    I think I saw you one day in the Hamilton area, but I wasn't sure, more Facebook stalking obviously needed.

    And it's just too optimistic to hope that sponsorship for this will still be there by the time we get to next year isn't it. I mean they took roger west's sponsorship for that amazing concrete book away, and the prize for winning the mangonel competition the year before. We are officially the most un-sponsored year ever. Ever. :(

    I've a feeling that due to the course re-structuring, little effort has been put into our year, as it's the last of a dying breed so to speak.

    Jon has to give it back at the end of 4th year when it will be slow, and probably broken.

    actually i was looking for a computer. Have a monitor/tv in my room that i was thinking of hooking up to a pc connected to my home network and to an external hd soon to be filled with movies and music.

    anyone know of where i can get a pc (with no monitor) capable of nothing else but playing a few movies? i saw a few pcs in a skip in trinity a while back but theyre gone now.

    imo, you'd be better off with a multimedia hard drive

    If all you're doing is watching movies on it, that is. Peats sell the ones I linked above

    Could someone explain this bit to me :
    if(list==NULL || (student->lastName <= list->lastName))

    I understand the logic, but lastName is a string. Can you use "<=" alphabetically as well as numerically?

    Has it been overridden else where in the program?

    Operator overloading? I don't know, it's only an excerpt. Anyway, /g/ said that there's implementations for comparison of strings in the string class file.

    Strings are compared Lexigraphically. Seriously baza, it should have taken you five minutes to write the code and test out the ordering through playing around.

    I haven't bothered downloading Visual Studio.

    Shouldn't I be being congratulated for this unprecedented studying?!
