning. Gender roles are set at a very early age, and males & females act the way sociaty teaches them to act.
Oh I know what you mean, I have devoted long years of research into the differences between biological-culture based differences in all kinds of people (male or female).
I personally think that it's more socially-based than biological-based, myself. (This coming from a girl who's physically feminine enough, but is quite a tomboy and feels more comfortable around men...) I also feel there's far more true differences between people as individuals than there are between people as genders (if that makes any sense).
Peace & Luv, Liz
I was never brought up in a normal setting, and I rebelled against society continuously, thus my dubious gender role. ;) I simply cannot even come close to thinking like or understanding a "regular guy", ie those girl-chasing guys who wear too much cologne and brag about how much sex they got. :P And I don't understand the guys who are complete losers yet desperate to get girls either. I like the opposite gender, but sex is not my main directive for some reason...
and the answer is...
QuoteMale to Female Ratio: 2.4:1
(as of the time of this post)
Oddly...this poll isn't too inaccurate.
"Oddly"? The poll only had 31 votes, but the forum counts everyone (assuming they set it in their profile)! XD
Odd that what the maker of the forum set out to do, find out how many of each gender there was in the forum(I think), was as close as it was to the gender ratio of the forum.
I expected it to be more inaccurate than it is.
Oh, I thought you said accurate before... Nevermind. XD
What is the point of this poll i dont get it :P
if another person looks at me strangly one more time, i will kick them ;P
/me looks at you oddly. ;P
also if anyone looks at me oddly :P
/me looks at you funnil- just kidding. XD
i hope you are Jafar, I hope you are...
