Laptop is dead. More or less. "Permanently out of commission" would probably be a better description. It needs a replacement graphics card, which wasn't a possibility a few years ago when it needed it (model is too old and incompatible with just about everything), and it obviously isn't possible now either.

I was able to start it up in Safe Mode and transfer all of my files over to the external hard drive. I do have a desktop computer to use, which is what I'm on now, but it's a bit old and kind of "special needs" in its functionality. Still, it's an okay replacement... but I miss my laptop already.

Farewell, Jennifer's Fireball of Doom, or The Laptop Formerly Known As The International Computational Device. :cry:

As I parked my car in front of my friend's place to film stuff earlier today, I saw this teenage couple tie up this dog by the leash to a tree and they drove off, ditching the poor thing. :cry:

Luckily, the workers at a nearby subway immediately went to the dog and started making some phone calls to the authorities from what I heard.

When I was walking by, the dog had this "are they gonna come back for me?" look. :cry:

Stupid teenage punks leaving a poor innocent dog alone makes me SO MAD. How can they live with themselves after doing this? :down: :evil:

Brother trying to upload a huge video to youtube... Internet bandwidth is screaming in agony. I asked him if he compressed the video and he said "I exported it from windows movie maker, so its compressed".

I face palmed for real.
"The people cannot be [...] always, well informed. The part which is wrong will be discontented, in proportion to [...] the facts they misconceive. If they remain quiet under such misconceptions, it is lethargy, the forerunner of death to public liberty. What country can preserve its liberties, if it's rulers are not warned [...] that this people preserve the spirit of resistance? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time, with the blood of patriots and tyrants."-Thomas Jefferson

@Ileia: /hugs It's sad when the cuddly members of the family pass on. :(

It's sad when I prefer going to work than staying at home or going to classes. I hate classes so much, and the people I live with are irritating......

Thank God for the upcoming overtime.
