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

          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
