The Classroom/Help Thread
 

Ok the reason I made this thread and why I made it sticky is because we all need help every now and then. Im not talking about psychological advise, crazy freaks, I am talking about other kind of help. There are people here from different trades so its very likely that someone might be able to answer your question.

If anyone has any questions regarding anything related to computers or the internet in general just post it here.

If anyone has any question regarding school work or anything of that nature just posty it here.

This seemed like a good idea to me, if it flops ill remove it.

DONT spam! If this flops because someone started going off topic (X, Dan im looking in your direct) ill take it down and your ass is going bye-bye. Comprende, amigo?

Well, lets go.

i`m doing a report in my Gov. Class....

know anything about Henry Clay ??

Henry Clay... lol... the biggest loser in American Politics. Ran for president 3(maybe 4) times and lost them all. Ran against J.Q.Adams for the 6th presidency but then withdrew and gave Adams his full support. Adams then turned around and made him Secretary of State... which Jackson supporters claimed a corrupt bargain. This was significant because in the previous 5 elections, the secretary of state went on to become president. Alas, it didn't help Clay who went on to get slaughtered by Jackson in the next election. He went on to barely loose the presidency in '44(I think to Polk) because he wouldn't back the annexation of Texas... and that cost him the vote in the south. Kinda an interesting guy... wish he would have beaten Jackson... country might have turned out a bit better financially and socially.

Gov is the shit, yo!

The teacher pass around a list of people to do a report on the other day

I Knew/heard about/of two or three people, but I figured i'll go do a report on someone that I never heard of...

so I just picked someone, and that, was henry clay, Which I have NO clue (who) is...
:dunno:

I hate gov. ...


well (to me) gov. is boring...

to me u guys are going off topic??? idk. hey mullet what would u recommend getting funny images/video/ and audio files.

Sorry! :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

what do you mean by that?

where* do u recommend finding funny images/audio/video clips

You can get stuff from many p2p programs. I know of a couple websites but from what we've talked, you wont bite. what kind humor are you looking for exaclty? be as specific as you can. dont say funny shit either.

:laugh::laugh::laugh:

So my internet is suddenly running really slow. I have dial up so it's slow enough to begin with. Is it because my little brother looks at porn all the time?

yes. most porn sites, and regular sites in general, will download spyware inot your PC. Spyware isnt what most people think. they dont take private info and use it to hurt you. they monitor the types of sites you go to and use that to pop up certian types of ads.

here are some crutial and FREE things taht ALL people should have runing on thier computers.

AVG Anti-Virus Free Anti Virus Software

Zone AlarmFree Firewall Protections

Ad Aware Free Spyware Removal

Spybot Search and Destroy Free Spyware Removal

i am willing to bet that if you get one of these spyware removal programs, run it and delete all the crap it finds, it will speed up your PC significantly.

ok. I have spybot..it doens't find anything. I have norton...does it run ok with these other programs? And should I have all three on my computer or just choose one?

if you already have em, then you dont really need them.

Mullet...so teacher-esque for you to do this! How cool! Good for you and your cyber-students. I had a great time with my students last week in literature..they were reading about REv. War and Bill of Rights..all those inspiring writers...Patrick Henry and Voltaire. I just love those free thinkers, the rebels, and ones like Emerson that make you feel and question! Oh, I miss being a student! :( I know it's tough and a lot of work when you are there..but enjoy what you can out of it!

I've got Ad-Aware 6.0, and it's absofuckinglutely wonderful!

lol roger that Bear.

Enjoy it while im there? Hah! Girls, parties, football, bonfires, school pride festivities, the occasional politician, did i mention the sex already? Yea i dont think ill be leaving college anytime soon! Have you seen Van Wilder? That'll be me, the 7 year plan.

Ad-Aware sucks compared to SpyBot... go get SpyBot.

plus its got teh coolest name in the world... Spybot: Search and Destroy

Norton is good one as long as you keep it updated regularly, but you might wanna go to norton's webpage which is http://securityresponse.symantec.com/ , then follow the link says "chek for security risks" and follow the instructions. it should work... take care

Yes Norton is good and so is McAfee. I use McAfee on my machines.... then again I paid over 50 bucks for this program. AVG does the EXACT same thing Norton and McAfee do, only without the fancy GUI (graphical user interface) and without the hefty price tag.

all i've heard from in the past is that mcafee sucks balls... got free symantec thru school here, and i have yet to get a virus on here.

alrighty then!

Ad-Aware is the shit, don't waste your time w/ SpyBot, shit don't work as well. Also, HiJack this is pretty good.

yeah... i deleted SpyBot after one use... me like Ad-Aware, works good for me, so who needs change?

Trust me, SpyBot is much better than Ad-Aware. SpyBot picks up much more spyware than Ad-Aware too.

Ive had problems with Ad-Aware and Spybot. They both crash after searching 13 files. So I use the spyware protector that came with my AOL software.

Hey Al,
Thanks a bunch! I put Ad-Aware on and it has helped tremendously! You're the BOMB! Even if you don't like The Cure :razz:

Any one know of any really REALLY informational sites on the holocaust????? I have to work on a book kinda like thing at school. We have to have 10 paragraphs about concentration camps, 11 on people from holocaust, and we (me and my partner) already have 7 people, then I think the rest of it will come pretty smooth. I just mainly need some really good sites on concentration camps, since we haven't done anything on those yet, if anyone knows of any good sites, please post them. Thanks! :)

I don't know of any sites, but there's 2 people I can think of who've written books based on their experiences living in Nazi Germany (both are Jewish, so they experience concentration camps), so they might be helpful. Corrie Ten Boom (I think that's how her name is spelled) and Elie Wiesel (he wrote the book Night... it's a fairly quick read if you're interested, not much more than 120 pages, if my memory serves me correctly)

what you first need to do is find all the concentration camps, then search information on them individually. So just Google it. If you need more information just take a visit to your local Holocaust Museum.

Alright, thanks guys. If I get to go to the library anytime next week, I might see if they have those books. Three of our sources have to come from books anyway! :) I'll do that Mullet, thanks again guys.
