To-Do Item: Raise Tuition Fees

• Re: Hey there. Apr 17, 2007, 10:18 am
  
  
  I'm tired of UMSU messing around where they shouldn't. I'm all for affordable tuition, but when the lack of funding starts to affect the quality of education, raising tuition should be seriously considered.
  
  Demanding the freeze (or cheaper) regardless of how much funding is given by the government is greedy and makes it seem like you dont care about the value of your education.
  
  Ask any student and they will tell you that the facilities and classes need improvement....

  Yupper! The university offers both a POP3 and IMAP service for your email. The difference between POP3 and IMAP is that with POP3 it downloads the messages and stores them on the computer that you're using to read your email.
  
  If you use IMAP, it keeps all of your email on the server so that you can view it from multiple computers and webmail without having to worry about which computer downloads your mail. The only disadvantage to using IMAP is that you have to worry about...

  Didn't you see those two movies, Deep Impact and Armageddon? The solution is obviously to send up a crack oil drilling team and have them dig a hole and drop a nuke to split the big asteroid open.
  
  Alternatively, we could start building a big underground shelter for our best scientists and a lottery selection of citizens to populate.
  
  More seriously, I've heard recently that NASA is planning missions to test the feasibility of altering the course of an asteroid...
  
  

To-Do Item: Watch less TV

• Re: Solution Oct 16, 2006, 9:25 am
  
  
  I don't watch alot of broadcast TV, but I do download most of the shows that I like to watch. What typically happens is that I'll forget about it for a couple weeks or a month and then I'll download like 10 episodes and I won't be able to not watch them all at once.
  
  For instance, last weekend I rememberd this new sci-fi show that was coming out called Eureka, so I went online and downloaded the first 12 hour long epsiodes. Let's just say that by the end of the weekend I was looking for something else to watch. he he he....

  It should be noted that the cafeteria in fishereis does not entirely serve fish. Very little fish, actually, only once a week (fridays usually?) do they have fish specials. They really have a good clubhouse sandwich special (not sure which day, I think it changes from week to week) that includes fries and coleslaw for < $5....

  The new engineering building is supposed to have a green roof on certain sections. They were planning on putting up this super genetically modified grass that groes under absolutely any conditions and never needs to be watered fertilized or seeded.
  
  Not sure if they ran out of money or not before reaching that part though. he he he

  Ok... I've tried to follow your instructions. But my stove didn't have some of the buttons and widgets that you seemed to be describing, so I sorta improvised.
  
  My stove has a big round element (?), but there's water in the middle.. And there was no knobs, but this little thing that I could sorta move up and down.
  
  I pushed it down so that it would pre-heat the element, and all of a sudden the water in the middle started going crazy.
  
  I figured that maybe it was...

  We've learned a lot from our mistakes with regard to nuclear power.
  
  Firstly, Chernobyl was a poorly designed reactor. They used treated water as a coolant, which has (I believe I have the term right) a positive void coefficient. What this means is that when it heats up beyond a certain temperature, bubbles can form. When a bubble forms on the threshold of the reactor and the coolant, that local area increases in temperature because there is no longer any coolant making...

  I realize that. I don't personally refuse to change, but then again, I don't consider myself the "Average Joe". From what I've observed, people are willing to recognize the environmental impact of our ways, but are always looking to offload the responsibility to somebody else.
  
  The average joe solution for global warming is to trade in their gas guzzling auto for a hybrid or electric car. While it can be debated whether or not this actually helps in the long...
