The first thing I do when I find a USB stick is to plug it in and open up documents to see who's it is. I mostly find them around campus, so a name on a paper lets me do a school directory look up. Shame to think I could get a virus from trying to help someone out, good idea and interesting application of USB sticks.
This makes me feel warm and fuzzy inside. I rarely meet a fellow student majoring in CS who actually understand and enjoys CS. More often then not I talk to undergrads who don't like CS and are just in it because of some dot-com fantasy.
I feel that we are in a period of refinement before another age of massive innovation. The rest of us are refining while a few are working on a big ideas.
They where paying students $25 to test this thing out at the library. The thing is pretty easy to take and only took about and hour and a half. Most of it was being able to search the web, the library, and online journals. The most interesting part was testing to see if you could select good sources of information.
My problem with the test was that the examples and environments seemed very dated. The interfaces didn't seem like something you would find in the real world. The interfaces were a lot different then what I use to research.
Google is now linking to answers.com for defining terms. Answers.com uses Wikipedia as part of it's search results. The bandwidth for answers.com is going up and therefore Wikipedia's bandwidth is likely to go up. Google is just trying to protect it's investment and get some cool points along the way.
Students shouldn't be rated on a test that doesn't mean anything to them. In my experience, my fellow classmates never cared about testing that wasn't for a grade. Fill in the bubbles turned into, who could make the best picture. The only time they did care about is when they were offered college money for doing well.
Take a two week vacation and come back to a message saying something like, "So I guess your not going to work here anymore, come get your last paycheck." It worked for me, it should work for you!
P.S.
I did let the mean old lady know I was going on vacation, she just forgot.
My friends and I go hiking on Mnt. Wilson all the time. We park by the big radio/tv/whatever towers. There are signs posted all over warning of high amounts of interference in the air. The remote entry never works there, we just lock it with the key. The remote entrys except interference because that is what they are made to do.
I had mine disconnected for a while and I slowly lost programing I paid for. I ended up having to call tech support, they said that it needed to be connected to verify the card was still in use.

Good catch

That is a great idea! I'll have to try that, thanks for the tip.
They should do what Apple did! Spend years building a custom OS to sell music on.
I guess this Internet thing is getting big

I hope to be the first, and I know I'm not the last. IRC is GREAT for talking to people. The best Linux help I've gotten is from IRC

Hang sheets of lead on the walls. Should block out most things.
I hate paying the Ticket master "tax". They add way too much to the already expensive tickets.
Only one type of DRM to defeat instead of many!

I count only $600 in the pictures. Either he can't count or there is $400 in bills that arn't damaged. What happened to those 20 extra bills?
