Cancer Posted October 17, 2018 Report Share Posted October 17, 2018 Give a man a computer program and you give him a headache, but teach him to program computers and you give him the power to create headaches for others for the rest of his life.

Cancer Posted October 25, 2018 Report Share Posted October 25, 2018 Advice for Undergraduates Timeless for the most part, though it obviously dates to an era before everyone had a cell phone.

Cancer Posted October 25, 2018 Report Share Posted October 25, 2018 Item 7 in part 2 is one I have never had to expand upon to a student. I have been careful never to look and see who blushes when I tell that one to a class (and I have told classes that several times). There are things you really, really don't want to know.

Cancer Posted October 30, 2018 Report Share Posted October 30, 2018 Before you schedule a unit to move into their appointed space in a new building, check with the fire marshal first to ensure he will allow the whole unit to move into that space. Waiting to make this check until the day before the move is to occur is only slightly better than not making the check ahead of time at all.
