    I've seen it done too. It seems to be done with all those old school mIRC chatters back when mIRC was just being released. I'm not sure how it's done and I haven't opened mIRC in a loong time let alone the manual but perhaps look up stuff about the DCC Sends or maybe the /play command? Or maybe even a /splay?? But I think /splay (if that's even the right command) just plays music locally on your own machine.

     

    Sorry I can't be more help :S

    Josh, a bit off topic here. About the donation you've been asking the public for, why not ask your parents for help? Most parents I know support and love their children to go to school. You can give them back the money when you're financially capable. Take that as a loan from the people who bring you into this world...if you don't like the idea of being dependent on your old folks.

     

    P.S. I don't know about your family's financial livelihood, but judging from the way you've been pleading for monetary assistance, I suppose it's below the average? :noidea:

     

    really off topic lol.... Income is limited for them too. Living Paycheck to paycheck.

    The best thing to do is to do your research (which you are) and contacting admissions advisors/reps from the school you're looking at and ask them these questions specifically. They're there to help and answer any of your questions and they would be the ones who should definitely know all your answers.

  14. Is It Really Important To Graduate?

    Well what industry are we talking about here? Because like I said in my industry, a degree means nothing. 9 times out of 10 the employer in the Animation industry does not look at education or if you graduated or what GPA you held in college.... So I don't believe it is really important to graduate depending on the industry. What industry are we talking about here? :P If it's like insurance or accounting or something like that then I would believe it to be really important lol

    Depending on what job market you're looking at you may or may not need to graduate.

     

    For example. You want to be a doctor? You better have a freaking diploma or good luck getting hired!

     

    As for my case, I'm going to school for 3D Character animation. Interesting enough, animation companies don't care if you have a diploma or certificate or anything like that. The only thing they care about is the quality of work you do and what you can bring to them. Most people, however, in the industry do go to school to get their feet on the ground and learn the basics. From there, they just practice at home and keep applying for jobs.

     

    So all in all, I don't think it's REQUIRED to graduate depending on the job market. I wish more people would understand this :)

    That is why I say IE isnt safe to use. Use Opera. Its way nicer than IE anyways. Way faster, cleaner, less bs to muck through.

     

    But Firefox is better...............*begins the battle of Opera vs. Firefox* ...I'm just kidding by the way! Let's not have a FF vs. Opera thread lol

    HD and 16:9 Ratio are completely different.

     

    HDTV is a High Definition Television capable of showing 1080p footage. This is done through the HD technology. Also, you *MUST* use an HDMI cable to transfer this signal from a HD receiver to an HDTV. Otherwise, you will see SDTV (Standard Definition Television)

     

    Standard Definition is transferred through Composite, Component, and S-Video cables. None of these cables are capable of transferring an HD signal. So let's throw some of these into examples.

     

    I pay for HD programming. I have an SDTV. I hook up my HD receiver to my SDTV with a Composite/Component/S-Video and I see a standard definition picture.

     

    I pay for HD programming. I have an HDTV. I hook up my HD receiver to my HDTV with a Composite/Component/S-Video and I see a standard definition picture.

     

    I pay for HD programming. I have an HDTV. I hook up my HD receiver to my HDTV with an HDMI cable and I see a high-def picture.

     

    Keep in mind:

    • Just because you have a big 'flat screen' television, it is not HD ready.
    • Just because your TV can change to 16:9 aspect ratio, it is not HD ready.
    • Just because you hook up a HD receiver to a SDTV, you are not seeing Hi-Def picture.
