Very old computer working? - Page 24

Ahhh, The good old days... then you have to grow up and become responsible..

Or a physics teacher.

I'm remember when I was sitting in Geometry sleeping my way thru class as was the custom of the day. Halkway thru the class I heard a pop... that brought me out of lala land too quickly...
Anyways after the pop something told me to look down at my calculator. There was a hissing sound coming from it. I opened the back of the TI 82 and I was greeted with the sight of the inards of the battery pouring out over the calculator. Needless to say the need for me to get rid of the battery and get some new ones fromthe school store got me out of the rest of class.

Yep, all the time. Teach' believed in the answer, not how you got there.

Our HS had a class for each topic. Finding the answer was always more important then the actual answer. Sometimes I would "cheat" to learn and work from the answer backwards.


Plus you had to show your work.

interesting approach, my high school had an agreement with a local community college that gave us credit for certain classes taught in our high school. Each class was $10 for "book rental", I took all that I could and entered college about halfway through my sophmore year credit wise.

Hah, mine was free, books included. You just had to qualify and even then you were picked by lottery.
Took Java, Thermodynamics, PHP, basic Engineering Principles, Physics and the AC/DC Circuit classes in the three years I was there

I ended up specializing in multi-tiered enterprise blah blah (writing backend code for websites mostly) so I didn't do much data comm stuff (other classmates did similar projects).

I want that class . The closest I'll get is probably the Cisco networking class that I'll take in my sophmore year (I'm a freshman right nwo). I wonder when this thread will hit 50 pages??

given the current growth rate ov over three pages per day I guess we will hit fifty tomorrow

shouldn't this be sticky by now? not that it needs it, since it always near the top.

someone said earlier in response to my post about winxp:

Thanks for the advice, although since I have a full version of winxp (and I am migrating to linux anyways) the point is now moot ;D

Also, I can't understand why anyone would dislike calculus or differential equations. Those are some of my favorite classes I guess I am a bit biased though because I have always loved math and because I actually put it to use in my Computer Engineering classes.

Also, I think it would be really neat to learn to hack wireless networks. Not that I am aspiring to be a black hat, but I think if I knew a bit more about how the deed is done, I could more easily armor myself against attack

I just couldn't get diff Eq which is why I hate it so much. I have a friend who is now a math teacher who loves calc/diff Eq/statistics but she also scored way higher than me on the geek test.

There will be no banning. So you're banned
I press the ignore button in your general direction.

Like this???

No... Like this.

I don't think this forum allows the use of quotes.

A lot of cables, that's for sure.

Yeah, the good old days when I still used net send...

Haven't posted here since page 15 or something. Been to damn busy at work. Man this thing got long. Only about 160 more posts till this thread is longer than the "we need you team 40051" thread.

I remember using netsend in the video game design class. It would piss off the teacher until she used the Net Op function.

So let me get it straight, did you just write an infinite loop where it keeps flooding the directory, or did you do what we did and actually write a program where when someone pressed the OK button on the net message it sends another message?
They're both kinda infinite if you think about it.

We had the message say something about to back up data press OK. Many heads were banged against desks in the implementation of the program.
We just had to make sure not to send ourselves the program and use a altered message on our own workstations.

Peace.... what long weekend?

Local public holiday on Monday. Not sure what for but who cares. Apparently it's men's day today but no holiday like women's day

Quit pimpin and finish school then. I pity the pimp without a education.

So you're more of a networking guy than a hardware guy?

It's still better than being stuck in English compostion. Man this sucks a big one.

There ain't no point, and with you posting you're helping keep the thread alive. So that kinda defeats the purpose of you saying that doesn't it?
This is mainly just a place to air out your thoughts, ask any miscellaneous questions, say your peace and stuff.
Don't like it? Leave. Cool with the idea? Post something.
