I never enjoyed it since my teacher gave me 1s (or F-'s) every time because I used functions instead of typing in every instruction n times. :smithicide: Good thing she left after 3 months. Before you say that I didn't follow the instructions, in every test she gave us a drawing, and we had to replicate that in Logo.

[QUOTE=-Headcrab-;27333983]We're all fifteen. What the fuck 8-9 year olds!?[/QUOTE] Yeah. I was using Microworlds at age 8. It's a good program for that age group. I remember making a few very, VERY rudimentary games in it. Of course, four years later I taught myself C++, and I never looked back.

I just tried logging onto the shitty ass school website that keeps all the student's data. It says that the only supported browsers are IE8 and Firefox3.5... I will be using a portable firefox to log onto it during school, any way to stop that message popping up? PAGE KING Some content: People at my school like skull candy, black ops, put gay stickers on their laptops and use facebook. Hahahahaha. I hate how I format my posts.

Ours says it only supports IE and FF but if you refresh you can access it just fine.

Ok, this is some content, it shows illiteracy in both sides, felt like it was about time someone posted real content too. This was approximately in 2007, when I thought Alienware was the best brand to buy. I had just acquired for myself a prebuilt gaming computer, a Dell XPS 630i to be precise. It originally came with a q6600 and 8800GTs in SLI. I bought this for $1700. That's illiteracy on my side. Now, of course, the computer (specifically the GPU) started to break down after a year, and I contacted their support. I got 2 new 8800 GTs. It failed again after a couple of months. Each encounter with their support lasted about 4-5 hours each, usually with them just remote-controlling my computer, opening device manager and stuff, and not actually getting anything done. Now, the third time the GPU broke down, Dell thought that by sending me a better GPUs, it would magically rid my computer of any more future problems. So I was chatting with them, when they suddenly said, that they will send more replacement GPUs, and out of nowhere, they said that they're going to send me 2 GTX 280s. I just thought that it was just a mistake. But lo and behold, about two weeks later, there it was, 2 GTX 280s, just about doubled my performance. (This was when GTX 280s cost $500 each, felt like such a winner) ~end~

My architecture/Revit teacher is really smart, but he acts like an asshole sometimes. I asked him what he thought about Linux, because he had never heard of it he said that it must be a "system for hackers." I then pointed out that the schools server was running Ubuntu. :smug:
