Nobody has ever asked me if I'm certified, have a license or what kind of college courses I've taken. They just want their shit fixed.

Well, if you are a plumber and somehow screw up, you know that they are going to be checking your qualifications. For plumbing, you have to know all of the building codes and what not. Plus, I don't think it takes that much tiem to get certified, it would most likely be worth it.

I mean, if you do a great job every time, it probably wouldn't matter. but in that rare case that something bad happens, you would be screwed.

100FPS? Maybe try VSync?

I always use Vsync. I tried turning it off to see if that was the problem. No good.

if u cant stick a little pipe into a big pipe then stay the fuck away from trades

but then if they ask for your license, you're fucked.

Also, this is the major I'm looking at. It's definitely not final yet.

Well, it must be CoD 4. I don't get the stutters in BC2 multiplayer (a MUCH more demanding game) I have tried screwing with the settings with no result. I am getting 100 FPS but it still stutters every damn minute.

I love how everyone always ignores Dann being a dick EVERY time I post. [sarcasm]This site is such a friendly place.[/sarcasm]

@Dann, It must feel good to try to constantly bash a kid, I guess it is a way for you to feel good about yourself? I though a person of such "superior intelligence" as yourself would know better.  ;)

Mr.Dumbbunny is having a hard time figure this out.

You are being so immature.

Quick question. If you wanted to become a tradesmen in America, i.e. a plumber or electrician, how do you go about doing that?

There are numerous ways to do it. I don't really know the specifics for those careers, but there are multiple way to into almost every career.

One thing i asked myself is when figuring out what i wanted to do in my life was... "If money was as common as air, what would I like to be doing." IMO, i would rather do something I love to do and make some money, than do something I hate for a outstanding paycheck. I started wanting to set up computer networks for companies, and I realized that doing design and programming is what made me happy, it was a daily test of how smart I was, problem solving and just having fun. With this, I found a community of people that where fun, at my office, we play darts, drink beer and whiskey we go outside and play soccer in the middle of the day. It makes a difference if you want to go to work, or if you dread work. Do something for you, not anyone else, not the paycheck, not the parents, but for you.

Very good advice. I still have quite awhile to think about it, but I am heavily leaning towards my current choice.

Good thing you do not need to be an intellectual or intelligent to be just a computer engineer...

Thanks for the helpful advice Dann, you always know the right things to say.

I couldn't really see myself doing any other career either. I am always interested in learning new things, especially in the way of computers. I have learned a few things in my spare time  (basic photoshop, extremely basic pokemon scripting, extremely basic knowledge of computer hardware) but I am either too lazy or just do not have the time to learn other things that require a lot of time and a lot of effort to do. I like the sound of being a mystery man though.  8)

Ideally, wouldn't it be the same thing?

Computers is a huge field with a lot of different career opportunities. I knew I wanted to do one of them, I just didn't know which one.

Spanky, I know what I like, I just don't know what to do for a career.I knew I wanted to have a career in computer, I just didn't know exactly what.

I also want to know how you could possibly associate a career choice with someone's maturity.

... so you're going to college to learn something that you don't want as a career?

Not necessarily. I am interested in computer engineering. What I meant by my statement was that I really had no set career in mind when I was "supposed to".  So basically I find computer engineering interesting, I just never really thought about it, or any other career for that matter, until recently.

It really sucks not really knowing what you want to do, but I will never know if I like it or not until I try it.

You don't seem interested in computer engineering. I've not seen any interest or traits on your part.

I'm not really interested in anything on a career level. I do love working with computers so I figured why not?

Hi, when is the best time to join?
Alex 1D [AAO25]
The problem with pball legitimately is Windows vs Linux. Pball uses directX for the physics, which is owned by Microsoft and doesn't run on Linux. I say this as a Linux stan that hasn't used Windows regularly in years. :P

There is nothing stopping you from playing a few sets like today, and opening your server like you just did. I think everyone had fun, except that the intensity taught us a lesson :( lol
Mr_Gunman-GB 1D [ASSIST]
Love PBall, we should play that more, its great!

Gunny, it had been a long time since we played PBall, it was really fun :)

Admin a_open ? :)))))))))
-=LGC=-BADBOY 1D [ASSIST]
Basically, the problem is not Windows or Linux as you say; the problem only comes from F12 when the admins choose the PBall card that is bugging.
-=LGC=-BADBOY 1D [ASSIST]
Exactly, my friend, it's with Linux that it crashes. I tested with my 12 Linux servers by pressing F12 for the PBall map and all my servers crash. That's why Nick built me a PBall server to avoid having to go through F12.
_ERASER 1D [ASSIST]
so any solution for me :D?
_ERASER 1D [ASSIST]
nice to read pro :D
falken64 1D [ASSIST]
I am On Linux and It does not crash when shooting the crates :). But the reason Its not crashing I think its because how I run the game through a compatability mode for windows programs. So technically Its "running through windows" :) As you say, It probably is going to crash on the Native Linux Version of the Game
-=LGC=-BADBOY 1D [ASSIST]
falken64, it's the opposite, it doesn't crash with Windows. I am the owner of the PBall server. It only crashes when we go through F12, it always crashes when we shoot the crates. :)
falken64 1D [ASSIST]
It might be a windows system that wouldnẗ crash it. I am currently on Linux but to run this game I am using Steam and Adding the game as a Non-Steam Game and switching from the default compatibility setting to Proton 9.0-x and it works flawlessly. It doesn't crash when playing on the Pball map because technically I Would be playing this on Windows even tho Im on Linux. Maybe if it would crash when playing this on the Native Linux version that doesn't work on newer Linux distro's? Or does this only relate to the servers crashing?
Leopardi. 1D [ASSIST]
where did everyone go
Mr_Gunman-GB 1D [AAO25]
Thanks for the correction, Badboy. I always get that mixed up. lol
-=LGC=-BADBOY 1D [ASSIST]
Gunny PBall does not work on Linux only on windows, Nick created my PBall server with windows a long time ago.
_ERASER 1D [ASSIST]
you use assist server menager ?
-=LGC=-BADBOY 1D [ASSIST]
You cannot choose the PBall map with F12 as it always crashes the server due to a bug, but on my PBall server you don’t have to go through F12, if you’re interested lol.
_ERASER 1D [ASSIST]
any bad map on assist ?
_ERASER 1D [ASSIST]
yea server crushed din t know that trick :)
_ERASER 1D [ASSIST]
come and try withe me my mate :D
Mr_Gunman-GB 1D [AAO25]
PBall only works on a Linux (I think) server. If it isn’t a Linux (I think) server, it will crash as soon as someone shoots one of the movable boxes or barrels. This is why I don’t switch to PBall when I do a rotation, even though I love PBall. Please correct me if it’s a Linux or Windows server that’s needed for PBall, I always get them mixed up. lol.
