The bomb has been planted 1/3 Counter-Strike: Global Offensive is one of the most well known first-person shooters available on the market, offering many game modes to play both in custom and official servers. Bombergrounds: Battle Royale is a free to play massively multiplayer action game inspired by the classic retro bomber-games. You get thrown onto an island with many other players with only one goal in mind: Victory Royale! Up to 8 players can participate in action from one Mac. BombSquad supports USB gamepads, PS3 and Xbox 360 joysticks. You can even use your iPhone, iPod Touch or iPad as a controller through the 'BombSquad Remote'. Operating Systems Mac OS X 10.4 PPC, Mac OS X 10.5 PPC, Macintosh, Mac OS X 10.3.9, Mac OS X 10.4 Intel, Mac OS X 10.5 Intel, Mac OS X 10.6 Intel.
The bombicon has several different applications in computing, and typically indicates a fatal system error.
In computing[edit]
Mac OS[edit]
The Bomb icon is a symbol designed by Susan Kare that was displayed inside the System Error alert box when the 'classic' Macintosh operating system had a crash which the system decided was unrecoverable. Since the classic Mac OS offered little memory protection, an application crash would often take down the entire system.
The bomb symbol first appeared on the original Macintosh in 1984. Often, a reason for the crash, including the error code, was displayed in the dialog. In some cases, a 'Resume' button would be available, allowing the user to dismiss the dialog and force the offending program to quit, but most often the resume button would be disabled and the computer would have to be restarted. Originally, the resume button was unavailable unless the running program had provided the OS with code to allow recovery. With the advent of System 7, if the OS thought it could handle recovery,[clarification needed] a normal error dialog box was displayed, and the application was forced to quit. This was helped by the classic Mac OS providing a little bit of protection against heap corruption using guard pages; if the application was to crash and the application's heap was corrupt, it could be thrown away.
The debugger program MacsBug was sometimes used even by end users to provide basic (though not always reliable) error recovery, and could be used for troubleshooting purposes, much as the output of a Unixkernel panic or a Windows NTBlue Screen of Death could be. Mac OS Classic bomb boxes were often ridiculed for providing little or no useful information about the error; this was a conscious decision by the Macintosh team to eliminate any information that the end user could not make sense of. The error code was intended to be included in a bug report to the developer.
In Mac OS X, the system architecture is vastly different from that in the classic Mac OS, and an application crash can not usually bring down the entire system. A kernel panic screen (either text overwritten on the screen in older versions, or simplified to a reboot message in more recent versions) replaces the bomb symbol but appears less often due to the radically different system architecture. The bomb symbol is not used in Mac OS X, but a test application called Bomb.app, specifically written to cause a non-fatal crash, is included with Xcode and uses a rendition of the bomb symbol as its icon.
In the original Mac OS, the operating system call to display a 'bomb box' was named DSError, and the corresponding alert table information was stored in resources of type 'DSAT'. 'DS', as in the 'DS Manager.' For documentation purposes, this was renamed the 'System Error Manager.'[1]
Atari ST TOS[edit]
TOS-based systems, such as the Atari ST, used a row of bombs to indicate a critical system error. The number of bombs displayed revealed information about the occurred error. The error (also called an exception) is reported by the Motorola 68000microprocessor. The first version of TOS used mushroom clouds;[2] this was quickly changed, as it was considered politically incorrect.

Departmental Computing Requirements:
Architecture | Landscape Architecture | Product Design | Art & Technology
Introduction
Students in the departments of Architecture, Landscape Architecture, Product Design, and Art and Technology programs are required to own personal laptops. To participate effectively in the College of Design's computer-integrated studios and majors, these students need to have unlimited access to computer based design applications and tools while working in their studio work-spaces.
Students in other departments and programs are not required to purchase computers, however open lab-computing resources are limited, thus it is suggested that every student have access to a personal computer.
It is highly recommended that you base your hardware purchase by the requirements for your major. The majority of the CAD and rendering software required below can be run on a Windows based machine, however Adobe Creative Suite/Creative Cloud can be run in either Windows or OS X. For departments that require OS X and Windows based applications, you can purchase an Apple computer and run Windows via Boot Camp. Please review the requirements if you choose to take this route.
The College of Design, Technology Services staff can help you, if you need assistance. Please open a help ticket in the UO Service Portal to ask your questions.
Recommended Hardware Specifications
The following are suggested laptop specifications for all departments:
- 13″-15″ screen
- Intel i5 Dual Core or Quad Core i7 CPU
- 16 GB RAM
- 256 GB or larger SSD hard drive

Frequently Asked Questions
What are my options for financial assistance?
We encourage all students required to buy a computer to return a 'Plan to Purchase' form to the Office of Financial Aid. [Note: To view and download this information you must have Adobe Reader.] Forms are also available in your department office. The computer requirement may increase your financial aid eligibility. If you are not eligible for financial aid but need to borrow money in order to purchase your computer, you are encouraged to discuss loan possibilities with a UO financial aid counselor.
- Contact the Office of Financial Aid at 1-800-760-6953 or 541-346-3221. Students who are normally not eligible for financial aid may qualify with the additional cost of the required computer equipment.
- Consumer loans are available through banks and credit unions.
- Leasing options are available through some computer retailers.
- Apple offers income/credit based loans to qualified purchasers. There is no charge for pre-approval. Call the Apple Loan Program: 1-800-277-5356.
Where do I buy my hardware and/or software?
You may obtain the recommended hardware and software from wherever you wish, but we have made an effort to ensure that you get the best deal available by purchasing your computer from the UO Duck Store or directly from Apple or Dell.
For Apple computers, we recommend a visit to the UO Duck Store or the Apple Store for Education (select the Education section at the bottom of the Apple Store main page). Pricing is equivalent, however there is no tax if purchased from the Duck Store. The Duck Store may also have specials and sales that the on-line Apple Store may not have.
Order your Windows computer from Dell via our University of Oregon Premiere Dell site.
If you would like to shop in person, the Duck Store stocks all of the recommended Apple hardware and all of the required software. You can reach the friendly, knowledgeable staff at the UO Duck Store at 541-346-4331; ask for Computing.
Should I get a Windows computer or a Mac?
This is the hardest question to answer and also the most common. For the most part, Mac OS computers and Windows computers run the same software, including all Adobe and Microsoft software that students need to complete assignments. Most students will do fine with either one.
If you prefer one over the other, buy the kind you prefer. If you are unsure, verify with your department if there is a preference or review the program requirements above. Note: You can run Windows on a Mac via a separate partition or in a virtual machine via a program like Parallels.
Here are a few differences between Windows and Mac OS X computers that may help you decide:
| Windows | Mac OS | |
| Runs AutoCAD and ArcGIS (both are free for students): | Yes | Yes, requires purchase of Windows license and Bootcamp. |
| Viruses: | Yes | Yes |
| Spyware/Adware: | Yes | Yes |
| Need to keep up with security patches: | Critical | Critical |
| Initial price: | A good machine can be had for $1200 and up. | Slightly more expensive for similar specifications. Does allow the ability to run both Mac OS and Windows software. |
How do I run Windows on my Mac?
There are multiple ways to get Windows on your Mac. The easiest and lowest-cost method is called Boot Camp. All new Macs come with Boot Camp built in. Boot Camp is what allows the computers in computing labs to run both Windows and the Mac OS. Run the Boot Camp Assistant, follow the instructions, and insert a Windows installation CD when prompted.
Other software that allows you to run Windows on your Mac includes Parallels and VMWare Fusion. These programs allow you to run the Mac OS and Windows at the same time. They cost money and since they require both operating systems sharing resources, may slow down your computer if doing heavy design or rendering work.
Should I buy a laptop computer or a desktop computer?
Laptop computers are strongly recommended or required depending on the program. They will allow you to participate more effectively in computer-based classes. Laptop computers have the major advantage of being portable and convenient, which makes them more useful and easier to support. The primary drawback is higher cost and theft.
If you would like the convenience of a desktop in your residence or if you have the ability to use one in your studio, Technology Services recommends purchasing an external monitor and keyboard/mouse to attach to your laptop.
Students who are well into their academic careers may also find that having a desktop workstation would be beneficial. Desktop computers should be considered as a second computer to be used with your laptop. Please consult with your department or professors prior to purchasing.
The recommended computers are powerful and expensive. Do I have to spend so much money for such a powerful computer when I'm just a novice?
Yes.
Students who purchase a powerful computer will incur fewer upgrade costs later on in their academic career. A less powerful computer is much more likely to become outdated when you are two or three years into your program.
We expect that your computer will perform well for three to four years under normal use. You should plan to consider purchasing a second computer at some point during your academic career.
Can two (or more) students share the same computer?
No.
The requirement in Architecture and Landscape Architecture is for 'each student to have the appropriate computing capability in his or her principal work space.'
The Duck Bomb Mac Os 11
Can I use the computer labs instead of buying my own equipment?
No.
The UO and College of Design computing labs provide an alternative for students who do not have their computer on site. These university-supported labs are frequently congested at peak times, so access may be limited.
Will I be required to purchase more software later in my academic career?
Yes.
You must purchase the software faculty require for their classes. You will have access to a full suite of software in the computing labs. Computing labs are a centralized resource College of Design students. The labs give access to software, scanners, and printers that would be prohibitively expensive for students to purchase individually and provide students a place to try out software prior to purchase.
Should I purchase the hardware and software separately?
Yes.
We encourage you to do so in order to get the best prices.
The Duck Bomb Mac Os X
Do I need to buy anti-virus software?
No.
But if you purchase a Windows computer, you must install anti-virus software.
The UO has a site license for anti-virus software for Windows and the Mac OS. If you purchase an Apple computer, anti-virus software is optional.
Should I purchase an extended warranty insurance?
We urge students and parents to strongly consider purchasing an extended warranty with their computer for a minimum of 3 years. Warranties like AppleCare normally cover only non-accidental technical break downs, however companies like Dell allow you to also purchase accident insurance. It is best to always read the fine print!
We also strongly recommend coverage under renter's or homeowner's insurance, either yours or your parents'. You will probably need to declare your computer to include it in your coverage or add a special rider to cover your computer. Computer coverage is often inexpensive.
When will I need my computer equipment?
Please consult with your department as to when you will need your equipment.
Where do I set up my computer when I get it?
New graduate and undergraduate students should set up their computers in their design studios. Technology Services can help you with general set up and configuration questions or issues, however for major upgrades a visit to the UO IS Help Desk may be required. Please contact us for assistance.
Will my computer be safe in my studio?
We take precautions to ensure the safety of your computer equipment in all studio spaces occupied by the introductory studios.
- Access control is provided in most studios. The doors to the studios have access control devices which require a code to enter. Note that if your fellow students prop doors open, the purpose of the access control devices will be defeated.
- In many studios there are high-security desks that allow you to lock your computer in a safe box.
- We highly recommend that each student purchase and install the recommended computer security kit. You can purchase it at the University of Oregon Duck Store; it is part of the recommendation above.
What if I want to buy a printer?
Having a personal printer is not required but can provide convenient and flexible feedback in the design process. Before you buy your own printer, you may want to do some research on the surprisingly high cost of operating an inkjet printer. Low-cost laser printing is available in the computing labs, and color printing is available in the Output Room.
How do I set up an e-mail account?
Typically new students setup their Duck ID's when they go through IntroDucktion or via instructions received in the mail once initial deposits have been made to the university. Your Duck ID is the first half of your email address and can be managed at http://duckid.uoregon.edu. Students can use any computer with a web browser and an internet connection to check email via Webmail. Use your Duck ID and associated password to check your email.
More information about email and your Duck ID can be found at the University of Oregon IT website.
I have more questions, to whom should I address them?
For non-technical questions, contact your department. For questions about computers, contact College of Design, Technology Services at 541-346-6194, or please open a help ticket in the UO Service Portal)
