  1. Too much mathematics? on The Death Of CS In Education? · · Score: 0

    I have a question for those who are disappointed with the excess of mathematics and theoritical classes. Which university are you attending?

    Please do tell me, because the Informatique BS at the University of Sherbrooke has been extremely disappointing so far and I wouldn't mind having something more computer science-ish than what I am currently taking (I guess I can't really complain about the lack of computer science material, as the title of the program is "informatique" and not "science de l'informatique".

    Happiness doesn't buy money, and money doesn't buy happiness.

    So being able to pay for college/univ fees, a trip to Australia to learn english, a trip to China and martial arts classes wouldn't make me happier than sitting in my flat, wondering if I'll be able to pay for the next college term?

  8. Dear Consumers Union on Consumers Union Wants You to Share Your Story · · Score: 1, Funny

    Dear Sir/Madam,

    I am ABDULLAH ALI ABULLAH i am from the republic of YEMEN,but live and work in Egypt,i am the acountant general of Arab Bank plc,and i am on a special assignment to Nigeria-Arab Bank for one year,to run the audite programme.

    I have urgent and Very confidential business proposition for you.In august 29 1998, a Foreign Oil consultant/contractor with the Nigerian National petroleum Corporation, Mr.Barry Kelly made a numbered time (Fixed) Deposit for twelve calendar months, valued at US$20,000,000.00 (Twenty Million Dollars)this branch. Upon maturity, I sent a routine notification to his forwarding address but got no reply. After a month, I sent a reminder and finally I discovered from his contract employers, the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation that Mr. Barry Kelly died from an automobile accident.

    On further investigation, I found out that he died without making a WILL, and all attempts to trace his next of kin was fruitless. I therefore made further investigation and discovered that Mr. Barry Kelly did not declare any next of kin or relations in all his official documents, including his Bank Deposit paperwork in our Bank. This sum of US$20,000,000.00 has carefully been moved out of the bank to a security company for save keeping purpose . No one will ever come forward to claim it.
    According to Nigerian Law, at the expiration of 5 (five)years, the money will revert to the ownership of the Nigerian Government if nobody applies to claim the fund.

    Consequently, my proposal is that I will want you as a foreigner to stand as the next of kin. I am writing you because as a public servant (accountantwith the bank), I cannot operate a foreign account or have an account that is more than $1million. I therefore want to present you as the next of kin (the rightful owner of the fund) so that you can be able to claim it with the help of an accredited attorney. Finally, I urge you to provide immediately your full names, phone/fax numbers and your current mailing address so as to enable us commence the paperwork that will present you as the rightful beneficiary (nextof kin) of the fund. As soon as the money is ransferred to you 70% is for me while 20% is for you.then 10% will be set aside for any expences during the transaction.

    Please reply immediately via my Email address. Upon your response, I shall then provide you with more details that will help you understand this hitch free (risk free)transaction.

    Thanks and God bless.
