He started getting a bit demanding and the HP guys got one of the co-founders of NVIDIA on the phone so Professor iPad could tell him directly he wants a tesla card with 24 gigs of ram by winter.

AUGH! Don't tell me that poo poo! :ughh:

In hopefully the last update about hell job/chronicles of professor iPad. . .

It appears they are going to settle with me for 60 weeks at 30 hours overtime per week at time and a half.

Welp, I'm gonna be in another tax bracket for a year.

Is that a significant chunk of money for where you live?

Bravo, you totally ignored the likely scenario that the AC Adapter port got jacked, or something similar. Pat yourself on the back when she comes back with another defective battery and you have to lie to not look stupid.

I think the implication of his post is that he realized his mistake.

My recipe for a "Bluetooth":
Mash a handful of blueberries in an old fashioned glass. Pour in equal parts Vodka (Ed Phillips and Sons Prairie Organic Vodka) and Rum (Mount Gay Rum). Top with ice and forget about your day.

I'm exactly the opposite, I can read paper all day, but a computer screen? I just can't concentrate. I need the physical copy in front of me.

I don't think you understand the modern grad student. . . they want to print off 500 pages per day and not have to pay a dime. Then one day they become post docs, and while I've come across a few good post docs in my time, a lot of them go around acting like they already have tenure and if you don't restrict it, you'll end up with poo poo like the 3 weeks of having to constantly reset a printer everytime professor iPad took his laptop out of sleep on campus.

Kill All Grad Students.

And even in those random cases where wireless-n is faster, I still just don't like to clutter up the airwaves if I can help it.

When someone sent an e-mail to a list rms is on about their lost Kindle asking if anybody was looking for it, he threw a shitfit because of the ~*DRM*~.

I mean I dislike DRM as much as the next tech guy but come on.

I would kill for a link to this. I love to read RMS tantrums while I drink.
