I think you have found great meaning in your response... It reminds me of the other post a few days (weeks?) ago talking about how men use the female characters to test the other gender. I think that the difference in our sexes dictates how we play games. I'm not trying to say that one gender is better at FPS's than the other, I just mean that sometimes one gender needs for it to be so unreal that they can "get into character". I saw the episode, and I thought it was different, but in no way could I see it as realistic, nor the usual "unrealistic reality" of X-files... Ello Darkstar [There's always room for Ello!]
Hmmmm. Why would they care about how their students are saving their notes, tho? Are they upset that they don't get to see and/or have access to these notes at their whim? This might not really relate to the thread, but I have a theory. What if our schools and universities were to subscribe to the whole "A village teaching a child" thing? What if everyone over age 60 had access to shed some light upon those of our society that happen to be younger? Why is it that the only ones capable of doing this are required to be taught by those who are taught by those who are taught etc? I prefer to gain my education from everyday people. Granted, I may never recieve a piece of paper that opens the doors to big money, but I think that I am learning quite a bit more than the typical frat boy who parties until he can't remember his mothers name... Call me crazy, but for the price, headaches, and the cultural frenzy for something called "education", I think we should teach our children the real world first, and acadamia second.
I, too, have the same "talent" or burden. My first password was so small and simple that to think back upon it now I blush, but I have two long strands of random letters and numbers and punctuation that I can just "type". The only problem I have (and the reason I am responding to your post) is WHAT ABOUT PASSWORDS THAT ARE GIVEN TO YOU, AND YOU CANNOT CHANGE?!?!? I recently had to rely upon the wonders of temp jobs, and I was placed in a facility that requires a password to get into the data entry program. True, the password is relatively easy to remember after a week or so of using it, but every time I sit down to do my work, my fingers itch to use one of my two "chosen" passwords. After a few chastizing remarks from the network software, I recall the correct string and type it... Any thoughts on this?
