Heh, judging by the Top Posters list I'm no where near as black as him. Even if we're both a pale white from no sunlight.
There's probs going to be a GBA SP price cut very soon after the DS is released, as more people will be wanting a DS.

Pot! Kettle? Black?
This is hilarious

Sounds good, but tough. It's hard to be proficient at network coding because most of the testing involves setting up multiple computers. Plus, working on network Middleware straight away is asking for trouble :)

As you might know, teaching is a hell of a lot different from straight off learning. I've seen doctors, professors with several published articles and other stuff, but are plain crap when it comes to lecturing. Though when it comes to the job, unfortunately nearly all are employed by their academic reputation without any regard for teaching quality.

Damn right. How long has it been now without pay? I've applied to a handful of game companies recently for an internship and even they offer healthy, regular monthly payments - basically what you expect from a job. Keep pestering them for it!

Heh, me too. I can't even afford a 5 year old second hand car. A licence is no good if you can't use it.
All the best.
What do people think?
