MFTTW: wah lau eh, you're being subtle again! what did i say about being subtle!?!??!!

...

there is nothing in the undergrad mentality that makes them good postgrad researchers actuall

well firstly, all of them take research either 1) for credit 2) for fellowship (i.e. money) or 3) to look good on resume

therfore they are not invested in the actual results; i.e. whether hte experiments worked or not
thus they don't give a shit

secondly, they don't have the necessary training yet to do research
they haven't taken enough classes to know what's going on

Me: so only take people doing thesis lah

MFTTW: yeah i did that.
but your thesis isn't dependent on the experiment working
you just have to write it up

the point is they have no motivation
so, if you get a hardworking undergrad, even if unmotivated they will work hard, so that's ok


Someone: i am jealous
u alwasy are able to talk to girls

"wah lau eh, you're being subtle again! what did i say about being subtle!?!??!!"

i am sure a girl said this in a flirting kind of way
like: oh gabriel, wah lau eh, you're being subtle again!
[giggle giggle]

what did i say about being subtle?!?!?!?!?! [giggle more]

okay


Someone else: i was complaining to acidflask about how the local blogosphere has mostly gone to seed, pace the john rieman soong doctrine, and saying how i will announce my withdrawal from the local blogosphere through an Article of Secession

i said to acidflask: after that, i shall continue blogging. without needing to feel the public duty to slam the gahment, the national council of christian ayatollahs, or the GST or minilee

i shall become an agagooga style blogger

damn mac whores

Someone else: sigh
they don't understand, when it comes to gaming, your mac is so completely inferior

that's why i have a powerful desktop windows machine
dual-screen goodness

muhahahahah

Me: not just the availability of titles limitation?

Someone else: put it this way
a G4 mac with a geforce 6800 performs slower than a windows PC with a geforce 6800 in DOOM

if you've been inside the development branch of macs, you'l know developers have been clamouring for better graphics card support for a long, long time

apple just doesn't listen
until john carmack wants to port his latest game onto the mac

even on the new intel macbook pros, if you wanna play games the best way to do it is to install windows onto your mac
