many of their articles are clear and concise and have helpful illustrations so you can learn stuff easily.

here is one of my personal faves:

How to Become a Computer Expert (with Pictures!)



quote:

Learn. Starting with the "Windows" system is probably the best and easiest approach. Learn each and every basic functionality of Windows. Start working with the "Windows Registry". If you own a Mac, then OS X will be the default for you, but don't fret. It is as easy as Windows to master and get familiar with.



quote:

Get into "LINUX": "Fedora" - "Ubuntu" and "Red Hat Linux" are the best options.



quote:

Don't be afraid of your computer! What have you got to lose by tinkering with that registry if your computer is already in an unusable state? You could save yourself the trouble of re-installing Windows (or whatever operating system you have).



quote:

You will then be well on your way to being an expert yourself.


theres a lot more, they even have a guide about how to post in SA's very own FYAD, which i advise you read if you want to post there (which you should, it's rude not to give them back some content after all the funny and informative threads they have posted here) http://www.wikihow.com/Post-in-FYAD

Bump, bumping, etc. - "BUMP" is an acronym for "bring up my post" which is a short (and spammy) way to bring a thread to the first page of the forum without adding any other information. Some forums do not allow bumping but others do. Many users bump threads to earn gold or spend time.

lol, loser

i advanced to the penultimate step in this guide: http://www.wikihow.com/Kiss-a-Girl-if-You-Have-Never-Been-Kissed-Before



quote:

Go ahead and ask. Since you've never been kissed, you may find it difficult to read your girl's non-verbal cues.

Be creative and ask in a way that puts her at ease. A few prompts would be:
I really want to kiss you right now...
I want to show you just how much you mean to me...
Can I kiss you goodnight?

Make sure you know when it is okay to post intentional "mistakes" like "teh" instead of "the". There is a subtle difference between a metapost and a meta-metapost.

smartphones and their newfangled autocapitalization/correction have taken this particular game to an entirely different level
