Hiya
« on: November 12, 2006, 08:39:38 am »
I'm Andrew. I am from Miami, Fl. I am 17. I am a big nerd. I 12th grade and in MultiVariable Calculus/Differential Equations Dual Enrollment. I am in the Math Honor Society (Mu Alpha Theta), the American Technology Honor Society, Chess Club, Bridge Club (the card game), I was in math club till it folded itself into Mu Alpha Theta, and I was in JETS (Junior Engineering Technical Society) till it reformed into Physics Club, of which I am doubtful I will become a member of. I love math. I compete in math. I also love computers. I went to computer camp for 3 years, it was the best(too old to go back again next year). I dual boot Ubuntu and Windows XP Media Center Ed. I would like to use Ubuntu more but I can't get it work with my WIFI card and my house is wireless. I have a dog named Dawson and some fish in a fish tank (where else?)

My favorite quote is:"When I hit Ctrl-Alt-Delete, I see that the System Idle Process is hogging all the resources and chewing up 95 percent of the processor's cycles. Doing what? Doing nothing?"

And that's all.

When some luser notices that and asks you what's going on, you're supposed to tell them it's a virus. 

What type of wireless card are you using?  I've had a lot of luck with Orinoco cards, those are my favorite (Microsoft's wireless cards follow Orinoco standards, so they surprisingly work well with Linux).  I've also had success with the wireless cards built into Intel Centrino laptops (ipw2100 and ipw2200).  If it's one of those, you need a third party driver (google should find them easily).  Other than that, I'm not as sure. 


Besides all that, welcome :P

I'd bet that you're currently bloated like a water ballon on a hot summer's day.

That analogy doesn't even make sense.  Why would a water balloon be especially bloated on a hot summer's day? For your sake, I hope there wasn't too much logic testing on your LSAT.

Are you going to go to competitions this year? If so, will you go to any invitationals? Have you been to any competitions previously? How high have you placed in them? What school do you go to?

Yes. The three regionals and possibly states (99% certainty unless otherwise committed.) I've competed previously. I have placed 5th with the Pre-Calc team on two competitions in 10th grade. I got 1st on written, 2nd overall, and 3rd with my team on the local Mathcounts competition in 8th. My goal is to make it to the AIME this year (pass the AMC.) I probably would have passed last year but my teacher was pissed at me at the time so I didn't get to compete in the AMC (re: homework.) I go to Miami Palmetto Senior High.

The quote is from John C. Dvorak.

I'll look and figure out which wireless card it is. My comp is a HP Pavilion zd8000, a 17 inch, way too heavy laptop.

Welcome to the forums. ^^

Do you like music?  If so, what type of music and who is your favorite artist?

Don't listen to much music. Like a bunch of Weird Al's music and a friend of mine has tried to convince me into Sigor Ros for a four week period. I think I might give that another try actually. I'm in the mood for that right now actually.

There's a whore for Sigor Ros on the forums somewhere... I forget who though.

I think I know who you are talking about. Is it Ender?? He is the friend who had tried to convince me in that previously mentioned period.

I suggest going to Ubuntu community forums [ubuntuforums.org], if you haven't already.

And, welcome!  :)

I've looked there a bit in the past. The biggest issue I have is getting on the internet in Ubuntu in order to fix it. It is really difficult for me to get a hardwired connection to the router when at home. Although i think i might have a way to now since we redid our network.
