hey Paras, do you still have that copy of "Control Room"? i think i might need to borrow it to extract that quote from Josh Rushing or whatever his name is, concerning the use of Smart Bomb weapons in the Iraqi campaign
thanks

crap, I decreased Canada's score by 0.002%. Oh well, as they said: "50% = You're above average, but you shouldn't settle for above average." You know what's really awesome? The first time I tried it, it crashed, so it didn't give me a final score. The fuckers wouldn't let me locate Kuwait on the map, even when I clicked on it, bastards. But in other news, I love guessing correctly. Cape Verde?? who knew it was in South America? I mean really? Or Mali in central Africa... also another shocker. I guess I just don't know very much... but you all already knew that, didn't you?
ha ha! and for those of you who have no clue what I'm talking about... it's Geography Olympics, and the link is a page back.
um... Paras, are you worried about getting caught up in some copyright infringement? Can they actually sue you for running something like this where the users (ought to) know that everything is just hearsay and people's personal opinions, no one is selling anything and they sure as hell aren't using links to make profits? Just curious. I guess I'll have to check the link and see...

ChillingEffects.org provides many FAQs about legal issues and internet, including, for example, linking (specifically, whether trademark and copyright issues come up when linking to another site.) It's an interesting read, and I feel somewhat relevant here.

I still don't understand how you generate the numbers, but I got the message:
"003 ALRIGHT PAR, SEE IF THIS IS A LITTLE LESS CUMBERSOME TO USE."
I don't feel I deserve the reward mentioned in the previous message, as I had a lot of hints, so if anyone wants to translate Beck's previous numerical effort, it may be worth your while.

Slow down John Nash jr. or you might start writing on the windows! I guess you could go more crazy like getting paranoid about the government stealing your code and using it for their own evil ends... However your putting your code up on the web so I guess that whole thing about secreacy is out the window.

Alright, Par
See if this is a little less cumbersome to use.

It's related to the last one... but a minor change made it much easier to encode and decipher but with the same benefits of potential multiple substitutions as the last one. I didn't do any multiples in this because I was lazy.

I know none of you will give a shit about this, but I'm absolutely ecstatic. I feel like I just won the fucking lottery over here, you have no idea. So here goes:
First, a few facts.
1. I've attended my Social & Cultural Psychology class (psych 305) less than any other class this year.
2. I handed in the first take-home midterm worth 30% of my mark 2-and-a-half weeks late.
3. I handed in the second take-home midterm worth another 30% of my mark half a week late.
4. In the second midterm, I didn't answer the last question, nor did I provide a bibliography.
And you know what that gets you? I'll tell you what that gets. It gets you a big fat mark of 93% and 95% respectively!!!! Oh wait, what's class average again? 75% and 76%.
BAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!! I LOVE IT!!!!!!! I went to the class maybe 9 times this year and if I quit now I'd still pass!!!! YEAAAAAAH!!!!! Sometimes I fuckin LOVE university. Actually, that's a lie. I still have 2 papers to finish this week. One of which is a week late as of today. FUCK.
BUT YEAH, ME!!!! w00t!
