  1. Do yourself a favor by sexybomber · · Score: 1 · on Internet Communications While At Sea?

    Ditch the cake-eaters at Semester at Sea. Then apply to the Sea Education Association's Woods Hole Sea Semester. The former program is aboard a modified cruise ship. The latter, a fraking brigantine. Sailing, science, and some sex to boot.

    Also, SEA's not dumb enough to sail their ships in the Gulf of Alaska in February, a mistake SAS will fortunately never make again after their ship got bitch-slapped by a 50' rogue wave.

    (Why yes, I am an SEA alumnus, how did you guess?)

  2. Re:I don't get the "50% reduction in failures" by Animats · · Score: 4, Informative · on MIT Moves Away From Massive Lecture Halls

    MIT can do that to people. Burnout is a real risk there. But MIT's 6-year graduation rate for undergraduates is 94%. Most students do make it eventually. By comparison, Ohio State is at 68%. The University of California at Santa Barbara (America's best college for sex) is at 65%.

    (I didn't go to MIT. Went to Stanford.)

  3. Slashdot using daily nexus as source? by Jmechy · · Score: 1 · on Women Get Lots of Info From Male Faces

    You might want to link to a more reliable news source... Honestly, do you trust a paper whose main attraction is "The Wednesday Hump", a weekly sex column? http://www.dailynexus.com/opinion/2006/11667.html

    Is this the probulator you were talking about? In that case I can think of many who would step on it, hard!

  5. Professors Never Get Heard by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 0 · on Stanford Learns a Software Lesson

    I doubt any professors were consulted on this project. At UCSB they just built a new building devoted to nano-tech. Professors from around campus sent input on how to build this new facility so that it would be environmentally friendly. The contractor either never heard their suggestions or just plane ignored them. So now the new buildings will be using drawing 1/6th the power off all other campus buildings combined.

  6. College paper has further coverage of Zeus company by jasonla · · Score: 3, Informative · on Robotic Surgery

    I attend UC Santa Barbara, and I work on the student newspaper, the Daily Nexus. We did an article on the technology and the company responsible for it a long time ago when Computer Motion made it's first attempt at telesurgery. Here's the article, yes, that's my name in the byline.

    at my school, we dont have the attention span to pull off something like this. we are more concerned about collecting enough money so we can fill enough kegs with natural light for $40 a pop for the weekend. thank heavens *I* didnt go to mit.
