Borsuk speaks of proper arguing..?

Kalah summed it up pretty nicely.

It's pretty. Black. Brand: HP. 2.1 Gh processor, 3 Gb RAM, 160 GB harddisc space, some nice graphics card I forgot the name of, and oh yeah, it's a laptop

It's my first time. I am a laptop virgin! Hehe.

Don't keep it in bed, it'll just raise the temperature ... Plus, you might find it uncomfortable. But do experiment!

I don't see what's that great, tbh.

My comp is right there near the bed, and I have a comfortable chair.

And if you're wondering yes I also have a laptop, but I very rarely use it

Laptops are great, since you can bring them so easily with you... not just in bed (although that is a feature

), but on holidays, to work, over to a friend's house, to anywhere you are going to spend a couple of days and don't want to be without your PC.

The only aber I can think of is one that has been a bit of a nuisance with all my laptops: because they've got all their components crammed into a very small space, they get very hot. And since that's neither comfortable nor very good for the computer's durability, I recommend taking measures to help with that whenever possible. A trick I use if I'm on the laptop for long periods at a time and it's sitting on a table, is put it on four improvised "legs" (matchboxes, CD covers, whatever) to lift it off the table and improve cooling.

Laptops in bed is pain if you're going to stay at it more than 5 minutes seriously. Your back will hurt, you can't "lie" down, at least not if you want to be able to control it anyway. Believe me, I tried. Also they typically overheat in bed because of the material/sofa/whatever it is called in english. Also NEVER PUT A LAPTOP ON A CARPET. It will heat up like hell.

Since my main comp has some 'difficulties' with the HD and I don't wanna take risks right now, and still waiting a bit for the prices to drop to get my new comp (wth seriously... what's happening? it's been months since then!), and since my (crappy) laptop gives me backpains if used in bed, and the monitor is an eye-sore (laptop monitors are WEAK in contrast to use as little energy as possible, and are hard on the eye if used a lot!)... I put the laptop in place of the desktop computer's keyboard, connected the USB mouse to it, connected my CRT monitor to it, and I use it similarly to my desktop now, except for the part that the whole thing is now "in the keyboard rack" (I mean the computer itself) rather than below.

Hmm I don't really think that a 90 year old even cares about ego anymore.
And I didn't say you don't speak honestly. I said that you project yourself on others. For example, emos like to do it a lot too. They are honest with themselves -- doesn't mean everyone is just as depressed though.

It's the sense of security in action.
(I mean the stuff you do in experiments, also called 'placebo', only that in THIS case, you have a sense of being 'safe' rather than of a medicine healing you).

No, because in such a scenario, you ARE safer. People like you, you have friends. Unless you are saying that all emotion is an illusion and we should all just go take a bath with a toaster and end the meaninglessness...?

I don't think ego means a lot, after basically all of your life is behind you.
The way I see it, is that, it's kinda sad, that all those enthusiastic, rebellious, complex, unspoiled, idealistic, life-loving or life hating young people, full of all kinds of energies, after they enter their late 20s, get married with all kinds of responsibilities, they suddenly turn into the boring shells of their earlier selves. I know that this is somehow the natural and normal order of life, but when I think of this, I cannot help myself to feel scared and in the same time depressed.

Some people run out of steam, some don't. I'm not worried about it myself.

Veldrynus · Unread postby **Veldrynus** » 19 Mar 2009, 01:43

I don't think that the steam runs out. That's the "problem". Under the strong social (and economical) constraints that steam cannot get out, and with will boil and burn everything humane left inside.

This makes me terrified.
