This is, or at least, was AAOTracker. It got merged into Battletracker which was tracking a host of other games, both made by Homey. Unfortunately a lot of the community (at least in Offtopic) died with it.

Yeah, BF2/AA tracker were the glory days of this forum. I came back recently and it seems to be pretty dead.

Some butthole got a 25-kill streak and nuked us.

WTF, no more swears?!!?

187 and gamah are long gone. Plurk only recently disappeared (relatively). Frankly, I have no idea why I'm still here. Clicking my bookmark seems to be a force of habit I guess

What was your username?

It's probably a sneaky chau

^^

Nah Chau was still here when the sites merged.

Yeah I remember. So sad.

I used to love the HW/SW forums back then as well. They were pretty awesome, I learnt a lot there. It kinda after-burned my interest in electronics tbh, and hence why I'm now doing an Electronic Engineering degree

Hey Dawn,

Keep up with that degree. It is VERY lucrative. It is what I have. It is also a degree that keeps you from forcing yourself into a 'professional box'. Since I graduated, I have not touched a single circuit. I have however, worked in software development (still currently own a small software company), in the space shuttle program as a processing engineer, and currently am the project manager (contractor side) for the new NASA Launch Control System. You have chosen a GREAT degree field. Good luck.

BTW - I will shortly be working a master's degree in Systems Engineering.

Thank you

I was going to do Aeronautical, and I went to several university open days to learn more about them. I went to Bristol, and I found out that you can learn about more than one subject. I looked at the list, picked Aeronautical and thought that Electric & Electronic sounded pretty good as well. Went to the Aeronautics one, was impressed. Then I went to the Electronic one. The lecturer put together such a brilliant presentation and put together such a convincing argument for doing Electronics that I immediately, in the time frame of that presentation, changed my mind and wanted to do Electronics, after thinking about doing Aeronautical for the better part of two years.

His arguments were

A) Electronic engineers are in short supply in England
B) It's relatively well paid (I already knew this)
C, and this is the big one)
You can go into almost any company AND use the skills you learned during uni. If I had ended up doing Aeronautical, I could probably go into about 5-6 companies at best, WHILE using my skills. I could go into a lot of other companies just because I'm an engineer and therefore think differently to others, but I wouldn't have applied my knowledge of fluid dynamics etc.

Whereas with doing an Electronics degree, every large company in the world has some sort of system that needs building/implementing, so my time at uni would be far less wasted.

But even so, I'm glad that you have managed to do well with your degree, even if you haven't touched a circuit ^^

I'm doing a Masters (MEng) in this, with a placement year in the middle... 5 years of studying. Should be fun ^^

A friend of mine's uncle is a mechanical enginneer for General Motors. He gets triple digits a year and all he does is test drive cars. All he has to do is ask for a car and he gets them (one at a time, though.) His son has an internship with GM as well and makes $80K a year.

Haven't got to ban anyone in a while! Exciting!

Was banned originally in September of '07 for racism (e.g., the 88 moniker which stands for 'Heil Hitler', numerous anti-Semitic symbols in signatures/avatars, constant racist posts).

Woody's banhammer is back in business!

I know 88 / HH stand for heilhitler but what if someone was born in 1988 and has 88 in theyre username

QQ

0.0 Well that was unexpected.

I didn't know about the 88 thing, but I learned something new today in Offtopic. That hasn't happened in too long ^^
