Clocker i am sure it went to a better place... where it was not cold but a perfect ambient temperature of 25c never going up or down... never leaking... always geting over 20k on the 3dmark tests without haveing to oc any...

:lol:

wow guys i wonder why you guys didn't pick up on his age... :blink:

I work on educating poeple with comps... i find that the more witty remarks they have to thow at you... (ok clocker you have a store of witty, smart relevant remarks that could fill the earth and then some...) the older they tend to be... personal expierience helps... :D

LOL 4.0 lol
LMAO
i try to maintian a 2.5... let alone a 4.0 lol Still happy for ya though very nice.

I see a lot of you guys "battle it out" in here and I like the fact that you seem to have sorted it out by yourselves. http://www.mcbriens.net/liam/img/smilies/thmbup.gif

You too 4th gen...are you a comp. sci major like Lamsey?

There is a lot of money to be made in that field, but a hell of a lot of work to do to earn it (at least in the US). 

Okay sorry for diverting the discussion, I had to say hi to my friends for a min.

---

I'm 'only' doing the Bachelor course, due to the fact I was doing chemistry major last year, but gave up. Still, the career prospects should be good if I stick in at it.

Can one of you guys please explain this "4.0 average" for a bemused outsider? :unsure:

1000th post on this account :beerchug:

edit: 7002 posts in total now :blink:

Cheers 4thGen!!!!

4.0 is the grade average.. 4.0=A so 4.0 solid means straight As...

I wish i had straight As, i qam currently however looking into certifacations...

I'm currently pushing a 4.0 the last two semesters, only problem, my second semester in college I decided the alcohol and MJ were my best friends, and came out with a 1.3, so my career average has been suckin' wind. I've finally got it to 3.03; hopefully I can get it up to at least a 3.5, and keep it there.
That one bad semester's really does stay with you, and haunt you the rest of your college span.

Not as bad as my buddy though, he enjoyed the parties with me that semester, and went on enjoying them for the next two semesters, and was booted out. Glad I at least had the good since to turn it around, so I didn't end up that way.

Ah, that makes some sense...
If A=4 and B=3, C=2 etc then I got a 3 average for 5th year at High School (5 highers, physics (A (band 1 :) ), chemistry (B ), maths (B ), geography (B ), english (c ))

no, YOU shut up. i'm not fighting with anyone. >:|

i made a post, then i made two more posts to try to make the first one more clear. arguing about computers is like arguing on the internet-- they're both for retards anyway. :lol:

i have heard of that system the 5s etc...

but i am in the Pre-IB program (international bacculoriate) sp?? and it is based on 4=a,3=b etc...

i am will be in IB next year and it uses the same... it is supposed to be world wide standerds for extreme honours classes or sumtin... :blink:

Well if your strength is in physics, that is a good thing. What kind of physics is it if it is not calculus based? AFAIK, physics is a nightmare. Part of Calculus is physics applications like "a ball is fall in at speed x at time z it hits particle y find the time they collide"...arrggh :angry:

Well thank you. No, Guatemala isn&#39;t an english-speaking country. It&#39;s quite the opposite. The "official" language is spanish. However, most people (even though they say they aren&#39;t) are mayan-descendant, so there are about 20+ (major) mayan languages, each according to the region they are located.

Nice grades adam :smilie4:
When I got out of high school, my average would be a 3/B/83. However, university has been a bitch. I won every class in the first semester with good grades (again, a good 3/b/8x average). However, the second semester was a bad one. Only passed one class, and with the minimum. Now I&#39;m battling to get my average up and running again :)
But now it&#39;s gonna be harder with a job :angry: hehe jk well at least I&#39;m learning more responsibility than what I had.

Olololol. Lemme see. The courses I take every year are mostly 2 important ones: Math and Physics (the other is computer programming, but this is more because of system engineering rather than just engineering). I guess they help you be patient and think about stuff before you do it. It&#39;s pretty hard, but it just takes time to learn :)

The physics I used to do in high school was the calculus based kind. "If you apply a force of 80N to a 10Kg box what is the acceleration" (obviously one of the easy examples ;)). At uni I was doing Mechanics & Materials and Waves & Optics.

You&#39;re welcome, I like to help out as many people as I can, I take great satisfaction from it :)

Damn, that sounds like a load of fun <_< I&#39;m just in Pre AP Algebra right now and Pre AP biology, so I am not on that high of a level, but it does look mighty confusing :( Oh well, I will get it im sure.

BTW...right now im on the school computer...like 333Mhz PII with 64MB of PC66 ram...what a PIECE OF SHIT haha....the letters take like 5 seconds to even show up on the screen&#33; haha...newayz..yall have a good day&#33;

The bachelor degree is a 4 year course and the master degree is a 5 year course. Not sure about job prospects at the moment.

around 8 I&#39;d say

Lolol. Ok so that everyone understands:

Si, vivo en Guatemala. Sin embargo, nací en Costa Rica. Afortunadamente, mi inglés no apesta (o es una mierda, como decimos aqui :P ) Estudié en un buen colegio :)

Yes I do live in Guatemala. I was born in Costa Rica, though. I&#39;m glad my english doesn&#39;t suck. I was taught in a good school though :)

Gladly, I learned the lesson. Right now, I&#39;m doing MUCH better, I&#39;m not missing classes, etc. And hopefully, this adds up to the fact that I start my new job on monday&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33; w0oh0o&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33; :01:

Well I could just kinda see a piece of land sticking out into the ocean that they said was Guatamala. I was in Pounta Gorda at the time...the pretties stuff would have to be Blue Creek (are you familiar with that?) and the Jungle areas oh and cant forget the coral reefs. We flew over those in a plane..omg it was soo tight...great weather too.

um..unecessary...im a 7 on his rubric...why dont you shut the fuck up..im a 7 on his rubric...thats what it is...its a fact..i did all of the stuff..stfu

I know more about computers then anyone in my 5A school..i know alot about them almost more then my computer tech teacher...i help people with alot of stuff...why would u be 30,000 if im 8? which i changed to 7 on his rubric huh? is it because i like asus and not epox <_< I know alot about computers...ive been offered jobs at computer places, so i dont know why your 30,000 if im 8. [/b][/quote]
Woah, didnt think you would actually reply to my post like that.

Anyway, why I would be 30k if you were 8? Or I guess, 26.250k to your 7? Do the math.

Look, I could care less how much you know compared to the people in your school. I could care less if you know more than your computer teacher. What you know, and what is supposdly a 7, or an 8 or whatever on this scale, seems to be very low for a 7, or an 8.

I would rate myself with 7.
I have many things to learn, but i can handle well my software and hardware.
The last 6-7 years, there wasn't a problem that i didn't manage to solve alone.
Hardware problem or software problem.

your software and hardware ?

I mean that i can format my PC alone and i can fix more of the issues that a user may have in windows...

I also can find out what part (hardware) of my PC has a problem without go to a technician...
So i can buy a new one and fix it alone.

Nothing special, but 10 years ago i was paying a PC technician for every little problem, so it's an improvement for me !!!

I dreaded taking my computer to a tech! That encouraged me to learn the same way you have, tt. It's amazing how reluctant some people are to trying new things. Just contacted my dad/step-mom recently. I sent them a link to a gallery of my kids that somehow didn't make a link on their end. I showed them how to copy & paste- they were impressed with the trick. :01: They are not the worst I have come across in the family, though... My wife's sister has had to call us several times to do the same exact thing. :frusty: I've lost a lot of respect for her. :ermm:

@thetrader don't feel sorry you will learn in no time if u keep posting in forums n giving replies or atleast u will know how to respond properly

@megabyteme even i do face situations like especially , when i was managing a internet cafe lot of noobs visits the center n many of em dont even know how to do basic stuff properly n blame the systems even if try to teach them the proper way they wont learn.

That's gotta be Hell dealing with people at an internet cafe. My condolences. :)
