I’ve been accepted at my local university to read a bachelor’s degree in computer science.
I’ll be buying a laptop to take with me to the lectures, but at this point im trying to decide between a laptop or a netbook. Somehow I think a netbook just wouldnt cut it for such a degree, due to the programming languages ill be using etc.
Is a netbook good enough to program with java, c# etc, or should i go for a laptop? The reason I’m asking is because money is a factor due to the high prices of books etc, so if a netbook would be enough, then that would be great 
Thanks

Why Do Conspiracy Theorists Write Certain Words With 0s Instead Of Os?
September 4th, 2010
{ 1 Comment }
I’ve noticed this trend lately, both on Yahoo! Answers, and on news websites that let people leave comments.
People write the number 0 in place of the letter O. It is most frequently done in the case of the name Obama (as in “0bama”). But I’ve noticed it in other words as well. For example, I just saw a question about the “Mas0nic” conspiracy. The only thing in common is that about 95% of the people who do this say things that are really crazy.
So, what’s up with this? Is it just a trend? Do paranoid people think it just looks cool? Do they all have malfunctioning keyboards? Or is there some sort of hidden meaning behind this?

Am I Mental?! Long Read But Important…wow?
September 3rd, 2010
{ 3 Comments }
Well, this is going to be a long read…
First and foremost, I’m a 14 year old female. I’m easily infatuated with somebody or something. For instance, when I was 10, apparently a boy liked me at school. I’d ask my Mom if we could go for a drive around the neighborhood, to try to pick out where he lived. I also used to pretend that we were a couple, (he was an imaginary boyfriend I suppose). I remember I asked his sister for their phone number, and I wrote it down on my wall and re-read it until I knew all of the digits off-by heart.
Also, when I got into high school, I really liked this guy. He spoke to me once (I had a broken leg, and he used my crutches). I wrote a diary all about him. I would stare at him at school, and in the afternoon or when I got home, I’d pretend that we were together. Also, the people that he hung out with, I’d pretend I was their best friend. I remember, I would go to the park and pretend to meet up with them. I also saved pictures of him on my computer and set it as my desktop background.
What else would I do…? I’d go into notepad, and write down sentences and pretend I got a message/email from the people that I liked, when I didn’t. I’d check their Myspace continuously, too.
I’d have at least 100+ pictures of them. I was infatuated. Infatuated! I never spoke to any of these people. At all. Whenever somebody mentioned them, I’d blush and keep quiet.
Also, I think I like this person (now). I haven’t spoken to them for 5 months, but everyday I look at their Youtube, Myspace & Facebook (at least 10 times a day) to see when they were last online. If they’ve got new pictures, that’s like treasure to me. I save them onto my computer and focus on the small, simple details.
Do you think I’ve got OCD, an addictive personality disorder, schizophrenia, anything?! I’m kind of wondering whether or not I’ve got psychosis … :/

The shops that sell my uniform are in town, and yeah i don’t really want to go there by myself:/ I don’t want people from school seeing me god I’d feel so embarrased lol and boys/men always perv on me..i can’t really go anwhere without someone staring or coming up to me for conversation…seriously i’ve been followed in CARS twice!
Ahhh so any advice about this? I HAVE to go and get my things, and I have to go town. I really don’t wanna see people I know, so what time should I go? Early? And how do I make myself less um…don’t know the word but less likely to be perved on basically ? Less sociable? I’m 14 but i look a lot olderr (but then again i’m 4ft11- TINY- so maybe people shouldn’t think i’m an adult)

In Excel, How Do I Make A Formula Always Point To A Cell, Even If I Move The Content?
September 3rd, 2010
{ 2 Comments }
For example, say I have a spreadsheet with the following:
In A1, I have the formula =$b$1+$c$1. B1 has 2 and C1 has 3. A1 correctly displays 5. But if I drag B1, the formula changes to reflect the new location of B1, and A1 still shows 5. What I want is for the formula to always stay $b$1+$c$1, regardless of what I do with the values in B1 and C1.
I suspect (hope) that this is something easy that I’ve just forgotten how to do. Help!
Thanks in advance.
Can’t Run .exe In Windows 7?

I’m trying to run a certain .exe but it doesn’t even show as an executable. It is listed as simply a “file”. When I click on it, it asks what program I should open it in. How do I fix this?
