How come we never hear about Australia? All these other country's we hear on the news all the time. Australia is like really quiet. Which is kinda scary in a way and how come nobody wants to fuck with them? It's just wayyyyy to quiet over there to not question it.

Hey I was thinking or I've been thinking since I was like 12 years old that I could start up an unofficial business for PC repairs when I get my drivers license (which should be in a couple months or whenever I get the chance). I was thinking of how I would price repairs. I had a couple ideas and I ended up thinking of an hourly rate module. I think I'm gonna settle with 30$ an hour not to low not to high. Then I got to thinking what if for example I'm installing an operating system for a client which usually takes an hour to install how would that be fair to my client/customer to charge them an extra 30$ to sit on my ass for an hour?

I'm just wondering how that works out and what would be fair. You guys have any ideas?

Also all I have is a GED I don't have any certificates or a college degree (but i'm going to college right now for a Computer Science degree) is that against the law to work on peoples computers without certification? My mom just started up a pool business and she isn't certified so I'm assumeing that it isn't against the law. Another question how do I get up like small little computer repair business (just working from inside my home or going to peoples houses) legally? I don't think theres an illegal way of doing it as kids go around mowing peoples lawn and I always go around fixing computer for free so why can't I do it for money?


Thanks!

p.s. (yea you can tell I don't know anything about business lol)

Wow! I'm becoming quite popular! I made that thread by the way so you guys can thank me for posing the question on the official forums.

lucky youuuu i lost my CD key for LoD.

i hate starting with no gear though...makes me feel weak.

sorc>hammerdin any day.

Yeah thats why I went to the blizzard download store and linked my account there with my Diablo 2 key now I can download Diablo 2 and access my cd key anytime I want. Pretty awesome like steam

Well with the new patched just announced I'm gonna start playing again. Good lord lemme count real quick how long I've played this game for. About 7 years? Holy crap! Yeah cause I believe it was mid 2002? Yeah I was pretty young back then it was actually my first online game. Anyways I usually make a hammerdin, get perfect enigma, shako, CTA, HOTO, can't remember all the other godly items I had. Shit I think back in the day I got my hammerdin to like 15k-16k hammers? Something crazy like that. If theres one game I'm good at, it's diablo lol. Yeah I'm probably gonna make a hammerdin again. And then I might make a FOHER I also had one of those back in the day me and my friend one shot one kill pretty much haha. You don't even need much skill you can pretty much close your eyes with a FOHER and own anyone.

I also remember my first time seeing Uber Diablo it was a really long time ago it feels like but I remember we were all noobs. And we were getting owned but we wanted to kill him really really bad and fuckin a it took us hours and hours but it was a lot of fun. Anyways gonna remake me a hammerdin on the wait for Diablo 3 to come out.

So for years I've been dodging this series cause I know it's not my cup of tea. But I decided I wanted to give it to try. HOLY CRAP! There is like 100 different versions of this game which one is the latest one for PC?

So yeah this is no master piece work of art or anything of the sort I'm writing an Outline for my Thesis in my english class. I feel it's a bit stupid. But I don't care I just wan't it to be able to pass me. It's my first outline I've ever done in my life. Here it is:

I. Advantages of email
A. Cost
1. Paper Supply
2. Shipping
B. Time
1. Less time to compose & send then traditional letter mail
2. Time it takes to get to the recipient
II. The future of email
A. As email widely becomes more accesible the demand for paper goes down.
1. Less trees are cut down
2. Damaging of the ecosystem is less likely
B. Advertising will become more efficent for businesses

It's kinda long compared to the examples the instructor gave us. Tell me what yah think!

hopefully they sue blizzard, it will make them come out with diablo 2 faster so that they can make up for the loss

Good sir, Diablo 2 has been out for years. Have you been living under a rock?

Who the frack is worlds.com? And what the frack do they have to do with World of Warcraft or what the fuck ever MMO. What did they invent the internet? I seriously don't get this lawsuit wtf does it have to do with anything? I'm seriously confused...

I thought about making a list just for fun of all my new years resolutions. But I thought what is the fun in making a new years resolution if don't actually take it serious or even carry it out? So my list contains realistic resolutions and something I will take seriously. Anyways heres my list:

1)Learn Direct3D.
2)Make a 3D game.
3)Get my license. (jesus I should of got my license like forever ago)
4)Get a girlfriend(Lol what a sad life I haven't had a girlfriend since I was in like the fucking 9th grade, she was a total cock. And I don't like cocks.)
5)Do something good/useful/helpful whatever.
6)Road trip.(I'm really an indoors person, but I still love the outdoors and I love to just I dunno run free, of course I gotta get my license before I can do this. )

So yea I decided to not finish this project and go onto an air hockey game. It needs a lot of tweaking and fixes. But I thought I would put it up anyway here is the download:

A remake of Pong! So like yea I spent a year learning C++ and just recently I started learning the win32 api one of my exercises is to make a Pong game from scratch. Here it is:

http://i42.tinypic.com/rtl1xx.jpg

Okay okay maybe the pong or the paddles don't move yet lol. But I'm fixing to implement that as I already have the my Vector class implemented and I also have to detect when the ball hits a paddle and negate the velocity of the pong aka reverse the direction in which it came in.

And then of course I will add a counter to probably like 10 and whoever wins 10 rounds, well wins.

I'll update this post when I'm done. I was just a little excited that I'm starting to work with actual graphics now and not a boring console window. I'll probably upload the game and let you guys play it or whatever.

Ahah, that is such a cool story. I love that feeling of being so incredibly confused and lost. Did you tell people what happened? What did they say? How long were you in the bathroom for? And how old are you, anyway?

Nah I didn't tell anyone. Not really sure how long I was out for. I know I woke up because I had a bad dream while i was passed out. I'm actually really suprised I didn't hit anything. It's like I knew i was gonna pass out so I went ahead and laid on the floor or something. Because if I were to landed even an inch off I would of hit something the tub was only like an inch away and same for the toilet. It's actually quite amazing if I think about it I'm like very lucky I didn't hit anything.

What about tea? I don't drink an ounce of water all day I just drink tea...
