    I've got a bit of a problem with this weeks computer assignment. I know how to do it I just don't understand what she's saying in the description of it:
    Frames come in two types- regular and fancy. The frames come in white and can be ordered in any colour the customer desires. Suppose that each frame is one inch wide. The cost of colouring the frame is €0.10 per inch. The cost of the regular frame is 0.15 per inch and the cost of a fancy frame is €0.25 per inch........

    the program should prompt the user to input the following information:

    a. the length and width in inches, of the picture.......
    ....

    when she says "The cost of colouring the frame is €0.10 per inch." does that mean the cost is (€0.10)x(perimeter of the frame)?
    also : "The cost of the regular frame is 0.15 per inch and the cost of a fancy frame is €0.25 per inch". does per inch here mean per inch perimeter?

    I've been reading this question over and over for about 30 mins and still can't decide what she means. what d'you think???

    Bloody WileyPlus, it's ghey!

    Well it's not too bad really, but I just got done a couple of times. It asked for the answer to two decimal places so I answered .66 and 0.66, only to recieve two big Xs and it turns out the correct answer was 2/3. Just me or was that misleading? Also htf do you enter the infinity symbol without the snazzy text editor, it's not in the regular syntax set!

    Mmmm...ok, off topicness.

    Anyone here watch heroes? New series is pretty good right?

    That should be off topic enough to squeeze in one more eng comment;
    WileyPlus officially sucks balls, page load error for the last hour and half before the deadline. WTF!

    yup.

    xubuntu 8.10
    ubuntu 8.10
    win xp sp2 standalone install
    win xp sp3 standalone install
    win vista sp1 standalone install

    I xubuntu is for me, but the rest are handy to have for when you are out fixing pcs for people.

    The questions are online though, and are randomly assigned to each user.

    Interesting. Why didn't I hear of this MSDNAA while I was actually a student? A few spare copies of XP wouldn't go amiss.
