<0> geez, lotsa bug fixes in 5.22
<3> Nanuq: Heh. I'm only kidding. I'm engaged.
<3> And fortunately, she shares my lack of optimism regaurding busting out toddlers.
<0> upgrading firefox to 1.5.0.4
<2> dogbert2: 12 secs here... it's a centrino lappy running on battery now though. still.
<0> i'm on a home computer (not my lappy) :)
<3> I program my home computer... ... ...beam myself into dah future.
<0> firefox updated, now grabbing winamp pro
<3> Hahaha.
<3> No. It's the work of one of the more... well... of an OK band.
<4> G-reat
<2> K_F!
<3> Guuuuuuuureat!
<4> 4 hours of sleep and exam today, yaikes
<2> K_F: blech
<4> hehe
<2> <-- dj winamp
<2> K_F: notice the new domain yet?
<2> s/e/ed
<4> the parked one?
<2> K_F: yeah.. so far it's parked ;)
<0> installing new winamp :)
<4> yeah, I noticed it..
<4> :)
<4> friends of the Ms'?
<2> K_F: sister ;)
<4> ah..
<2> blech tunnel.
<2> ok better.
<2> K_F: more or less prepared for $exam?
<4> nope
<4> at least a little time to relax before the two last ones
<4> 13th and 20th
<4> done with 4, and one tonday... yay
<4> today*
<4> at this point I don't care if I redo it next year :)
<5> K_F: so did you do: A) well B) so-so C) Arrrgghhh! D) All the above :P
<2> 2 exams to go? that's nice.. I'm going to have mine: 7, 14, 19, 23, 30.06 | 7, 13, 19, 24.07
<4> XyZzY: hehe
<4> XyZzY: I haven't left for the exam yet ..
<2> K_F: so.. 9 for me within 2 months from now.
<4> 0644 here..
<4> yoz: hehe, have fun :)
<5> K_F: pre-warm up question :)
<4> XyZzY: 50% correct gives you an E btw
<4> first p***ing grade
<2> K_F: that's going to a be a ****ing torture again.
<5> 'E' ? A, B, C, D, and F's are what I'm used too
<4> yoz: I can understand that :)
<4> XyZzY: we have D,E,F
<2> 1.2.3.4.5 here.. 1 being an A
<4> C is an OK grade,
<4> when I say OK, it means I won't redo the exam because of it
<2> .ro is fun.. they got 1 to 10 and 10 being an A.
<4> means I know what I should know
<4> yoz: 1-6 was the norwegian one before
<4> 4 being the first p***ing grade
<4> and decimal places
<5> never quite understood why they skip the 'E' either
<4> A was 1.0-1.5
<2> close to .at then.. but 1-10 ? heh
<6> yoz: Makes things 'simpler' :)
<4> XyZzY: because you were used to a 5-scale figure and the F is for Fail
<4> we used a 6 scale...
<2> Pizbit: **** no.. I think it's rather complicated. ;)
<6> yoz: Well, one per finger
<4> much more difficult to measure on 10 points
<4> for the teachers that is
<2> I mean if 5 is a p***ing grade.. does it mater if I got a 1 or 3?
<2> no difference.. I failed anyway ;)
<4> yeah, which is why F is the only failing grade here
<6> yoz: Generally how much you fail effects your chances of getting access to other papers etc
<4> Pizbit: ?
<2> Pizbit: there is a point.. but well.
<6> You failed, you have to do it again but you can do other stuff too, or you failed but we like you so you can go up a year anyway(in high school)
<4> wouldn't matter to me anyways
<4> I have to have all p***ed exams on my bachelor before beginning my masters
<4> other than that I can push the exams forwards
<4> so I have a year left..
<2> Pizbit: that's school.. yeah. not doable in college/uni
<6> yoz: College is high school! :D
<4> high school would be upper secondary school
<2> Pizbit: ok got the wrong term then.. college is what I call an university of applied sciences
<5> you had to be in tthe upper percentile to be accepted for College. 'D' was not.
<5> s/tt/t
<2> Pizbit: given the fact that all that stuff is different anyway.
<4> yeah, comparing Europe and US is useless
<2> yeah..
<4> on so many levels
<4> we use a couple of US books, with the exception of Kotler's Marketing Management ..... well...
<4> DAMN thats a lot of text with no substance
<4> Pindyk and Rubenfelt's Microeconomics for one..
<4> 750 pages or so, can be summed up on 5% of that
<2> same with UK.
<6> yoz: Also if you get a 'high fail' you may get given access to 'pre-uni' courses at uni instead of having to repeat your last high school year
<6> heh
<2> =P
<5> kinda like Accounting...
<5> brrr....
<5> God those jerks loved to waste paper
<2> train's getting crowded.. I got to turn up volume.. ****ers are loud.
<4> XyZzY: hehe, yeah, we actually gave up on some US books there, wrote their own
<4> XyZzY: and Econometrics.... bah
<4> http://tinyurl.com/mfg7z
<2> I better don't open it.. /me got no UMTS here.
<4> that is one boring book
<4> Hardcover: 656 pages
<2> heh
<4> first chapter starts by why many doesn't choose Econometrics
<4> too technical, too much maths ..
<5> the real money is in publishing your own book that is required for your cl***
<4> XyZzY: yeah, my profs does that :)
<4> a somewhat interesting book we had last semester was written at Hardward
<4> the Harward Negotiation Project
<4> titled "Getting to YES"
<4> YES YES, OH GOD YES!!!
<2> 8)
<4> okay, enough fun about the title..
<2> =P
<6> K_F: Looks like you got there four times.
<4> hehe
<4> the one we had in the preceding semester, book from Copenhagen Business School was even better though, that one focused on different cultures though
<4> Gesterland, Hofstede and all those gurus...
<5> heh
<4> some interesting examples, and absolutely worth the read
<4> yoz: told you that I'll be having 96 ECTS credits next semester, right?
<2> K_F: yeah..
<4> ordinary semester is 30..
<4> should be fun
<0> stupid download has cut off 4 times now
<4> dogbert2: resume
<2> K_F: 96 sure is much.
<0> K_F...doesn't seem to want to werk...
<0> trying a wget now
<4> yoz: 60 of them are two 8 hour exams
<2> K_F: I wonder if I'm going to survive those 9 exams myself.. then I think of my next semester. ;)
<2> K_F: 8 hours? written work?
<4> 8 hours written exam, yes
<2> omg.
<4> like, 8 hours wednesday, and 8 hours friday
<4> and books have to be in the exam locals between
<2> fun though.
<4> to be checked
<4> well, you're only allowed to bring the law collection in the first place
