    Take Internship or Graduate Early?

    I was in the exact same position this past spring. I ended up taking the intenrship and I'm extremely glad I did. I might be graduating a semester later, but who cares. Having work experience is a big confidence booster. I also have a tentative offer from the company I interned with...

    Infinite loop from input

    I'm not doubting you, but I compiled it with g++ and VS2005. Neither had that issue. Do you mean it makes you hit return to get past the getline after you hit 3?

    Infinite loop from input

    I don't get that at all.. #include <iostream> #include <string> using namespace std; int main() { int num; string s; do { cout << "enter num "; cin >> num; cin.ignore(10,'\n'); cout << "enter s "; getline(cin, s); } while (num...

    Xbox 360 BULLCRAP! You'd better read this - you'll want to know this info!

    Are you asking or telling? Did you do a recovery of your gamertag on the box? I've never really had this issue, then again I'm never offline.

    Xbox 360 BULLCRAP! You'd better read this - you'll want to know this info!

    This is misinformation. I've been able to download full arcade games that I bought onto my brother's 360. Using only my profile on a memory card. Once he logged in to Live, they went back to trial versions.

    Zune!!

    Since none of the features have been officially confirmed, it's a little early to say Zune isn't compelling. I will be VERY interested if it does the following. 1.) Offers a subscription based service. 2.) Lets me get songs via wifi / renews DRM licensing via wifi

    Games you wish people still played...

    Totally agree.. That's about the only game I would like to see again. Miniguns owned. :) The rest of these games are best left in the past. I've done a few game revisits.. and they're never as good as you remember.

    [H]ot Cyberpower 1200VA 720watt AVR UPS, $99 at local Fry's

    I own all Cyberpower UPS's. I've had a few warranty experiences so far, and each time they've been fantastic. At one point the UPS was out of warranty and they sent me new batteries free of charge! I had the new batteries in 1-2 days. Not sure if that's typical. Those Tigerdirect...

    Should I buy BF2?

    EA is the devil. BF2 has consistently become worse with each patch. Don't get me started on the "booster packs".

    Just switched to CRT, why do I feel like throwing up?

    You need to set the refresh higher than 60Hz. 85Hz is usually my minimum. As for the color, try playing with the contrast and brightness.

    If Abit goes under...

    Good riddance. BP6 - disaster, took me forever to get it running stable. Had to replace some capacitors and disable the on board IDE controller. IC7G-MAX - another disaster.. all 3 of them. First would randomly lock, but I ignored it. Eventually it just wouldn't POST. The replacement...
