Community college dude. Your 'single semester' is my 'Hey, you got a degree!' XD

But nawt really. First semester is IT basics and a 'survey of micro apps', second is Visual basic, security principles and database design, third is advanced Visual Basic, and C (as well as Web development concepts), and the fourth is Java and systems analysis. So at the end (armed with the knowledge you just gived meh) I think I'ma have to dig a bit deeper to get some 'useful' skills as far as game development. But it's a start. Mayhaps, in tandem with a book like you suggested, I can dance.

Also, do you know how we're going to find out how many layers of material it'll take to make something bullet resistant? I've been searching (not extensively, mind you) but canna find a list or some such.

To threadjack, armor's given classification based on resistance LvlI-IIIA is soft armor, and LvlIII-IV is a single plate of material.


What's your workout playlist look like?

Sounds like a pretty good program. Not as rigorous as, say, a Computer Science degree, but still good. Do you get an Associate's or a certificate or anything for getting through those?

I was thinking of using the same design philosophy behind body armor, but with a lighter design and more layers. Metal and Kevlar combined with Ceramics.

I was thinking the higher end, of course.

Depends on the workout. Weights and stretching is a lot of electronica, Dubstep, and some heavier metal.

Cardio gets fast rock, electronica, and speed/power metal.

Walking (Which is barely working out. ) gets a combo of all of them.

Associates. But it's 'sposedly a career technical course, which has a certain degree of chance to lead me into a job when I graduate. No complaints. I can always learninate more.

And yeah, the layers design. I found the rating system Oro mentioned, but (aside from ceramic) I cannot find info on how many layers of a certain material (say, Kevlar or titanium) is required for each level. I know a standard bullet proof vest has more than one layer of Kevlar and a steel plate in it, but it's still vulnerable to a certain caliber/type of bullet. Maybe I'm just missing something here. XD

Any thoughts for some kind of grapple system?

Do you mean like a grappling hook kind of thing, or grappling (As in wrestling)?

Grapple hook thing. 'Wrastlin robots though...I can see an industry.

Since it came up in discussion earlier, is there an easy way to permanently brick a hard drive (save of burninating it or obliterating it) to keep data from ever being pulled off of it?

My dad (Cappan Paranoid. >_> I know where I get it from) gave some old comprooters to a recycling thing, and drilled the HDD's before he sent them in. I said a really determined person (thinking like government investigation type) could still pull something off of it.

But now I am unsure.

Well...there's a few ways that can make it almost impossible to retrieve any meaningful data. For example, the DoD has a few data removal algorithms that they've publicly (IIRC) released. These usually consist of zeroing every sector on the hard drive, reformatting, repeating this process, and so on. The end result is that the drive is so different from it's previous state that it's next to impossible to tell what is genuine and what is not.

Mmm...I think CCleaner has one built into it, akshually.

Sprue?

Say what?

Sprue: A sprue is the passage through which liquid material is introduced into a mold during the casting process. >.>

Why do my pants never dry as quickly as I want them to?

I see...

Because if they did, we could indiscriminately dirty them and suffer no repercussions.

Dude. That's so wise. XD

Whacking someone with a six-foot stick is more effective than getting locked in verbal combat?

Depends on the person...

I have yet to meet the person that it'd be easier to argue with than whack with a stick. >_>

Riding a horse?

Hulk.

Meh. Not a fan, really.
