I installed... no wait, thats a lie, I tried to install SP2 RC2 a few weeks ago on my pretty damn new computer. It was clean as I ran AdAware daily and had the McAfee Virusscan shield thing running. Well, it failed while installing, so it automatically starting undoing its changes, unfortunately, around then it gave me a BSOD. Yeah.... I have not had a BSOD for months, and while installing SP2 RC2 I get a blue screen. Not only that, it apparently corrupted the drive headers and after running scandisk from a backup computer, I recovered only about 10 gigs of 60 gigs. I was really pissed at that, and I don't doubt that 3 of 5 computers don't come back up. Something's wrong with SP2, I don't know what, but I guess a bit of fault goes to me for trying to be bleeding edge. (I am also a 2-year server sysadmin in FreeBSD, bleeding edge is pretty tempting to me)
I took the AP Java A test on Tuesday. I don't know about you guys, but I thought it was extremely easy. Of course, the AB was rumoured to be much harder by my fellow classmates that had taken AP C++ AB last year. I missed out on AP C++ credits because at the time I was in 9th grade... I really don't see any freshmen in high school taking AP classes, do you?
Anyways, since I am a sophomore in high school this year, I still have two more years to take the AB exam on my own time. I think I will take it next year, but I know for sure I got a 5 this year. Better safe than sorry.

I would laugh my ass off if it ended up being $42. While we're on the subject, thats actually what I guessed, $25 open and $42 close.
