tis not funny! its an **** using and XP video driver, monitors waving quite badly.... think ill delete it

 

I use assembler when I can to speed up my Delphi code. Works a treat

Si, programming isn't stressful, it is the managers and the users that make it stressful with feature creep and difficulty deciding what the hell they want

 

To be honest my main flaw with programing is i cant do the maths! never did A level so the jump is massive once ive done maths programming will get easy!

at college i loved it! my C project was 22k charaters and 13pages! worked a treat now there 20programs that take weeks

 

Apparently there is a few Quid in IT Security...apparently...

As for core switchs.....Extreme Networks with 10Gb cards and Juniper Routers

Or you can just do Cisco 65xx, not as pretty to look at though
