  3. Re:WIDE open to abuse on Trepia: A Buddy List Of Strangers · · Score: 1

    that doesn't mean that 12 year olds won't select that they are 16 and place their real age somewhere else. Look at an online "dating" site - about 40% of the "18" year olds are really 16 year olds that couldn't select a younger age, but somewhere in their profile it will say that they are a soph in high school or it will state their real age.

    I use a mac, and therefore have no idea how this program works, so the above may be completely unfeasible; if so, please ignore me.

    bah

    just get a tape recorder, then you can nap more thoroughly - get relevant diagrams from the text. Then, back to playing Warcraft 3.

    Don't forget Biology classes, there are tons of girls in Biology for some reason, very unusual for a science - but I'm not complaining.

    Besides, all freshman/intro level classes will have an even distribution, because in a lot of cases, everyone will be required to take theose classes to fill core requirements.

    not just any alarm clock -- a LOUD one. I can't tell you how many times I've slept through my alarm. You've got to get one that is so loud it wakes everyone in your dorm up, then you can be sure you will make it to class.

    I made this for those less-than-mature moments on Fark.com, but I think it applies in this thread...

    old news, someone solved that.
    the inventor had to sell his house to pay the million pounds.

    unless I am thinking of a different puzzle...in which case, I would be wrong.

    wasn't Gnutella also originally a nullsoft idea?

  14. Re:Door closer seems a little off base on Office-Hour Habits of the North American Professor · · Score: 1

    I agree with this.

    If you want to see a professor, and it is during their office hours, it is safe to assume, regardless of the status of their door, that they are present within their office. Besides, whats the harm in knocking?

    Most of them tell you when/where you can find them if you email them ahead of time too....

    Except Dr. O - my Biology advisor... couldn't find that guy - ever.

  15. Re:That door-closer... on Office-Hour Habits of the North American Professor · · Score: 1

    Olin College does something similar to that - they hire professors on 5-year contracts, after five years, they would be reviewed, and some administrative board of some sort decides if they want to offer them an extension.

    This of course is only what I understand of that situation. As I am not a student, nor a faculty member at that school. Although I did take a class this past fall on their campus.

  16. Re:Best line on Lowest Raw Score Ever on the SAT · · Score: 1

    he would bring a calculator so that he could determine the correct answers and b sure not to choose them, silly. If you want a zero you gotta work for it, blindly guessing still gives you a 25% predicted success rate - thats for chumps, this guy was going for the gold!

    Its true. He won't be able to pull off anything like what the "big boys" use - not that Linux couldn't... it just won't, not for him, real firms spend millions creating systems to handle their trading, they pay craploads for realtime quotes from the markets themselves, they don't trade electronically through a broker... THEY ARE A BROKER... etc.

    Then again, if the dude wants to play... let him play.

    So, would you say that the Internet was therapeutic?

    I find the internet to be the bain of my existence, personally. Its like a magnet, draws me away from work. I am 100% less productive because of it.

    and I blame most of that on FARK.com

    damn you drew curtis.

  20. Re:Its about farking time! on Apple Introduces iTunes Music Store, iTunes 4, new iPod · · Score: 1

    Up to 3 macs can download purchased songs from the same account.

    A playlist can be burned up to 10 times, but if you change it, even by one track it should be burnable again. You might even be able to change it, then change it back and burn the original list another 10 times if you want to defeat the system.
