Hey Saint Michael,I don't know you very well, but I wanted to send you my best wishes nonetheless. It's great to hear that you're going back to school. I hear your worries about the financial stuff but hey, if you're determined enough, you'll make it through. Regardless, learning is one of those everyday, lifelong things and despite how comfortable you might be with the course material, there's always something new to learn.Again, all my best.

I go to McMaster University (in Ontario, Canada) and many of our courses offer Podcast lectures. Sometimes, lectures are pre-recorded, or the instructor makes a video of his/her lecture in class and uploads it a few hours later. It's a very neat resource to have, especially to go over the lectures again. It's great for studying, and it surely allows technology to enter the scene as a learning aid. I totally dig it!

If you're in high school, is there a chance that you may enrol in a co-op program of sorts and see if you can get a placement as a network admin associate or something of the sort? Job shadowing gives you a great chance to see what the job is like and if it's really the right fit for you. You might also be able to get recommendations or networking from people who are already in the field.

I don't see why not. If the software is up to par with the current industry leaders, then why not go for a cheaper alternative? In all honesty, big-name companies shouldn't have a monopoly over the products that they sell. If competitors are just as good then they'll have no choice but to lower their over-inflated prices to stay in the market.

A few little things just off the top of my head: try bringing out your name "sylenzednuke" a bit more. Perhaps a brighter border around the text, or a color of starker contrast against the black.As was previously mentioned, the sig is also a tad large and the border does look quite chunky. The background is fitting but looks a little too blurred. Perhaps shrink the text and bring out the background some more?

It's always good to look back and see how 'complication' derives from 'simplicity'.I can still remember my very first computer... or the CPU unit, at least. It was this massive rectangular block and it basically required a table all to itself. The metal casing made it pretty much impossible to carry around. On the side, was this giant red switch that one would have to flick to the turn the baby on/off.Now look at the laptops that are on the market. The darned things are getting smaller and smaller and incresingly powerful. Comapre the 16K of memory that was once more than sufficient with the 1 gig memories that are now pretty much standard.It's good to see knowledge / inventions evolving and continually being built upon. To IBM, I raise my glass!

Though I've yet to try out Lego Star Wars II, I can surely say that the first game was just a lot of fun. It retains a lot of the LucasArts kind of feel but at the same time adds in a lot of Lego to give you that chance to relive your childhood.If the second game is anything like the first, I'd surely recommend trying it out.

That's just horrible. Actually, it's quite disgusting - profitting off the death of your own offspring.

It's so unfortunate when these things happen. Sometimes, we want to understand the underlining causes that led up to this: what motivated the person to do it? what did the person hope to have gained from his/her actions, why couldn't this person resolve his/her issues in another way...It's such a pity when people can't resolve their problems on their own or by asking for help and instead resolve to such extremes to get their point across.

I've been wanting to see that movie too. I believe that it was on limited release (unfortunate, cause I do agree that the trailer was quite attractive).Thank you for your quick movie critique, morosophos. Scanner is definitely a movie that I'll want to look into, despite the fact that movies with Keanu are sometimes quite hard to watch due to his linear acting style.

Well, give her some time to think things through. From what I can draw in your brief description of her, she might not be interested in a relationship at the moment because of other obligations in her life i.e. her studies. Needless to say though, five years is a long time to be attracted to someone and props to you for being so dedicated.Let her know you care (and this might not be something that needs to be said... actions speak louder than words) and give it time!Good luck.

Here are a few off the top of my head:1) Buttons on dress shirts that go missing2) The abandonned grocery cart in the middle of a grocery aisle / in the parking lot3) People borrowing stuff and not returning it4) Crinkly cereal bags (trust me, they are brutal to wake up to)5) Extremely tight/hard to open packaging6) Cleaning the spit valves in instruments7) People who do not pull their own weight when working on a group assignment8) People who use the last of something and don't bother ordering more / letting the person in charge of inventory know that something needs replacing/restocking9) Running out of toilet paper10) Smelly breath11) Weak garbage bags12) Spilling a bottle of marbles / something round and having to clean up after all the items that rolled away13) A clock that read the wrong time14) Overstuffed wraps that explode with the ingredients leaking all over the place15) Dirty public washrooms16) People who replace showering with the "AXE" treatment17) Ruined laundry18) A wet floor in the washroom19) Remorseless work overload20) Running out of hosting creditsCheers

My pick has to go to Fifa. I first got into the series back when Fifa '97 was out and have since been a loyal fan. Although I can see why other games are gaining in popularity (because EA has yet to re-invent themselves...), the Fifa series has consistently served up good gameplay and relatively good graphics with each new release.

Although I'm pretty out of the loop with regard to current events (just way too busy and also because of the fact that I'm caught in the university campus bubble), it just saddens me to hear of another such tragedy.If I recall correctly (do correct me if I'm wrong), the gunman had military training and that was where he had obtained his weapons.My condolences to the victims and their families.

Well, an artist has to protect her work right? I can see how she (or anyone for that matter) would become overly protective of the final volume of her masterpiece.
