Michefish (10:18:13 PM): yesss.........
MacMan5000 (10:18:17 PM): heheh seriously though layout is fun. i just wish i was better w/ pagemaker - you can do some wicked-cool looks with that.
MacMan5000 (10:19:04 PM): is the book color or b&w?
Michefish (10:19:42 PM): yeah, i still have to learn how to use that program
Michefish (10:19:59 PM): it's in blanc et noir
MacMan5000 (10:20:20 PM): ah, the classic look :-)
(10:21:20 PM) Fasd has entered the room.
Fasd (10:21:25 PM): hey guys
Fasd (10:21:32 PM): funny seeing you all here
Michefish (10:21:51 PM): hey, i'm writing an e-mail to all the socalers

Michefish (10:22:08 PM): i'll attempt to get tim to talk to huy
Michefish (10:22:21 PM): and what does chinmay use for his e-mail?
Michefish (10:22:28 PM): i will have to investigate...
Fasd (10:22:40 PM): check on the website for their colleges
Michefish (10:23:13 PM): that's just what i'll do...
MacMan5000 (10:23:39 PM): hey - does anyone have a list of colleges where people wound up from ssp '01? i was looking around for one and couldn't find one.
MacMan5000 (10:24:02 PM): (i know, random, sorry for derailing the socal conversation)
Michefish (10:24:35 PM): i do not know
iNfiT3273 (10:24:35 PM): where is the ssp01 website?
Fasd (10:24:42 PM): i was at the ice house tonight - a famous comedy club in socal- and i saw kevin neelan and gary shandling of SNL fame
Michefish (10:24:45 PM): i thought i saw it somewhere.
Michefish (10:25:00 PM): i've never been to the ice house
Fasd (10:25:03 PM): what are you guys all doing for the summer?
Fasd (10:25:17 PM): the ice house is only about a mile from caltech
Fasd (10:25:24 PM): you should go sometime
Michefish (10:26:19 PM): i know...
Fasd (10:26:52 PM): you guys alive there?
Fasd (10:26:58 PM): what's everyone up to?
iNfiT3273 (10:27:13 PM): hehe i beat ya to that question, danny ;-)
iNfiT3273 (10:27:22 PM): only response so far came from michelle tho...
Fasd (10:27:22 PM): i think we should get an ssp chat goin during julyish when everyones bored out of their minds
MacMan5000 (10:27:24 PM): um, i'm gonna sleep around, maybe get a job, and play neverwinter nights. yep, fun times. :-)
Fasd (10:27:37 PM): sleep around? solomon! i'm shocked!
MacMan5000 (10:27:37 PM): GOOD IDEA my july is looking mighty dull right now
Fasd (10:27:49 PM): :-X
MacMan5000 (10:27:51 PM): er, sleep.....around the HOUSE.
iNfiT3273 (10:27:59 PM): LoL
Fasd (10:28:09 PM): and when i say around the house, i mean AROUND THE HOUSE.
Fasd (10:28:10 PM): :-X
Fasd (10:28:12 PM): sorry, couldn't resist
MacMan5000 (10:28:18 PM): that was unnecessary :-P
rkabir42 (10:28:44 PM): RAUNCHY!
Fasd (10:29:14 PM): so.... now that i've insulted everyone....
Fasd (10:29:16 PM): what's up tiff?
Fasd (10:29:21 PM): i'm so sorry i can't be joining you in yale :-(
Michefish (10:29:41 PM): but not caltech!
Fasd (10:29:47 PM): they just sent me a postdeferral rejection letter. theyw ere really snooty about it too
Fasd (10:29:50 PM): well,....
iNfiT3273 (10:29:51 PM): :'( i'm heartbroken, danny!
Fasd (10:29:53 PM): caltech's just weird
Fasd (10:30:03 PM): my brother and his friends walka round with vodka bottles
Fasd (10:30:08 PM): it's... weird.
MacMan5000 (10:30:14 PM): oh...yale rejected me flat, those punks...i'm so proud - my first SSP recruit is going to SSP this summer (a good friend of mine) - so if anyone's at alumni day and a kid named rajiv keeps mentioning me, that's him :-)
Fasd (10:30:15 PM): they played drunken frisbee golf
MacMan5000 (10:30:22 PM): vodka at caltech? =-O
Fasd (10:30:40 PM): whenever they were 'under par', i.e. they didn't throw the frisbee well enough, they had to take a half a shot each
Fasd (10:30:48 PM): and obviously they got progressively worse over the night
Fasd (10:30:53 PM): i stayed sober, thank you very much
iNfiT3273 (10:30:54 PM): :-[ <= embarrased about yale's stupidity to sol
MacMan5000 (10:31:21 PM): ...drunken frisbee golf....i suppose it'/s better than drunken ultimate
iNfiT3273 (10:31:21 PM): haha i'll suggest that game to some of my friends
Michefish (10:31:22 PM): danny! you'll be even more surprised when you see those frats at mit!
Fasd (10:31:32 PM): that's why i'm staying outta the frats :0
iNfiT3273 (10:31:33 PM): ooo...
rkabir42 (10:31:36 PM): what!
rkabir42 (10:31:41 PM): the frats are fine....
Fasd (10:31:43 PM): gonna be dorming in ryan's dorm
rkabir42 (10:31:43 PM): [or so i'm told]
Michefish (10:31:44 PM): caltech's nothin' compared to 'em
MacMan5000 (10:31:47 PM): yeah, but there's no room in boston for frisbee golf. ;-)
Michefish (10:32:04 PM): yeah, they're crazycrazy
Fasd (10:32:05 PM): yah, wherever you throw the frisbee it just lands in the charles
rkabir42 (10:32:14 PM): you could always hit cars...
rkabir42 (10:32:16 PM): moving holes...
Fasd (10:32:23 PM): haha
Michefish (10:32:31 PM): or girls
MacMan5000 (10:32:31 PM): fellow students....heheheh
MacMan5000 (10:32:48 PM): there you go - "oops i'm sorry my frisbee hit you, what's your name?"
Fasd (10:32:52 PM): it's incredible how everybody knows everybody else in caltech. mit seems a lot bigger in comparison, you can be a little more anonymous
Michefish (10:32:56 PM): there's not a lot of girls at caltech, and there will be less next year
Michefish (10:33:06 PM): yeah. that would be nice
Michefish (10:33:16 PM): the dating scene is horrible at caltech
Fasd (10:33:28 PM): to people who don't know -- EVERYBODY here in caltech knows michelle
Fasd (10:33:31 PM): she seems pretty famous
Michefish (10:33:33 PM): people take their relationships too seriously, or not seriously at all, and i always feel pressure
rkabir42 (10:33:34 PM): HAHAHAHAHHAHA
Michefish (10:33:38 PM): what?
Fasd (10:33:41 PM): and everyone spreads rumors about everybody else so it's kinda funny
Michefish (10:33:42 PM): are you serious?
MacMan5000 (10:33:46 PM): :-D go michelle!
rkabir42 (10:33:47 PM): i heard from one source that our michelle was the hottest girl on campus?
Michefish (10:33:53 PM): how do you know that everyone knows me?
MacMan5000 (10:33:58 PM): oh really?
Fasd (10:34:04 PM): seems like that
rkabir42 (10:34:09 PM): phew! danny!
Michefish (10:34:15 PM): yeah, suneil said that, you dufus. people didn't even like me at the beginning of the year
MacMan5000 (10:34:21 PM): man, i'm def out of the loop, i shoulda went to prefrosh weekend :-)
Fasd (10:34:22 PM): haha
Fasd (10:34:28 PM): suneil is not to be believed?
Michefish (10:34:33 PM): you would have had fun.
Fasd (10:34:38 PM): <waves to suneil upstairs>
Michefish (10:34:43 PM): he keeps on thinking that i know everybody
Michefish (10:34:57 PM): oh yeah. he's over there. i forgot
Fasd (10:35:03 PM): suneil and i just spoke more on IM in the last 4 minutes than i've spoken to him in 3 days in real life at caltech
Michefish (10:35:08 PM): i was on campus today, but i didn't see you, danny
rkabir42 (10:35:21 PM): damn b
Michefish (10:35:21 PM): he's doing ee52
Fasd (10:35:23 PM): i was out for father's day with my family after 4 pm
Michefish (10:35:25 PM): throw him a bone
Michefish (10:35:32 PM): that's a hard class
MacMan5000 (10:35:32 PM): aww, poor kid!
MacMan5000 (10:35:40 PM): anything ee there is hard
rkabir42 (10:35:42 PM): what's ee52?
rkabir42 (10:35:46 PM): hell
Fasd (10:35:47 PM): we slept until 12, did some packing, slept some more, then went out to a fancy kosher rest. on wilshire blvd
rkabir42 (10:35:51 PM): anything at caltech is damn hard, right?
Michefish (10:35:55 PM): it's a ee course for ee majors
MacMan5000 (10:35:59 PM): hahahahahah
Michefish (10:36:13 PM): you build a sound recorder in that class
Fasd (10:36:20 PM): an mp3 player i think
MacMan5000 (10:36:28 PM): oh god, that's insane....
Michefish (10:36:29 PM): that's cool. did you see the fairfax district?
Fasd (10:36:39 PM): yah, briefly
Fasd (10:36:44 PM): it's pretty nice
Fasd (10:36:52 PM): though downtown la is so DEAD
Fasd (10:36:59 PM): no one walks on the streets like in boston or nyc
Fasd (10:37:13 PM): everyone just hops in their suvs to walk down the block
MacMan5000 (10:37:24 PM): which is why you stay in pasadena. seriously though la is....ok, i won't speak ill of LA in here :-)
TopQuark95 (10:37:30 PM): I never said michelle was the hottest girl in campus
TopQuark95 (10:37:31 PM): that's bullshit
Michefish (10:37:33 PM): ok, danny. i realize you feel superior to angelenos
Fasd (10:37:41 PM): haha
Fasd (10:37:43 PM): :-P
Michefish (10:37:45 PM): caltech people never get of campus anyway
MacMan5000 (10:37:46 PM): suniel! nice to see you sticking up for yourself.
Michefish (10:37:53 PM): suneil told ryan that
TopQuark95 (10:37:55 PM): Heh- I was just reading back, that's what someone else told me
TopQuark95 (10:38:04 PM): someone else said that's what they thought, no offense, michelle
Michefish (10:38:11 PM): or at least ryan told me that
Fasd (10:38:12 PM): funny how all these rumors get around
TopQuark95 (10:38:16 PM): but I think Chelsea Chang is by far the hottest girl on campus ;p
Michefish (10:38:26 PM): i don't even know who she is
MacMan5000 (10:38:44 PM): a scientific american study showed this month that ssp is responsible for half of all caltech rumors......:-\
Michefish (10:38:44 PM): yeah, so is christian's girlfriend :-)
Michefish (10:38:53 PM): haha
iNfiT3273 (10:38:58 PM): LoL, sol
Fasd (10:39:14 PM): <time out> does anyone else think it's weird that both michelle and suneil can talk about THE WHOLE campus. let's see will or justin tell us "yah, that girl's the hottest girl in stanford" . ... there are like 5000 students there
Fasd (10:39:21 PM): it's like a little prairie schoolhouse in caltech
MacMan5000 (10:39:26 PM): lol
iNfiT3273 (10:39:29 PM): hehe how big is caltech?
MacMan5000 (10:39:43 PM): the campus is huge, it's just sparsely populated :-)
Fasd (10:39:44 PM): 1000 total
Michefish (10:39:52 PM): not it's not
Fasd (10:39:54 PM): caltech campus really isn't so big either
Fasd (10:39:59 PM): 1000 undergrad
Fasd (10:40:00 PM): woops
Michefish (10:40:17 PM): there's about 900 undergrads, and the campus is actually small
iNfiT3273 (10:40:20 PM): wow...that is small
iNfiT3273 (10:40:26 PM): crrrrazy...
Fasd (10:40:34 PM): the campus is a 15 min. walk across, that's about it
Fasd (10:40:39 PM): but it has really pretty fountains
TopQuark95 (10:40:40 PM): no way, way less
MacMan5000 (10:40:46 PM): considering its population? it seemed decent sized when i saw it on a map. but i've never been there :-)
Michefish (10:40:48 PM): i can get across faster because i'm a fast walker
TopQuark95 (10:40:53 PM): moore lab is on the other side of campus and it only takes about 3 mins to get there
MacMan5000 (10:41:05 PM): ok ok it's small i'm sorry i'll go back to MIT now.
Michefish (10:41:09 PM): yeah, but we all get lazy at caltech
TopQuark95 (10:41:12 PM): Oh yeah, EE52 sucks- I think it might be the most time consuming class in the EE requirement. I'm glad it's going to be out of the way
Michefish (10:41:24 PM): moore seems soooo f a r a w a y
Fasd (10:41:37 PM): what's with all the key borrowing, suni?
MacMan5000 (10:41:53 PM): key borrowing?
Michefish (10:41:58 PM): yeah, but then you'll get to the ee courses where you just use equations all the time
TopQuark95 (10:42:02 PM): I never got around to finding out where to get keys
Michefish (10:42:11 PM): i have keys
JakePinheiro (10:42:13 PM): hey guys
Michefish (10:42:23 PM): i've got a southmaster, one to spaulding lab...
MacMan5000 (10:42:25 PM): how was the quiz?
JakePinheiro (10:42:39 PM): not too bad - linear algebra
TopQuark95 (10:42:41 PM): Michelle - I prefer that way more though. In this class you never know how long something is going to take because there are soooo many things that can go wrong
MacMan5000 (10:43:09 PM): wow (said the kid who just finished calculus)
Fasd (10:43:15 PM): haha
JakePinheiro (10:43:28 PM): linear's totally easier than a lot of other stuff
Fasd (10:43:35 PM): gadzooks (said the kid who's still trying to remember his algebra I)
iNfiT3273 (10:43:36 PM): damn (said the kid who withdrew from linear algebra on the last day of class)
MacMan5000 (10:43:45 PM): lol
JakePinheiro (10:43:48 PM): ooch
MacMan5000 (10:43:59 PM): i'm sorry tiff
JakePinheiro (10:44:14 PM): you could withdraw on the last day of class?
JakePinheiro (10:44:19 PM): I wish we could do that
rkabir42 (10:44:20 PM): that's a sweet deal
iNfiT3273 (10:44:24 PM): yeppers
Michefish (10:44:30 PM): you didn't finish that class?
Michefish (10:44:44 PM): i think it was slightly easier than our intro calc class
iNfiT3273 (10:44:51 PM): hehe i did all the assignments and everything, just didnt take the final, cuz i knew i'd get nothing higher than a D
iNfiT3273 (10:45:17 PM): fractal geometry was fine...heard mandelbrot lecture twice ;-)
MacMan5000 (10:45:26 PM): heheh, awesome
iNfiT3273 (10:45:43 PM): i couldn't understand 50% of what he was saying tho
iNfiT3273 (10:45:48 PM): not cuz it was so complicated...
JakePinheiro (10:45:52 PM): woah, the real guy?
iNfiT3273 (10:45:55 PM): his french accent is indecipherable
JakePinheiro (10:45:59 PM): that's cool
Michefish (10:46:09 PM): well, we can't understand teachers usually
MacMan5000 (10:46:10 PM): wattasec - the actual mandelbrot? lol, dude, only at yale :-)
iNfiT3273 (10:46:13 PM): (so much for my 4 years of french)
JakePinheiro (10:46:40 PM): yeah, HM gets like nobody famous
Fasd (10:47:02 PM): funny how coming out of hs we think we're G-d's gift to humanity and then we step into college and are like "please don't fail me"
iNfiT3273 (10:47:20 PM): hehe
JakePinheiro (10:47:27 PM): hehe, yeah totally
MacMan5000 (10:48:23 PM): mhm. although admittedly i was never really at the top of my class - just your typical nerd.
JakePinheiro (10:49:03 PM): where are you going Solomon?
MacMan5000 (10:49:16 PM): MIT
JakePinheiro (10:49:21 PM): ahh, cool
Fasd (10:49:31 PM): am i the only one who suspects matt mirpourian has dropped off the face of the earth?
iNfiT3273 (10:49:42 PM): i'd like to see if anyone does not turn out to be a geek
iNfiT3273 (10:49:58 PM): haha good question...is his band site still up?
Fasd (10:50:03 PM): no clue
MacMan5000 (10:50:07 PM): alright, i'll take you up on that bet....(clicks link like the rest should)
MacMan5000 (10:50:48 PM): well as long as he's alright...is he still getting the ssp e-mails? maybe we have the wrong address.
Michefish (10:51:22 PM): hey, my sister is kicking me off the computer now because she probably has to call someone she just saw ten minutes ago
Michefish (10:51:40 PM): and this is my older sister, mind you
iNfiT3273 (10:51:57 PM): alright...byebye...thanks for starting the chat, michelle!
Fasd (10:52:00 PM): bye
Michefish (10:52:01 PM): i'll be on campus tomorrow, danny and suneil
JakePinheiro (10:52:05 PM): yeah, see ya michelle
Michefish (10:52:09 PM): in the afternoon
MacMan5000 (10:52:22 PM): bbye
Michefish (10:52:26 PM): talk to you guys later when my sis isn't being such a brat!
(10:52:30 PM) Michefish has left the room.
MacMan5000 (10:53:25 PM): yep, geek. happy tiff?
iNfiT3273 (10:53:31 PM): ack the link matt last sent us to his site doesn't work...
iNfiT3273 (10:53:47 PM): Aha! Just as I suspected...
MacMan5000 (10:53:50 PM): try his college, maybe he has a website there....?
iNfiT3273 (10:53:56 PM): hmm
MacMan5000 (10:54:45 PM): this is a scooby doo moment, as we wait for her revelation....
MacMan5000 (10:54:55 PM): that could lead us down the path of the truth!
JakePinheiro (10:55:37 PM): hehe, ugh
Fasd (10:55:43 PM): if it weren't for you and those darn kids i would've gotten away with it too!
JakePinheiro (10:55:44 PM): worst (looking) movie ever!
Fasd (10:56:17 PM): let's rewind scooby style (doodledoo doodledoo doodledoo)
JakePinheiro (10:56:44 PM): my math prof first semester would always do that
JakePinheiro (10:56:49 PM): kinda weird
iNfiT3273 (10:56:55 PM): "Seyed Matthew Toufon Mirpourian"
iNfiT3273 (10:57:03 PM): nobody told me that was his full name...wowsers
Fasd (10:57:27 PM): we shoulda called him seyed all summer
iNfiT3273 (10:57:31 PM): hehe
iNfiT3273 (10:57:35 PM): he's going into...psychology
Fasd (10:57:44 PM): wow, that's a shocker
JakePinheiro (10:57:47 PM): seyed is way cooler than "matt"
Fasd (10:57:52 PM): i thought he wanted robotics
MacMan5000 (10:58:17 PM): just b/c that's his major, doesn't mean that's what he's studying. ;-)
Fasd (10:58:21 PM): i bet he gets stopped at the airport alot as a suspected terrorist
rkabir42 (10:58:40 PM): with machineguns in his guitar case?
Fasd (10:59:01 PM): no, suicide bombs of course
JakePinheiro (10:59:04 PM): dude, that isn't saying much - *I* got wanded like 4 times the last time I flew
Fasd (10:59:29 PM): my brother introduced me to omar, his palestinian friend, and they recommended to omar to make a belt out of wires with a large red detonation button as the buckle and then walk into LAX and see what they say
iNfiT3273 (10:59:51 PM): i thought matt was going into astronomy for grad studies..
Fasd (11:00:05 PM): i thought robotics for some reason
Fasd (11:00:23 PM): well, we'll just have to email bomb him and ask
MacMan5000 (11:00:30 PM): there you go
Fasd (11:00:32 PM): since he doesn't bother to talk to any of us any more
iNfiT3273 (11:00:50 PM): :-(
Fasd (11:01:08 PM): <worried mother routine> "you stay out all night with those hooligans, you don't call to tell us you're ok... WHAT DO YOU WANT? TO GIVE US A HEART ATTACK"
iNfiT3273 (11:01:18 PM): lol
Fasd (11:01:43 PM): imagine an asian or jewish mother saying it ... it becomes 10 times funnier
Fasd (11:01:46 PM): :-)
rkabir42 (11:02:05 PM): hahahah
rkabir42 (11:02:07 PM): it's so true
rkabir42 (11:02:07 PM): !
JakePinheiro (11:02:16 PM): haha
rkabir42 (11:02:27 PM): re: Omar... in Canada - where we've always taken our security seriously - he'd be arrested on the spot
Fasd (11:02:51 PM): but what if you just like having a wire belt?
Fasd (11:02:57 PM): what's to stop him?
MacMan5000 (11:03:00 PM): nothing illegal w/ that ;-)
Fasd (11:03:02 PM): that's impinging on civil liberties
MacMan5000 (11:03:23 PM): he has the right to keep his pants up.
TopQuark95 (11:03:26 PM): hehe- one of my friends back home always used to wear something strange for his belt
rkabir42 (11:03:34 PM): well
TopQuark95 (11:03:34 PM): I can totally see him doing that
Fasd (11:03:38 PM): michelle told me that she found out during research for humanities class that asian students have something like 10 times the rate of depression and everyone concurred that it's gotta be the parents. one kid said to her "hey, if
Fasd (11:03:49 PM): you had a chinese mother like mine - you'd be poppin' those prozac too"
iNfiT3273 (11:04:02 PM): hah wow i didn't know that
Fasd (11:04:08 PM): (ok, so that was a little exagerrated for effect, but you get the idea ;-))
Fasd (11:04:17 PM): the rate was REALLY high
rkabir42 (11:04:17 PM): in canada - it's against the law to crack jokes about hijacking / what not on airport property
rkabir42 (11:04:36 PM): i'm assuming that a belt buckle saying 'detonate' would fall under that somwehere
Fasd (11:04:42 PM): wow, those canadians aren uts
MacMan5000 (11:04:49 PM): i know - i think it's illegal in the US too - but it's not a joke, it's a real belt, for seriously business holding pants up. and it could be the detonate belt company. :-)
Fasd (11:04:58 PM): the ACLU in the states would be protesting that like crazy
rkabir42 (11:05:04 PM): if it was - then it would be okay i guess
rkabir42 (11:05:15 PM): which is why we make fun of the states
rkabir42 (11:05:19 PM): :-)
MacMan5000 (11:05:26 PM): no, i'm pretty sure it's illegal to do that in the us too. "reasonable cause" for removal at the very least.
Fasd (11:05:29 PM): funny how things look diff't on the other side of the fence
JakePinheiro (11:05:50 PM): even if it isn't illegal, though, do you reallywant to go through the hassle?
Fasd (11:05:57 PM): yah, everything's getting really 1984-ish nowadays, especially with thise new homeland security deal
Fasd (11:06:05 PM): it's worth the laughs
Fasd (11:06:07 PM): and it makes a point
Fasd (11:06:18 PM): it's an american tradition to screw with the cops
Fasd (11:06:19 PM): :-)
MacMan5000 (11:06:32 PM): the cop car on the dome should be proof enough of that.
JakePinheiro (11:06:33 PM): hehe, very true
rkabir42 (11:06:33 PM): which is why we make fun of americans for being dumb :-)
Fasd (11:06:52 PM): the fbi is now allowed to do domestic spying - tapping phone lines, tracking people all over the states
rkabir42 (11:06:55 PM): that's campus police - that's very different - they drive us home at night when we don't know where we are
iNfiT3273 (11:06:55 PM): sol? ehh?
iNfiT3273 (11:07:10 PM): car? dome? *confused*
rkabir42 (11:07:17 PM): intelligence has been doing that for a while now
rkabir42 (11:07:22 PM): carnivore / echelon
MacMan5000 (11:07:28 PM): anyhoo, i gotta turn in - 2am here. so lemme conclude by saying that neverwinter nights will be the best selling game this summer. g'night. (i'll let ryan handle the hack questions.)
Fasd (11:07:30 PM): yah, but now it's the law!
Fasd (11:07:34 PM): i thought carnivore was for email?
MacMan5000 (11:07:37 PM): yeah, carnivore is so evil, heheh
Fasd (11:07:44 PM): bye sol
Fasd (11:07:52 PM): (wow , it's early here. really early)
MacMan5000 (11:07:53 PM): carnivore is for EVERYTHING man, lol
Fasd (11:07:59 PM): feels weird to be the 'early' one
MacMan5000 (11:08:14 PM): shoe's on the other foot. g'night.
(11:08:16 PM) MacMan5000 has left the room.
Fasd (11:08:22 PM): ryan - it's 3 am in st john, yah?
rkabir42 (11:08:46 PM): yep
rkabir42 (11:09:07 PM): carnivore is e-mail
rkabir42 (11:09:17 PM): echelon is telephone and other comm channels i beleive
TopQuark95 (11:11:51 PM): carnivore isn't just email- it's for any data sent over the internet I think
Fasd (11:12:08 PM): tiff is usually the chatter box, now she's suddenly gone dead
iNfiT3273 (11:12:40 PM): hehe
iNfiT3273 (11:12:53 PM): i'm reading a book, chatting here, chatting with someone else
iNfiT3273 (11:13:18 PM): so what's with the cop car on the dome, ryan?

rkabir42 (11:19:14 PM): so true
iNfiT3273 (11:19:22 PM): ROFL
iNfiT3273 (11:19:25 PM): that's awesome
Fasd (11:22:13 PM): if you notice carefully, the official motto of mit is IHTFP ...which i only found out recently stands for - i hate this f***ing place
Fasd (11:22:27 PM): as y ou can tell, i'm really looking forward to frosh year :-)
Fasd (11:23:02 PM): btw - ryan - for some neurotic reason i bought most of the books you recommended (only $220 total, found some good deals on amazon used books)
JakePinheiro (11:23:23 PM): wow, if people did that here, they'd fine everyone like $500
rkabir42 (11:23:24 PM): hahahahah
rkabir42 (11:23:24 PM): well
rkabir42 (11:23:28 PM): you'll be prepared
rkabir42 (11:23:35 PM): did what?
JakePinheiro (11:23:49 PM): a prank like that
JakePinheiro (11:24:06 PM): the maintainance people really don't seem to like the students here
JakePinheiro (11:24:14 PM): there are all sorts of horror stories about them
rkabir42 (11:24:20 PM): yeah
rkabir42 (11:24:24 PM): for big ones like that
rkabir42 (11:24:32 PM): they have some people dedicated to night watch
rkabir42 (11:24:39 PM): care to share one? :-)
JakePinheiro (11:26:15 PM): uh, like this guy puts in a work order for fixing his sink drain, or something, in April of 1998, and they just sent out this automated email that they fixed it THIS MONTH
JakePinheiro (11:26:22 PM): and he graduated 3 years ago
rkabir42 (11:27:32 PM): hahahahahah
rkabir42 (11:27:33 PM): damn
JakePinheiro (11:27:37 PM): and other things, like throwing stuff out of dorm rooms at the end of the year while people are still living there
rkabir42 (11:27:42 PM): hahahahahha
rkabir42 (11:27:44 PM): that's hilarious
