"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"

She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.

You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.

She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.

The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.

New pc question

"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

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.

"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

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.
 

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."

You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.

She's been waiting forty minutes.

Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

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.
