  1. Re:A better way to achieve their goals... on Ukrainian Computer Destruction Championship · · Score: 1

    Would this be like the old "Scaired straight" thing form the 1970s, where they took a bunch of kids to prison for a day? As I recall it didn't work then.

    I have often thought about doing that for a couple of (Worthless) degrees.

    Since most HR departments don't know their asses from a hole in the ground, it might be fun to see what kinds of jobs, that I am horibly unqualified for, that I could potentialy be offered.

    Colour-coding is just useless too... I am colour blind.

    Add the pain of writing, colour blindness, and a mild form of dyslesia (sp) and you can guess I have been forced to come up with some unique methods of studying.

    I have been thinking about writeing a book on alternative methods of studying.

    Most people don't need Word 2000 to write a letter to their grandmother.

    Of course anyone who has ever tried to use Wordpad quickly discovered that What You See Is Not What You Get. Makeing it useless.

    Everyone except me! I don't write down anything. I learned to type so that I could avoid the pain of writeing. As I typed in my original post, I have severe nerve damage in both hands and writeing is very painfull for me.

    I was the first person in my highschool to be allowed to turn in assignments printed on computer, and I had to battle my ass off for that.

    "partly because you remember more if you physically write the stuff down"

    Perhaps you remember more by writeing it down. If I waste my time takeing detailed notes, the only thing I will remember is the pain in my hands. I have severe nerve damage in both hands.

    I am somewhat older than most /.ers (35) and have found the best system ever. (For me.)

    A PDA with a keyboard for notes, and a good old-school legal pad for diagrams.

    After class pull the data off the PDA, and scan the diagrams. Slap that together in whatever format you prefer, and away we go.

    There is no perfect tool, use whatever you like, and combinations are perfectly acceptable.

    I never use Mandrake on a server... I roll my own servers, but for a PC desktop nothing beats Mandrake..

    I believe in using the best tool for that job at hand. Redmond WA has yet to provide me with the best too.. In my opinion.
