You could disable BBCode. Might work. 

Its nice having you and Jens interested in Panther, its given me a push of enthusiasm and I'm sure it has done to the others. You are great! 

1) Oh, I thought it would.
2) Your welcome!
3) Fraid not *sighs* 

Sadly Passports are still needed, to prove you are EU I suppose. Also, my passport is swiss and we're not part of the EU.

threw paris at my parents and they gave me a Look (I could feel the capital L). I doubt it would work, but they do encourage my enthusuiasm for Scratch and Panther, even if they have no idea what I do so we'll see 

*phew* That was a lot of reading (2/3 pages worth)

Robotics and artificial intelligence are computer science!  (Well, robotics is also electrical engineering, but these days EECS is one combined department at most research universities.)  MIT and Stanford and Berkeley are ranked 1,2, and 3 in the US (some would say in the world but I don't want to start a fight    ) in EECS with the order among the three depending on who's doing the ranking. (Stanford has separate departments for EE and CS.)

You can't declare a major in robotics; you major in EE and/or CS, and after you finish the core classes that everyone in the major takes, you can choose to specialize in robotics or in AI (closely related fields of course).

Another place to consider for AI, by the way, is Edinburgh, closer to home for you.

If you come to Berkeley in the next 2 years or so, you get to have me as a teacher.

Im planning on going to Abertay universaty. They kind of specialize in Game Development, the main reason I'm on scratch. I first tried out scratch at a prototype game event which was by Abertay.

Or anywhere for that matter. Don't have a passport.

I'm amused at how hung up on passports you all seem to be!  If you passed the hurdles of cost and parental approval, getting a passport is the easy part.  Even I got one, and I have the honor to be listed in a House Internal Security Committee report as an enemy of the US government! 

Sorry, totally off topic, I know.

Off topic (Well kinda. It's on Panther...)

How in the world am I going to make a remix of Hero Interactive's Pixel...?

(Play it! It's epic. I just beat it!)

Yeah. I'm not going to study computer science (If I do) for a LOOOONG time.

But, hey! I'm the only one I know that programs in:

NXT-G
Lua
Scratch
Panther 
VB (2010)

Hmm...

Alice (A little)

no NXT Got $270? Get NXT! (WAYYY overpriced!)
Lua, yes Ever played ROBLOX? You use it to program games on there, with built in 3-D. (Also, easy to convert to VB from Lua!
Scratch, of course! Duh.
Panther    Double 
VB (2007) 2010 is better   
no Alice Meh. I quit it when I saw my first computer virus - When I was using Alice. (Obviously not the cause of it...)

You said you were an enemy XD

Well, technically, I said I was listed as an enemy.  The HISC was the new name of the House Un-American Activities Committee -- they changed the name as a P.R. move after everyone learned about how HUAC persecuted totally innocent people, and HISC wasn't much better.  (I think it finally went out of existence some time back.)

But, yeah, I am an enemy of the US government.  (From the left, not the right -- I'm not one of these Tea Party idiots.)  We could talk about all the reasons why, but in light of the other thread about spam maybe we shouldn't.

Panther Team, If You Are Reading This, Then Good. I Think Everyone's Been Blind Of How Awesome Panther Is To See It, But PANTHER IS A SPAM MOD. That's Right. I Can Prove It Too. This Is A Post On The Slash Forum:

It all got started with that Panther... Then everyone wanted to best it... (Which no-one's going to do!)

SPAM. That Just Proves Panther Is A Spam Mod.

Note To Panther Team: I Don't Hate Your Mod, I Think It's Pretty Awesome Too And I Still Can't Wait For It's Release. I Just Wanted  To Show You Guys That You Have A Spam Mod Too (Because You're Always Telling Everyone How Awesome Panther Is And Stuff). So Don't Think I Totally HATE Panther.

I really don't understand this. Even if we posted poems and songs and propoganda about Panther in every forum thread we could lay hands on, Panther would not be a spam mod as our mod has not been used to spam, we'd be talented, song writing spammers to be sure, but the mod can't be reffered to as spam.

As the case may be, none of us has had the time to write legendary songs about Panther, and as the post was placed in a thread talking about another mod, it really isn't spam anyway, simply discussing something relevant
