Wow. That sounds bad.

HA, that sounds amazing! That would be so much fun. Apparently our school server is really shit and has a small capacity. A reliable Computing teacher told us that he had to start clearing stuff of the server because there wasn't much space left. Our school isn't really that good overall. A lot of crappy teachers too.

Yeah, it's got quite a lot of databases bits to it. Like, it mentions alot about keys (primary, foreign, atomic...). Data dictionaries, anomalies and all that too.
Wish you were my teacher then. She was absoultely useless at teaching Computing. I don't even know why she's teaching it. She's about 4 ft 2 as well, and really bossy. When she was 'teaching', she was just copying notes from a book and putting them on a slideshow for us to copy down. And we asked her a question, she would barely know the answer to it. Absoutely useless.

Normalisation is sorting data into forms. There is 4 forms - UNF (Un-organised form), 1NF (1st normal form - spliting it in to 2 entities of one being of the attributes which only appear once in a table, and the other being of multi-valued attributes), 2NF (2nd normal form - removing partial dependencies and splitting it into 3 entities), 3NF (3rd normal form - splitting it into 4 entities). It's actually quite hard to explain. But I'll send you a link of a past paper.

Yeah, they are pretty juvenile. There is loads of them who were so unbelievably nasty back in 2nd year and now really friendly. And it's exactly how you said - they get influenced by their friends to act nasty to you.

I've had a couple of friends who have turned nasty before, but not a huge amount. It's mainly been girls.
Yeah, it's good if you keep in touch with them, because no matter how far away they are, you are still friends with them. And it's also interesting to hear how they are doing and what they are up to. But it is hard, because you can't exactly visit them on a regular basis.

Drew, only 1 post away from 10,000!

And when they found all these mp3s and videos and things on there, they threatened suspension. Me and a friend must have loaded up 1% of the world's entire music on there easy.


[..]
My teachers used to do that, copy and show on the board. They should learn, after all what are we there for? Apart from the messing around, I'm, and I'm sure you as well, there to learn, not to have some angry little lady literally copying out of a book. That's ridiculous.


[..]
Can't view those PDFs as I don't have PDF viewing on this computer but I know what you mean - I think. Like databases for various information. That was good, I always used to enjoy that but when it got over-complicated it was just stupid.

Peer pressure is a real bitch. But karma's more so a bitch. Eventually they get their karma. I'd love to be visiting all my friends but you can't because of that reason. The girls are the worst, the guys you can tell them to fuck off and they don't bother you so much, but the girls, because they get so attached to you, they want to keep bothering you and all you want to say is fuck off. You say that then you get in shit.

Yeah I've had some scary ones but thankfully no more. They used to prank our phone (not scary but annoying) and eventually I saw them and told them to fuck off and grow the fuck off. Never got another one - maybe they grew up or realised they're wasting their fucking time and I don't care.


[..]
One ahead. And you were here to see it. Five years.

Yeah, I hope I will do it.

Hah, really? My brother had admin rights back when he was at school. He also made half the website.

It's hard to learn when even they don't know what they are talking about. Copying out of a text book and putting it in a powerpoint is absoutely useless. There is no way you can learn that way.

Yeah, it looks very complicated when you first look at it, but you'll eventually get it. Weird to this, but it's actually quite fun to do.

Yeah, it is. Girls are the worst, definitely. I know a few of them that are complete bitches and we then don't like each other anymore. Thankfully not all girls are like that, because you do get some very friendly ones.

Very well done on the 10,000. I'm now away to post on that thread you just opened!

Yep. And it was funny at the time but it also taught me something important: never tell someone who's mum is involved in school administration.

You can learn if it's up there and know certain things, but you don't really know how whatever it is you're learning about works.

[..]
I'll have to take a look because I'd like to see it.

You get some great people and you know you can trust them which is good - I know I did but half the people I met at school if I saw them in the street I wouldn't give them my time because they were arseholes, and arseholes don't deserve respect if they're going to be arseholes their entire life and expect people to like their arsehole-ish behavior. I can't roll with that.

Thanks for posting there too. I almost didn't come back after two posts because all I wanted was a show recording but got it and then I stayed because more people registered and instead of like 200 people and members, most of who didn't post, there's over 40 000!!!

Well, I must be off for early sleep - working tomorrow and interested to know what the project is. I've no idea but who knows, it might be interesting.

Originally posted by LikeASong:That's mostly everyone's story. All of us came in order to get a show or two in MP3, and later stayed forever.

I came in search of a new community (I'm user number 351) where no one felt superior to anyone. True story
