Color Me Stupid

I never would have thought I would be reading an article about how Nintendo is beating both Sony and Microsoft in the consoles market.  I guess the GameCube is currently the market leader on price/performance ratio (and probably price/fun, on a more subjective scale), but it’s shocking how much money Sony and Microsoft are planning on charging for something that won’t even handle current PC games.

My Reluctant Fan-Hood

Although not a serious enough fan to capriciously spend $22 on a t-shirt, this is pretty funny.

Breakage

Apparently, installing the first-off IE 7 Beta a few months ago really broke Windows Update.  Let’s just say I have some catching up to do now…

Adiabatic Expansion

Wild Cherry Diet Pepsi produces within me a magnitude of burping that could rattle the world off its very foundations.

I hope that, upstairs, Stompzilla the concrete-footed she-monster is shaken from her throne of bones and smoldering ash, singeing the carpet with strands of her disheveled, fiery mane.

Unknown Origin

I don’t even know how I ended up finding this screenshot of an IRC client surreptitiously embedded into the Eclipse UI.

Sufficient Miniaturization

I would like to get a chip implant that allows my e-mail to feed directly into my brain.  I could see it working, but not with MIME.

Too much e-mail server thinking, not enough studying.

1. Whoa.
2. What’s that?
3. New e-mail.
4. What did they say?
5. Problem number four.
6. They say it’s not done right.
7. How are we supposed to know?
8. The teacher sure didn’t teach this.
9. I know, but it’s kind of in the book.
8. Yeah, but what’s the point of this stuff?
7. That’s why you have a teacher.
6. At least that’s the ideal.
5. I’m so sick of this.
4. Four more days left.
3. Whatever.
2. What’s wrong?
1. Blah.

Update: Finance Sample Exam

This is my version of the Finance practice test.

Update: I have changed Problem #4 to reflect a sensible solution.  The problem is actually more like pp. 444-446 than I thought.  If you would like to compare my solution to the textbook problem, pretend like there is no “Low Debt” company, and just work the problem for the “High Debt” case, which has a risk of default.

Note that I receive an e-mail every time a comment is left on the board, so it’s a great way to keep in touch.
