Normalcy

A sense of normalcy is back now, in that there are fewer people here today from what I have seen so far. For those of you who don't know UT Tyler's drop date was last Friday. If you're failing at this point, take the F, because that's all you'll get unless your professor is kind and will let you get an I to retake it for a grade. I digress. Beyond that UTTPD, blocked off half the parking lot in front of the Ratliff building today, not that I mind, I don't drive, but they blocked off almost all of the handicapped spots as well. Why on earth would you want to prevent the handicapped from parking? That is the dumbest thing I have ever heard. Again, normalcy though because if there is one thing UT Tyler never ceases to do it is make wonder who people can be so dumb.
I'll be honest too, IMHO, for some reason as people get more advanced degrees they tend to get a little stupider, not necessarily all of them, but definitely a majority percentage. Especially certain professors in the College of Business, although the Department of Computer Science definitely has a few interesting faculty members as well.

Campus Computing

Because I frequent the Campus Computing Center at such irregular intervals, or never, I found out yesterday that they had pc envy and had to rip the specs of Computer Science's new rigs because they had to have equal machines to our own.

A word however, their image is faulty, leaving personally identifiable information about the creator of the image, but I won't say anything more. Regardless a sloppy job none the less.

Sorry for not posting. I haven't posted in a while. I have been busy, expect interesting posts soon.

Microsoft + Yahoo! = Microhoo?

So, apparently Microsoft wants to initiate a takeover of Yahoo! with Cash and stock options for some $44.6 BILLION.

From the article:
"We have great respect for Yahoo!, and together we can offer an increasingly exciting set of solutions for consumers, publishers and advertisers while becoming better positioned to compete in the online services market," said Steve Ballmer, chief executive officer of Microsoft, in a press release Friday.

I just don't know. I mean I know Google is a threat to both of these two, but are things so bad? I didn't think they were. This is weird.
