OK, back from work.
I have one thing to say: whoever designed the .plist format had no fucking idea what the point of XML is. Because it looks like this:
[code]<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple Computer//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
<key>NSAppName</key>
<string>Ubersoft Mercury</string>
<key>NSVersion</key>
<string>1.0.5.11b</string>
</dict>
</plist>[/code]
Now imagine trying to pull up one of the values using any standard XML library. You can't. You pretty much have to parse the entire thing until you find the key you're looking for, then pull up the next node. THAT IS NOT HOW YOU USE XML.
Oh, and one more thing:
Dear Microsoft:
"/Applications/Microsoft Office 2011/Office/Microsoft® Silverlight™/" is not a good path name.
Next time you're tempted to name a folder with funny characters in it, think about "how would you cd into it?"
Sincerely, Fuck You

It's the same with Oracle/Sun not making "javac" a command and forcing me to enter the whole god damn path to the /bin folder every time I want to compile something outside of this piece of shit JCreator :smith:
in 4th and 5th grade i was in a "computer club" that the elementary computer lab teacher set up, in 6th i was in robotics (which i ended up not liking) and this year i'll probably end up doing cooking since that's the only thing left that i'm actually interested in in terms of extra curricular activities

One of my friend's friend bought this pc

and said that it can max bf3.
1100$ for an amd dual core and a gt 220(He said hes getting one with a geforce 210 though, which is even worse)? Good luck even launching bf3. I told him he got ripped off and his mom is all mad now that she paid so much. :v:

See if there's a FIRST Robotics Competition team near you. I'm on my local one, and it's amazing. The goal is to build a fully-fledged robot that can run and perform whatever task you need it to both autonomously and via human interfaces in 6 weeks. The entire time beforehand is spent learning the skills necessary in your sub-team.
For example, I'm on the programming sub-team (we use Java (and, unfortunately, only Netbeans is supported by FRC)), which means we need to learn both how the physical robot is set up (both mechanically and electronically) and provide code for it to perform the necessary functions as efficiently as possible. There are also sub-teams for mechanical and electrical engineering, documentation (via Autodesk Inventor), business/chairman (management, funding, allocation of resources, etc.), strategy (logical analysis of the year's challenge), web design, controls (running the robot for human-controlled portions of the competition), and probably a few more things I'm forgetting.
After the robot is built, you package it for shipping and go to the various regional competitions. For example, since I'm in the Southeast, I believe my team is going to the Florida, South Carolina, and North Carolina competitions (all of this has to be payed for via funding gathered by the business sub-teams). If you do well, you go to nationals in St. Louis. It's all good fun, and if your team is good, you LEARN YOUR SHIT.

What an incredibly shitty computer. He could have built my system except 2500k and probably a 6950 for that.

Before I was forced to drop out I signed up for Target Shooting (yeah lots to do with tech) and Robotics.

Man, you're picky about monitors.

I was having a 1024x768 fat monitor and playing Crysis on it till this summer
Now I'm on a 1024x600 monitor netbook and actually the screen size is pretty much okay for me

I grew up playing on a 800x600 11" CRT for one of my first computers. I've felt pain before.

I can second this. I'm in the BEST Robotics competition (NDSU hub), which is very similar to FIRST. It's kinda like becoming part of a corporation, as most everyone and their specific (and not so specific) duties, and if everybody does them things tend to go well. If you've ever looked into mechanical/electrical engineering and it gets you fired up this is the thing for you.
I have some random Excel bullshit due tomorrow and I wanted to put the file on the school's network so I only have to tell the teacher I already sent it to her (even though she can see it, she's weird, don't even ask...)
I'm trying to upload and then "COMMUNICATION ERROR"
Well fuck you too shitty college network.
I guess I'm going to try and find my flash drive then...
i am content
So I took a screenshot of a Word document, to ask my friend for his opinion on the way I laid it out. A few minutes later, I tab back into what I think is the document, and attempt to move something a bit. It wouldn't budge.
Then I realize it's merely the screenshot.

That would be incredibly useful.

Do you guys have any idea if an i3-2310M at 2.10 GHz would bottleneck a GeForce GT 525M?

Well one of my favourite moments from this current thread is LinuX being unbanned then getting him banned again. I also found one of his alts a while back, not a single post on it. Had a bit of a rant in his "About me".

How many should I take? v:v:v
They're all P4 2.4GHz with XP installed. The four to the right all have 1GB of ram (holy shit that's some high tech shit rite there), around 3 or 4 have 768, and the rest has 512MB.
