Not to be a jerk, but I really didn't understand half of what you just said.




Like I said I really don't want to be a nazi, but you are in college, and it took me a while to realize what you were saying. Sorry :/

sounds like you have an inconsiderate roommate. There's really not a whole lot you can do short of chucking it out the window.

There should be volume control buttons somwhere, but I don' know if they'd work if the comp is locked.

Leave her a note that says something like "Would you please turn off your music when you leave the room for hours at a time"

Magnet to the hard drive. Failing that, take the battery out or unplug it or whatever.

Edit: Oooh, better idea: take a pair of headphones or something and plug them into the speaker jack.

Logically, there's got to be a volume control knob somewhere on the machine. Failing that, politely ask your roommate to PLEASE not leave it playing children's songs while she leaves the room for hours at a time, or else YOU will politely shut off her computer. If you can't get to shut it down, then un-plug it, or remove the battery. Another alternative could be to bury it under some blankets/pillows, if you have enough.

It's funny; I can understand what you are saying perfectly, and yet you're far more annoying than Elana14.

It's a strange world we live in...

Huh. I tried to read what Elana wrote, then I blacked out for some reason. When I came to I decided to play it safe and put it through the translatamogifier.
I'm glad you asked that question, Elana.

Is it a laptop, a single-unit desktop (like an iMac), a two piecer with the speakers attached to the monitor, or is it - indeed - playing through the internal PC speaker in 3 tones of square and triangle waves?

You should just turn it off.. Thats a VERY Rude thing for a room-mate to do..

Maybe if I knew what your room-mate is like I might not say this BUT, it's sounding like she(/he?) did it just to annoy you.

Or like allready said,you could just plug in some headphones, But I would just turn it off..

How new of a laptop is it? Does it run Windows XP? It should be possible to coax it into sleep mode without having to unlock it.

The real question to be asked here is: you're in college? Crikey.

Take out the battery--why should you be considerate of them if they aren't of you? Just be careful come midterms.

...why not just use a spellchecking program? There's tons of the things...

EDIT - hmm ok a spellchecker wouldn't have corrected 'think god' so maybe a support system isn't such a bad thing....

Or learn how to spell? It's not that hard. I learned when I was in Elementary school.

The following process details how--read more than 1 book every year, at least.

Seriously, I've not seen english that poor since I talked to a guy that lived in India (yay for random messaging)

Meh, be considerate the firs time, but after that, whatever it takes.

I must admit I got a kick out of how you spelled "sckedgule"

But yeah, temp fix is to plug in headphones.. After that give her a warning that you'll turn it off next time, whether she's got unsaved data or not... After you do that once or twice that should fix things, I think..

If you choose not to decide, you still have made a choice.
