6/7     ucla ee guy, after I sent in my SIR they never mailed me a thing.
        How about you?                                  -ucla cs guy
        \_ I called them on Tues. and a lady at the dept. told me that
           my SIR had been received. She told me that registration info
           would be arriving latter this month. -ucla ee guy
           \_ COOL thanks for calling her and letting me know   -ucla cs guy
        \_ by the way weren't you waiting for Stanford? What happened? For
           me, they never sent me a letter even though they claimed to have
           done it, and gave me an email rejection when I asked.

8/3     Berkeley now ranks 70, while UCLA ranks 50. Williams College
        is #1.

        \_ Forbes hates public education. A less ideologically biased ranking
           has Berkeley at 22 (which is still a fall from the golden years):

        UCLA is ranked above Berkeley. UCSD is ranked above
        Berkeley. Irvine is ranked one below Berkeley.
        Berkeley has seriously gone done in the past
        two decades. I'm not surprised.
        \_ These aren't "best schools" these are "best value" rankings.

9/26    Cal vs. Oregon:  Were you surprised? </sarcasm>
        \_ I was not surprised the Oregon scored 42 points. I was surprised
        \_ I was not surprised that Oregon scored 42 points. I was surprised
           that Cal only scored 3.
        \_ Not surprised they lost. Surprised at what a thorough ass-kicking it
           was on both sides of the ball. Cal couldn't even put up a TD.

9/23    I'm in grad school part time, and the professor I was trying to get
        to advise me just sent me "What you suggest (remote, part-time, topic
        formulation) doesn't fit my advising style..."  Does anyone know
        what "topic formulation" might mean in this context?  I come with
        funding from work, but the topics I can choose are somewhat limited.
        Could be a reference to that...

2/8     Why does UC suck so hard? I did undergrad at UCB and I hated it.
        Professors couldn't teach, class workload was high, and the system
        was designed to "weed out" students and demoralize them rather
        than teach and encourage them. I always got lower grades than I
        deserved for the amount of work I put in. I don't know if this was
        because of the curve which insists that 50% of students should get
