Open Question: I don't feel I'm learning enough in school?

First of all, thanks to everyone who spends the time reading this and also to your answers =]. I'm a junior in high school right now and I'm really worried about my future. I don't have the normal high school student schedule right now, mainly because I go to another school program during the school day(Technology Center of Dupage) where I learn to use computer programs such as Maya, Flash, Photoshop, Visual Basic, and more. These are all programs used in gaming and I have personally visited a gaming company and have seen that they use the same exact programs as I am learning to use. Though it may seem like I'm getting a good start in my future, I have been slacking this year and haven't learned much about the programs. It's only been 1 year, but I feel like I will fail in the future. I will make up for my loss in my senior year and learn as much as I can. With all that said, my main question is: should I be worrying about not learning enough? Do you feel that I'm capable of going to college and learn everything that I need to? Is college where I REALLY start learning about the things I need to know for my future job? Or is high school a part of it? Am I being pretty dumb right now and stressing for no reason? I've been stressing out about if I have to be ready right now or not. more

Resolved Question: How do i kill a process with visual basic?

My computer has been acting up, often when i exit out of counter-strike source the hl2.exe process is still running so I need to go into task manager and end it a lot. I was wondering if anyone could tell me how to kill a process with vb so that I could put it in a command button. I have a "macro" on my desktop that I use to launch all my games/movies so I would just add it to that, and I have that up almost all the time so it would actually be faster to use the button then go to task manager, find the process and end it. I cant put "Dim RunningProcess As System.Diagnostics.Process = Process." it automaticly puts SystemColorConstants after i type in system and try to put . in there, any other ideas? I downloaded vb8 for some reason it does not like the line of code that you gave me, it says "Index was outside the bounds of the array." I typed in exactly what you gave me. any ideas why it wouldn't like it? this is what was highlighted when i tried to run it: runningprocess As System.Diagnostics.Process = Process.GetProcessesByName("hl2.exe")(0) more

Voting Question: help with making a simple visual basic program?

i used to do a lot of visual basic, butg i have moved on since, and do a lot of game programming in other languages, something which i found futile to attempt in vb as there was very little choice in game options. ( totally my opinion). i used to be able to do this. i need to know if any of ou can help me with this progam (actually making it - it will take a very short while) - since all my time is tied up with studying for the exams. the program is actually quite simple: in visual basic, or any other program there has tgo be a part where we can copy in data : (test scores) so for eg : micheal blah = 73% george moo = 87% hilary duff = 68 % and the i need to be able to put in exactly 10 people details. and in the program in a screen will be 10 horses, each with the peoples name underneath it ( the names that go into the data feilds) and they will move in accordance with their test score percentage so if they got 73% then they will move say 7.3 cm forward and if they got 59 then they move 5.9 cm forward. and right at the end, within the 10 peoples data, the one whoi got the highest test score, should be the furthest away from the start. here are the needed things. any sort of program compiler or maker or whatever ( e.g. vb6 or vb.net) and the horse images : http://logo.cafepress.com/2/5605360.2648822.JPG http://potlee.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/cartoon-horse-yellowsmaller.jpg oh yeh can teh background be white please so you cant see the background difference with the horses and the programs screen. thanks to anyone and everyone whoh helps me with this. i would take the time to study what i forgot ages ago, since i do much more complicated stuff now, but i am studying for exams, and all my time should go towards that. thankyou and good day to you all yehm813 oh yeh and btw way guys, use any lamguage u know, like c or ++ or anyfin, as long as any other computer can use it. more

Resolved Question: Visual Basic Help Please?

I am currently programming a Jeopardy game in Visual Basic 2008. I have the basic functionality of the game working, but I have designed it so the user can set his or her own questions, answers and categories. The problem is, I have never had to design a game that saved the settings upon closing. I want my Jeopardy game to automatically save what they entered for the questions, categories and answers for the next time they play. I know it is possible, but I don't know how to do it. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. I understand that XML files are probably the best way to go, the only problem is the fact that I don't know how to get the program to write to the XML files. Novice computer users will be using this program... (Specifically a coworker of mine, it is made specifically to aid her in training new employees), and I can't expect her to jump into an XML file and know how to edit it. She specifically requested this feature so she could quickly and easily keep the questions in the game up to date. more

Voting Question: The Game to diss Rick Ross? Work with 50 Cent?

50 CENT INFORMATION Well, all remains quit on the home front with 50 Cent. But there are some rumors buzzing in the background. Fif has been shooting a new movie with Keifer Sutherland and that is why he has been kind of quiet. I heard that the summer is where the real “heat” is going to come down. Also, they said that there is still a tour planned for Dr. Dre, Eminem and 50 this summer or so. A source of mine continuously keeps hearing that The Game wants to work with 50 Cent, but Jimmy Henchman isn’t with it. If you remember the last “diss” Game had with Rick Ross…it really didn’t have any barbed words for 50, even though he was on it. You know Jimmy and 50 have their own set of issues as well. Rumor has is, 50 Cent really wants out of his Interscope contract and hopes to go to either Def Jam or Atlantic. Not sure how factual that is, but I’ve been hearing for a long time that Lloyd Banks will end up over there. Tony Yayo may be going independent. I heard that 50 Cent is still committed to making Mobb Deep pop when Prodigy gets out of jail. It would have been nice to have seen him help Hav with that ill-fated solo project! I also hear that there may be a future 50/Jadakiss song coming down the line. Jada continues to sell very well. I see him striking gold. EMINEM RUMOR... I heard that Eminem and his success is really going to dictate what happens for EVERY artist on the roster at Shady/Aftermath/G-Unit. I’m not going to into more detail, but if he doesn’t sell a lot, it could be catastrophic! Good to see an emcee actually SPITTIN! Lets get back to basics, kids! Lyrics, visuals and concepts! THE GAME UPSET AT ROCK ROSS? This is a separate rumor altogether, but it goes well with the previous one under the 50 Cent category. A friend of my friend out in L.A. said The Game was on the radio and claims that The Game said he would diss Rick Ross if he dissed Eminem again. According to rumors, The Game said he’s not concerned with 50 Cent and Ross going at him, but he wants Ross to leave Em and Dre out of it. Now…this sounds interesting to me. Also, I heard that Rick Ross “begged” him to be on the remix of “Mafia Music” and diss 50 Cent. Now, Game was on it, but didn’t really go at 50 like that. I also heard Game had some unsavory things to say about Ross’ C.O. past. Game reportedly stated that, “I recorded my verse and sent it to him, because I was smoking weed I didn't want to get a citation or piss tested and sent to my P.O.” Oh boy. I hope this is wrong, because I definitely don’t want to see The Game and Ross clashing! EMINEM VS RICK ROSS LOOMING? This could be just another internet rumor, but its worth a note. There are rumors in circulation that state that Eminem is about to lyrically lash Rick Ross. That’s right. Even though his CD is close to dropping, they are saying that Em is also taking some time in the studio to record some bars for Rick Ross. Not looking like anything beyond lyrics will be directed at Ross and that is a criticism Ross had of 50 Cent, that he did a lot of videos to battle. Anyway. As always, we’ll see! more

Voting Question: How to program AI in Visual Basic .NET 2008?

I am studying Visual Basic 9. In the past, I know most real coding was done in C, but today the only difference between C and VB is the syntax. I have been programming games, and so far, my method has been to define all possible move combinations, using a very long list of Elseif having it first look for moves where it would win, next look for moves where the user would win, then work it's way down to free moves, which I use multiple lists for that with random values to make it not so predictable. That method seems to work great, but I don't consider it true AI, and it is very time consuming, especially now that my games are getting more complicated. What I need is a shorter way of doing it. Ideally, I'd like a method where the program figures out for itself ideal combinations, a learning AI, but any online guides or downloadable books that will teach me simpler methods of programming AI in Visual Basic .NET is what I need. For example, Chess AI. I can't imagine that it is ever done the way I do it. But I can't find any simple tutorials explaining how it is done. I don't want source code, copies of someone else's work, I want to learn how to do it myself, even if someone else's work would be better, the point is to learn. Any information would be helpful. But I'd like to find a way to do what I want in Visual Basic .NET and VB .NET only. (I don't know any other languages at this time.) Thanks. I am not looking for methods of AI for an existing program, rather for new more complicated programs. Even if it is not chess AI, some examples of AI methods would be useful. I have seen allot of books on the shelf, too many, and most of them are so long and drawn out without actually getting into anything serious. I learn by doing and don't really internalize it if I don't do a bit here and a bit there and gradually move into it. I would still rather a website because I don't live near a bookstore. I can't exactly flip through the pages online to see if it has what I need, so a suggestion would also be helpful. more

Danish education comparison unfair - language research

Berit Smerdon said she grew up in Denmark, where students aren't introduced to a second language until after they've learned the basics in Danish - their first language.

Students are taught 60 minutes of English a day beginning in their third year of school.

By Grade 7, they are often introduced to a third and fourth language, Smerdon said.

"If it can be done in Denmark, should New Brunswick not be able to do so as well?"
