You would inform your son of his grandmother's death through e-mail?
Realistically, how personal are your e-mails? I send/receive about 20 e-mails a day, and theyre mostly just stuff dealing with school/work, or just jokes... I mean, if you really have something personal to send someone, why e-mail them? Maybe I'm weird, but I'd rather talk to someone on the phone anyway, if I have something personal to discuss.
Well, renaming the variables to longer and more meaningful names wouldn't make the final executable any bigger. when code is compiled, all comments are removed and variable names are trimmed down.
I agree that the schools here in the US don't teach enough math and science (atleast the college I attend, University of Illinois at Chicago). As a Computer Science major, I have to take 36 (out of 128 total) hours of social science and humanities classes. These classes include: Sociology, Pysch, Poli Sci, Geography, etc.... Most engineering majors have to take less than half this amount (and instead take more math/science).
Whats the point of taking so many social science/humanities classes, when all I do is study the night before the exam, or start the papers 6 hours before theyre due? I've even stopped buying the books to these classes, cause its a waste!
These classes take away more valuable math/science classes. I think I'd be better off if I took Physics instead of Poli Sci 101, or if I took an Advanced math class instead of Geography 100.

i'm selling my car and building a beowulf cluster of mini macs... i'm gonna put it in my shed out back and call it "the apple tree" mmmmmmmm
