You don't even have to go to a top notch university to get professors whose actual job is teaching. Ball State University is not the greatest college, but it isn't a research university and all of the classes are taught by REAL LIFE PROFESSORS. In my two years here so far I have had no classes taught by TA's. The class sizes are pretty small and all of the professors are required to have reasonable set office hours every week so that students can go and get help if they need it. I have never had a problem getting a hold of a professor if I needed it. That's not to say that I have liked all of my professors, but that's another store.:P
Well that's why you need the calculus. I like calculus, a lot. I almost switched to be a math major instad of CS. I liked linear algebra too. I can't wait to take numerical analysis. =p
Liposuction can be a dangerous procedure as well. I remember reading about a woman who got liposuction in Honolulu and during the procedure her intestine was punctured. She got really sick afterwards and she finally went to a doctor a few days to a week later and they discovered what had happenned but it was too late and she died.
If you want to loose weight, do it the right way, change your eating habits and go get some god damned exercise.
Exactly. Computers may not have improved our quality of living at home much, but lets look at what the computer has done for the economy, workplace, and efficiency in the workplace.
Workplace conditions are about as important as living conditions.
Sure Britney Spears and N'Sync have nothing insightful to say about the human experience, but last I checked, that wasn't a big requirement in the music industry. Their songs are catchy and you can sing along to them. If you don't enjoy that, then fine, but that doesn't necessarily mean it sucks ('sucks' is such an intellectual adjective). I don't listen to pop music because other people tell me to, I listen to it BECAUSE I CAN'T GET IT OUT OF MY HEAD.
Actually there was an article in the January 2001 issue of popular science that airships are making a comeback because the materials and fuel needed to run one are really cheap. Not to mention they can carry more weight, and if an engine dies, you don't go hurtling towards the ground to be killed in a giant explosion.:)
I could announce that I have developed a time machine that bakes pizza, makes pancakes, all while allowing you to travel 2 million years back in time and that wouldn't really make a difference unless I really had one and people would actually use it.
This learning software requires a lot of RAM and frankly, many people just don't have enough available to run this learning software at a decent speed.:P
Damnit! I have been caught on that one so many times. Usually I have pretty decent grammar, and I never use lamerspeak (u r cool hehe). For some reason, though, I just can't seem to ever get that word right. Excuse my stupidity. I am humbled.:P
It stopped bothering me after I found out that they are suppost to be there. And you're right, Sony's display devices have the highest quality available. I got a E100 (15 inch trinitron) for 200$ earlier this year and I couldn't be happier with it. And because it's only a 15 inch there is only one dmaper wire in it.;)
Besides, I'm poor and I wasn't about to pay 100$ more for an extra inch of viewing area.
But he has won a majority of the land area in the United States. Look at a map on who won each country and you'll see that most of the nation is red with the exception of the densely populated areas like chicago, LA, and New England. So why should someone whose supporters are mostly in the Urban areas rule everyone who isn't?
Like someone else said, Gore may have won the majority, but it was only within 0.3% which is within the margin of error. Without the electoral college, we would never have any real way of finding out who truly won. The election is so close than either candidate could have won based on many different little factors (cheating on both sides in any number of states). The electoral college is just allowing us to have a simpler way of choosing one over the other. Sorry it wasn't your candidate. If the positions were switched, you wouldn't be bitching.
Sad truth is that gays and lesbians vote mostly for Democratic candidates.
It's too bad most Americans are sheep for the top two parties. The news media fails to give much recognition to most third party candidates. They gave Nader some, but alas the Green Party is very niche. Same with the Reform Party and Pat Buchanan. They have limited apeal.
But explain this: Harry Browne was the only other candidate besides Bush and Gore to get onto the ballot in ALL 50 STATES. YET, I did not hear him mentioned on any major news station before the election ONCE. NOT A SINGLE TIME. The libertarian party is not a niche party either. They stand on a platform of more freedom from government control. Gay rights are not even an issue in a libertarian government. Other people have no right to tell you who you can and can't choose to be as your domestic partner. No one gets special rights (insurance cover, etc.) because they marry someone of the oppositte sex.
Any ways, almost no one voted for Harry Browne. Everyone is bitching about how Nader caused Gore the election. Too fucking bad. People saw Nader as their favorite candidate. For all the Democrats outraged by this, I submit to you 92 and 96 where Perot supposedly cost George Bush Sr. and Bob Dole the election in both races. And Perot got 19% and 8% respectively. Nader only got 2% to 3%.
I tried MSN Explorer and as far as I can tell their is no way to set your home page in it either. Granted I can always just use regular explorer as MSN Explorer is just a different interface for the web with MSN Messenger and media player integrated into it. I just wanted to try it out. I think it's good for inexperienced web users. It makes it pretty without them having to use AOL. But then of course they are exposed mostly to Microsoft content which is considered the bane of evil around these parts of the web. *shrug*
How does palm store it's drawings/writings? Can it store in a vector form so that it can be printed out in high quality or is it stored in a bitmap form?
After some long tetris sessions I seriously see tetris blocks falling in my head. If I play before I go to bed, that's all I think about while I'm trying to fall asleep. I don't know if my brain randomly picks blocks, or if I am choosing ones that will go into the slots nicely. But it can be pretty disturbing. There are worse things to dream about, I guess.
With the exception of one of my japanese classes (which was taught by a japanese graduate student), all of my classes have been taught by professors. And tuition is pretty cheap too (comparitively).
Trolling for Ball State! Or something.
And on the other hand, if you can get through a course by just reading the lecture notes and not showing up to class, why shouldn't you be able to? Obviously the in-class time really isn't that important, and you are still paying the tuition. It really upsets me when I go to class and the professor wastes my time. Ah well, I can always nap...
I'm confused, can people still actually connect to gnutella? I haven't been able to get on with any clone for a couple months now... toadnode doesnt work, gnotella doesn't work, gnutella 0.56 doesn't work. I tried putting in various hosts and none of them would connect.

Can you copy music to them digitally (faster than 1:1) or do you still have to record music to them using an audio cable and a line out?

You mistake immaturity for unintelligence. They don't go hand in hand.
People always think they are more mature than others their age, and it's usually a false pretense.

My minidisc player is still useful for recording mp3's to it. Although as soon as I get a cdburner, it won't be quite useful anymore.... :/

No, the sony VAIO Directwebsite says:
"Starts Selling September 25, 2000
Starts Shipping October 25, 2000"
Even the only picturebook was sold in the US, I played with one in the CompUSA in Honolulu.
