are there any GR 10's out there that are going on the Queen's E=MC^2 program?

I'm not too sure what order to pick my courses...

the four are:
Introduction to Java and Image Processing
Power of the C!
Engineering
Robotics

Ha ha.. gifted eh?... yea.. same.. $400 man.. too expensive.. i personally would either take C or robotics.. probably robotics, since i can learn C anytime.....

400$ is too expensive for me too Sad thing is there have been a bunch of school trips (like to Sudbury and Quebec) but I'm too poor to go, saved money instead. This is think is worth it though.

anyways, you can learn C anytime? you have C? or know of some possibly illegal site to get C? Wink

thanks for the advice, I think robotics will be either number 1 or 2 on my choice list Smile

dude... you can get free c and c++ compilers pretty easily... just the full out ide's like borland or visual c++ that are costly. robotics would probably be my first choice though, then probably the java one, then the c one and the engineering one last

my point exactly Smile

except if you download/upload a TON you are more likely to be sued.

Post subject: 

Sorry 1 in a million. And really no matter how much u dl theres sum ass who downloads 50 times more.

And cervantes i hardley think that its likely u will be sued. So far like 30 or less have been sued in like 100 million pplz.

k++?! I only use it for music. For programs, games, movies and shows bit torrent owns all. Because for the software, you're downloading the actual CD image and not some poorly cracked version that *may* work and *may* have all the sounds/music/cutsenes intact. Also, you don't have dickheads who choose to only let a certain number of people download at a time, or the ones who cancel your download.

how does bit torrent work? I went to the website and downloaded it, then in the folder there was btdownloadgui.exe, when I run it, I can't download cause theres a bunch of errors.

you go to websites that have the links for the "torrents"

Author:  Cervantes [ Tue Feb 10, 2004 4:43 pm ]

www.suprnova.org

When I click on a file, it opens up my shareaza instead of using bit torrent, I dunno...

Author:  Mazer [ Sat Feb 14, 2004 2:58 pm ]
Post subject: 

So change the file options to open torrent files with bit torrent instead. Go to any folder, click on tools > folder options > click on the file types tab, then scroll down to TORRENT and make sure it's set to open with btdownloadgui.
