The idea's still there in the administration tho. It's the Faculty who need to quit being butthurt about it. Generalizing: Working with leading faculty is a bit like working with the 'always answers in snippits' students from highschool 40

Yeah, University employees are contractually held to a non-compete agreement which would prolly break down here when brought to general counsel. The grade distribution information is not considered restricted under any FERPA or other policy

Yup. Faculty don't like you pointing this out and actually complain loudly to the Provost level administration at a University when it is done so. Here's what happened to me a few years ago: I created a web app at the request of one of the

dunno about actual run-of-the-mill daily cycle but I've seen the reactor at K-State run a couple-dollar pulse. It looked about like this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mgNwtepP-6M For the day to day operation it just looked like a big po

I've done exactly this to moderate effect with "greenstuff" modeling epoxy. I use it in my other hobbies and had it on hand. It lacks the strength to really break multiple seals from some of the loctite's used in apple products. (related:

I don't mean to be snarky but how is rape/murder/theft threat different than your daily life? Someone is going to go overboard and sucker people vs randomly kidnap someone at a Wendys?

I need breaks from what I'm working on - and this site fills that need. There's only so much I will get done in a day and this unquenched optimism & productivity that is common here is simply not something I do. I end up thinking back t

I felt warm and fuzzy seeing @notch (minecraft) up there for a while as well. It's great seeing the indy developers support each other.

The gas gauge is just another 'idiot light' to me. It doesn't really tell me anything reliable but it does spur further action. Similar to how a maintenance required light lets me know I need to plug in the code reader and check it out. Whe

FWIW - the feds restructured how ethnicity is defined for the 2010 census. Now if you have multiple ethnicities you are reported as such - before it was only what you considered your primary race. This will balloon diversity figures in form

speaking for myself: 1. Shows my friends what I'm playing. This leads often to impromptu multiplayer in a diverse social group that never did so before. Fire up world of goo then get a couple of messages from friends who were 'away' a minut

I tried this when it made the HN rounds about a year ago. My results were over about three months and my primary reason was to assist treating moderate eczema. I stopped using all soap and shampoo and just stuck with hot-as-hell water. My s

Just a thought - I've worked with a legally blind woman for a few years. She uses a variety of magnifying gadgets and devices during meetings to read handouts or lunch menus. I think that the present gen tablets are coming very close to bei

I've not heard of anyone around these parts who are truly 9-5. We here in Kansas are 8-5 with a state enforced hour lunch break. We are not paid for the break.

Hitting still targets is easy. Consistently hitting the same spot on a still target is difficult. What I'm saying is I'm impressed we can hit anything! Think about the margins of error involved - how precisely do you have to know the Patrio

This still amazes me. Being able to detect, aim at and strike something flying at the speed of a rocket - with another rocket - in outer freaking space. Even the patriot missiles back in the early 90's always awed me. I have trouble hitting

Speaking as a fanboy: Reznor goes in reclusive phases. He'll be all over the net doing interviews and bitching on twitter one month then completely absent for 6. Just sorta what he does.

This is true - my boss has been pressuring me to do the legwork required to get at least a masters in stats or CS so I can carry a higher title in our institutional research department. Just for those outside of academia - state schools rea
