Computer releated things you dont understand...

Rendering (stuff like maya), have a basic grasp of coding (C++, VB, HTML, VBA) however it really is very limited. Never even used Linux...

To be fair my teacher was a bit stumped with the C++ I was doing today :p
 
How the hell do they first get 'hardware' to understand english commands in the first place? Or even binary, how does it 'understand' anything for that matter? Seems impossible to me.

Grub = a nightmare and ridiculous
Linux = a joke unil you can install things as easily as Windows/OSX

That be assembly
 
Assembler ;)

And anyway, machine code is the lowest level of operation. Assembler was just an interpreter for machine code.
 
Woah I don't really know where to start with this there really is too much stuff.

Right now I am trying to get my head round Dynamic Programming, Rigorous Proofs of a Formal Modeling language, Petri Nets, Pumping Lemma and a lot of the Theory of Computation in time for the exams.

The language is called "Assembly". An assembler is something that takes assembly language instructions and turns them into the targets machine code (well object code).

But how? Its a pieces of metal/silicon and circuits.

Right basically all your hardware is made up of logic gates. You give it a sequence of binary and it does what you want it to do. Your compiler just translates a language into certain instructions (opcodes) which in turn make your hardware do what you want it to do.

Or do you mean how does the hardware understand the instructions? Each logic gate represents a function of boolean logic.. so you just string them together to make a digit circuit.

Why my volume level goes up and down and sometimes even goes off completely without me touching it.
 
I am supprised the ammount off people say linux..

I knew nothing 3 weeks ago. Today i am building servers config my own servers in datacenters and can do just about everything. I used Debian but i am learning more on centos and others. I would next like to learn Java/PHP/Css. I already know a fair bit about flash and photoshop. Know HTML but its not really counted for.....

I could make some guide for you people wanting to learn linux.. best bet if you don't have a spare pc use VMWARE, It works very nicely. Ask if you want me to make a few guides up..
 
Not brilliant with programming but the biggest gap in my knowledge has to be Photoshop. I can see that it's very powerful but I can't work out how to do the most basic things in it. They just seem to be more difficult than in other apps like Paint Shop Pro.
 
were you talking about linux, Well yes it does involve code. Or you can use desktop but when its a server you usally SSH into it, This is like CMD.. Very simple when you know how
 
Anything software related.

I can put together pretty much any hardware, overclock, mod cases, and do any hardware upgrade, but anything to do with software and I'm completely out of my depth.

good luck - I did Dynamic Programming yesterday and it was tough (purely mathematical though - I don't do anything to do with computing at uni just a hobby)
 
ocuk forum and its total lack of worth while reading content

unless u want to cook an egg

order a drink?

or tell someone that you draw a sword....

I used to use PSP years ago until I discovered Photoshop. Admittedly it took me a few weeks to get used to it but now I wouldn't want to use anything else it's much quicker to use.

Just keep at it :)
