I was in a similar situation my freshman and sophomore year. I absolutely loved my beginning Computer Engineering classes but then, as I got further into it, they became less fun and more painful. It's not just that they became more difficult, the subject matter was just no longer to my liking (circuit analysis and analog are not for me.)
At the same time I found myself enjoying my required CS classes and ended up changing majors. I'm now two semesters from graduating and I'm still greatly enjoying my classes. I definitely work my ass off (Ga. Tech is well known for that) but it's fun.
Basically, maybe CS was good for you at the beginning but once you got further into it, as the true subject matter was exposed, you decided it wasn't for you. I'm definitely not suggesting you to change majors at this point but perhaps you should find a future that involves slightly different material. If grad school is in your plans then figure out what you really like, be it a small specialty of CS or a whole different field, and do that. Same with a future job, make sure it's something you think you'll enjoy doing for the rest of your life (or at least a few years.) I know lots of people who have a degree in one thing and do something completely different.
Second, we have a much clearer objective going into this: Kill the terrorists.
I don't know about you, but this doesn't sound very clear to me. We're fighting in a country that, like all others, is home to many different people. Unlike many wars, our enemy is not in uniform. There's no way to tell who's a terrorist and who's the local farmer unless technology is far beyond what I suspect and we can now read minds as well. If the terrorists managed to blend in here in America, I'm sure they'll have no trouble blending in with people of their own religion, ethnicity, and language. It would be extremely advantageous to get the populace of Afganistan on our side as well which is part of the reason the airdrops are such a good idea (the other reason being simply the humanitarian side of it.)
Let's just hope that our technology and our friends worldwide can help keep this from becoming more of a disaster than it already is. I definitely agree that this needs to be done but I hope it's short and sweet.
I've read the positions of the (what I consider) major candidates (Browne, Buchanan, Bush, Gore, and Nader) on issues2000.org and although I do recall the Bush comments and the Gore comments I don't recall the The Truth that you've so graciously included. Last time I checked the real truth was not so biased. It was, rather, a compilation of facts omitting all your stupid oppinions. I realize that this is most definitely a place to state your oppinion but you should separate your oppinions from the rest of it and call it something like My Oppions rather than The Truth.
It is quite obvious that my truth is much different than your truth.
Thanks for your time.

Well if you want a college town, atlanta's pretty good. You have emory, georgia state, and (geekiest by far) georgia tech. I'm currently at tech and I know of a number of "geek houses." You should definitely put up some flyers around campus at tech. There are always people looking for apartments.

I'm a college student so my credit is fairly new. I recently requested a credit limit increase on my Discover but was promptly rejected because of a high ratio of balance to limit. I requested a copy of my report to find out that one of my mom's credit cards was on it. The balance was huge because she had just bought a new car. The balance from that one card was nine times the limit on my own cards. I requested the credit bureau to fix it and they said that they verified that it is indeed mine. I could understand if it were my dad's credit card (he and i have the same name) but it's my mom's. Anyway, i'm still having to deal with it because credit bureaus are, by definition, a pain in the arse.

Sounds like what happened to me last year at school. At Colorado School of Mines over spring break somebody stole every shower handle from every dorm on campus. Since I had been there over break I knew to bring my wrench with me to the shower but everyone else at school was thoroughly confused and pissed. Everybody got over it and I thought it was hilarious.

He claimed that he was not allowed to call anyone after midnight. He tried to use that as a reason I should answer his survey. He said I'm the last chance he could make money for the day. However, when he called back it was after midnight. What an asshole. I probably would have tried to do something about it if I weren't too asleep to think.

Just last week a telemarketer called me at one minute til midnight (11:59 PM) and woke me up wanting to ask me about my oppinions on clothes brands. After denying him twice and saying goodbye he then started reading the first question. I promptly hung up. Here's the good part Then he called me back. What kind of dense telemarketing arse calls someone back after being hung up on? I seriously wish I could have hurt him in some way. It turns out he called my next door neighbor right before he called me. I can't believe they have the nerve to call people at midnight.

My senior year of high school (98) I was doing research on superconductors for a physics project and I came across a number of things online about Podkletnov and his experiments. If you feel like looking there are a number of attempts at reproducing his results. I don't feel like looking again but I know is you do a search for Podkletnov then you'll find plenty of things about him and his experiment and its reproductions. My point: Don't just stupidly assume that nobody has tried to reproduce the experiment.

Those laws are for you americans, You can keep them, in fact, shove them right up your ass.
from the sound of your post i assume you're canadian. if that's the case, shouldn't it be arse?

Although I'm not extremely knowledgable in this area, I seriously think that there'll always be some way to work around any screening in place. Traditionally, there have always been work-arounds to any kind of security. The code might be long and tough but once somebody nails it it'll spread like wildfire. Until corporations decide to give up it'll be an ongoing battle to outdo the other. It'll be just like the MS-messenger/ AOL Instant messenger thing. We have the advantage that it's very difficult to locate and sue millions of users. It may be a pain in the ass for a little while but it'll be cracked before long.

my old high school celebrated pi day every year. mu alpha theta (the math club) used it as a way to make money. they have a plywood stand-up that has a pic of "a-cute" angel and a "right" angel with the value of pi painted all around the plywood. the heads of the angels are cut out and teachers and the principle take turns sticking their faces in the holes. students can buy whipped cream pies for a dollar and throw them at their favorite (or least favorite) teacher. my senior year i was working the pi booth at lunch and somebody payed me $5 for a chance to throw one at me (they missed btw).

Not all USA-ers write their dates incorrectly. One day a couple years ago I started thinking about how strange the usual US date format is and ever since I've written my dates day-month-year. Usually to keep from confusing people (like on checks and stuff) I'll actually write out the month rather than use the number. My boss is canadian and he writes his dates year-month-day which struck me as a bit odd. Does anybody know if this is common?

i tend to have mixed feelings on this whole subject. i admit to possessing multiple songs and such which i do not have 'legal' rights to. i have not purchased these songs nor have i compensated the authors, publishers, and the like. occasionally i feel that i should probably in some way compensate the performers and owners of the media. however, i (like most, i suppose) would much rather have something for free than pay for it. personally, i feel that if i like an artist or song enough then i will actually go out and purchase it to support the artist and their work. i believe that many of my peers feel the same. i know that being at a university most of my classmates possess loads of mp3's, movies, and software on their computers that were not purchased but i know that they all still occasionally buy cd's and dvd's. if anything this will support artists who have a good album rather than ONE good song surrounded by crap. fifteen dollars is not too much for fifteen good songs but it is too much for one. i also believe that the music industry's recent report on its highest grossing year ever would seem to reflect my thoughts. finally, i will take an extra step and urge people to support artists that you really really enjoy and don't worry about all those other mp3's (unless the feds come knocking on your door).

I'm having to agree with saige. Seeing as how competition drives markets to cheaper prices and better products, I can't complain. The whole contest seems somewhat absurd but it's good for the consumer.

yeah, i always have problems with too many mail characters in my games. ever since paper boy came out (probably the first game with a mail man) it's just been a non-stop craze. every game designer worth anything puts a mail person in the game.
(if you think i'm stupid, i'm just ragging on the guy's spelling. check it again to see.)
If you want to preserve the contents of the web for future generations (research, entertainment, whatever) then a huge, high power antenna should just broadcast non-stop internet.
This would serve two purposes: 1) Extra-terrestrial beings (assuming they have the technology and could decode it) could have a window into life on earth. 2) Whenever mankind figures out how to make wormholes or travel faster than light they could simply warp out to whenever they want info from and recover that day's web broadcast.
