Yea... a new innovation in robotics at UGA! Hah! What a joke! Actually, I'm friends with one of the students working on this project, and yea, it's really cool if you can get a hold of a video of it in action./me is posting from the GT Library, working late hours... again. As much as I love this school, I freakin hate it.
On 11/11/11 (noone actually writes dates one-digit-at-a-time anymore anyways), at 11:11:11.
You can actually have a hole date/time stamp without using anything but the digit 1.
Here's my problem: I have the same symptoms as you. Almost to a T. I can't concentrate and do homework. It's obvious. Look at any class where work (not just test scores) is part of the equation, and I do worse. I'm plenty intelligent, tons of test scores prove that. But I just can't focus. I'll lose track of a conversation with my girlfriend (that doesn't end well, trust me) just because I notice something out of the corner of my eye. I'm not wild... at all.
The thing is though, everyone says I'm just absent-minded, that I need to organize myself better. I need to "work harder". Trust me, if lack of motivation and drive was the issue, I would've done that project that was 15% of my grade and could NOT be turned in late, no exceptions, instead of completely forgetting it existed until class started, even though I wrote it on my hand at the beginning of the weekend.
Either way, my parents don't believe in the whole "ADD" thing, so I never got diagnosed, and well.. who knows if I do or don't. I don't really know where I'm going with this, I guess I just wanted to get it out there. (I'm about to be a freshman at GT)
Umm.. noone is pointing this out, but isn't stem cell research done on the left-over embryos from in-vitro fertilization that would have just been discarded anyways? Not on abortion leftovers. So why are we talking about abortion again? Much as the right would have you believe, this issue and the abortion issue aren't related, and those of us who support SCR don't have to defend it on the grounds of abortion.
Exactly. It's like calling the fire department and telling them that your competitor's store isn't following the fire code. They have to go look, and then when they find a problem, they have to shut it down. It might suck, but that's how it is.
You are aware, aren't you, that Mike Hunt is a joke name? Like Mike Hawk, Dick Hertz, Ben Dover? Read it out loud, laugh a little, and then you can do some more snooping to see that the address and phone number are fake too.
I hate to be a PC Fanboy, as I'm planning on buying a Macbook this summer (I just love that OSX), but seriously dude, if you get the same specs as a macbook at dell, and then use a coupon or deal code (there are tons of them everywhere!), it's hundreds upon hundreds cheaper and better spec-ed than a macbook.
What are the chances that this guy just did something against the Chinese Government's wishes, and so they faked this whole scandal. I mean, TFA makes it seem like the Government is in this a lot more than the blurb makes it seem so.
Meh, maybe I'm just too paranoid. Anyone know more about this? Is that a possibility?
That game rocked. You could duck, move from side to side, shoot, it was pretty cool. The AI wasn't amazing and the motion sensors could be improved, but the thing came out 6 years ago, and I haven't seen anything like it recently. Also no mention of it, or its boxing counterpart in the article.
The depth of a search engine is *not* so that you have tons of results for a single search term, and therefore a wealth of knowledge. The depth is so that on a very specialized search, you find exactly what you need. Those results in the far-back pages are not necessary to someone who needs something from the first 3 pages, whereas they may come to be necessary later, when they come onto the first page due to being more relevent to what the searcher needs.
In fact, I think the fact that people find what they need in the first couple pages is actually a testament to how good search engines are nowadays.
Now to DIY, this *is* Slashdot after all, get yourself a domain and some hosting (if you already have one, you're ahead of the curve). Then, create a catch-all that will forward anything@yourdomain.com to yourrealaddress@yourdomain.com . When you sign up for a new message board, mbname@yourdomain.com . For some mailing list, listname@yourdomain.com.
Now, when you start getting spam to an email address, you'll see that it is to a certain address. If it's to listname, you know that mailing list has either sold your address or gotten it stolen, and you go into your hosting account create an alias for listname@yourdomain.com routing to:NULL:, or whatever your hosting provider suggests as a blackhole.
Hope that helps!
Do you generally look at where the college they came from is? Not to badmouth certain colleges, but a 4.0 at some colleges requires less work than a 2.8 at Georgia Tech.
Bullshit about the sports games. I keep hearing people saying this, yet I can't agree. Every year, the AI gets so much better, the ability to play more realistically gets much better, playcalling gets better, and the ability to change things on the fly gets better. I'm afraid of this stopping now that EA has exclusive rights on almost every sport, but sports games HAVE gotten much better over the past 5-6 years, and it hasn't been just graphics.

Lots of my friends and people who I've heard from have won from Blingo. No spyware, not too many adds. Just a google search with a win every so often.
Seems to work for them.
I can't tell you how many times parents and relatives have come to me saying that the computer has a problem and won't do something they want it to do. When I come to check it out, 50% of the time, whenever they try to do whatever it is, an error message comes up that explains the exact nature of the problem and how to fix it.:-x
4.99 a month unlimited WAP access. They block some ports so that you don't hook it up to your laptop and get free internet, but I constantly go to google to look stuff up (google can search regular internet and convert the pages to format for wap). I get directions, weather, news, sports, and email online. All for pretty much pennies.:)
I spent hours and hours and days slaving away trying to get wifi to work on my 166 laptop. I tried debian, I tried a thin version of slack, I tried a thin fork of redhat, all with ndiswrapper and any other thing that could help, and nothing. I spent hours upon hours in #ndiswrapper (don't remember exact channel name) as well as in the particular distro channels, with devs trying to help me out, and god bless em, without em I would just be completely stuck. Recompiled, recompiled, and recompiled again, for nothing. No matter what I did, wifi would either not work at all, or freeze the PC.
What worked? Windows 2000. It runs fine, word processes fine, browses fine, hell, even streams music perfectly on my 166mhz beast of a laptop. (those integrated speakers blow the pants off of powerbooks!). Hate to say it folks, but windows bested linux for that purpose.
Well... aside from the obvious joke answer, I wouldn't have finished nearly as many projects as I have, spent much more time watching TV, and generally not worked as much as I have without IRC.
Sure, I guess that makes me a nerd, but honestly, the type of community you can find on *certain* IRC channels (I'm hoping you know the type I'm talking about, I don't mean all the crappy warez channels and random chat channels) is about as helpful as anything else out there. I can almost always find my answer, regarding almost anything.

Actually, you can get a literature degree at Georgia Tech. LCC - Literature, Communication and Culture.

The address and phone number are fake too. There is no main street in Belleville, Ontario.

It's also a great book by Dave Barry. I suggest you read it!

Well it *is* part of Microsoft's "Live" online suite. That includes all their online stuff, email accounts, etc.

I just finished my Tulane Application... all of 5 ours ago. Requested Major: Computer Science. :-x
Not that it matters anyways, I'm probably going to Georgia Tech. But damn, what of the timing!
Bullshit.

New acheivement. Thompson got kicked out of court by the guy who put a couple tons of Ten Commandments in the court.
