omg what a nerd

After the vacation whe have cable in our school! 25 comp run win98. 10 have P2-300. the rest has P3-650. The 15 other ones are P-66s.
 
We have a million imacs, about 4 powermac G3's for video editing purposes (Avid Cinema). Then we have about 20 Gateway PII 233's for drafting, and some crappy Micron 600mhz celeron's for our networking class. But hey, it's better than what we used to have in there (old 486's)

As soon as the cost of building worldwide fiberoptic networks costs nothing :) -- so the answer is that it won't......

I think I know someone nerdier (heh, thats not a word..) than the kid originally mentioned in the thread.

My friend Michael is 14, wears nothing but white turtlenecks and blue jeans, has 4 computers (2 on cable, 2 on 56k), brings print outs of computer prices to school, weighs about 115 lbs, has glasses, braces, and goes to remedial gym. He also takes PASCAL, HTML, Keyboarding and C++.
 
Internet be free? Well the aparently Canada has plans to give high speed i-net access to everyone. Or was that just AB? And schools and Libraries too. Right now, the 400 gazillion computers in my high school are on a giant network, and load web pages slower than my old 14.4 . And all freewebspace sites like angelfire, tripod, geocities are blocked out because they think kids might go to "bad" sites because anyone can get a site for free there. Problem is, all sites that contain good information for research are located there. There isn't exactly a "17th century British Explores".com . What is really bad is that if you had the urge, typing in an address like "porno.com" would work.(I haven't really tried that. They monitor all the users history, and make you log in with your student ID before even getting on).

What else? Okay, more on nerds. There is this one kid in m Info Pro. class that is looks pretty geeky. He has glasses, really skinny and pale, and well, ugly, but at the same time he is pretty funny. Kinda cool actually. He doesn't bring his laptop to school though. This kid last semester in Auto Tech. always brought his laptop to school, and he was pretty nerdy. He always wore a computer affliated t-shirt...he kind of reminds me of the comic book store owner on the simpsons. But he was also funny, at times, but still geeky for playing roller coaster tycoon at school. This other kid always has a laptop, but he needs it because he can't write properly, so he has to type. He isn't really mentally retarded, but...slow. And there is freaks that are always talking about computer programming(my locker partner and his friends...well friend...). But that doesn't make sense. School is time for socializing, not talking about the source code for their current project. They obliviously don't do anything outside of school except enter information into a computer, because they are either really fat(it's glandular!), or a toothpick's splinter. Anyways...that's all for me.

would the
Internet free for everyone, or for schools, libraries and such? Most of the local schools run off of a satellite connection, as cable isnt available here yet.

Hotmail and other services, i think, are banned here but everyone uses them anyways.

Just get a redirect account and make it redirect to your favourite angelfire-geocities etc. site.


I think nerds are dumb. They are almost always ugly, or if not just plain annoying. i know i am probably either describing or openly offending 85% of the people here.

oh well
 
In my high school we have about 200 old power macs and about 100 new IBM's linked up through a fiber line to the school district offices. They use Novell to control acess to stuff but its buggy and easy to get around.
 
I don't mind nerds much. The people I really think are dumb are the "goths" or "non-conformists" (which is one of the stupidest words out there, since everyone in the world is conformed to something).

I don't have anything against people who listen to "goth" music and stuff, but geez, do you have to dress up and act like that? I mean, I don't know of too many jobs out there that let you dress and act like that. It just seems they either have no self-respect or like being dirty or something. At our school they all sit at this corner table in the cafeteria and do all this weird sh*t. Half the time if you look over there they are sitting on each other or tonguing the hell out of each other's mouths. That's really what I want to see when I'm eating! LOL

I apologize if I offended anyone with the above, and I realize not all of those types of people are like that, but damn the ones that are annoy me.
 
The people I hate are the group of people who 'hang out' at the corner of the street across from school doing ... whatever and in school, acting like dumbass 2nd graders and failing every class they take. I can bet most 2nd graders are more mature then they are. You probally know who I'm talking about... ;)
 
Yeah goth's are annoying. It seems like they just dress strange to draw attention to themselves. I don't see the need for all the accesories they have(spike collar, piercings, leather whips...). And the punk kids who hang across the street cowax, you mean the druggies? Well, everyone's a druggie in my school. Okay, not everyone, but the school cop knows that lots of people just goes out in the field and smoke up, and he doesn't care. He's does stuff like deal with the hundreds of fender benders in the parking lot. Kids just go into the washroom to smoke up too. I am glad that there aren't many "hard" drugs. Mostly weed and shrooms. Most kids can grow them themselves, so easy access. Or their parents do, and the steal from them. I doubt it will be long till Canada has as lax a drug policy as the Netherlands.

And to keep on track, nerds...meh,I said all I have to say.
 
ok... here it goes

there's a difference between cool and weird

those guys who look like punks
spike collar, piercings, leather whips, doing drugs
they are idiots


I don't consider them cool
in fact
I consider them as a loser


cool people are
people who are clean
wears good fashion
have some morals
respect others
can chill
smart

you know
the usual...
 
So fashion makes you cool huh? maybe we should tell all the kids who kill their schoolmates to buy some nikes and fit in.
 
I don't know

anyways
Me and my friends are all rich
so we all think fashion is ONE OF MANY being cool

also the hairstyle

I guess that's fashion too



FASHION is cool
basically

lol. I guess it would be pretty uncool if i had a mullet and wore tight jeans and the same shirt everyday, and had a bad acne problem, and smelled funny and complaind about the price of hot water and had a pocket protector and a holster for my calculator and my glasses perscription was -11.00.

lol
 
nah Gayowulf

fashion is cool to me
that's my opinion

We're all different


I guess we all have different opinion on what's cool

heh
