    Honestly, I've not learned anything about C#. I'm still in my first semester of C++. Granted, I'm still way ahead in the class, as he has yet to give me something that challenged me. I tend to finish the homework the day (occasionally within 1-2 hours) it is assigned when he gives us a week to...

    Vista

    Does anyone here actively run windows vista? I had thought I would just wait until Windows 7 came out, but I've come across a nice link recently. Look under additional products. That's a pretty nice discount I think. So I wanna hear on some people's overall opinion on the operating system. I've...

    Oh yea, something else I forgot to mention. My laptop is now officially out of commission. First the LCD started showing strange lines on the side of the monitor, never that big of a problem. Then my battery just went dead, again not that big of a problem, got a cheap one off of eBay. Now I have...

    So it's been quite awhile since my last post. However, I feel I need to make a few updates. I made a bad decision a couple of months back when I decided to put everything on hold while I assess on whether I can port parts of this project to another language. I spent much of my freetime at school...

    Gamess

    Ack, beware of glitches. I highly recommend (though you will definitely find spoilers) searching google or gamefaqs for game breaking glitches/bugs. There are many early on glitches that can force you to restart your game. I've only restarted once because of:

    Just popped the disc in a minute ago, OMG, the opening scene is GORGEOUS! I've played a few games HD, but none have looked very good so far. This one, so far, tops them all.

    Found Bugs

    Was playing this today while in class and noticed these bugs. I'll fix them later, this is just to keep a record of them. - MSINET cannot be registered manually on non-admin accounts & is not packaged with windows by default. Definitely consider switching to some other socket. - When clearing...

    My copy of Fable 2 arrives tomorrow, which wikipedia still says its released. Amazon gauruntees release date delivery so I should definitely have it tomorrow. But yea, Spiderman will definitely have to wait. I haven't even played the Burning Crusade expansion (though I do own a copy) so that's...

    Site Offline

    Obviously, this has been averted. I contacted the host and was able to cancel the payment through paypal and instead use my credit card. However, I was notified today that there will be some downtime while the servers are worked on. Here is the message with a few things removed (name...

    Fullmetal Alchemist Anime

    I know its a relatively old anime now, but it appears that FMA is getting a sequel. I don't know if we have any fans here, but apparently this was as big a hit in America as it was in Japan so I figure, even if you didn't watch the anime subtitled, then perhaps you saw the Cartoon Network dubs...

    Site Offline

    I apologize for this, starting next week, the site may be offline indefinitely. I am awaiting a letter from PayPal so that I can unlimit my account, but until then, the webhost will have a freeze on our account until we renew payment. As soon as I receive the letter, I can renew payment...

    Spore

    An update for those still disappointed by the whole DRM thing. Reinstalling on the same system over and over again, only uses one activation. I can confirm this to be true by two reasons. One, I have installed the game twice on one system, and called EA telling them I had an activation error...

    MP3 Player Research

    Still experimenting with that program, but I think I like it. So far. As soon as I downloaded minilyrics + the embedder, I had about all the functionality of wmp11. I'm still getting used to the library on it though. I wonder if there's any plugins for that.

    Image to Txt and back again!

    Haha, had I seen this maybe a few hours earlier I could have done it. I've done stuff like this before, mainly for the graphics packer. That is until I found the class it's using now.

    can't sync with everything. My zune still requires the zune software unfortunately...

    MP3 Player Research

    Forgot about that one. I believe I tried that one back when I was still in high school (graduated 2005 so anytime before then). I didn't really care for it then, so I wonder what it's like now. What do you like about it that other media players don't have?

    MP3 Player Research

    Here is my response: I have owned an iPod Shuffle and an iPod Nano both first generation. As soon as the Zune came out I started saving up for one and came to receive a 30 GB one for Christmas. I like the Zune so much more than any of the iPods I have ever played with or owned. The only thing...

    MP3 Player Research

    I'm a little curious. What MP3 Player (if any) do you own and regularly use? Do you like it? What would you change about it? Is there any features that you absolutely must have from your favorite sync software? What attracted you to this player over others. Second batch of questions. What kind...

    Spore

    Well, I agree that it did not live up to the hype, but I still think it is a fairly entertaining game. Assuming I can ever get past the first marker in the galactic stage. I seem to restart everytime I hit that stage...

    Homepage news

    OK, I've laid a little tiny bit of groundwork for the archives. For now, you can simply click next/previous through them. I think for the archives, I'll do something a little simpler that what I originally planned, and I'll just list the topic titles in a dropdown box that will just jump you...
