nice network link - & yes, i did do an ever-so-slight double-take on the techtalkforums link! :D

yeah, i new about the diffs btwn the Intel Complex sets and the Motorolla Reduced sets but wasnt quite sure there was a Magic Compiller out there that would, well, work magic! ;)

why am i going 2 ask this question? i know the answer! so why am i still compelled to ask? curiousity? yes! fascination? yes! real of possiblities?.... i know assembler is a pc based language, although i dont know if its strickly CISC/486x based, or possibly RISC compatible as well - my question (drumroll plz) is cant i run it/demos on my Mac? no, of course not! had 2 ask, just incase the obvious isnt quite so in this particular instance... :-\

lol! interesting choice of words MAD_DOG, but i'll definitely offer up an Amen! to that as well! ;D

lol! this wud be the 1st time i kept using an OS until it was retired! will keep runnin 98 on 1 of my sys's (its actually been very stable 4 me); the other 1 i'm gonna turn in2 a Linux box, and, if funds become avail i'm gonna build a stout sys to load Win2kPro on2... the king is dead, the king is dead, long live the king...

i sure miss those Shack Bugers!!! :D

lol, i had an inkling u might be a Left Coaster ( ;) ) w/those prices! I went to Santa Monica CC & Chico CC back in the mid-tolate 80's so i knew about their pricing! Another really nice thing is that you can apply your any credits taken to any & all applicable majors & minors - well, u cud when i went!. :D

ok, but if u dont mind me asking, which CC? ???

$200 4 CCNA prep class?!!! where r u going cuz i need 2 signup!!! :o

how's that elephant & 3 blind men joke go? something about a tree trunk, a wall & a snake? guess we all have different perspectives! ;)

well, i guess mis-recongition is better than none - well, i think!!! ;) yeah, i dont really care for it myself... consiidering there known for that color i guess they dont have much of a choice on the color scheme, but well, it seems, well, not quite amatuerish, but not quite professional either. must say i do like a pub that posts errata.

ok, i know this was posted somewhere, but i cant find it so i'm starting a new thread with it here (hope i dont beg b-slapped 4 it, or well, @least not TOOOO hard! ;) )

i'm figuring its a fairly safe bet that we all frequent other tech discussion groups/forums, which we can adv the site on. i'm NOT saying just posting 4 postings sake, but when a legit request is made for additional resource i wouldnt c anything wrong w/referencing TTFs. i would NOT endorse spaming or planting (a "pre-quel" post requesting info, that is 2 say), cuz that would create a rep that wud not be easily shaken. FFT.

i've been real busy lately... hey, i've told @least 4 people abt TTFs, so that puts me ahead of ur curve!!! ;)

alls fine - looks a little tight on my iBook, but my pc's r just fine w/it :)

ok, just shot me now! :-X

LOL! well, i guess my "SCOOP!!!" wasnt so much of a scoop after all!!! i was, after all, referring to Microcenter..... :P

if any1 doesnt mind traveling to Garden City, LI, NY i know of a bookstore that has a discount shelf for books that only slightlyt out of date - i bought iBook, Web Dev for Lotus Notes R5, Web Dev for Oracle 8i, Dreamweaver 4 & Dreamweaver 4 w/Fireworks 4 Studio books 4 $27 2day - if any1 wants the loc i'll post it, or im it.

***AWESOME*** DIF!!!! 8) didnt get any error msgs on loading Dreamweaver MX @all & able to load mult progs!!! wish the max was 512MB (or MORE!!! ;) ) but maxing it @ 320 total (64MB built in) should do the trick 4 now!! ;D

... 4 my iBook!!!! unlike pc's if u dont have quite enough RAM on the mac it doesnt simply bog down the sys a bit - it refuses 2 load the additional prog!!! >:( according to the last update on FedEx update on my order its somewhere in WY on its way to its new home!!!! J4J!!! ;D

illicited = elicited ... sometimes being stoic is enjoyable! ;)

feeding off of, and simultaneously perpetuating, the mafia stereotype illicited my response to ur "Pauly" post, which is 1) why i tried to steer the conv away from that angle and 2) why i dissuade the use of the "Paulie" moniker. ur "misuse" ?'ing post is what prompted me to post my "decidedly abbreviated dissertation" on mafia history.

there is NOTHING romantic, glamorous or, Dear Lord, honorable about the mafia. i dont really think i need 2 spell out the criminal activities that hey have no problems partaking in, do? if ur basing ur interpretation of the mafia lifestyle on the illusions of the print & entertainment industries, amongst others, then i'd be surprised that i'd need to tell u u dont have a realistic picture @all. i found the linkk below in only a few minutes of searching - the third paragraph, not including the bulleted list, is the most telling.
http://www.alleged-mafia-site.com/history.htm

mafia is a blight on a particular culture as well as society in general.
Paul.

eh? "Pauly" ? >:( "Paulie" ? >:(
Paul? ;)

ok Dan, thanx 4 the FFT, much appreciated! btw, my name's Paul... 8)

well thats potentially literally the $64,000.00 ? isnt it?!!! i'm in a Catch22 position - i'm looking for deep & wide knowledge base -and neither r quick to achieve. i'm really focusing in on the web angle. i'm leaning towards adding Linux /Java /Oracle (i've got a basic cert in Lotus Notes Apps Dev to compliment Oracle, something else (P/CLP) that i'm going to put more emphasis on as well) to my Dreamweaver /Flash /Photoshop self-studies... :-\

ok, lets chalk it up 2 simple misunderstanding ;) the initial? i posed above, which was answered, was whether or not 1 needd 2 become proficient in Java b4 tackling Java3D (the ans being: yes). the 2nd ? i posed was what shud 1 pickup 1st, Java or C++ (the ans being... ?). :)

oh, u 2 r a barrel of lol's rn't u's!!! :P well, thanx 4 answrin my orig quest NOT!!! >:( ;)

ok, this cud go on either 1 of 2 dif boards, but... since C++ & Java are both OOP, does it make any diff as 2 which 1 1 picks up 1st?

thanks inscissor, makes sense but i really wasnt sure @all. seems as much as i keep trying to put learning certain other teks infront of Java, it keeps giving me reasons to put it much closer to the top of my "things to learn" list.

does 1 need to learn Java b4 pickup up Java 3D, or is a) Java 3D more of an IDE, or
b) is it akin to Java's relationship w/Javascript - basically none?

Makes sense to me - thanks.

Can we edit calendar information :?:

LOL! you're SO right! pardon me, may faux paux!!! ;)

for a MS box that would be impressive, but... i used to work for IBM and we had certain mission critical servers for client installations that were up for litterally years - thats right, plural. kid u not. typicall running AIX plus proprietary s/w.

ok, Java/3D Java just moved up my list of teks to pickup by about 5 places!!! i'll post a ? on the approp brd in a few... thanx 4 the links!!!! :D

1st, a correction: replace "book" with "play".

a hint? hmmmm... well, ur likely to use at least one or two of the same search engines that i do... ok...

Julie Andrews was to have played the leading lady character in the 196x remake, but it was eventually handed to Audrey Hepburn. ironically a "Julie" did wind up playing the same part nearly two decades later. you'd have to be a regular Walter Walter Cronkite to figure this one out tho... ;)

nope, as the saying goes, i got the ryhme wrong (ok, for 10 bonus points what book/movie/movie remake is that from?) ;)

just like nsync but with a scissor instead of sink ;)

WOW! how timely is this!!! i just found out today i have an op to grasp yet another rung by going from casual to expert user in Flash - in 3 months or less! i'm confident i can do it, but if u thought i was scarce b4... :o

thank u very much inscissor 4 http://www.swift3d.com/, maybe exactly what i was looking 4 ; i'll post a follow-up in a month or so.

Flash is *MAD KEWL* just some truly awesome stuff & extremely versatile - could realy blow away most presentations done in MS PowerPoint or Lotus Freelance if 1 doesnt need the structure/templates these progs offer (in otherwords it great if u know just what u want to say, how u want to say it and when u went to say it, otherwise those progs would still be either a better choice, or 4 me, i'd story board my presentation in either of those and then go mad w/Flash - i REALLY like the animation thing... ) btw, i dont even know how to use Flash, ive just been somewhat exposed to it @ work, and, obviously, on the www. 8)

&.... LOL & thanks 4 the 411 on incissor!!! :D

looking 4 something that generates 3D graphics like Bryce 3D or Simply 3D, but (ideally) is targetd towards Macromedia (Dreamweaver/Flash/Freelance) users. any recommendations? i'm actually considering AutoCad 14 but thats a bit pricey 4 my budget 2 say the least - ok, so i'm a virgin tekkie: i dont have any cracks/warez; i'm an aspiring author so i kinda get the copyright thing...

LOL! That's right, sucka! ;)

LOL, u r such a SWEETIE - and a very good Administrator i might add!!! (ok, is that enuff kissin up - do i get my Franklin now?!!!) sorry for the mixup, it is kinda late & by the time i get here i'm pooped, but no excuses 4 the typos (i make a living by paying attention 2 the details), so please to flog me - well, not TOOO hard anyway!!! ;D

addendum: i'm going to go ahead & post the perl tut url on the perl board, c'n how thats prob the most approp place 4 it... (well, actually since i'm posting this here, i might as well include the link rather than makin some1 interested in it go 2 diff places 4 the 1 bit of info: http://wdvl.com/Authoring/Languages/Perl/PerlfortheWeb/toc.html )

LOL!!! now i am TRULY honored!!!! :-* yes, this is perfect - jeepers u dont waste anytime do u?!!! ;D
ok, so heres the first link 4 the board:

http://wdvl.internet.com - its a pretty broadbased info site

http://wdvl.internet.com/Authoring/Tutorials/ - which is
possibly a page of particular page of interest 4 those interested in web oriented tutorials, covering items such as ASP & Cascading Style Sheets, thru Perl & PHP to VRML & XML - hope its as fun & informative 4 y'all as it 4 me! :D

kinda what i was doing (suggestin a new links board) in a round-about way! ;) ...and the honor is mine! ;D

i've got a link that i was going to post under the Perl board since its the homepage on 1 of my pc's 4 IE (www.techtalkforums.com is my homepage on my iBook IE :-* ), but its actually just a page from a broader tech url - was wondering if i should just post it under the coffee house board or if theres a more approp board 4 it? ???
