I'll amend my statement: should they choose to contribute. It'd be one thing if she was chastising us for actively withholding commentary, but people actually speak up well and often in that class, and yet she wants us to evaluate what we're doing wrong, as if we don't know how class discussions work.
Clockwork Universe - damn you. Now I want to go out to my local store and figure out the ratio of space taken up by books/music/toys/games/cafe/music/nook crap.
My local Barnes & Noble is still mostly books. There are other things, though.
@Alex: All the swords? Including Vibroswords from BattleTech?
Depends if they fit the technical requirements of a sword or whether they're merely sword-shaped weapons.
/pedantry
They're swords that vibrate and you can stick them on mechs. That good enough for you?
Blagh. That's the same thing as the progressive knives of EVA.
So, Die Welle (The Wave) is a pretty entertaining. Social sciences would be much cooler (and Dr Mengele levels of unethical) if they did that kind of experiments more often.
Ted was OK too, I guess.
I forget. Was The Third Wave experiment performed with the consent of the involved? The scale makes me want to say "no" but still.
Also I accidentally cleared my 21645 notifications. Not yay.
I did that exact same thing. It sucks :<
^^^ Given the nature of the experiment, I don't think so. That's the problem with social experiments in general.
why do you people care about notifications
i feel like i'm missing something here
^Yeah, I somehow can't imagine collecting all those signatures being something a social psychologist would prioritize unless they're tied by those silly "morals" and "ethics" all the new kids in the block are talking about these days.
Oh, by the way, it's time to slam now, IJBM:
*rolls injured b-baller out on a stretcher*
Are you going to slam or will she have to?
What was the job, again? It seemed sort of vague when you told us about it the other time.
So I'm looking for a new computer, one that has good performance, and is a good gaming comp. What would you guys recommend? Or at least, what parts would you recommend that computer has?
^Desk or laptop?
Laptop.
Is it important for you to play newer games with high detail and good performance? Also, what's the rough amount of cash you're willing to spend?
Not that important really. Hmm, what processors and graphics cards would you guys recommend?
Eh, about $1,000.
Here's the laptop I'm using.
2nd gen i7 with an NVIDIA GT 555M graphics card for $900, can play all but a handful of notoriously machine intensive games on high settings with ease. I got it for a good $150 less on Black Friday if you're willing to wait till then.
EDIT: There's also a similar one on Lenovo's site that has the same specs but uses an i5 processor for $650.
^ Looks really good. Seconding that suggestion.
Also, if you decide to search for more stuff that looks potentially good, steer clear from AMD processors if you wish to hold the laptop in your lap without accompanying first-degree burns and aren't interested in using your computer as a food heater.
If you can deal with the fact that text and other things will be small, a lenovo Y580 with the 1080p screen. It should be able to handle most games you throw at it. I got mine last Friday and I love it, it can run borderlands 2 at I'm going to say medium high settings, 1280x800 resolution at around 60 fps.
Do we have a music dump thread? Something's telling me that we do, but it probably got buried somewhere.
FINALLY MY MEMOIR IS DONE YEAH! Time to catch up on my personal reading, since I'm four days behind on that.
^ I don't know. But we should have one.
Okay, I'll make one then.
Wow, that was fast.
Ha! Beat you to it. :P
Grrrrr.
