Damn I hate when people do this

I hate it when people call me a boy seriously. I just walked into a WLUG BBQ and I went to get some sprite (I had just biked about 3 K) and some complete ****** says to me " Your not allowed that young man its only for members" so to that I replied " For your information 1 im a female 2 I dont recall you raising me so I dont think you have any right to tell me what I can and cant do and 3 My father oganised this so really I have just as much right as you do to this food and drink" If we hadn't been in a church I don't know what I would have done to him.

Report

This is my report on the differences of Linus Torvalds and Richard Stallman.
I'm sorry its not a work of art I have been a little busy of the past few weeks. But I will improve as time goes on.

First I'll do the similarities of the two then differences.

The first i noticed (this is also most obvious) there both programmers of free software.
But here are some more: They both have masters in computing and science. Both are software engineers.They both had there first interactions with computers without mothers or fathers involved.

Some differences are Richard was born in New York and went to Harvard where as Linus was born in Finland and went to the university of Helsinki. Linus is married with kids Richard Doesnt have ether.

More updates tomorrow.

This post is about the consumer guarantees act.

The act was put in place to stop faulty and unfair selling and buying of goods.

The act covers:
  • Goods of a type normally buy for ordinary household or personal use.
  • New and used goods bought on or after 1st April 1994
It does not cover:
  • Goods bought but action of tender
  • Goods bought from a private seller
Remedies
There are a number of remedies dependent on the situation. Whether the object is broken or not how serious the problem is.

Most of this is from the ministry of consumer affairs.

My Jaffa Friend



``Good photography is about
capturing a moment and
getting a good sense of
composition. It's also about
getting the right angles and not
having everything completely
in the centre.'
This advice comes from
Kowhai Intermediate School
student Tim.
Armed with his dad's Fujifilm
SLR camera, the 12-year-old
hunts around the school grounds
for interesting and unusual
objects to capture on film.
``I like taking pictures of plants
and people. It's really exciting
when you take a photo and are
pleased with it,' he says.
Tim and his friend, Jordan
, 11, are among 15
students from the Mt Eden
school who are preparing for
Auckland Photo Day - an annual
competition open to all
Aucklanders to go out and
capture their city this Saturday
Kowhai Intermediate computer
and graphics teacher, Tom
Mackintosh, says his class
has loved preparing for the
event. ``The kids have really
enjoyed getting out there and
taking pictures around the
school. They get really excited
when they've captured
something and get to look at it
on the screen.'
The Aucklander's chief
photographer, Kellie Blizard, is
one of the three judges. ``We look
for something original and
visually exciting,' she says. ``I've
been a judge for the past three
years and it's amazing how the
standard has kept getting higher.'
This year's top 30 entries will
feature in an online exhibition.
Kowhai Intermediate students
will be joined by pupils from 17
other Auckland schools.
Auckland Photo Day is part of
the Auckland Festival of Photography.
