Re: Random Off-Topic
Arguements (well really just confrontation) bring out what I consider my best qualities. Analytical, objective and fair minded attitudes don't show as much normally, I tend to be self centered to a fualt and generally oblivious when I'm not arguing something.

Man I am so busy! Had to spent yesterday cleaning the whole house, buy food for the week and get things ready for school. All I have for the next few weeks are those state tests!

State tests? Do you have to memorise states? If you do, they sound like they totally suck. Good thing the U.K is just one little crappy island, and not broken up into so many states.

Re: Random Off-Topic
^ In Florida you get Florida Comprehensive Assessment Test or FCAT. Basically like this every for elementary through high school the state makes you test on subjects like Math, Reading, Science and Writing and scores your answers for 1-6 ratings. The scores judge your future placements for the required classes as regular, honors, AP, or intensive. You have no idea what is on it and it scores you by 1-6. 3 is the average and anything higher makes you qualified for better standard classes and scholarships.
In high school you have to great on these and now have to pass the End of Course Exams as well which like the 9th graders include most of their required classes to pass. On my end these count for 30% of my grade and are also state run. I' getting out on a good year because it just keep on getting harder.

Bloody hell, education in the U.S/ Florida is so much more complicated compared to what I did. I still don't get why the U.K seems to have such a dumbed down education system. I learned nearly nothing, and it just felt oppressive to be constantly stuck in classrooms, learning really basic/pointless facts.

I call rip off!
My CPU was £400, and it's great. Who would be evil enough to sell something so bad for so much..

It was the cheapest one they had
And it didn't even come with the monitor, just the CPU.
My monitor is like 8 years old.

My monitor is something like 2 years old, it doesn't matter too much, but 8? Ugh.
I got my computer refurbished for £400, including everything new at no extra charge at a computer specialist.
But, seriously, you should have looked somewhere else for that stuff.

Shame, I haven't tried Internet Explorer on PS3, only on Xbox.
Wal-Mart, isn't that the main store in the U.S?
Yeah, guaranteed rip-offs in big stores.

Wal-Mart will lower their prices to match what you see at any other store, as long as you have proof that it's lower.
Not a rip off.

At the time, sure.
Better to get something that will have lasting standards though.
