Geographically Distinct University Planning

According to Scott, he and several copatriots have signed a bloodpact, in which all parties start obtaining their university degree in Septermber 2006. Likely at University of Western Ontario. I cannot be part of this pact, having planned to attend the University of Windsor in September 2005. Which kinda sucks from a we’re-all-in-this-together standpoint, but [...]

Definitions of Magical Thinking

“A conviction that thinking equates with doing. Occurs in dreams in children, in primitive peoples, and in patients under a variety of conditions. Characterized by lack of realistic relationship between cause and effect.”

WesternDigital 80gb Meets Award Bios

I plugged my 80gig WD IDE harddrive into my pII-233 today, and found to my dismay that it refuses to autodetect. So I went-a-googling for the CHS information, and found CHS=9729/255/63.
