9/7     Math question: You know those weird symbolic letters like R (real)
        Z (integers) C (complex) - what the hell is Q
        \_ Q is the set of rational numbers. Q for Quotient.
           --jon (wannabe math student)
           \_ jon, you should come to 104 sometimes.  -- schoen
        \_ an omnipotent being...
           \_ Sush! He can hear you...
                \_ And _can't_ hear your thoughts?  (assuming it really
                   existed)
           \_ As in the weird dude in the red jumpsuit on Star Trek?

3/7     My sister is graduating soon with a decree in information management.
        She was orignally CS, but couldn't cut the math, so her GPA sucks.
        However, she has had a couple of internships and did fine.  She did
        desktop support at RockYou and is currently doing web programming
        at UC Santa Cruz, but they can't keep her on after graduation.
        Anyone got any jobs?  She wanted to be a network admin, but right now

9/18    I forgot my math.  Say the probability of a bug happening is the
        unknown fixed value p in [0,1].  I attempt to reproduce the
        bug until it happens once.  Then it happens at my n-th trial, so I
        stop.  Now, what is the expected value of p?  Is it E(p) = 1/n?  Thx.
        \_ Did a quick program to test.  Looks like E(p) = 1/n
           (given assumption n(p) = sum x = 1 to inf of x*(1-p)^(x-1)*p

8/1     Yahoo to get 88% of the ad revenue in team up with m$.  Y!m$,
        discuss?
        \_ I thought Jerry Yang would never sell!
           \_ He's gone, replaced by some broad.
        \_ 88% of pittance is still pittance, I don't know how people
          think there is money in click through ads.  Who clicks on them?

        To those in academia, how do you organize the journal articles
        you keep (hard copies, that is)? By date? Author? Subject?
        Something else? Thanks.
        \_ I am not in academia, but author makes most sense. If you want, you
           can group by subject (Sun Spots, Solar Wind, Solar Flares) and then
