Being a dorm rat, I can say that I have a large group of friends, including myself, who stay in the dorm becuase of the network. It's a lot easier to play games// connect to servers from the dorms. With this restriction on P2P applications, they'll push out the students stay in the dorms there for the high speed connection.
I wonder if the system releases only one pattern that the weather will follow or if it returns many different ways that the weather could go. From what I've heard previously about hurricanes, they have the tendancy to change paths when they feel like it - would the machine give more than just one pattern that the hurricane could take or do you think that it gives what it has discovered is the best answer?
So, if my University gave me software I'd be a much happier person...
But no, here in the world of a college student, we have to pay for our software. Yes, we get it at a (slightly) discounted price from the computer store, but it's still a good sized chuck out of the wallet to buy.
So, where is this university giving their students these programs? can I enroll for a semester?

I'm actually on warfarin, which works pretty well.... Then again, my clot is behind my knee so I don't think I would notice if it swelled - I have more of a problem with my lungs right now.
I understand that it is a machine to machine language, yes, but I still see it causing problems with compatiblity and such, which was my point in the first place. I guess being around older professors who refuse to upgrade from windows 95 makes me worry about the possible headaches.
And if he pulls it off, the limelight-shy inventor could remake cyberspace all over again.
I have to wonder what problems completely overhauling the internet would cause. Browsers would have to be updated to not only accept the new languages but also work with the older languages that long-time web programers refuse to give up. Then most the average computer users would be confused as to why their older browsers don't work with the "new web" and tech support will be tearing their hair out to fix all the problems.
I'm sure that there are wonderful things that this "new web" can accomplish, but I see the downside outweighing the upside.
They were giving me Lovenox while I was in the hospital (thread farther down) - bruised my stomach something awful. I get my INR checked bi-weekly right now... (meh. needles. ick)
You'd be amazed how embarassing it is to have to stand up and walk around in the middle of a college class - yeah, it does suck.
This is the second Article which has come out since I went into the hospital with DVT and Pulmonary Emboli. I was admitted January the 9th and they didn't release me until the 17th when my INR (the rate at which blood coagulates) was between 2.0 and 3.0 - the average person's INR is 1.0.
I'm now taking warfarin, a generic version of Coumadin, a blood thinner and I have to wear circulation tights for six months.
What's interesting is the blood clots didn't go diagnosed for about 2 months. Why?
Well, most people don't expect 19 year old girls to have DVT.
Despite my age, the fact I'm a non-smoker, a moderate drinker, anti-drug and decently healthy, I now am attempting to irraticate a large blood clot behind my left knee. One of two factors could be the reason for my condition - a medication I was taking or the fact I sit around in front of a computer for hours on end. I suppose I should have taken a break when doing my late night CS homework or wandered down the hall at work (I work as a Helpdesk Phone Tech), but hindsight is 20/20.
If it happened to me, I suppose it could happen to anyone. I'm going to take a walk down the hall to find coffee and stretch my legs. Be sure to take a break people.

And, really, the showers aren't that bad.

Why is it that when I read this article I thought "man creates great organism, great organism is too great, great organism kills man?"
Maybe it's just the product of too many science fiction movies.

I was attempting to make a joke.... As in, "volvos are cool.... suuuuureee...." but I don't think it's gone across well.
Eh. I suppose my humor only makes sense to me.
... I think Volvo.
(Sure, I drove a Saab for years, but I thought it had to be said)
Don't date the guy you meet your Senior Year of High School. He's so not worth it.

Is 10 Coumadin two or three times what most people have? I'm on 8mg a day... I really didn't think it was that much.
