[2001-11-07 17:51:08] - last semester, each of my art classes had to turn away 30+ people who wanted to force add - wolf

[2001-11-07 17:50:08] - don't get me started on under-funded departments. - wolf

[2001-11-07 17:00:25] - this will all have to change on our move towards top 30 research status, since grad enrollment is supposed to increase and undergrad decrease. -jdb

[2001-11-07 16:57:58] - or so they said at the meeting in which the explained why we werent allowed to sign up for cs classes last semester.  apparently they requested more funding for a new teacher and they didnt get it, so they closed off classes and added caps.  -  aba

[2001-11-07 16:57:00] - it seems to me the dept is adequately funded. over in lane hall, i heard "don't let them see those post-it notes, we're not allowed to use them. they're too expensive." i bet that comment has never been made in mcbryde. i'm not sure how funding here works overall. -jdb

[2001-11-07 16:56:18] - the university refused to let the cs dept place caps on enrollment size until this year because it was such a profitable major.  -  aba

[2001-11-07 16:55:07] - perhaps if restrictions were as tight as engineering, the retention rate would be higher. some kids would still end up not liking the program and leaving, but there might not be as many kids failing out, etc. -jdb

[2001-11-07 16:53:31] - If things were run the Friedman way, they'd be much more efficient.  You'd end up with instructors getting pay proportional to their quality and demand. -logan

[2001-11-07 16:53:04] - The Dept. doesn't get funding proportional to the number of its students? -logan

[2001-11-07 16:52:41] - I agree.  And then they spend so much time and hassle making their lives miserable so they'll switch out of CS. -logan

[2001-11-07 16:46:35] - speaking of cs dept lack of funding -- why doesn't the cs dept just use some loganeconomics and not let  so many undergrads in? major is too big if ya ask me. :-) -jdb

[2001-11-07 16:46:34] - She seems to take pleasure with screwing people over with obscure policy. The best trick is to go behind her back. -logan

[2001-11-07 16:46:01] - jdb: She just likes to be a bitch. -logan

[2001-11-07 16:35:42] - it might have all been because she was mad at me for taking hci. "that's for our majors" i can't help they don't know how to place proper course restrictions. :-P -jdb

[2001-11-07 16:34:27] - i wasn't told "you should," i was told "you have to." this was even after i said "well, i'm not going to be in cs anymore." dr. shuetz was still trying to control my academic plan... even after that! (that is what prompted me to officially switch into idst) -jdb

[2001-11-07 16:06:13] - nobody ever told me i should graduate in 4 years.  you just have to not let them push you around :) -kris

[2001-11-07 16:05:09] - places like berkeley actually put a cap on the number of years you're allowed to be enrolled in a program. -jdb

[2001-11-07 16:04:46] - "firm" doesn't mean it happens much, of course.... but in theory... -jdb

[2001-11-07 16:04:20] - um, the cs dept is very firm about 4 years. shitz told me "josh, you have to graduate in 4 years."  the reason they're being such bastards about offering classes for cs minors is that they want to push their students along (and want more money, of course). -jdb

[2001-11-07 15:50:25] - on a somewhat unrelated note, when is it that we have to apply for the cs degree? - mig

[2001-11-07 15:43:32] - AOE requires 137 -cryptic

[2001-11-07 15:18:28] - I only know about computer science. -logan

[2001-11-07 15:16:03] - some majors require more than 120, don't they? - mig

[2001-11-07 15:09:50] - And that's not counting AP credit, credit by exam, etc. -logan

[2001-11-07 15:09:37] - 120 / 8 = 15 -logan

[2001-11-07 15:08:52] - and co-op people almost never graduate in 4 years. - mig

[2001-11-07 14:56:59] - we need to take 17-18 credits to graduate in 4 years.  -cryptic

[2001-11-07 14:56:12] - well, atleast not from this college -cryptic

[2001-11-07 14:56:00] - 15 credits a semester does not get you an aerospace engineering degree in four years -cryptic

[2001-11-07 14:31:03] - actually, it's seems to be more for slowing down all cs majors in general. - mig

[2001-11-07 14:28:52] - hmmm...t hat's odd, in my case, the school is trying to make sure i don't graduate on time . - mig

[2001-11-07 14:02:19] - i believe vt will implement some sort of project to push kids out faster within the next 5-10 years http://chronicle.com/free/v48/i11/11a02201.htm -jdb

[2001-11-07 13:45:22] - real life fight club http://www.sltrib.com/11072001/utah/146627.htm -jdb

[2001-11-07 12:23:52] - i would replace the word 'bait' with 'coerce' however. - mig

[2001-11-07 12:20:11] - You can't get certain forms of student aid at all if you're not registered, for instance. -logan

[2001-11-07 12:19:55] - He's talking about the "opportunities" to receive government subsidies, such as student loans, which they use as bait to get young men to sign up. -logan

[2001-11-07 12:19:26] - That's not the opportunities he's talking about. -logan

[2001-11-07 11:57:42] - yeah, missing out on killing people is such a sad thing.... everyone should register so they can kill people all over the world! -cryptic

[2001-11-07 11:57:05] - "It is tragic to see young men potentially missing out on future opportunities because they just don't know they are required to register," said Selective Service System Director Alfred Rascon.

[2001-11-06 22:01:04] - paul:  i would never regret going to tj.  if i hadnt i would be some english major who though a computer was a glorified paper weight.  i did really want to go to yale, but its really not that big of a deal in the long run.  -  aba

[2001-11-06 21:50:59] - aba:  it would matter more if tj ranked students but they don't because it would seriously fuck up a lot of students chances to get into some colleges. - mig

[2001-11-06 19:14:05] - we don't have magnet schools in nj as far as i know; just public, private and vocational ones. - wolf

[2001-11-06 18:53:16] - i can't complain as much as some people; columbia was just a crapshot for me and i got into the schools i really wanted to go to... it was just economic reasons that made me come to tech. - wolf

[2001-11-06 18:51:39] - three of us applied to columbia; there were kids at the interview session who were unbelievably stupid but attended rich suburban north jersey schools, and thus got in. - wolf

[2001-11-06 18:47:50] - i think the "quotas" are the real crippling factor.  i got into tufts but turned it down; a girl from my high school was livid because she wanted to go and she wasn't accepted (most likely) due to their quote. - wolf

[2001-11-06 18:11:05] - aba: I'm sorry to hear that. Did you really want to go to Yale and do you regret going to TJ? -paul

[2001-11-06 17:18:55] - paul:  its true.  i got deferred early from yale and then got rejected.  if i hadnt gone to tj like a whole bunch of the other applicants, i probably would have been able to get in, but they tend to limit the number of tj people to around 5.  -  aba

[2001-11-01 13:25:23] - their assumption that one dialing a phone # constitutes as a "performance" is just laughable. - mig

[2001-11-01 13:16:00] - http://www.magnus-opus.com/index1.html here's the idiots website.  their rational is based on a flawed understanding about how copyright works. - mig

[2001-10-31 11:23:53] - i haven't been able to connect to morhpeus since i've gotten here. - wolf

[2001-10-31 11:11:12] - except in this case, they apparently cut off the bandwidth completely. - mig

[2001-10-31 11:10:02] - mig: That's how they implement QoS. -logan

[2001-10-31 11:09:01] - actually, that doesn't surprise me.  kazaa is set to a specific port, so all they need to do is just block that port, and since it's not changeable by the software, you're fucked. - mig

[2001-10-31 10:31:51] - yup. of course, i read that a good month or two ago (it could be working again). other than kazaa, i've only heard of qos policies. -jdb

[2001-10-31 10:28:14] - They "quashed" that? -logan

[2001-10-31 10:26:38] - mig: yes, kazaa. -jdb

[2001-10-31 10:25:17] - Basically they look the other way as much as possible.  It's not worth the trouble to try and "quash" anything. -logan

[2001-10-31 10:24:41] - In which case they handle it as a violation of acceptable use policy, I believe. -logan

[2001-10-31 10:24:24] - But in general CNS does nothing unless someone complains about a specific student. -logan

[2001-10-31 10:23:59] - CNS implemented QOS, which limits the amount of bandwidth that might be consumed by, say, Napster.  That was a couple of years ago. -logan

[2001-10-31 10:21:29] - http://www.openp2p.com/lpt/a//p2p/2001/10/29/oram_speech.html has vt been quashing any p2p programs? - mig

[2001-10-30 15:33:35] - which is why i'm still puzzled would-be censors still try to use it.  it's been showed as flawed in court cases before, why do they think it'll work now? - mig

[2001-10-30 15:28:04] - mig: The argument is flawed because of a lack of evidence. -logan

[2001-10-30 15:11:31] - i really wish people would come up with better arguemnts.  this "gateway" thing is getting rather old. - mig

[2001-10-30 15:09:02] - so, yes.  it is an attempt to rout out "evil" behavior. - mig

[2001-10-30 15:08:52] - Others claim that it is a release, reducing the drive for real child molestation. :P -logan

[2001-10-30 15:08:16] - people claim it's a "gateway" for potential child molestor/real kiddie porn. - mig

[2001-10-30 15:03:56] - computer-generated porn would be easier to make than real porn, so wouldn't it cut down on real kiddie porn being made? - wolf

[2001-10-30 15:03:02] - computer-generated kiddie porn doesn't hurt anyone.  real children generally aren't sexually or emotionally mature to understand what they'd be asked to do.  strictly speaking, this just looks like another attempt to rid the country of "evil" sexual deviancy. - wolf

[2001-10-30 14:37:17] - Lack of enforcement, probably. -logan

[2001-10-30 14:30:08] - i wonder how hentai gets around these laws... - mig

[2001-10-30 14:26:11] - Maybe it came before the bill in question. -logan
