Re: The UK industry has little to no regard for university degree holders
Bitching~ I'll have a computer sciences degree in 18 month's, the courses 3D unit is a joke, so is the multimedia unit.

Re: Drugs
I have epilepsy, so I do 'do' anti-seizure drugs. If I didn't the amount of time I spend in front of the screen would definately have me flipping out left, right and centre.

Yeah I had bad references, low res pictures taken an bad angles(one angle) meant I had to fill in most the 'blanks' myself. Def something to keep in mind!

Re: New Computer, Any Ideas?
You can get this computer off newegg for under $700: AMD 64 X2 6000+ 3.0GHz Socket AM2 ASUS SLi-Ready Mobo 2GB Mushkin DDR2 800 Geforce 8800GTS 640MB My personal suggestion is, if its for gaming, shy away from Quad core right now, thats an extra $100+ for something that isn't going to be used. If you have the money, go for…
