Comment Yeah but...no (Score 1) 165

You wouldn't get the sights and sounds of a campus, personal contact with professors, or beer-soaked frat parties, but you'd end up with the knowledge you need and the degree to prove it."

Personally speaking, it is this sort of thing that I think is as much a part of University as the education itself. Generally speaking, campus grounds always have a great atmosphere, your Professors are usually decent people, and pretty much at no other time will you be able to drink and party so hard with so little consequence in your life. Cutting that out would IMO, be a big loss for young students.

Comment Driver for PS1 (Score 1) 261

I always loved the secret Newcastle level that was in the PS1 version of Driver(Not sure if it is in the PC version). Screaming around a vaguely recognisable city in an old Jag was pretty cool. Needs an Action Replay code to work though, and my AR disk won't work in my PS3, so I'm SOL for now.

Comment Not a great experience (Score 1) 739

First time I used Linux 6 months ago at Uni. The PC's were running Kubuntu and it made me want to kill myself using it. Generally doing anything on it was a complete hassle and not worth the effort put in to it. Alot of the other people in my class felt the same (BSc Computer Science) and we've now only ever used that Linux lab once :V

Comment Re:I recommend... (Score 1) 466

I wholeheartedly agree. I used 7 on my 901 for a month, and the native multi touch support and combined with a task bar that actually works when moved to the left hand side makes it such a great fit for netbooks. Only thing is that 7 took up like 3.5GB of my 4GB SSD in my 901, so I gave in and put XP back on it, and that is only like a 3GB install for me. I really do hate the usability of XP compared to 7. It's just nowhere near 7 or even Vista in terms of usability.

I would suggest that you should have gotten on Russia's, but you were too busy rebuilding from the two World Wars you started. Need I remind you that the US and Russia saved your collective asses in those?

Yeah thanks for the help. You were right on time too! Oh wait, nah you just sat with your thumb up your arse until someone prodded you in actually giving a damn. I know how invaluable the US help was in defeating the Nazis, but acting like you managed to fend everyone off yourselves is retarded.

If you're British, I have even more to say to you. All of the current goings-on are largely your fault. You create all of these colonies then don't have the infrastructure to support them. So, you divvy them up into little micro-nations, with no regard for religious divisions.

So our Empire from like 200 years ago that is now largely broken up caused this mess?

If we hadn't gotten involved in the middle east 20 years ago, 9/11 would have happened in London.

uh what
