So my sister is in New Zeland for christmas and I wanted to ship some stuff to her. The best thing I can think of so far is to jsut get her some stuff through Amazon NZ and have it shipped to her address. Anyone have any better ideas.
Also Im sure I read in a Scifi book that the auther had the idea of space stations with massive girders that they could launch onto earth as a weapon. Anyone have any clues on that or have I been at the christmas cheer to much?
Ship stuff to her through space stations with massive girders that can be launched onto earth. Duh.

I wish there was an Amazon in this region. All the online stores end up charging that little extra which would account for the shipping fee from the US or UK.
I would recommend ordering stuff that can only be shipped within your region for a good price then send it to your sister. (Obviously something she wants).
In Japanese sentence structure does the adverb come before the article or after? In other words would I say "Osake o zenzen mimasen." or "Osake zenzen o mimasen."? (as an example; my Irish ancestors would pitch a fit if I didn't try every type of alcohol I could)
Jisho.org's sentences section is a good place for questions like that. And I just stumbled on ALC, which is actually a really cool dictionary. Lots of words and phrases I haven't found in other dictionaries, and if you double-click on a word in an entry, it'll search for it in a new tab.
So I've been trying to figure this out for a bit and I don't understand enough about internet providers to get a clear answer. Long story short our old internet provider was under my roommates name and he never paid for the internet. So since I knew he wouldn't pay and among other things he was a piece of shit who owed me a bunch of money I just decided to take the modem. Today I tried to switch out Comcast rented modem with the new one. I called Comcast and we spent a while trying to connect it but to no avail. It would attempt connect but the connection wasn't completing. It kept failing on the actual internet connection. My question is whether or not it's possible for an internet provider to ban a MAC by holding on to its registration? I don't really see how that's possible. Maybe it keeps trying to resolve to the old provider instead of to comcast? Maybe I need to reset some on board settings?
So I have been trying to go back and listen to the Geek Nights back log, and I RSS feeds and archive have all of the podcasts listed, which is nice if when I am looking for an episode about something specific.
But I was wondering if there was any simple way to down load a bunch of episodes in bulk so that they will easily be sorted in to iTunes? Like a torrent or something?
Simply subscribing to the podcast through iTunes did get me like the last 100 episode but, I have already listened through those. Any help would be appreciated, or at least confirm that direct downloading is the only way.
Question for those of you in the tech industry or know about it -
When companies advertise for "Software Engineer" positions, are they literally looking for people with Bachelors of Engineering or can you have a BSc in Computer Science and still grab these jobs?
I think Software Engineer in that context is just another way of saying Software Developer.
Ok thanks.
You only said Bachelor's in Engineering so I only thought civil engineering because that is what you think of when you think "engineering." Chemical Engineering is in fact it's own degree.
As is Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Aerospace engineering, Biological Engineering, Industrial Engineering, and Petroleum Engineering, as it turns out. Depending on who you're talking to, Computer Science is an engineering field.
The Bachelor's in Engineering he was talking about is actually a kind of degree - there is a Bachelors of Science in Engineering degree that some schools consider distinct from your standard B.S. degree.
But anyways, "Software Engineer" is pretty much always equivalent to "Software Developer."
Thanks I just wanted to make sure because I've been immersed in the medical, pharmaceutical biology side of study and industry for 13 years but only kept up on consumer level news on technology and don't have any friends in the field.
The University who has offered me a BSc in Computer Science also has a Bachelor of Engineering in which you can go down the Software Engineering path. Talking to my brother he just says it allows movement between different engineering jobs because his current firm's project is not specifically a chemical engineering project but they are doing it anyway.
There is also a separate "Computer Engineering" field, which is more or less the halfway point between Computer Science and computer hardware focused Electrical Engineering. This was basically what my degree was.
In general, yeah, software engineering is basically software development. My title is essentially "software engineer" where I work. I suppose if you were to get pedantic, software engineering focuses much less on the theoretical aspect of computer science (theory of computation and such) and more on practical applications of computer science to develop large scale software projects. Kind of like how a lot of other "engineering" disciplines are essentially applied physics/chemistry/biology/etc. depending on the individual discipline. Most schools don't really offer degrees in "software engineering" though, and any good computer science program would also require some amount of software engineering coursework to get your degree. Now, I have seen a few "software engineering" masters degrees being offered, but these tend to be for part-time, older students, who already have a full-time software developer job and would like to get a masters in a related field without having to quit their job to go back to school.
The differences between the B.Sc. and B.E. are probably pretty unique to each school, and I don't think the differences will significantly affect your job qualifications. Look at the requirements and take whichever one you like better; I'd recommend you favor the one that allows the most flexibility.
Computer science is mostly science with application to an engineering school of thought. That's why you get a science degree. You learn the tools to build but what you mostly get out of it is a lot of applied theory which is where the science part comes from. The difference from traditional engineering is they deal in measurements, specific calculations, and some sort of material from which to create. That's why software engineering is named so. It deals with specifically written and designed code.
Bachelor's in Engineering degrees are pretty rare, in my experience: Most schools I know of offer Bachelor's of Science as their undergrad degree for engineering fields.
Also, software engineering is nerfed CS for people who are bad at maths.
WSU didn't have anything like that but it did have a Bachelor of Arts in Computer Science which supplemented all the actual computer science classes with art classes. So really all you get out of it is a working knowledge of how to use a programming language and a compiler. Something you could learn for free on the internet or for cheap with a couple books. It was branded as a major for people who wanted to make video games but really it was for the kids that couldn't get past the file systems class where you build a small scale ext2 filesystem. Most of the kids who dropped were fine at math and could sort of program but weren't cut out to do it for a living.

I have a Bachelor of Arts in Engineering, though my university also offered a Bachelor of Science (which is what most engineering majors got). The main difference between the two was the course load. The BSc was basically the BA+. I personally actually was just shy of getting a double BA in electrical engineering and computer science (I think I needed just 2 or 3 intro-ish CS courses to fulfill the CS BA requirements). I probably also could've just gotten a straight up BSc in Computer Engineering, but that major was introduced my last year and there wasn't time for me to finagle whatever requirements were necessary for that degree before graduation.
So, in FO:NV, I like to replace the songs on the radio with my own (the soundtrack is good, but after a certain while it starts to get repetitive). So, I take my own song files, rename them to the names that the game looks for, and play like that. However, this only works for some songs, and not others, and I can't find a discernable trend. I checked, and all the names are copied correctly. Why isn't this working for some songs?
