Frigid, I'd like you to tell me what store I can walk into in Australia to purchase any of the original King's Quest games. Next time think before you blurt out a rote response to anything that mentions "Kazaa."

Guys if you aren't old enough to remember the King's Quest series then you wouldn't know it's old enough to be abandonware. In fact some developers went to enough trouble to re-code one of the King's Quest games in full colour. Anyway, towards your problem: if you are running Windows XP...

Are you sorting the objects based on the weight of their dependencies? Or something else? What is a "layer"?

Dude, programming is just implementing algorithms (they're the same processes, one more abstract than the other). You'll be doing this no matter what your project is. From what J0n posted, the BOS' suggestions are excellent. You will have no trouble drawing up pretty flowcharts and algorithms...

How do you calculate your GPA? And can someone with shitty results please post them to give me a much-needed ego boost.

Spot on, my project was around half-way complete, but I did very thorough documentation and explained why it wasn't complete and why that occured, etc. and I got full marks.

I third that (if the assignment is in Java/C).

Bingo. May I add horrible?

I've heard of an accelerated Dip Ed program for experienced IT workers - I think you get it in a peried of six months and perhaps rebated by the government. My memorys' a bit sketchy on the details but it does/did exist. I have an inkling to do the same thing as you Beaky. I'm doing a...

For the cs1721 prac I got 1, 3 and 4 done thoroughly (even managed to test Q4 with the sample network they gave in the Q :D). Then I was reminded of my stupidity when I tried to do the MIPS Q... Like I was talking to McLake about after the test, the combined mark of theory and prac is taken...

Henderson, note that this refers to design and not programming of the back-end. Getting a developer to program the back-end of an ecommerce site will cost you a lot. How much? Well if anyone asks for less than several thousand they are kidding themselves on how much work it will take (or maybe...

This sentence worries me a bit. Is this really a "basic" page - or do you want customers to enter in credit card details, have a shopping cart, etc.? If it's the latter, you want an e-commerce site, and you will pay dearly for it if you want someone to make it for you.

Yea it's like 11 or 12 hours a week. Friggin commerce department.

Mate, if you think it's a good idea then you have no idea. Draw up a business plan first and figure out the money you need. A computer store is a low-margin business. You have lots of competition that will sell inferior goods at ultra-low margins and force you to do the same. Be prepared to...

Yes you can. But you don't do it in the way you would imagine - you can't access it directly. The good thing about VMWare is that it can allow the emulated PC to have it's own IP on your network, so that you can run something like an FTP server or Samba (Windows file sharing) in linux, and...

I've heard that they are very lousy. Certification doesn't count for much these days, they have been turned into money machines for the companies that run them. So many monkeys have them that they are becoming worthless.

Virtual PC is software that emulates a computer inside your operating system. It creates an interface between itself and your computer, so that programs which run inside it actually use your hardware, but think they are running inside a completely different box. Look here for screenshots of...

I will give the steps. Hopefully Winston won't mind, seeing as they will take you a while to do: 1. Learn Assembly. 2. Decompile the selected program. 3. Go through the decompiled assembly code and find the section of code that time-limits the software. 3 (a). Alter this code. Have fun...

The method I used is technically called "the mash." Proceed to mash your hand over different areas of the keyboard until you find the letter you want. Make your "mash matrix" smaller in area each time until you find the key. Rinse, repeat.

It does if you touch type! Realistically, a good typist will be around as fast on qwerty as on dvorak. However, they will most likely enjoy dvorak more because they won't have pain in their hands after lots of typing.
