unless things have changed since i was doing this this wont work for players with spaces in their name still, which would thus require a plugin.

I would love to see a feature which would allow for binding keys to specating a player no matter what their name is. Spaces fuck this up and it sucks.

When I was doing the streaming for eXtv this was the only way I could get good camera shots consistently without clicking through all 12 players in rapid succession but since there was no plugin I wasnt able to do it very often.

havent you heard, slin has deduced that the problem is the quickfix in front of 3000 players who presumably accept everything he is saying about it. So ban quickfix.

pirate the one that works the best?

you are right now that i think about it i remember my cs friends taking linear algebra but they didnt have to take calc3

Ill be a senior in aerospace engineering this fall and if a good teacher is a priority to you, well then maybe consider a different profession aside from engineering. Most engineering professors i have had are great at their focus or what they are doing research on yet are at most mediocre teachers. So while you might have a professor that is doing research on the deformations and performance of new wind turbine design he wont necessarily be a good introduction to engineering structures teacher. Also a lot of the times at my university professors arent teaching the same classes each year so its not like they have an established curriculum that they are just going through the paces like you had in High School.

i agree with avoiding IT. any of those other degrees are much better imo. Im not sure about CE as far as how much math is required but i know that where i go the CS majors only need calc 1 and 2 which is essentially nothing. i would say CS is a good choice if you dont like or arent good at math. If you do, then any engineering discipline is open to you, pick one that fits your fancy.

What I do is use my desktop for all my heavy computing, CAD and programming. If I need to do something on the go I can do all my programming stuff on my cheap laptop as long as its not super intensive, and if it is I can remote desktop onto my desktop pc from my laptop and just run stuff remotely from my "laptop" on the desktop. Some programs just wont run on my laptop namely SolidWorks which for some reason isnt compatible with Windows 8 32 bit which i then just remote desktop to my desktop pc. Coupled with a file service like dropbox for school files and stuff this works pretty seemlessly though. One of the main things I use my laptop for is all my ebooks which i admittedly torrent and save some money there. Otherwise I use it sparingly for small tasks and taking notes in class. Otherwise you are looking at $400 a semester for books sometimes. Word and other Microsoft Office programs generally work well on low end laptops anyways, so you dont really have many issues. Like i said i have an active digitizer which makes this possible to take engineering notes in a digital format that isnt overly complicated. Although not necessarily something you will have to do for your schooling I love using LaTeX to compile my written documents. It is great for things like technical lab reports and stuff and the files that you edit and end up with are simply plain text and pdf which is great for viewing on just about any platform.

At least at my Engineering School there are plenty of computers around campus and in the labs we work in that you could probably get by entirely without a laptop but it is handy to have in some occasions. As a computer science major i could imagine you taking some exams in class with a laptop (something i have only done once) and maybe doing interactive things in class with a laptop. Certainly you wouldnt need anything too powerful to do this.

ive used a desktop on a "small college desk" for 2 years. Its not bad. A high powered gaming laptop will be high powered enough to run everything you want to be sure but i still think it is the wrong way to go

I'm a senior in Aerospace Engineering. I started my years at university with a Toshiba Laptop that I gamed on and used for classes. I do a decent amount of programming and I began to regret my decision to use a laptop for all my needs pretty much when I started doing real work. Playing games was just about the only thing the laptop adequately fulfilled my expectations. I had several problems with my laptop that made it less than ideal.

First, a laptop capable of playing games on is inevitably horrible at portability and battery life. They are too much of a hassle to lug around due to their size and you have to carry the cord with you everywhere because of battery life and ultimately when you do have to use them in a portable situation it isnt very good. Too hot, battery doesnt last long enough, too big.

Halfway through my sophomore year I built a desktop and started looking for a more portable laptop. I wanted excellent battery life and portability. Something that would be great for keeping with me at all times without too much hassle. It needed to run full windows so I could have at least basic functionality in regards to I ended up getting a windows 8 pc with a pen digitizer built into the screen so i could take digital notes. It is an atom pc so it isnt the most powerful but coupled with remote pc for my desktop I can do pretty much anything I want on it.

tldr: Desktop + something very portable.

considering how every hud made and released these days is basically a copy or compilation of broeselhud/pvhud and the like this is probably just as original and unique as the rest of them.

On the flip side, why pay for a lan spot if you havent earned it through playing for it? While i dont really think donation drives are a very sustainable way to get teams to LAN and the lack of funds aside from community donations will probably contribute to this game dying or being continuously irrelevant; as it stands now, with no sponsors and no way for teams to earn money by other means, donation drives are the only real option.

aside from the problems with gamesurge where i am never authd and cant captain 40 games is pretty reasonable. The real problem is that people dont want to captain, not the limit.

what are the restrictions for captaining?

honestly i doubt many people will participate in a new pug channel if that is how you decide to run it.
