    Want to learn programming, a few issues

    Thanks for the help everyone, and i chose c# because a friend suggested i try it out first and that it's becoming a more useful language, and the fact that i'm not too worried if its cross platform. Thanks again for all the links.

    Want to learn programming, a few issues

    So i've always wanted to learn how to program, but i don't want to pay for anything. :sneaky: Also, i can't find a modern guide. so if anyone knows a modern eBook for preferably C# programming that'd be nice. Also, i'm not a great self teacher, so can anyone give me any tips on that?

    Wireless Adapter

    Honestly, i just turned my router on and off, and it seemed to solve the problem. I guess it just hasn't been reset in a while, didn't know the solution was that easy.. Working flawlessly now. Really don't understand what happened, but im not complaining.

    Wireless Adapter

    So i have a usb wireless adapter, disconnects quite often, sometimes constantly. I'd like a new one, i want something fast enough to get good speeds on like tf2, but i don't need anything over the top. And pci wireless cards may not fit because of the size of my video card. Thanks. (disconnected...

    RPG recommendation

    Elder scrolls games would be good Fallout would also be a suggestion, but there's quite a bit of gore in it, so heads up there.

    Multiple monitors

    honestly didn't really like it, but thats probably because that massive differences in resolution and the fact that i really didn't know what i was doing. Not gunna bother, one monitor is fine with me anyway.

    Help with tf2

    Thanks for the advice, payload looks better than what i've been playing, this intel thing(not even sure what its called) doesn't sound as fun as payload.

    Orange Box Retail Installation Issues

    Good News: Got all the games installed. Bad news: tf2 basically won't update.. All the others updated at blazing fasts speeds, and tf2 was for a while, now its downloading at 0bytes a second... not even moving? Is steam's update server down? or what? only got about 2 gb left, and when its...

    Orange Box Retail Installation Issues

    They were all about 3.8 gigs, besides tf2, which was like 9. Those had to be the full games, not just updates, so i don't get why it won't just install off of the disc, i have no idea why it just starts digitally downloading them when i clearly have the disc.

    Orange Box Retail Installation Issues

    So i bought the orange box retail, because my internets slow, didn't want to bother with downloading for like 3 days straight. Anyway, i start to install, and creating local game files took ages... i mean like 2 hours, much longer than any other game ever, and i highly doubt it'd take that long...

    Is a 6850/6870 pretty decent buys?

    with rebates and deals ect, i got my 6850 for about $130-150, I love it, but thats because it maxes what i have at 1920x1080 resolution(on max anywhere from 30-60 fps depending where i'm at in the game, like on new vegas strip in fallout: nv, it always drops a bit because of all the flashing...

    Quad-core or Dual-core ? Which one do I pick ?

    Based on the list, most of the games i'll be playing aren't multi-threaded, but i also got this CPU: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16819103871 for $100, Quad for $100 is a steal imo, and it runs at 3.0 ghz, and i can easily overclock that.
