College gets scarier by the month, what with words like "iron fist" and "fail" being thrown around, at least we get a warning, but the mystery's a killer.

Mathew - Got the lab out, working with the book and the program makes a big difference. I used tabs initially but they wanted it right alligned so it was setw ftw. They still said pad it out with spaces though, seemed like cheating in my books but I couldn't figure a better way so they win! Thanks for all the help anyway.

Btw, using boards in the mac lab didn't go too well. It would load like a tenth of the page and just stop. Ghey.

Nice one.. Best way to learn really... In theory you wont forget it now!! :P
Never had a problem with boards in the mac lab tho.. Always seems to work..

Baza, if you saved that file to the desktop of the mac, or to your file storage, you can get at it there..

Boards works fine for me in the Mac lab.. better than in the PC lab as a matter of fact, the PC I was using yesterday didn't have JavaScript.

JavaScript != Java

Brian

I'm pretty sure it's JavaScript that's used for the drop down menus on boards..

Maybe so, but a computer does not have 'javascript'
A computer may have Java installed to allow running of Java apps... difference

Boston

javaScript does not need a java virtual machine.

Brian

Now nobody knows what's going on, so I declare victory. It's the Engineering thread after all.

yea it is a bit too crude for here, but let just say its not a plesent, or frequently seen design

I've got a bit of a problem with this weeks computer assignment. I know how to do it I just don't understand what she's saying in the description of it:

Frames come in two types- regular and fancy. The frames come in white and can be ordered in any colour the customer desires. Suppose that each frame is one inch wide. The cost of colouring the frame is €0.10 per inch. The cost of the regular frame is 0.15 per inch and the cost of a fancy frame is €0.25 per inch........

the program should prompt the user to input the following information:

a. the length and width in inches, of the picture.......
....

when she says "The cost of colouring the frame is €0.10 per inch." does that mean the cost is (€0.10)x(perimeter of the frame)?
also : "The cost of the regular frame is 0.15 per inch and the cost of a fancy frame is €0.25 per inch". does per inch here mean per inch perimeter?

I've been reading this question over and over for about 30 mins and still can't decide what she means. what d'you think???

Jonathan

Yea. It means the perimeter.

Peleus

ye, thats what i thought. Nice one!

Brian

Damn, I need that assignment sheet.

uprooted shane

just get it from the web page

Jonathan

It's all (and by all I mean the whole course) there on her webpage..

Managed to to the Maths homework.. the WileyPLUS assignment was a hell of a lot easier than the stuff the lecturer was doing on Limits..

Jonathan

*bump*

mathew

we could do with a bit of off topic ness.. we've been quite good on thread recently....

Jonathan

Civil engineering is a load of crap.


Discuss.

Brian

So how many bleedin' Engineers showed up at this once touted "Engineers Beers". 3. THREE. Yous is failures.


j- doing lab report during the day tomorow, cba now.

devinejay

Bloody WileyPlus, it's ghey!

Well it's not too bad really, but I just got done a couple of times. It asked for the answer to two decimal places so I answered .66 and 0.66, only to recieve two big Xs and it turns out the correct answer was 2/3. Just me or was that misleading? Also htf do you enter the infinity symbol without the snazzy text editor, it's not in the regular syntax set!

Brian

What off-topicness is this?

Jonathan

I downloaded about 2.5gb today in less than an hour.

Nothing at all.

Mmmm...ok, off topicness.

Anyone here watch heroes? New series is pretty good right?

That should be off topic enough to squeeze in one more eng comment;
WileyPlus officially sucks balls, page load error for the last hour and half before the deadline. WTF!

yup.

xubuntu 8.10
ubuntu 8.10
win xp sp2 standalone install
win xp sp3 standalone install
win vista sp1 standalone install

I xubuntu is for me, but the rest are handy to have for when you are out fixing pcs for people.

Exercise your right* to submit a hard copy! Jesus, you kids these days are too afraid to step on toes.


*Right may not actually exist, look up college calender.

The questions are online though, and are randomly assigned to each user.

Interesting. Why didn't I hear of this MSDNAA while I was actually a student? A few spare copies of XP wouldn't go amiss.
