Oh yeah, start with assembly language too. :)

I completed a Computer Science degree years ago. While there was valuable course content, most of what I used in industry was self-taught. I'd suggest to the OP to check out the syllabus/units of degrees and seek out online content to cover those topics, along with introductory...

I do video editing. Really depends what software he is using and the video files (e.g. codecs, resolution, colour space). 2k will get a decent computer but will "under spec'd" for serious video editing. You can easily spend over 2k just on a CPU and graphics card. The parts he'd need: Case...

Anyone used a VPN with low offshore latency? I know that latency is something you have to accept but find IPvanish painfully slow at times.

Anyone experienced in chroma key compositing? I have been playing around with Davinci Resolve and not entirely satisfied with results (doesn't deal with frizzy hair that well), and not keen on subscription service to Adobe CC - but may try it out to see what it's like; PowerDirector is not...

I was using a free version of AVG from Grisoft, but as I am exclusively using linux (debian) at the moment it's not an issue for me. :) McAfee is the industry leader as far as quality goes, but I've only used it in a business environment, so it might be a bit pricy for a home user. Oh, and...

Worth repeating. I've heard iinet are good and haven't heard anything bad about internode.

I'm looking at buying a second hand (or older) laptop due to financial constraints, and was wondering what experiences different people have had with different manufacturers in regards to laptop longevity... I am interested to hear your feedback! I'm not too concerned about specs.

I see no reason why commercial games shouldn't receive a censorship rating when commercial films do. The problem is there is no R+18 or X/NVE ratings for games.

Re: Oh Apple™, why oh why Depends what OS you are running... ;)

Hehe... seen the hidden scene and it was good for a laugh. :D

Check the manual of your DVD player, if you bought it recently it may very well be a region free player. The other thing to keep in mind is whether your display (television) is NTSC-compatible as most, if not all region 1 discs are in NTSC format and not the Australian PAL format. You could...

Most countries are signatories to copyright and intellectual property agreements, which means by law you cannot get around copyright. Many countries such as China and Russia do not enforce their laws so if you set up a web site in those countries you should be ok, but if you are identified as...

I know my employer was looking at 3 for data over mobile networks... they seemed pretty good in certain circumstances but I think there was another mob that was a better fit for us, can't remember who though. Sign up with Telstra at your own peril. ;)

Have a look at their web site. They have many different plans/contracts to choose from.

This from a friend's blog: I just wanted to have a quick rant about Telstra. I’ve recently transferred the payment of my fixed line rental to my ISP iiNet (iiPhone). The main reason I chose to do this was that iiNet offer something they call iibroadband2 (I really think they’re taking this ii...

and don't use Outlook/Outlook Express.

What browser are you using? Do you experience the same problem(s) with different browsers?

Anybody know some good resources for the best laptop in terms of battery life?

Opera - for browsing I use this almost all the time, good usability but beta version isn't stable. Firefox - for anything important, and my main web development browser (Javascript Console and DOM Inspector rules). The others: IE - Only for testing code I develop. It sucks. Interested to...

I had a Compaq Presario 1700 with work which was fantastic until it started falling apart. The hinges in the monitor essentially locked up and the monitor went after three years. I must admit Powerbooks are damn sexy... unfortunately I don't have a spare $4k to spend on a lappy.

A friend of mine has been using iinet for over a year and has been happy with them, though I think he might be shopping around. It may be worthwhile seeing what networks the providers use as while some have their own networks, many buy wholesale off Telstra which inherits any problems with...

iptables ;)
