4/19    I got my acceptances to MIT today, also I got into CMU and stanford.
        Stanford is offering me only $25k, while MIT is offering $30k.  Do
        people think it's worth staying in CA at a cost of $5k?
        \_ *yawn*  my package from MIT included a penthouse apartment and
            severeal whores.  of course i turned them down to make 280k/yr
            as a sysadmin for a cluster fof four macintoshes.
            as a sysadmin for a cluster of four macintoshes in tahiti.
            \_ I turned down that job.  Too much work for too little pay.
        \_ Bullshit, no grad schools offer much over $22k for Fall 2002. And
           none are announcing Fall 2012 admissions yet.
        \_ Stanford PhD candidates were invited to the campus on March. They
           even had dinner across Gates Hall. Their SIR was due on April 15th.
           The # of applications nearly trippled this year. How do I know all
           this? Because I took an SITN class and the professor told me so.
           She's part of the admission committee. Boy, you are a big fuckin'
           liar.
        \_ You only got $30k?  You were probably someone's last choice or
           something after a bus load of others got killed in a fluke typhoon
           or something.  You might as well give it up and go to Hayward
           because you only got a mercy 'filler' admit anyway.
                \_ is someone bitter?
                   \_ Nope.  Perhaps it was too subtle for you.
                        \_ perhaps the statement was too lame.
                           \_ No.  You're just dumb.  Sorry, not my fault.
                                \_ no. dumb was the "only $30k" statement.
