I remember reading an online article some time ago by someone who was well below the average scoring intelligence quotient. She described the challenges that both she and others went through nurturing her intelligence to higher levels. But what was perhaps astonishing was the level she...

This seems to be a good unbiased page comparing laptop brands - http://smidgenpc.com/2010/04/23/the-best-laptop-brands-a-comprehensive-review/ Interestingly Lenovo Thinkpads aren't as reliable as i might have expected, kinda makes me wonder what the results would have held when IBM Thinkpads...

Interesting i thought that may have been the case, thanks for the heads up!

Its actually bootcamp which allows you to run windows games in a windows operating system "over" Mac's OS X. See here - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boot_Camp_%28software%29

Yeah if you want great gaming, desktop pc's is the way to go. They are more powerful because they dont have to be concerned with energy consumption and heat related issues so much (laptops need to be designed in such ways for obvious reasons). It kinda depends how far you want to go with...

Ha ha, we are of like minds bamf. You said exactly what i was going to say, "Hell no". I believe (correct me if im wrong) that capitalism's roots were where the government would contract the work of a major undertaking (such as the construction of a bridge, or rail line) to the company who could...

C-PTSD yeah that must be very tough and will definitely take time to work through. I remember when i was exactly your age trying to get through tertiary education with social phobia. It wasnt easy, i remember being frightened much of the time, i experienced at least a few panic attacks a day, i...

When you say you have had problems at school, is there anything specific you don't like? You've mentioned work schedule, deadlines and imposing authority. Do you have problems holding your attention on a subject for long periods of time? Do you feel too rushed to consider material properly...

Yeah thats good advice, rather then making any long term commitments at this point, maybe trying different things out and focusing on having fun would be best for you.

To be honest when it gets to the stage where im finding my laptop boots to blue screen (its happened numerous times) i dont follow through to try to fix the problem (i just reinstall Win XP). I may make a short attempt at fixing the problem but often you will find the problem is misconfigured...

That doesnt sound good... when you select "Safe Mode", at that point have you tried selecting "last good configuration" instead? Sometimes when selecting that option it will still boot to blue screen, if that turns out to be the case press the power button twice to restart and go through the...

Gawd... and what about those who dont agree or partially agree? Im definitely out of this one.

Yeah i was thinking about this a bit further and thought i should add, if you can find a relevant "mentor" who is willing to help, that will be a huge benefit to you. He/she will have the contacts in the local industry and he/she will have the experience to guide you onto a good path. (Really...
