Members el_duderino676 Posted March 19, 2008 Members Share Posted March 19, 2008 In other news, I got a new laptop last week because my previous one qualified for replacement under the "no lemon" policy on my service plan at Best Buy. I was a little unnerved because any choice I had as a replacement had Vista installed, but after using it for a few days, I've decided that Vista isn't so bad once you get used to its quirkiness. Other than that, I came out ahead, since technology has come down in price over the past two years; I got a computer that is more robust only for the cost of renewing my service plan. And so far, everything that I've installed has worked fine, although I haven't gotten in depth with Audition or Photoshop yet. /mindless babble Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any reason I should not do so. I have always wanted to learn a bit of electronics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There have been a few courses that I've taken that would have been better served with more time, but that's just the way it goes here.

One of the aspects I really don't like is the notion of a far shorter winter break around Christmas. "Hi Mom, Hi Dad, , see you in June!" Hey Piotrex, given that your location is Warsaw, mind if I ask you something? To wit - are you Polish, or are you a foreign national in Poland? Because if you come from a non-English speaking country, I just have to say ... your English is freakin' incredible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members guitargod0dmw Posted March 20, 2008 Members Share Posted March 20, 2008 Just so everybody knows...the sushi ruled! The place is a little weird though. They barely speak English, so it's always a chore to go there. We called ahead and said: "We'd like 2 completely separate orders (so we can pay for our own)...and the lady said "Ok. No problem" We get there and she goes: "Two completely separate orders? $16.00. Each order is $8. So after all of that, they still didn't separate it! It's actually more funny than anything...

Members monark Posted March 20, 2008 Members Share Posted March 20, 2008 That's why I don't call in orders at my local Chinese place. If we eat Chinese, we go in. If we can't go in, we don't eat Chinese... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because if you come from a non-English speaking country, I just have to say ... your English is freakin' incredible. No, I learned English from TV while floating in a wooden shed just off the coast of Izrael. The only channel I was getting was NBC, so... I think my story isn't holding together, so I'll bail I'm a Polish national But I won't hide the fact that I moved to the US when I was 7 for 5 years. Reading, PA 19-608 (or sth). 'Twas ten yeas ago that I came back. I am a bilingual product I'm currently studying an OpSciTech(Optics in Science and Technology) course in English at my Warsaw University of Technology, Mechatronics Dept. It's my fourth year. Three semesters to go My Master Engineer Diploma will be trying to use a Haptic device for virtual reality sculpting. I'm currently learning COM implementation and OpenGL in C++ for that, as it will mainly consist of programming, and setting up a virtual scene. Fun stuff My Promoter pioneered 3D scanning in Poland. That's hella fun too And I play bass Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
