Not bad Ali, yourself? I'm currently tearing my hair out again because the old Rapidshare issue is still rearing its horns and being, for loss of a better word, a knob.

I didn't lol, it's still here! I tried out the stuff Drew suggested (e.g. altering Javascript and requesting a new IP address using Windows) but I'm still being told the same old crap about "No Premium User - you've entered too many wrong codes. Wait five minutes and try again or get a Premium account" which I don't wanna do because I don't like using money etc. on the .net, call me an old fashioned traditionalist lol...
What are you studying?
Weird problem tho

nah, I don't use money either, don't worry about it!
I'm studying "Microelectronic Circuits"...or simply electronics. Diodes and stuff
I wouldn't know where to start. I'm personally doing A-levels in Philosophy & Ethics, Classical Civilisations and Sociology, so I guess that kinda suggests I'm not one for practical/technological fields of work lol... Originally posted by WojBhoy[..]
Ah, sounds a breeze lol

What are you studying? I mean...you're 17, so no specific field yet, right? Or am I too ignorant about the english schooling system?
I'm studying electronics engineering, so it is pretty technical yea...not good for nail polishing and other kind of people

Nah, I'm in the stage after high school, i.e. 6th form where you study A-levels (it's the first stage in English education which is voluntary so you're not obliged to take it up and don't have to wear uniform lol) and you get to choose what subjects you want to study. You originally take up 4 in your first year (AS levels) and then most sane people drop one for the second year (A2 levels) and depending on your results allows you to get into University etc. where I want to do an undergraduate degree in Society, Media and Culture
Of course, I need to get the grades lol, but it's all in the pipeline.
Nail polishing lol...NATE!
I ranked 800 in about 600,000 people, which made it easy for me to choose 
I've got to go out do some chores...talk to you later!

Nice plan there Harry...hope you make it!
Here we have 4 years of high school, you can choose from these 3: "math and physics" (which later leads to engineering in the uni), "medical sciences" (which leads to all medical fields) and the other one is "human sciences" which leads to other stuff such as law, sociology, literature, economy, etc.
Anyways, after studying 4 years in high school in the field you have chosen, you have to give this big-ass test. There are around 1.5 million people competing, it's a 4 hour test of ALL you have learnt in the 4 years...and I mean ALL OF IT!! It's really scary, people usually study a whole year for it...after that you get to choose field and university, higher mark = bigger chance of going where you want.
blah blahh...sorry for the long post, I got carreid away
