What do you assign to Mordor? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

The horrible little kind of bug that hovers in front of your face no matter how vehemently you slap at it.

It's November. In CNY.

Die already.

Aging laptop screens. My laptop is only about a year and a half old but it already is falling apart. I know for one it is not the most durable version and that I have not taken the best care of it but still it is dying. Although my applecare plan might be able to cover a new screen, I will have check into that.

That sounds rather extreme!
My laptop is from 2004 and is working just fine. . . of course it takes its time starting and such.

Mine works fine but the screen is falling apart. It has a splotch or two on the far right side and down the center it has a line. I would say the laptop has another few years in it.

I assign school computers that block almost everything, including the 'Downs. I had basically nothing to do for two hours and I sat, staring at the computers, wishing I could get on the Downs...

My school blocks the forums here but not the downs website. I found a loophole in the schools block system though. Nothing big but it works here and there.

Lostole, you could have used a proxy or gone on your email and emailed random downers that you happened to have email addresses for.

What's a proxy? They block email, too.

Poor you, only Facebook is blocked on our school computers and wifi systems. I particularly enjoy playing in the Downs whenever I'm in our ROTC lounge

Though our online journal subscriptions aren't always updated. There were two months when I couldn't access JSTOR--it almost affected my thesis.
