Intersting post, true in many senses of the word. I mean i'm not saying i'm perfect when i started i was very noobish stole pieces of code here there and everywhere, none of it was published but it was a good way to learn.

Even now, 2 years experience and various contracts and jobs behind me, i'm still proud of writing lots of lines (obviously the quality is still there) and like to complain abotu the amoutn of support questions i get. In all honesty i don't treat them like idiots but it does get annoying constnatly repeating yourself.

Everyone has their tendencies and flaws i can't say i actually know someone who can tick all of the list above =p

this is simply how the system deals with it.

you send pm
pm goes to your outbox
pm goes to your receivers inbox
user reads pm
pm goes to your sentbox
pm is marked read in receivers inbox.

therefore if the PM isn't read then it will never leave your outbox but will be sent.

ah but we english made the damn language. we dictate whats right and whats not in english

lol sam this just seems a random rant

the politics. i've talkde recently to a lot of my efriends who i usd to work with, and the amout of politics involved in a lot of websites, forums ect seems to ruin the internet

i guess it depends upon context. if we were talking say in business terms then it doesn't require a large amoutn of money to earn in the bucket loads. ok at the start it may cost small maintanance fees, domain, server ect but then you can make large money off it, then with a high traffic use advertising to compensate your expenditure. in social terms if you were going out with your friends sometimes you should pay for it, then othertimes your mate will pay for it.

i mean personlly i pay ofr my share, then will pay for anyone else if they need some money (in case they spent it somewhere else) i never ask for the money back, but they're usually courteous enough to do so and/or pay for me if i need to. so yeah. as for my coding side i only pay for a domain which is currently obselete and i've made a few hundred over the past few years, and its taken nothing but hard graft.

i think saying "You can't get money for nothing" is a much fairer statement imo

its a person. bah didn't kmnow that lol. i just remember it as that string of 9 letters. so i find mine a lot easier

i just remember SOH CAH TOA. where teh first letter is the ratio, the second is the numerator and teh third is the denominator.

so letter1(angle) = letter2 / letter 3

SOH = [ Sine = Opposite / Hypotunuse ]
CAH = [ Cosine = Adjacent / Hypotunuse ]
TOA = [ Tangent = Opposite / Adjacent ]

i find that easier

i've actually never watched a videocast, i've listened to various podcasts but not followed tehm explicitly. i guess i never follow videocasts because as you say they are mearly a podcast with an image of some ugly bloke

. its hardly your multiaward winning tv series. i think videocasts was one of those great ideas that just went al wrong when put into practice

if ti runs off usb is there then like no limit to how many you can plug into your computer, say if you just baught those 4-usb extendy thingies. that'ld be quite funky

i enjoy just having the two screens i can use on my laptop so that could make it a lot more fun

gah its all so true lol. the amoutn of little eror boxes i get in vista is just frustrating. whats worse is most of them seem to bring themselves to the front and stop me fom doing anything else

lol i like the dreamweaver : no error occured

sadly the rupee isn't a lot of worth. 1 trillion rupee is about 24 billion us dollars (according to xe: 1 USD to 40.9 Rupee). i looked on the internet for the world's richest people i found:
he's 14th richest in the world, William Gates III on 56.0 Billion is the richest, Warren Buffett second with 52 billion Carlos Slim Melu third with 49.0 billion (all in USD). Full listings: Forbes.com. Not too suprising Gates is up there is it

So it's something that pretty much everyone worldwide ends up doing, examinations at the end of the year or during the year for high school, uni, and for other educational purposes that gets us somewhere in life.

So i saw on BBC news this morning that David Cameron (Torie leader (UK)) wanted to hold year 6 students back a year in primary school if they fail to achieve well in their SATs exams.
(See full article at BBC News)

The Standerdized Assessment Tests are examinations in english science and maths that all students in England must take at the end of each Key Stage in their education; so this is year 2, 6 and 9 ages: 7,11 and 14. However i didn't want to address Cameron's quite strange proposition
(which although would make children achieve higher could certain be quite demeaning to morale of young 11 year old students and pile on the pressure of the exams, which really are just used as benchmarks for the government to see how well their education schemes are.

I want to know how effective you find exams? Do they stress you out and do they really represent your academic achievements. I myself have just accepted them as part of schooling and find them relatively easy

I much prefer to sit a final exam rather then have an averged assessment of my year.

The UK government are basically saying that the examinations mean that teachers aren't teaching much rather training students to pass exams. Yet surely in the long run this is what we need for most of our lives, changing the whole system now won't be as effective as they seem to think it is. I really think that the system is fine, but that said i'm quite an intellectual who's sat a lot of exams even at my young age and was trained with exam techniques all the way through primary including revision tactics ect. A lot of my other friends however always are stressed during revision periods and through exams.

So what's your view? Should exams be scrapped?

God this is long lol,

yeah i heard about copies floating around the internet. i'm sure they were there long before a week before its release, some of my friends had copies a month beforehand in pdf. i heard there were fakes floating around facebook as well which gave me a few laughs

. Still conventional i went an dbought the book and have finished it already

html or hml? as far as i'm aware hml isn't a language hehe, html supports both .html and .htm as file extensions maybe thats where you got it from.

but anyways just pretending you meant html (if you didn't then doesn't matter): html is almost liek the core of web developemtn and websites as a whole. it's considered a "markup" language, so you can put in text basically and mark it up with cool tags ect to makeit look funky (the use of CSS extends this funkiness). but if you go to your web browser look at a page and click Source (View source/Go to source etc) what comes up is in fact HTML (unless the site is funky and is using XML).

i personally think HTML is the core of all other web languages because most server side languages print out HTML, even using XML and XSL to make a website involves HTML somewhere along the lines.

so that's basically HTML's role to show and display data ...

seeing as i dunno what i said mad eany sense here's what w3schools says:
