Me, Varg and possibly kreuz will be going alliance on gehennas with a large group from vanilla aszune players most from righteous.

was about to order tickets when I saw an email about one of my exams being moved from 12th to 17th of october, so I will not be able to attend this year.

I just bought a Asus N56J since I needed a lighter laptop for school and I am pretty happy with it though haven't used it that much. My requirements were mostly similar to yours though I don't care that much about battery. Else I was looking for enough memory, 15.6" screen with 1920x1080 resolution. I got mine for 900$ but original price was 1200$.

Edit: Here are exact specs of what I got

I am waiting for my midsemester Exam dates before deciding if I come or not this year. They are either the week before or after the LAN.

Thought this was fitting with pre-season starting soon.

I was discussing with my brother if Podolski had played this World Cup or not and found this article after the game.

Thought it was hilarious

Earlier this year in the Premier League. I remember how shocked I was that the keeper talked himself into staying on the field. The physio clearly meant he should be subbed but didn't have any way to force him of the field and neither did the ref. It is not only the American football though that is focused on head injuries. Other american sports like NHL has had a lot of focus on it and NBA has automatic flagrant foul even for incidental elbows to the head. It is just us here in europe that are behind.

Even though concussions are serious, they are still noticeable injuries though ramifications can be hard to predict. I am more worried with the ammount of deaths related to heart problems in sports. Many of these people who pressure their heart to the maximum in competition have never taken an EKG. It isn't an insane ammount but looking at this list there are way to many heart attacks of people in the age of 18-30. In most cases these are caused by heart defects and if said defect was known they would be able to compete at the same level with a slightly adjusted training regime. It was a huge shock here in Norway a couple of years ago when swimmer Alexander Dale Oen died of heart failure after training at the age of 26.

PS: freak occurance, was called by Foundation for Heartsick children while writing this.

just a note on the clan, you have to search in English(British) to find it not just English

I have seen quite a lot of people online since 2.0 was released and expect that some others will pick it up again. I have generally liked the changes so far but how good the expansion is will completely depend on how good adventure mode and rifts will be.

I do think leveling is slightly too easy now. I leveled a wizard from 1-60 in 7 hours played and had to lower the difficulty to not hit 60 before Asmodean (guaranteed legendary from first kill of act bosses if 1-59 and 1-60 for diablo)

I was hoping for a repeat of this in the women's final. There might be more fighting in men's hockey but there is no 1 on 1 in women's hockey

Talked to TL about the clash of B-R5RB and what really happened instead of what mainstream media is reporting about it.

This is a link to the Developer blog reporting on that event.
And this is a link to an article written by an Eve online player created for people that don't play the game explaining the fight and how some mechanics work around it.

I have been looking into starting with it, Have played before a few games but no more than that. I have also been considering if I should change my server since I have an account on Nordic/East but West might be more commonly used here

I would say learning the SOLID principles is the most important for good code design.

Can't remember where I read about it first but http://www.c-sharpcorner.com/UploadFile/akkiraju/s-o-l-i-d-design-principles-explained-part-1/ is a decent starting place for reading up on it.

Understanding SOLID and implementing it requires good understanding of Coupling and Cohesion.

I started following this when I started dabbling with c++ but it was a little basic for me since I knew other programming languages from before.

https://cs50.harvard.edu/

I also looked at stanfords cs106, the cs106a has changed to java which is meant for the beginner programmers but cs106b is still c++. The lecture videos on http://www.stanford.edu/class/cs106b/ are from 2008 and cover both a and b at the time but the assignments for B are harder then A if I remember correctly.
If you prefer books I recommend C++ Primer 4th edition which is very good.

Edit: Forgot to mention, it can be very hard to change from different versions of Visual Studio, so if you try the stanford assignments install VS2008 and use that instead of trying to convert it to newer VS.
