"The Kiss of Death Mistake"

You replay the conversation at 2 a.m. She texted back fast yesterday. Today, nothing. Was that smile friendly or flirty? What did the shoulder touch mean?

Every hour you spend decoding her signals drains your confidence and hands her the controls. Women can sense that insecurity from across the room — and it repels them.

One of the "22 Rules" kills the obsession on the spot: assume she likes you, and act accordingly. Sounds too simple. Works anyway.

Her interest tends to rise to meet your expectations. Psychologists call it a self-fulfilling prophecy.

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

Well im assuming by the link that its a packard bell. If you want to buy a quality computer then try dell.com. The specs look good, but it all really depends on what are you using your pc for.

"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"

You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.

She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.

Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.

Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.

The specs look really nice, I'd say it'll be able to do just about anything you throw at it.

That computer could to CAD/CAM applications just fine. I'm on a laptop with an XP 3000+, 768MB of RAM, and a 32MB Geforce 4 GO mobile and I run Inventor 8 just dandy.

If all you want to do is computer aided design, you'd be getting a dual CPU system in the first place :)

Go for it. The processor will be great, and it beats out most of intel's processors. Plus, you'll be ready for a 64 bit operating system, but those aren't mainstream for a couple more years.

One of the reasons I didn't buy it, One of the programs I had to run was "Catia V5" which runs on 32

I'm very wary about buying brand-name computers now b/c the things are built as cheaply as possible, and the parts used are generic and often sub-par. (I bought one compaq that was D.O.A. the first time I used it, and i had to drive all the way back to return it. ) If one thing breaks, there is often no warranty for it.

If you buy a computer for games, be sure that it has a real video CARD and not just a video chipset on the motherboard--- chipsets suck b/c they don't have their own dedicated memory like cards do, and this means that chipsets always use up some of your system RAM.

Also, the software on compaq/emachines/etc. totally blows... you get a "restore disc" but it's not a real copy of windows, it is a HD image that reloads a sh!tload of useless memory-wasting proprietary software along with windows, so you never get a clean instalation.

the absolute best way to get a computer is to buy good quality brand-name parts and assemble it yourself. That way, you get exactly what you want and each part has its own warranty.
 

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."

Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.

Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?

You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.

Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.

AMD's 64 bit processors can run 64 and 32 bit programs at the same time. I am running a 32 bit OS and programs right now. They are excellent processors. Only used the 64 bit aspect when I was betatesting XP 64 bit.
