Replying to Etheral
Well I think astronauts aren't heroes but I think they should receive some attention. I mean after all they have to go through all that hard work in training and stuff, right? You do need to quite a bit to be able to propel that space shuttle. But yeah CNN is retarded. Connie Chung sucks some big space monkey goat balls. However they do have a news anchor named Miles O'Brien... but I guess that's the only good thing about CNN.
However, the main issue here I think is the accident. It's an absolute total disgrace to the human race. This is year 2003 and Did you know that the space shuttle is using 1970s-1980s computer technology for navigation and such? Honestly, I bet their computer has something like 32Kb of RAM. I don't understand why NASA isn't researching or even testing out new ships. Maybe this accident will finally tell how shitty their current space shuttle is. I mean, come on... just because the cold war is over doesn't mean you should stop funding the space program. NASA please wake up.

CNN is retarded
In fact, the media is retarded. They've been covering this shuttle story for about a week now, jeesus, it's only 7 people, hundreds of thousands of people have died within the last week and they media doesn't care about them, which begs the question: Are they receiving so much attention because they are astronauts, are they receiving so much attention because they are American, or are they receiving so much attention because 7 people died? I think soldiers are more heroic than Astronauts (yet a dead soldier doesn't receive so much attention), if it's because of life, then 7 kids dying in an avalance is pretty tragic as well, if it's because there american, then fuck them. Tragic yes, Heroes that all of mankind owes a debt to, no fuckin way. The Toronto Star said that btw, they had a headline that read "All of mankind owes a debt to the 7 astronauts" or something similar to that. Anyways, I read on CNN today that some North Korean spy was caught by the FBI. In order to make him look bad, they said "On their return to Los Angeles International Airport, the couple declared they were not carrying more than $10,000. A search revealed they were carrying $18,179, prosecutors say. Sums of more than $10,000 must be reported to U.S. Customs officials upon entry into the country." WHO THE HELL CARES!! I bet stupid Colin Powell does that all the time!
Anyways, what's the "werd" on this Saturday (ah ha ha, I was being black), last I heard Dave's thing is at around 11:30 or so (lunch) and then pool after, and Randy's thing is in the evening, should be a blast.

Guess this one.
These lyrics have been stuck in my head for quite a while. I'd like you to tell me where these lyrics are from.
Scratch underneath the surface, where does your purpose lie?
It seems our world is worthless, like we're pawns beneath the sky
Change the race by reason, and ashes just the wind
The left is so our we're breathin, keep ourself from givin in
I'll give you a prize if you know the answer. (There should be two songs. Hint: one is from a pretty new drum and bass tune.)

Mail Bag!
I know it's been awhile since i've posted, but this time i'll hit you with a double whammy! Yes i've recently recieve some interesting email from Zouk. And i felt that things of this utmost importance should be put on polaris. The following demonstrates true intelligence and something that we should all aspire to be.
The following is an actual question given on a University of Washington chemistry mid-term. The answer by one student was so "profound" that the professor shared it with colleagues, via the Internet, which is, of course, why we now have the pleasure of enjoying it as well. Bonus Question: Is Hell exothermic (gives off heat) or endothermic (absorbs heat)?
Most of the students wrote proofs of their beliefs using Boyle's Law, (gas cools off when it expands and heats up when it is compressed) or some variant. One student, however, wrote the following:
"First, we need to know how the mass of Hell is changing in time. So we need to know the rate that souls are moving into Hell and the rate they are leaving. I think that we can safely assume that once a soul gets to Hell, it will not leave. Therefore, no souls are leaving.
"As for how many souls are entering Hell, let's look at the different religions that exist in the world today. Some of these religions state that if you are not a member of their religion, you will go to Hell. Since there are more than one of these religions and since people do not belong to more than one religion, we can project that all souls go to Hell. With birth and death rates as they are, we can expect the number of souls in Hell to increase exponentially.
"Now, we look at the rate of change of the volume in Hell because Boyle's Law states that in order for the temperature and pressure in Hell to stay the same, the volume of Hell has to expand proportionately as souls are added. This gives two possibilities:
1. If Hell is expanding at a slower rate than the rate at which souls enter Hell, then the temperature and pressure in Hell will increase until all Hell breaks loose.
2. If Hell is expanding at a rate faster than the increase of souls in Hell, then the temperature and pressure will drop until Hell freezes over.
"So which is it? If we accept the postulate given to me by Teresa during my Freshman year, "...that it will be a cold day in Hell before I sleep with you", and take into account the fact that I still have not succeeded in having sexual relations with her, then #2 cannot be true, and thus I am sure that Hell is exothermic and will not freeze."
The student received the only "A" given.
Gold! pure gold. I'm no chemist, but as a mathie, i can give that proof a thumbs up. I've also come across some interesting reading here. Involving David Schimmer, Tony Danza, Christina Applegate and Wil Wheaton. (Curousity of Wilwheaton.net and Fark.com) Now if that show isn't a bag of laughs, i don't know what would be. The weird part about this is, i think sandy could have easily written this.

Pinball
I don't understand pinball, aside from the keeping the ball out of the giant hole in the bottom, what else is there to it? I was playing the pinball included on XP and they were giving me objectives and stuff. I really didn't understand how makiing a ball go through a certian ramp or hitting a certain target was a close representation to fullinng a misson. It doesn't make any sense. If pinball is ol' skool, than that must have been before the desk was invented.
School a bitch yadda yadda , i'm suffering, etc etc. Nothing new.
I think Liston might be the only person who might have it worse than me right now. AI, OS, Data structs and complier? Ring that bell, queue the fat lady because this contest is over! Liston, Good luck, your hardcore and my hero. To you I present a tribute
In my lin alg class strange things have been occuring, everytime this one girl asks a question, a weird inexplicable noise will occur. On last friday, it was the RadioShack enterance bell. Today someone yelled out bingo. I'm betting it's a mooing cow tomorrow.
Cove night is wednesday and on that day i will say fuck you to work and put in some solid gamming. I really need to get out, i think i might be turning into nosforatu, without the bloodsucking. So basically i think i'm pale (aka the white man's disease). That reminds me, to all those with a GBA, did you see the latest game selection, well i did! Let's just say i had to advert my eyes to protect my pockets.
Alyssa has been searching for pictures of andrew chen, weird. Apparently somebody told her he was some kind of underwear model now. Errie isn't it?
Is it wrong to think that this is sexy? I think not! 17 inches of visual stunning pleasure! and Get your mind out of the gutter!
Knobody! where are you? i need to talk to you on icq, been having a strange hankering to listen to reggae and i need to send me just a small set of songs
weird isn't it?
Remember Kiddies, Klingon function calls do not have 'parameters' - they have 'arguments'

Moo like a cow
Moo!!! I mean Master of Orion 2. I finally installed this freakin old game because I really was bored. This game was so old that my saved game's date reads "Feb 01, 103". Ya man, 103 AD =]
But man was it addictive. I got totally rocked twice yesterday, the first game being humans and I had no idea what to build so obvioulsy got owned. Second game I expanded like nuts with Trillarians but got totally owned because I researched the wrong stuff and messed with the wrong guy. Doh. Anyhow, this game really is pretty hype and all I have to say is I can't wait till Moo3 comes out. This game's gonna be running tings.
