I don't start until fall, but I'll be right down the street from you at Florida State. Sold all of my headphone gear a while ago and replaced it with speakers. I'll have to see how they work out in the dorm setting-might need to switch back.

If you loved Avatar in 3D, watch it in 2D and see how 3D was its only real merit. It'll probably win solely for its technological advancement, which may or may not be a good thing. I think Inglourious Basterds deserves it. Such a great story with excellent characters and a perfect atmosphere...

Just google: time in Sydney - Google Search

The use of the Papyrus font ruins it.

Just to clarify-is it undergraduate or graduate school that you're worried about? I'd say you have a decent chance for undergraduate just with what you've shown us so far. But just like Uncle Erik said, graduate schools will care more about your undergraduate experience than high school.

Where are you located? You say you have Bs and As, so your GPA shouldn't be horrible. Have you taken any standardized tests (that's what they're called in the US, not sure where you are)? Have you been involved in any extra-curricular activities? Now is the time that U.S. students are...

I sold all of my headphone gear a while ago for some speakers (see sig). I was getting tired of being restricted to one area for listening, and didn't find myself using the phones much. Now I can fill the house with music and also have great listening sessions from my dedicated listening spot if...

A lot of great recommendations, keep them coming! Quote: Originally Posted by DanielCox Richard Dawkins' The Enemies of Reason is a great documentary and an interesting look into the world of pseudoscience. Saw it and loved it, so I'll double that recommendation. Quote...

I'd like to create a list of documentaries that other Head-Fiers enjoy. I've recently realized that I watch far more documentaries than I do TV or movies. I mostly enjoy documentaries of the science and music genres. What are some great documentaries that you've seen lately? I watched...

I sold something on ebay to a guy in Beijing (I'm in the US). USPS was taking forever so the guy questioned me. I gave him the tracking # which never updated from it's original "Package has been processed" state. After about 2 weeks he filed a paypal complaint and paypal asked me for the...

I can hear 22000 Hz just fine.

My gamertag is agm2010. Lately I've just been playing Halo 3, sometimes I load up GTA4.

Graphicism, I googled a few of your "points" and a few came up verbatim on moon hoax sites. Why can't you build your own questions instead of blindly following like we sheep do?

Started using linux when debian etch went stable. Currently running Debian lenny, I'll probably switch to squeeze(the current testing version) in a year or so. I've tried a few other distros such as arch and opensuse. I just really like debian's package management and myriad of software in...

I hope you are joking. The show is not nor does it claim to be absolutely correct. In fact, I've seen interviews with cast members that say just that. The show is for entertainment purposes. If they really wanted to show their experimental prowess they wouldn't end each segment with their...

After reading tons of physics/cosmology literature and formulating visual pictures in my head I've come to like this model: (whether my interpretation is correct or not, I don't know.) Think of a sphere. A sphere has three dimensions. Now imagine some sort of creature that can only exist on...

Whether infinite or finite, it sure is big. Click to see just a small portion of its vastness.

Thanks everyone...lots of good information in here. Quote: Originally Posted by PerformanceFirst Are you going to be taking the first or 2nd AP CS course? I took the first one (computer science A I believe) just for kicks. I had a friend who was very smart and learned to code in...
