    Status of Java

    I've been told by one of my CS professors that while there are probably more people out there writing C++ right now, all the new jobs are in Java or .NET (mostly C#). And looking at job postings, that seems to be true. And trust me, if you can do Java, you can do C#. They're very similar. Java's...

    Do I have to pay for the Mag subscriptions after a year?

    Sometimes another free offer will come up, and if you sign up for it they'll extend your subscription. Sometimes you can even sign up for the same offer more than once. I've had the same subscription to CGW for 3 years and haven't payed anything.

    question of difficulty of programming a particular program like xfire

    I think the creating of the actual chat client itself wouldn't be too bad. It might only take you a few months if you were only going to have support for a handful of games, and minimal features. However, the client is only half the equation. You're going to have to write some sort of server...

    Ventrilo Sound through usb headset, all other pc sounds through speakers?

    I believe in Windows Vista you'll be able to set the output source/volume for each application you're running. That's reason enough to upgrade right there.

    Using sub as speaker stand bad?

    The only think I would be concerned about is that if the subwoofer is vibrating enough that little statue might fall onto the ground and break.

    Flac - Worth it

    If I could afford the hard drive space, all my music would be in .flac. Unfortunately, I can't.

    Which IEMs to purchase?

    I've never heard the e2cs, but I do own the ER-6i's and can tell you that they do not lack any bass. Anybody who claims they lack bass is not wearing them properly. However, if you're expecting bass that overpowers everything else and makes your head vibrate like you might get from a $20 pair of...

    Good earbud headphones?

    I've got the Etymotic ER-6i's and I love them. Some people don't like them though so I'd read some reviews and see if you think you might like them, but I personally highly recommend them. I found them for $90.

    Upgrade your sound experience, cheap.

    That sounds painful. And unsafe.

    Best program to watch a DVD with?

    PowerDVD's good. WinDVD's good. If you want free, VLC works but it's not as good as the other ones.

    Just a quick question...why own multiple pairs?

    I have a headphone fetish.

    java mid-term tomorrow! weee!!

    It looks good to me, except when declaring x in the for loop you accidentally have a subtract instead of equals. I wish the CS classes I'm in now were still this easy.

    What software do you use for mp3s?

    I used foobar for a while, and I really liked it. I'm currently using iTunes though. It works easiest with my iPod and my Airport Express. Also, I can listen to everyone in my dorm's shared music. And the built in podcast management is cool. But if not for the Airport Express, I'd probably be...

    Good place to buy DVD-Audio?

    Check out Porcupine Tree's "In Absentia", which is in DVD-Audio. Also, there's the obligatory "Dark Side of the Moon".
