  1. At my school, I have no idea what kind of computers they are, but they're more powerful than mine, and mine is a pretty new (a few months old) computer! They have a bunch of programs on them, including Photoshop, all of Microsoft Office, Macromedia Flash and Dreamweaver, and loads of other cool stuff.We even have Counter Strike on the computers (no lie, we get to play CS in class (since it's the last week of term at the moment))!But yeah, we use the computer labs a lot in our school, there are 6 computer labs total: one in the library, one in the science block, one in the technology block, two on the second floor and one on the third. So, basically any class can just head off to a computer lab if needed (though some are booked for some lessons). Anything that we need to use computers for, or a computer can facilitate us, we use the computer labs.There are even some class rooms that have computers (though they are older computers, probably 3 years old or less).We also have a lot of technology classes, including: Internets & Intranets, Digital Images, Multimedia, Computer Applications, and Computer Programming.Though, I think it would be awsome if every student got a laptop from the school :rolleyes:


  2. Here are my poems I had to write for English homework. Please don't be too harsh, I know I suck, but still :rolleyes: it's not really that easy to write poems.

    Note: Wild Beasts was written from sentences found in the book All Quiet On The Western Front by Erich Maria Remarque.

     

    Fated Children

    Turn, my Fated Children,

    Watch and mourn for the helpless cries,

    Watch the men and women die

    Don't let them lie: war is terrible,

    It''s not patriotic, it's murder

    Weep, my Fated Children

    Let the doves fly,

    Let this war end

     

    Don't fall, my Fated Children,

    Don't let the bad men get you,

    Don't let the tunnels collapse,

    Stop the dying

    Millions of souls rising to Heaven,

    As the soldiers battle in Hell

     

    Shattered cries, stabbing pains,

    Charging into battle, ripping into shreds

    The wounded, the dead,

    The corpses, the lead

    Sleep, my Fated Children

    Wait for the end, the end of mourning,

    The end of it all

    Rise to Heaven, fly

     

    No Mercy

    With an evil smile, he slowly lifts his gun

    Squeezing the trigger, as his victims run

    Tripping, afraid to die, his victims weep and cry

    Remorcilessly, he crushes hopes and dreams,

    Shattering lives

     

    The women and children, the elderly too

    He sprays lead wildly ripping through

    Silent screams, clutching hands

    He never underestands

    He has no mercy

     

    Never tiring, he keeps on firing

    Splattering red all on the floor

    He doesn't care; it isn't fair

    Ending lives, many hearts he tore

    Hearts to love nevermore

     

    Dying, killing, falling, tripping

    Too much death, no mercy

     

    Wild Beasts

    His face has an expression of calm

    He says nothing; he is entirely alone now

    He still breathes, his face is wet

    Alone

    Thin, miserable, dirty

    The hours pass quick if a man broods

    The bones have not lasted out

    Meaningless words, he is not the first

    His eyes roll, it can't be helped

    The others have turned pale

    We have become wild beasts.


  3. Man, I absoloutely love the ragdoll physics in CS:S. If you don't know what I mean by ragdoll physics is this: when you kill someone, they don't just fall to the ground in a pre-animated sort of death, they fall realistically, and sometimes end up in funny positions.

    Do you guys have any pictures of funny ragdoll deaths?

     

    Here's mine:

    Hiiilarious.


  4. My favourite books are the Scarecrow series by Matthew Reilly (an Australian author), though I also enjoy his other books and any Sci-fi books by Michael Crichton (Prey, Jurassic Park are the best), as well as Stephen Baxter (Space, Evolution are the only ones I've read).

     

    The Scarecrow series (Ice Station, Area 7, Scarecrow) are Action Thriller books that focus on a US Marine named Shane Schofield, call sign: Scarecrow. These books have probably the best action sequences I've ever read. Ever.

    Here, take this for example (quote from Area 7):

    It was as if the desert just came alive.

    The dusty desert floor parted -- sand falling off canvas ambush covers -- and suddenly, from both sides of Hendricks, about a dozen man-sized shapes rose from the sand, sub-machine guns raised and firing.

    A second later, a 9-millimetre Silvertip bullet entered Hendricks's brain from the side. The subsequent gaseous expansion of the hollow-pointed projectile caused his head to explode.

    Hendricks never saw the man who killed him.

    Never saw the dark team of desert wraiths take down the rest of his men with clinical, ruthless efficiency.

    And he never saw them take his helicopter and fly it back toward Area 7.

    And that's just one of the extremely mild scenes.

     

    Prey is about a bunch of micro-machines that were accidently released and are causing chaos to a team of programmers in a factory in the desert in Nevada.

     

    Jurassic Park, well, I'm sure you all know what Jurassic Park is about.

     

    Space is about the discovery of aliens and a man's journey into the future, while Evolution is about the evolution of primates to humans, and then beyond (500 thousand years into the future).


  5. Well, I used to play Outwar (outwar.com), but it sort of got boring.I also used to play Kings Of Chaos, but that got boring as well.Now, by online games, do you mean games that are on webpages, or games that you can play online (multiplayer games, such as, hmm, World of Warcraft for example).I like some flash games, but I dunno, some of them bore me a lot. Though I make my own too :rolleyes: (they're stupid though).As for multiplayer games, I like first person shooters (Counter Strike: Source, Unreal Tournament 2004) and MMORPGs (Massive Multiplayer Online Role Playing Games such as Anarchy Online, and World Of Warcraft (which I haven't played but heard is really good)).


  6. By downloading a template, I am guessing you downloaded a .zip file with a .fla and a .swf in it?If so, you need Macromedia Flash to edit the .fla, the .swf is just the movie that isn't editable.If you don't have Macromedia Flash, and you can't afford it, I'm afraid you probably can't edit it, unfortunately (though I highly suggest buying Flash, it's an extremely useful tool).Well, that's my advice anyway.


  7. As HmmZ said, PHP is compatible with every browser. It is a server side script, which means that when you say on your browser http://www.yoursitehere.com/, the server which hosts your site will automatically make the php page into html, which is read by all browsers.

    The problem could be either with your coding, or with any Javascript you may be using (I had this same problem, I was coding a PHP rpg type game, and it used some javascript to open and close boxes, worked fine in Firefox but not in IE). Maybe you can post the code here so we can take a look?
