hi, I was reading your post about the astrodynamics program at the Texas A&M . I'm doing my undergraduate in Computer Science and Engineering. I'm dying to switch to aerospace ,and in particular - astrodynamics. I'm in my final year of study and I've just taken my GRE. Is it possible for...

timex expedition i bought a timex expedition t45601 , it has a compass, thermometer ,a tide scale and indiglo. It looks really cool.The compass is very precise too.

thanks for the reply guys.I'm currently doing my Bachelor's degree in Computer science. How important do you think learning c# and the .Net really is,for developing small or medium sized applications(hobby) and also for gettting a high paying job??:) Btw, are there any directx programmers...

hi guys this is my first post in this forum, sad to hear about the m6 forums:(,anyway , i've just started learning directx using c++ and i was wondering if the performance(read fps) of orbiter or any game will be affected if it was implemented in managed C# .Net instead of c++. i'm quite...
