You may want to check with some of your teachers about using anything more advanced than TI-83+. Higher calculators have factoring, differentiation and the like functions built in so they can be banned for use in classes where you learn these concepts. Just a thought.
You haven't limited in anyway YOUR information, because you posted it on a public site. (Yes, I could get on there too, as my college provides me with an email address still).
Yes, but you would only be able to see people profiles from your college (or network or whatever the hell). And even then you can make it so that your profile is only seen by those people that are your friends.
I had LASIK done just under a year ago and couldn't be happier. I had it done in Madison by Dr. Probst (sp?). Apparently he helped invent alot of the equipment that is used (while in the waiting room, I noticed framed books on the wall written by him entitle ("Advanced Concepts in Laser Surgery", etc. so that made me feel a lot more at ease). Naturally having him do the procedure was expensive (I think it was around 4,000 and my eyes weren't all that bad), but when you're talking about your vision, you can only be so frugal. Anyway, I had a newish procedure done where a laser was used to make the flap instead of a thin blade. This helps with healing time and was able to play softball and pickup basketball within a week and a half or so. Maybe it was twice that, I am not very sure. Either way it didn't take long to heal and would highly recommend having it done that way.
P.S. Definitely weird to sit there in the chair focusing on this little red dot and then you can suddenly start to smell your own flesh burning.
How much of a quality difference are people going to be able to notice over conventional DVD? I know I can't be the only one who doesn't have a HD monitor.
I go to a school that "gives" you a laptop at your orientation. I think its hilarious to sit in the back during class and look at everyone else's screens. You can see everything from legitimate notes (always your token 1 or 2) to playing NES via emulator or Yahoo pool with the person next to them. I will admit, during classes I don't feel like paying attention to, I will open up the laptop and get lost in some instant messenger convos or anything else. Though profs aren't quite as nieve about the situation anymore. I have some profs that wont let you use your laptop for notes, though these are mostly in my math classes where it isn't as easy to take good notes by typing unless you are an ace at LaTex. My point is that I used to take notes on my laptop my freshman year, but have since moved away from it. It just seems easier to go back and look through notebook paper than sift through word documents.
When I was a tech coordinator in a small high school we qualified for free copies (I believe we were able to get 100 licenses) of Windows 2000. Just have to know how to beg.
What's actually funny (ironic, maybe ha-ha, too) is these sales, assuming the sales actually go through, will enable people to profit at Microsoft's expense. When was the last time you did that?
Last year the regular old Xbox was selling for 250-300 on ebay, while you could pick one up at Walmart fo $149.99 (and that included Top-Spin and NCAA Football 2005). They were out for a long time before that too. I ended up making over $800 for that Christmas:)
I don't think the mobility is necessary in middle/high school for a student to need a laptop. A desktop machine would work just fine. Most high school students either do their homework (that require computers) at school, where computers are normally provided, or at home.
College students are a different story. I go to a college that requires us to purchase a laptop through the school. I see people all time working on papers or research in the caf or outside, on nice days. It's also nice that if something goes wrong, I can take it in, get the hard drive wiped and get a fresh image, or get my wireless card replaced with a fairly short turnaround and no cost (as long as the damage isn't intentional). On the other hand, laptops + access points in boring class = poor grades, but the classes seem to go by a lot faster.

I'm sure there are also people who downloaded it for nothing just to see if it wasn't all just bullhonkey.
Indeed. http://www.dwsimpson.com/salary.html/
Well that was an "Abnormally Cruel" comment... :)
Whoa whoa whoa, I'm going to need a Zach Morris timeout on this one. Mirrored sunglasses went out of style?!?

They needed a physicist to figure out the last time that happened?? Couldnt most first year CS majors write a program to calculate this??
Does MythTV work with digital cable boxes? IE is it possible to record movies from premium channels??
You saw how bad Newman flipped out on Kramer for trying that didn't you??

works good with anti-inflams too.
...would be cake!

Correct me if I am wrong, but wouldn't you enter this if statement no matter what?
I know this sounds like a troll, but would this be able to run Linux, *BSD, or any other x86 OS instead of windows? Just wondering...
Or an even cheaper (as in free) solution... http://www.feyrer.de/g4u/
