Anesthesia

Perhaps this "I'm gonna get smashed!!11" attitude is why the drinking age there is 21. Yet still so many 21 year olds can't act responsibly...

I've got the biggest conceivable graphics card and it will fit into any case just fine. It's only a problem for me because I'm using so many hard drives that it blocks out one of the bays. Unless you're using a smaller standard case like ITX or MicroATX then you won't have to worry about things fitting in.

My point was they have a finger in their pie whereas they don't with other developers.

Microsoft is only getting to do that because it has agreements with Bungie.

Hahahaha, ironic quote of the century! Remember that if you're building your own machine and aren't into piracy then you'll have to budget for a copy of windows too.

Hah. Pay through the nose to get the latest anti-consumer-freedom OS in order to play a port of a 2-year-old console game? Somehow I don't think that will get them far.

It's a reference to The Catherine Tate Show.

Oh really mate? Last I heard, you put a comma when listing things, unlike yourself. next time you have proper English okay? >>-----His Joke-----> ((Your Head)) Anyway, talking to her boyfriend about it must be the stupidest suggestion yet. Where on earth is that supposed to get you? You think he's gonna say "Oh well lets share her"? The only real option is to usurp.

He's using VB6 at school.

You will get to know how to do them fast when you are in class. There is virtually nothing to it. What I am saying is that learning how to do that at home won't help you much in the long run and will be incredibly difficult without having visual studio right there in front of you when you're trying to learn.

It would be very hard to learn how to use visual basic specifically without having the program there in front of you. Very hard. If you can then I'd suggest going to a computer room that's not in use and having a play around there if you can. Also, learning how to create controls isn't what will speed you up most effectively. That is knowledge that can be gained on the fly, in a matter of minutes generally. You would be better off learning the logic of programming and the different concepts available such as ifs, for-next, do-while etc. These could then be done in pseudocode without you ever having to touch a machine, and they will apply in pretty much every language you'll learn. Learning how to program will help you go faster, not learning how to use specific features of the VB IDE. I think VB is a good language to learn to program in, it was one of the ones I learnt with (along with Pascal). Certainly easier than going straight into Java. However you may encounter some problems if you then try VB.NET expecting it to be something like 'VB 7'.

Are you using VB or VB.NET? In my experience .NET is harder because of all the object orientation crap, which I hate. If you are not using .NET I would recommend just playing around with the controls available to you, seeing how they work and what effects each of the variables have. Most of it is very easy to work out as things are well labelled. I had very little VB.NET experience then I was just told out of the blue for an assignment in my HCI module to code a pocketpc MP3 player... I didn't use many tutorials, most of the things I managed to work out from the IDE alone (the autocomplete when entering keywords is really helpful for that). Perhaps set yourself a challenge and then try and accomplish it. In my experience no tutorial quite compares to figuring it out for yourself.

I built one for my flatmate last week and the PSU (one which came free with a ÃÆââ¬Å¡Ãâã20 case - go figure) exploded, with a bang and sparks. Got a new PSU and nothing was damaged by the explosion thankfully. I have built them with no problems before, though those times are a minority. I'd say 3/4 times something will go wrong, but I don't think thats very bad when you consider just how much CAN go wrong... All the hardware setup and then all the software setup, it's very easy to carelessly overlook something. And that's what most of the things that will go wrong whilst building are - careless (and harmless in the long-term) oversights.

And in English?

It's the not-related-to-runescape board, not the spam-with-pointless-sputum board.

So are you though.

Music & Movies forum?

Me: Are you from Romania? Him: No, I am from spain Me: What part of spain? Him: Is that your name?

Maybe you've been smoking too much if you can't spell sentence? ;)

Read what he said Rizla, you're contradicting him. He's saying it is only chemically and not psychologically. Which is wrong.

I don't like emo, but I don't like the original poster even more. What an idiot.

I don't use it, so my vision is not clouded by that fog. That's why I'm bothering to speak up, because I know I have a neutral point of view.

Also I should add that when marijuana has been cited as a carcinogen and causing lung problems it is just as likely that tobacco has caused the problems as marijuana is generally mixed with tobacco for smoking. To say that marijuana CAUSED the death of the people you have 'investigated' is silly. Chemically you would have you be REALLY trying to die from it, much like dying from drinking too much water. If it's psychologically then its obviously not the sole cause. I don't use it, by the way.

I'd just like to add that wikipedia shows that there have been ZERO proven cases of cannabis causing death. There has been something like 2 disputed ones. The world over.

What pamphlet did you memorise that from? Same goes for the rest of the spiel.
