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. |

I did literally dream it up. It is something that I have been planning on writing, but have not yet even started. (How many of those are there?) But there is already something, M-x make-frame-on-display, that you can use to create another emacs window in the same process on another computer (running X). This works great, except that only one user can be using the minibuffer at a time (or doing other modal things like incremental search). The idea of twoplayer mode would just to rebind keys for common operations that use the minibuffer so that they do not. (Or maybe there is some easy way to make duplicate minibuffers, which would be awesome.)

Haha! I also googled "emacs twoplayer" and failed to find anything... |

Tom, can you give me a reference to this mythical emacs mode? It sounds like you literally dreamed it up. The closest thing I can find is documentation about how two people /can't/ edit something simultaneously.
http://www.phys.ufl.edu/docs/emacs/emacs_106.html
On the other hand, I understand how it would work, by transmitting the diffs across the network in real time. In this case, a k-player mode for small k should also be feasible to implement. |

Well, we were all in the same room, checking in (using subversion) rapidly and talking to each other. It was almost like emacs twoplayer mode, a development style I think works pretty well for small projects. Except I was not touching the code because I recused myself! Also, you don't want comments because they look like this:
# if falling, should be drilling if drill |
| |
Wow this code is totally uncommented and there is only one file! How did you guys all work on this at the same time? Or how did Adam and Jason?
Regardless, HeadCats are goot! |

Thanks Brendan! Yeah, when we were trying to figure out what the ending condition was, we thought of that game, so that was the reason it's a head cat in the first place! =) |

The only thing lame about the game jam is that none of the prizes is an actual OLPC. |
