So, I flew to San Fran, drove to Sacramento, and saw Buckcherry from the third row. Just before KISS started, someone else showed up with the same seats and I was told my tickets ( bought from a broker ) were bogus. We saw KISS from the last row.

Wow. That was pretty generous of the location holding the performance. I imagine most places would have kicked you out.

I am sorry CG!
Unfortunately, this is very common for lot of shows. There was a big scam like this one for a Hannah Montana show in Atlanta. Lot of people got cheated. Fortunately, the organizers allowed them to watch the show.
I thought that as a seasoned veteran of musical shows, you would be aware of all such scams and avoid buying tickets from brokers.

God punishes some with bad concert tickets, and others with feeble minds.

After the loading preview, I'm staring at a big black screen. Is this per the game, or did someone think a dead terminal interface was funny?

Same here, for several of the games.

The FCC is going after people who've been scamming a service they offer that allow deaf people to use a normal phone system by using a sign language interpreter with a video conference link to translate between sign language and speech. A noble service to offer; but the FCC was paying $390/hour to operators. Even if the translators were making $80/hour ($160k/year) that would leave room for a 400% overhead rate to cover time between calls and administrative expenses. IF they were being paid something more akin to the average white collar job it would allow for an overhead rate of closer to 1000%. It seems to me that the participating companies should've been able to make money hand over fist even without billing for fake calls.

I'm working on a piece of ICT coursework and could do with a little help. I'll spare you the details of the circumstances, but I've failed a unit because my e-learning product wasn't written in PowerPoint. I've been told to recreate it over the weekend.
I can get the content and videos migrated over easily enough - some parts actually look better in PP. But a major part of my original project was the concept of checkpoints, where a chapter on the main menu would not be viewable until the previous chapters and introduction were viewed. This was easy in C# - a quick if-clause and I'd be done. But in PP, I'm stumped. I've done some research and apparently I need to use alternative views for every possible combination, but this just feels wrong. Is this the cleanest way to do it, or is there a better way to do it?

1. Make a PP slide that has a container for a C# application.
2. Insert your C# project as an object.
3. ???
4. Profit.
(and probably fail again)

Were they afraid you'd virus them up or something?
I'm not sure there's a way to do this with powerpoint directly. Although I'll be intrigued if someone comes up with a way.
I'd consider two options:
1. drop the conditionals idea
2. learn the macro tool inside of PPT
The first makes sense if your grade doesn't absolutely depend on this.
Frankly, if they insist you use this tool but it doesn't do that thing, then that should be a real option.
The second has the problem of maybe taking too long to do. But it is possible with that tool you could solve this. Sadly I don't know if it will.
This is all just a best-faith kind of suggestion. If I knew for sure that the macro language would get you there I'd point you to a site or something that could cut the shortest path.

Based on my experience with excel/word VBA you should be able to create VB6 esque forms with the basic set of windows controls. The only thing I think would be needed I'm not aware of (in other office apps) is a way to save the state between open/closing the dialogs/file. That said it's enough of a PITA that if it's not a requirement I suggest not being as clever as you originally wanted. That or going crazy and embedding a Flash/Silverblight app in a slide and doing everything in there.

I did have another idea.
I believe you can insert another powerpoint presentation as an object inside of a powerpoint presentation.
They'd be stuck seeing the slide before they clicked on the embedded powerpoint piece that had the additional content.
Again, these are just tricks I would try.

Interesting. Several projects on my plotting list* would benefit from something conceptually similar to that but able to process multiple channels of video input (eg cheapo USB webcams) in real time. ATM I'm not aware of anything smaller than a netbook mobo/picoITX board that would be capable of doing what I want.
* read it would be really cool if I could do ... but I don't have the space to work on it even if I found the time. I hope to fix the workspace space problem within a year; OTOH my epic procrastinating skills should never be underestimated.

It's got a C/asm lib to =generate= rgb or ntsc video.
Not to make any sense of it, comin' in, though.
I can't see the hardware handling multiple streams of it...
The MCUs are propeller and AVR.
I'm just lookin forward to the sound generatin' part.
Hoping to get a scrunch-ized version of my
midi sequencer onto the thing.
Like you, iiiiif i can find time...

OK. I knew that board wasn't suitable for what I'm pretending to myself that I'd play with; I was hoping that you or someone else on CP might be familiar enough with embedded boards to be able to suggest an alternative.

looks interesting, as soon as i saw the board, i thought Arduino with a bit bolted on. after reading the text, that is exactly what it is.
I have just bought my 3rd arduino to play with.....may have to track one down in the UK.
