<p>Actually it is impossible to check 20034858 times a day given the fact that even if checking admission decisions online only took 1 second per instance, it would still equal a total of 5,565.2 hours (rounded down), which would be equivalent to approximately 232 earth days. However, if you happened to be on Venus, then hypothetically this could be possible as one venus day equals around 243 earth days. Actually you’d be able to check an additional 950,00 times!!!</p>
<p>Yay for Venus!</p>

<p>i dont see how its impossible, i am sure the Columbia supercomputer can check quite a bit more often than once per second… it actually perfoms 51.87 trillion floating point operations per second, more than enough to check the admission site 20034858 times in one day…</p>
<p>You guys just killed this thread. >_< lol.</p>
<p>dont worry, it ill come back alive once UCLA/UCB post their admissions</p>
<p>I think time travel is a more viable option than pshhh super computers. What with new flux compacitor technology we should be seeing flying dorleans in under 8 years.</p>
<p>if time travel could exist in the future then it could exist in the present.</p>
<p>maybe it does</p>
<p>you just blew my mind</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>You aren’t taking into account the bandwidth required.</p>
<p>It may be able to preform ‘51.87 trillion floating point operations per second,’ but keep in mind the information it is accessing is within a server at UCB, and the time it takes to receive the information hasn’t anything to do with processing speed. And, even if you make staggered requests, it would overload the server at UCB causing it to crash.</p>
<p>Yep, has to be on Venus or beyond.</p>
<p>well in that case we could use google servers, im sure google has more than enough bandwith to check 20034858 times in a day</p>
<p>All right, listen: you know how in space movies they put astronauts in suspender animation so that their trip seems really short, right? I think I figured out how to do it.
How to freeze myself. If I freeze myself, then in two weeks, when UCB decisions come out, you guys can unfreeze me. The wait will seem instantaneous to me.</p>
<p>lmao…OKAY, who’s up for it!!!</p>
<p>yeah I was thinking about that too, except I got a lot of **** to turn in and some midterms in my classes, other wise I’d do it with you</p>
<p>alansda-- just don’t freeze yourself too long like cartman did in the wii episode. D:</p>
<p>Yeah, who knows how tough it’d be to get into berkeley by the time otters control the world!</p>
<p>This thread is so freakin’ random</p>
<p>at least we know that those that shall visit this thread in the future… they shall learn much from our ever expanding wisdom…</p>
<p>haha.</p>
<p>no, you’re a towel!</p>
<p>At least they’ll learn how to wipe their a$$ with this ever expanding wisdom. That much I know.</p>
<p>This entire forum is random; every thread turns into a tangential discussion, which in turn spawns another discussion which is tangentially related to the first tangential discussion, and so on and so forth.</p>
<p>dont know where else to vent but seriously some ppl can not drive…A YIELD does not mean you dont have stop and can just go through, nor does it mean you can go without looking, 2nd please if your going to change lanes to the left do not keep your blinker on for an hour…3rd dont drive right next to me cuz it creates this awkward feeling like your watching me or like im watching you…its just creepy… Anyways UCLA lost my number so thats why they haven’t called…</p>
