----------------------------------- Cervantes Fri Feb 06, 2004 5:54 pm Queen's U - E=MC^2 program. ----------------------------------- 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 ----------------------------------- santabruzer Fri Feb 06, 2004 7:39 pm ----------------------------------- Ha ha.. gifted eh?... yea.. same.. $400 man.. too expensive.. i personally would either take C or robotics.. probably robotics, since i can learn C anytime..... ----------------------------------- Cervantes Sat Feb 07, 2004 10:23 am ----------------------------------- 400$ is too expensive for me too :( 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 :) ----------------------------------- PaddyLong Sat Feb 07, 2004 1:28 pm ----------------------------------- 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 ----------------------------------- Andy Sat Feb 07, 2004 1:42 pm ----------------------------------- or get something called bit torrent ----------------------------------- santabruzer Sat Feb 07, 2004 1:44 pm ----------------------------------- iono.. people.. apparently can't and don't want to set it up.. and would rather use the Spyware filled Kazza.. instead of Emule, or BT.. or even IRC... it's pretty weird.. but so are people :P ----------------------------------- Andy Sat Feb 07, 2004 1:47 pm ----------------------------------- i noe a site where u can get all the files for vc 6.0 but... it takes too long ----------------------------------- santabruzer Sat Feb 07, 2004 1:51 pm ----------------------------------- i own Visual C 6.0... with Visual Studio 6.0 Professional.. it was a gift for my uncle.. who got lazy and gave it to me.. just because i started to program.. so i don't need any of this.... piracy... that i never used in my life before :roll: .... and never will :roll: *gets paranoid* ----------------------------------- Cervantes Sat Feb 07, 2004 1:51 pm ----------------------------------- yeah downloading C on a 28.8K internet connection doesn't sound like too much fun :? ----------------------------------- Maverick Sat Feb 07, 2004 2:07 pm ----------------------------------- People dont use use Bit Torrent, because once you do You are classified a ner.d. BT is just plain gay. ----------------------------------- Mazer Sat Feb 07, 2004 3:01 pm ----------------------------------- Hey, Maverick, did that make any sense to you? Bit Torrent is great. ----------------------------------- santabruzer Sat Feb 07, 2004 3:03 pm ----------------------------------- i say we should have a poll.. nah.. seriously Bit Torrent is better than any other downloading P2P... any other one.. it's fast.. and very siMple... not really targetted by the RIAA too.. so all in all.. amazing.. simply ----------------------------------- Maverick Sat Feb 07, 2004 3:03 pm ----------------------------------- To me it did. In my head. I duno I just hate Bit Torrent or maybe its all those forums with cracks and other geekish tendicies ----------------------------------- Andy Sat Feb 07, 2004 5:13 pm ----------------------------------- bit torrent is pretty good... i still use k++ more ----------------------------------- Maverick Sat Feb 07, 2004 5:23 pm ----------------------------------- Ya i use k++ as well. And who the hell cares about the RIAA theres a 1 in 1 Billion chane ull ge ttargetted ----------------------------------- Cervantes Sat Feb 07, 2004 5:43 pm ----------------------------------- but if it is you, you are in serious trouble. and its not quite a billion :eh: ----------------------------------- Andy Sat Feb 07, 2004 6:30 pm ----------------------------------- 1 in 1 billion??? us doesnt even have a billion ppl ----------------------------------- Cervantes Sat Feb 07, 2004 6:41 pm ----------------------------------- my point exactly :) except if you download/upload a TON you are more likely to be sued. ----------------------------------- Maverick Sun Feb 08, 2004 1:26 pm ----------------------------------- 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. ----------------------------------- Mazer Sun Feb 08, 2004 2:21 pm ----------------------------------- 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. ----------------------------------- PaddyLong Sun Feb 08, 2004 5:17 pm ----------------------------------- irc > * for downloading shit. (especially once you get 0day/sec hook ups :) ) ----------------------------------- Paul Sun Feb 08, 2004 5:29 pm ----------------------------------- 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. ----------------------------------- PaddyLong Tue Feb 10, 2004 11:26 am ----------------------------------- you go to websites that have the links for the "torrents" ----------------------------------- Cervantes Tue Feb 10, 2004 4:43 pm ----------------------------------- such as www.suprnova.org ----------------------------------- Paul Tue Feb 10, 2004 6:50 pm ----------------------------------- When I click on a file, it opens up my shareaza instead of using bit torrent, I dunno... ----------------------------------- Mazer Sat Feb 14, 2004 2:58 pm ----------------------------------- 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. ----------------------------------- roer Mon Feb 16, 2004 11:54 am ----------------------------------- Submited my application on Friday 8) Robotics Power Up! Imaging Processing and Java Engineering I couldnt justify putting C in there, I took the C++ course last year and I didnt do much. Dont feel like wasting money again ----------------------------------- Cervantes Mon Feb 16, 2004 4:46 pm ----------------------------------- Nice.. Robotics :) My final decision was: Robotics Is there a GAP in your life? How not to do with you're told ( :P ) Fuel Cells Image Processing and Java Hope to see you in robotics :) unfortunately I think that class is gunna be pretty full :eh: 3 out of the 6 people going from my school (including me) put robotics first :? Anyways, I'm Geoff.. Hope to see you in Robotics :)
