[ New! Escape 200704130 ]
Hi Tom, for bookmarks, I was thinking that if you bookmark a level then it would put a "B" in front of it like the check mark when you've completed a level. And then having an option to sort by them. Hope that make sense.
Sometimes when I bookmark a level, I forget the name of it and then I have a hard time finding it. |

ejg: It's hard to count, because I have a lot of solutions stored from deleted levels and stuff like that, but I currently have 1104/1296 for triage. I have not been keeping up well this semester, so most of the unsolved ones are new levels.
Anon: You mean by the number of bookmarks, or what? |

How about having an option to sort by bookmarks? |

Graue: No, in fact, one of the biggest open problems with my work is how to compile distributed programs securely when some of the hosts are controlled by attackers. Every distributed language has this problem, but in some ways it is exacerbated by higher-level language features. I think it is solvable (in fact there are some reasonable solutions out there); it's just not something I'm trying to do in my thesis.
Rob: ML5/pgh+Server 5 are about 1/75th the size of the Linux kernel. I don't think it's an interesting comparison, though, because they're written in very different languages! |
| |
I would like to see a calibration of the L.O.C. in your compiler vs. the Linux kernel :-D |
| |
That sounds naughty.
I almost want to go see your defense though it would probably be over my head. Is it about security per se? |

It's a day on, not a day off! |

Monday the 21st is also MLKJ day! |

Look at the ever increasing slope! Keep it up to the Singularity. |

Congratulations Tom! I am excited for you that you're almost done. I would come to your defense if I was remotely nearby... |

As another calibration, my dissertation is currently about 1/8500th the size of Wikipedia. |

Wow! What a relief to find others with the same problem! I am not as paniced as I was 10 mins ago!
I have the mushroom type aswell and thought that our 7 year old was stuffing pasta shells in the shower drywall.
I will call my landloard tomorrow too but I am also worried for being blamed for all this! I also have astham and currently a cold that is making my chest hurt and now I found this disgusting mushroom (EW!) and I really hope it's not all related! |

Phil: I don't think ETS reads your essay--and certainly not the policymakers of the organization. I believe the grading is farmed out to high school teachers (or whoever) who are given a checklist that they use to grade you. Trying to make a point here would be like trying to make a point about traffic laws on your driver's license application.
Anon: I don't know if there is "leeway"; what I always hear is that there are enough great students around that the best schools get to choose which ones they prefer, since they cannot admit them all. I don't know if/which universities have quotas for domestic minorities, but I do think that they all prefer to have a student body made up of strong students from diverse backgrounds. I'm sure that they appreciate hard workers (but on the other hand, they appreciate rich parents too). The right place to make your case is the essay.
But, I'm certainly no expert in college admissions. |

do minorities/disadvantaged students get a leeway in ivy admissions for "low" SAT scores?
i am black and i got a 2020-- let's say i retake and get a 2150. do ivy league compare me w/ rich prep school kids who have tutors and get similar scores? is there a quota of how many black students can get in. b/c there seems to be 8% AA in all ivys |

We sure did! We want to polish up the game a little bit before posting it, but people have been away for thanksgiving and I have been working hard on my thesis, so that is getting delayed a little bit. |

I took the SAT in May 2006 and received a 1510, but i was at a party till like 5a.m the morning before, and had to wake up at 6 a.m so i only got an hour of sleep.
Then i took the SAT again on Nov 3, 2007 and received a 1710 with a 10 on my essay. I studied for about 30 MINUTES A DAY FOR 2 weeks and took 2 DIAGNOSIS TESTS and 2 FULL LENGTH practice test.
I have a cumulative 2.96 GPA (i think weighted actually), and 2.8 GPA unweighted.
I applied to Cal STATE FULLERTON, ASU, and LIBERTY UNIVERSITY for early application and was accepted to all three. I will also apply to a few harder schools that i wouldnt think i would get into, since you never know.
I think i will go to liberty for the DIV 1 wrestling. |
