3/23    Real-time ACM World Finals scoreboard:
            http://icpc.baylor.edu/icpc/Finals/Scoreboard/full.html
        Problem set: http://icpc.baylor.edu/icpc/Finals/problems.pdf
        \_ has cal ever won the finals?
           \_ Yes. http://icpc.baylor.edu/past/icpc96/Report.html
                \_ did they win because stanford was not competing
                   or is that wrong to say?
                   \_ I think that was the year everyone else withdrew.
                      \_ woohoo!  the two sweetest words in the english
                         language!  de-fault!  de-fault!
        \_ GO BEARS!  Honorable mention right in between U. of Arkansas and U.
           of Nebraska - Lincoln!  Maybe next time Cal can beat U. of Central
           Florida for the coveted position of 27th place!  Way to go!
           \_ derision is easy.  How well have *you* done in ACM
              competitions?  -tom
              \_ Missing point (again).  Was I deriding individual team
                 members?  No.  I was deriding CS education at Cal in general.
                 You knew that though... I hope.  You're not still smarting
                 over that AIDS thread and feeling soft for all victims of
                 derision, are you?  It's ok, we still like you even when
                 you're provably wrong.
                 you're provably wrong.  [censored and restored]
                 \_ the only reason tom would be missing a point is that
                    your responses are so damned pointless. -jon

4/17    Just a thought.  Say we select a small percentagle of the population
        (e.g. 100000 people) with representations from all walks of life
        (scientists, engineers, doctors, chefs, plumbers, nannies, ...) except
        bad guys, transport them to a distant earth-like planet with abundant
        natural resources, and take away all man-made objects (machines,
        clothes, books, medicines, all tools, ...)  How long will it take for

4/22    Costco is selling "Bluetooth Capable Premium Digital Hearing Aids" for
        $1999.99 a pair.  My Bluetooth cell phone headset is maybe $30 for one
        ear.  Why does hearing aid cost so much?
        \_ Medical insurance?
        \_ Does $2000-your medical deductible = $30?
           \_ How come insurance companies allow such rip-offs?

1/15    Now that Steve Jobs and Patrick Swayze are sick with
        pancreatic cancer, is pancreatic cancer going to become
        a cause celebre and get lots of research funding,
        far beyond what is actually justified by the magnitude
        of the actual problem?
        \_ they have Elton John doing benefits, not Jimmy Buffet.

10/14   I don't understand this whole AIDS walk BS. Instead of saying
        "I'm going to walk X miles, can you donate $1 per mile?" why
        don't they just simplify it and say "Give me whatever $ you got"?
        Why make it so complex? Sheesh
        \_ Because charity events get more people involved in asking for
           money.  Duh.  -tom

4/14    Political correctness over science
        http://csua.org/u/l9y
        \_ I think you have it exactly backwards; the Red Cross' position is
        \_ I think you have it exactly backwards; the FDA's position is
           fear-mongering over science.  -tom
           \_ Oh, classification as high-risk isn't science?
