Conspiracy Theory 101: Arms manufacturers started the World Wars to make money. I almost died laughing when my history teacher started talking about that conspiracy theory.

Bombs in the East Campus quad, right next to where I used to live (Glenn Hall)! Disturbing.

Read about Technological Singularities, it’s an interesting prediction.
I’m looking forward to taking CS4002
How ridiculous. Not to mention a massive waste of everyone’s time. And this “textbook” if this horrid thing can even be called that, who in their right mind thought this was worth even using as a resource? This abomination uses symbols with no references for just about everything. Ridiculous. Argh.
The Latest Java Release (Release 4) Makes Java 1.5 The Default Java, As Such, This Hack Is Obseleted. Run Software Update And Grab Any Java Updates To Get Java 1.5 As Your Default Java Compiler (And Runtime Java As Well). You Might Have To Run Mac OS X Update If It Shows Up First Before Java Updates Become Available To You.
It’s over! It’s over! The pain and suffering is…. gone…. at least for a few months.

There’s more, but that’s what I remember being on the TWENTY ONE page test. What made the test so bad is that a fourth or so of the test was the last few weeks of material - that we never did any homework on, let alone code anything. The book was also lacking in the code for the last few weeks of stuff. I took the WebCT survey for the extra point on our final grade, and told the professors they were horrible teachers, breakout was a waste of time, the homework was too GUI centric, and that the only redeeming thing about the course was the decent book we used. Thank God that shit is over for now.
I just stuffed five or six Crispy Cream donuts down my throat and it was awesome.

<rant>I thought it’d take a minute out of my busy writing session to complain about minimum page counts. Minimum page counts inspire BS, plain and simple. I’m writing a research proposal and I’ve written a fairly solid paper, but I’ve got to write another page (two paragraphs). I know one thing about these two paragraphs so far- they’ll be total fluff. They will add no value to the paper, they’ll probably even detract from flow the paper developed. What’s the point? It wastes both teacher and student’s time. </rant>
