Yes, but you're limited.

2) Is there a limit to how much I can spend at once?

If you verify your account you have no limits, however if you do not you're limited to $1000 per year and the majority of retailers won't accept an unverified Paypal account.

3) Can I use my unverified PayPal account on any website that supports PayPal payments?

No, not unless they have it set to accept any Paypal. Many companies only allow verified Paypal accounts to purchase from them.

Are you too fucking stupid to read the damn story? It's 3 paragraphs. Idiot.

yeah, but I'd clear it with her first and split the money, or I'd just do it because I'm a selfish dick.

The majority of programming is not knowing a language, it's being able to approach problems and solve them using the language you're working with effectively, you can know the language inside out but if you don't understand programming it'll get you no where. For this reason it's okay to start with any language, granted some languages are awful and teach bad practices but a lot of programming is understanding methodology and not knowing a language, although that helps. This is why people can pick up a new language in a few days if they're a good programmer.

If you feel comfortable with starting with Actionscript, go for it, it won't put you at a disadvantage, it should be about what you want to achieve; if you want to make flash games then go for actionscript, if you want to make a standalone game go for c++ etc.

you stay in bed so you don't spread the illness and because it gives your body chance to rest, not because it forces the bacteria out through sweat, that would happen whether or not you're in bed...

It's also a "soft rule", if you send a PM to a flash forum moderator and explain your intentions and provide proof you're capable then they're happy to approve it, the rule is a pre-emptive avoidance of shit, if you care enough you'd contact a moderator.

That's a pre-requisite for being a programmer.

I pre-ordered it back on october 1st.

I'm 18, stupid, I have no friends and I failed high school. I doubt any of us fit the stereotype.

Also I only speak English.

You should be contacting the audio creator if you intend to profit from the Flash, yes, if you don't you risk getting in trouble for it.

This is why, the section serves no purpose so it isn't used (+ very few people even had permissions to use the forum)

That has nothing to do with it

submit high quality content. you make money from people seeing your ads on your userpage and in flash. very few people will ever make much from it, if you don't submit lots of stuff then it's useless.

Why do people take a video uploaded to youtube and then reupload it themselves to get more views? It's pathetic, the original is here and has over 400,000 views.

I SHALL WATCH.

Yeah, it's pretty awesome.

maths is logic, programming is logic, they're connected, although to be good at one you don't need to be good at the other. I'm awful at maths and awful at programming, yay.

Campaigns are comprised of maps, there were 4 maps in the original game, each campaign had 5 maps. That's 20 maps, the new game has 25 maps.

I don't know what it's like up in the weird north, but down here college is in the majority for those who are doing BTEC etc, there's only a couple that come and do A level and that's because they're doing obscure subjects not supported by the sixthforms.

ftao americans: college that gothclawz goes to is in England, it's different to yours. He doesn't stay there and get drunk, it's basically high school without uniforms, it's the same level of education.

college is the same level (normally) as high school, if you fail high school and end up on a shit college course that is the equivalent to high school level "education" you're going to have people just as immature.

You're an idiot for not realising this. Also you should make clear this is English college you're talking about, not American. They're entirely different.
