<p>Inshallah ?? Its Mashalla, guys.</p>
<p>^ I asked about the cheers thing because it seems like people outside the US use it a lot ( I actually never saw that ending until I came to this thread).</p>
<p>I didn’t ask the question to waste your time, pyrotechnic</p>
<p>^Cheers! :D</p>
<p>@ajayc: I feel kinda too lazy to post a long list of contests, activities et al, it reminds me of the application process and right now I’m looking forward to college life, studying and networking… :), (though I’d try to post it in the near future)… </p>
<p>And to all the juniors over here - whenever the MIT adcoms tell that they admit people not numbers, excellence not perfection, they mean it… </p>
<p>There are some guys in the Class of 2011, who are absolutely normal ppl. I find it amazing how they got in… But the moment you talk to them their drive and determination strikes you… </p>
<p>Though that’s not a good enough reason to slack off and have a pathetic record, LOL :)</p>
<p>anybody here on facebook?</p>
<p>I’m there, buddy!</p>
<p>I’m on facebook.</p>
<p>should i make a TiT group?</p>
<p>@Pyrotechnic:
I would really appreciate it if you could give me that tutorial!</p>

If you’ve already read Kant’s critique and understood it - you’re way ahead of me!!!
I suggested that you read the British Empiricists - The three basic works I’m referring to here are 1. “Essay concerning human understanding” by John Locke, 2. “Treatise concerning the Principles of Human Knowledge” by George Berkeley and 3.“Treatise on human nature” by David Hume, in that particular order - because Kant’s critique is sort of a follow up on British Empiricism; in fact he directly responds to various points made by Hume throughout his works.</p>
<p>Locke’s political philosophy is not too relevant to the British Empiricist movement or to Kant’s philosophy.
I have most of these texts on pdf if you want them.</p>
<p>I’ve wanted to read Hume because of that very fact. But I can’t get hold of his work. Have any idea where I could find it?</p>
<p>Project Gutenberg</p>

<p>Thanks. I wonder why Hume didn’t show up on Gutenberg’s search. I remember searching for him. By the way, you’re the first person(my age) that I’ve met who’s interested in Philosophy. If you don’t mind me asking, where are you headed for college?</p>
<p>Hey badman89, I dont have the tut on my HS…its on my Rapidshare Premium account…</p>
<p>Actually…I changed the password last week…and I think there was a typo (twice, actually)…and now I can’t get into my account…<em>cry</em>…it’ll take some time…</p>
<p>As for the tut…I didn’t bother understanding the text…I made the tut with my friend…he’s doing CS from IIT Mumbai…(yeah, IITs DO ROCK…)</p>
<p>The tut’s full of mumbo-jumbo…and I think you’ll need to code in Turbo Pascal, use a debugger and a disassembler…etc.</p>
<p>I’ll provide the link soon.</p>
<p>@naidu…ummm…whatever…Cheers.</p>
<p>I don’t know where I’m headed for college yet; RD decisions come out by the end of this month. So far I have an acceptance from the University of Michigan, but I won’t know about the other colleges till the end of this month.
My top choices are Brown and Dartmouth but I know that they’re extremely tough to get in to!</p>
<p>Hey, is there anyone from FIITJEE here ?</p>
<p>Or Narayana / Sri Chaitanya / LFJC ???</p>
<p>Am in FIITJEE :(</p>
<p>K’s also into philosophy. (If one can be into philosophy that is, I mean seems so oxymoronic to use ‘into’ when talking about philosophy, but that’s just me usual overactive sense of grammar I suppose. :))</p>
<p>I’ve read a bit of Camus… (though as our friend Dubya claims to have read L’?tranger for the summer, I’m not sure if Camus’ valued anymore. :D)</p>
<p>camus wrote l’etranger from hell …</p>
<p>Hey Ajay…which branch of FIITJEE ? Delhi ?? And which batch ;-)</p>
<p>45 posts on the day yesterday… (With very few of the regulars posting, hopefully it’ll spark back up again come the 29th :))</p>
