<p>I am aren’t I? Though I’m also good at copying and pasting…</p>
<p>I’m getting frustrated now. I’m no closer to deciding… (It’s going to be a loong April)</p>
<p>Caltech students? They don’t need light… Infrared vision and all that jazz… </p>
<p>(It’s the return of the Snerk! :))</p>

<p>Return of the Snerk, forsooth. :p</p>
<p>Pyrotechnic, I don’t know. I’m getting $0.002 – e^i(pi) is minus one, and the infinite series sums up to (1/2)/(1-1/2) = 1, unless I’m very, very unintelligent and/or missing something.</p>
<p>(Is that from xkcd-blag, then?)</p>
<p>ETA: my TI-89 backs me up on this. (why yes, I was doing it in my head earlier. What can I say, math = fun. :p)</p>
<p>What about Berkeley? And Northwestern? And Rice? (thinks about deciding where to go to college based on Lightbulb jokes… :))</p>
<p><em>Snort</em> We know Shrivats, we know.</p>
<p>So (once again), how do you kill a damn thread ? :D</p>
<p>@Lakshya, me too, dude !</p>
<p>@Noldo…oh thats an “i ” ? Must have missed it…</p>

How many MIT students does it take to change a lightbulb?
five --one to design a nuclear-powered one that never needs changing,
one to figure out how to power the rest of Boston using that
nuked lightbulb,
two to install it,
and one to write the computer program that controls
the wall switch.
</p>
<p>it’s right that two install it, but steps 1, 2, 4 are performed by bas :)</p>
<p>congrats Spacepirate…</p>
<p>I got rejected from Stanford…:p…</p>
<p>@Pyro: Me brains not forsaking me, that’s just your 2 cents. :)</p>
<p>(Though it’s actually your .2 cents, as you’ve got an extra 0 :D)</p>
<p>@Pyro once again… Well, however you want to kill a thread. (Stops humming How do you solve a problem like Maria. :p)</p>
<p>I suppose the usual methods apply, strangulation, garroting, posting a chances thread on CC, the usual. :D</p>

<p>I love that whole [Verizon-math</a> saga](<a href=“http://verizonmath.blogspot.com %5DVerizon-math”>http://verizonmath.blogspot.com ), really. Dad and I were laughing about it for days.</p>
<p>I love today’s xkcd. A perfect April fool, brilliantly written. :D</p>
<p>Ahhh…I see. I think you’ve been on the net for a long time. :D</p>
<p>@Noldo…it was serious funny. :)</p>
<p>In case I don’t get CMU’s CS, where should I go? Duke, JHU or Northwestern. My major is mostly going to be CS. </p>

<p>Oh, xkcd’s beautiful . Especially ‘belgium’ (Douglas Adams for the win!).</p>
<p>Join me in the “Confused where to go to college” club. I’d say Northwestern or Duke or JHU, in that order…</p>
<p>Why not Berkeley?</p>
<p>Edit: Oops, I though Shrivat was reffering to himself. My Bad</p>
<p>@Lakshya- Duke and Northwestern are both amazing! I do not know much about JHU.</p>
<p>For CS, I’d pick Duke.</p>
<p>Oh yeah, I’m alright. :D</p>
<p>@sid: Lakshya didn’t get into/apply to Berkeley, I think… Me, I’m still stuck between all 4 or 5 (If you include Northwestern. :))</p>
<p>IMO, JHU is the best…but it’s ur choice after all…</p>
