archermoo Posted June 12, 2007 Report Share Posted June 12, 2007 Re: Longest Running Thread EVER Maybe it has something to do with Default and non-Default page settings. Loads just fine for me and I use the maximum posts per page setting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cancer Posted June 13, 2007 Report Share Posted June 13, 2007 Re: Longest Running Thread EVER Well, the grades don't get released to them for another few hours. All this means at this point is that there's no one who simultaneously got a bad grade and has hacked the registrar's system for read access only.

lemming Posted June 14, 2007 Report Share Posted June 14, 2007 Re: Longest Running Thread EVER I once fell asleep in class and woke up midway through the next one. Confused the heck out of me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cancer Posted June 15, 2007 Report Share Posted June 15, 2007 Re: Longest Running Thread EVER I've drowsed through seminars and colloquia (that is, talks that weren't a class) but not classes. But I'm a person who tends to have difficulty falling asleep unless I'm exhausted, more so when I was younger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

During boring ones in large (200+ person) settings I had no problems bringing something to read. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cancer Posted June 15, 2007 Report Share Posted June 15, 2007 Re: Longest Running Thread EVER I tend to doodle, write, or do back-of-the-envelope calculations when my attention wanders. I always take a writing pad and pen to talks. It's good form to take notes, and as long as the speaker can't tell you're doodling rather than taking notes, then everyone's happy.

death tribble Posted June 21, 2007 Report Share Posted June 21, 2007 Re: Longest Running Thread EVER On the subject of reading in class my father once pulled a stunt on one of his teachers. The class were in rows in desks and the teacher would wander up and down them silently every now and again in the lesson. My father had the book they were studying on his desk and another copy of the same book in his lap and he was reading this copy following the lesson. The teacher noticed that he was reading something in his lap and came down to grab the book. Which to his surprise he found was the text book they were following. He asked my father a direct question about the subject following on from what they had been reading and was he was able to answer him directly. Some classes later my father was reading a book in his lap that was not part of the course with the text book on the desk and the teacher (another one) noticed. He called out tp my dad and said he was not going to be caught in the same way as his colleague. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cancer Posted June 21, 2007 Report Share Posted June 21, 2007 Re: Longest Running Thread EVER This "reading the wrong book in class" stuff is something I never saw any instructor call anybody about, and something I'd never call anyone on. All too often the "reading" of extraneous books that I see in class is someone checking in an English-to-X translation dictionary. Yes, the fraction of foreign students can get pretty high.

AliceTheOwl Posted June 28, 2007 Report Share Posted June 28, 2007 Re: Longest Running Thread EVER Girl Genius's webcomic site is giving the error message "too much bandwidth used". I didn't know you read Girl Genius. You're probably better off waiting until tomorrow's update. Yesterday's was all cliffhangery, and made me antsy and anxious to know what happens next.

Cancer Posted June 28, 2007 Report Share Posted June 28, 2007 Re: Longest Running Thread EVER Yeah, I've got all the GG paper issues and collection volumes, and I read it on-line now. I got my daughter a "Girl Genius" t-shirt (that's all it says, with some gears). I missed it yesterday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
