10/21   By transferring 3.47 gigabytes over 3000 miles (4810 km) of network
        from Eugene, Oregon to Syracuse, New York in one hour, the team set
        an I2-LSR IPv6 category record of 39.81 terabit meters per second.
        is their math wrong or am I dumb?  from  http://csua.org/u/43a
        \_ Their math is fine, assuming they meant, to use the ISO terms,
           3.47 gibibytes and 39.81 terabits. note that the former is in
           units of 2^30 bytes while the latter is in units of 10^12 BITS.
           \- do you know what their %age of re-xmits was and checksum
              failures?  --psb
        \_ Damn.  I could stomp this record with a truck full of hard disks.
           \_ Never underestimate the bandwidth...
           \_ Netflix transfers way more data.  Except they use DVD's instead
              of HD's and postal carriers instead of a station wagon.
           \_ Not in 1 hour coast to coast.

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
