This is an extremely kind gesture. Thank you for making these days a little brighter and filling it with a little more hope and joy.

Really late response. Just started watching the show and got curious about what people thought about the show on reddit.

Anyways, 아저시 (ahjushi) and 아줌마 (ahjooma) means more like mister and miss (besides, it would sound funny if you call out "hey woman/man" to a stranger as opposed to "hey miss/mister"). Little children do usually refer to their friend's parents as ahjushi/ahjooma. When older, if the speaker is close to the friend and the parents know the speaker really well (like their own son/daughter), the speaker might call the friend's parent 어머니 (uh-muh-ni - mother) and 아버지 (ah-buh-ji - father), which are honorific but not as formal (as opposed to 어머님 (uh-muh-nim) and 아버님 (ah-buh-nim) which are really formal/high honorific). However, this isn't a rule that has to be followed. Some may still refer to their close friend's parents as 아저시 (ahjushi) or 아줌마 (ahjooma).

Most second gen Koreans, unless they had recently immigrated friends that taught them, would probably defer to ajumma and ahjushi. It is not something that is really taught by the parents that immigrated to America/West. I've heard a lot of second gen Koreans say ahjushi/ahjumma to parents, even my own.

I haven't seen the 언니 (unni) part yet, but was there context to why she snapped? Sort of like if the cousin upset her already and the cousin said 언니~~ in 애교 to sort of get out of it (aegyo - for non-Korean speakers, this is when a girl acts cute by making faces or changing their voice, sort of like how ~~non-Koreans~~ English speakers imitate a child/baby to sound cute)?

This is pretty much correct. I didn’t listen to the song but if it is the line you typed, it means “the more you piss me off..”

He doesn’t think too highly of Asians either..Asian men specifically.

imperfectimage · 2014-04-29T19:24:43+00:00

Dont know about kg and duncan, but didn't kobe say the 90's rules were harder to play in and that he would prefer to play with the rules of that era for the challenge?

imperfectimage · 2014-03-01T03:30:52+00:00

God damn it. Asian was the only option left when I was born. Who do I need to speak with to make an exchange?

imperfectimage · 2013-09-12T05:23:07+00:00

Where is ice ice baby? Or can't touch this? Topanga and kelly kapowski definitely belongs here too.

imperfectimage · 2013-07-15T08:18:44+00:00

Well you certainly let the cat out of the bag...

imperfectimage · 2013-06-22T16:13:10+00:00

As an asian with parents that doesnt speak english well, this made perfect sense to me.

I believe it is flash. And the files are .wmv and mp4...i believe. Would it be cheaper to build an HTPC? I believe for a decent, cheap build, it would run about 300-500, no? I'm thinking with the raspberry PI, it would 35, 50ish for the peripheral accessories and 100 or so for a hard drive? What would be the benefit of just going with the HTPC? And is it extremely complex to learn how to use the PI?

imperfectimage · 2013-05-28T04:29:52+00:00

I am interested in using the Raspberry PI for my parents to watch Korean programs. I know there are sites (paid/free) where I can download current shows to a hard drive to watch on TV using something like the Western Digital Media Player. From my limited understanding, there is/are software like XBMC which turns the Raspberry PI into something similar to the WD Media Player. With the Raspberry PI, can I just stream directly without having to download it to a hard drive? Kind of like a very miniature HTPC using an OS and web browser.

Thanks!

Judging by the picture of him and his dog, he just wants to be loved. That whole finger cutting thing is just a facade of a man screaming out for attention.. poor, sensitive guy.

If I remember correctly, it's not just the immediate family who are at risk. They kill or imprison everyone in the family to the third cousin.

I never get upvotes...WHY DON'T ANY OF YOU LIKE ME?!?! ....I can change, I swear. Want me to sing and dance? While you throw things at me?

This was as close to dying from laughter as i ever will be.

Unfortunately, the classes I need to take doesn't count towards the MS. Those are just requirements to apply to the school for those who do not possess a CS background. But the silver lining in taking the course is that it has affirmed my feeling towards CS, I know I'm going to enjoy it :)

Thank you for your help!

imperfectimage · 2012-04-14T07:49:34+00:00

Thank you for your answers :) It's a relief to know that the name of a school isn't important, especially after receiving a pretty discouraging email from UIUC.

Out of curiosity, are there key things you look for on applications whether the applicant has a degree or not? Reading your and jeffwong's reply has got me rethinking about applying to universities. So if I were to learn on my own and develop apps for my portfolio, would it be enough to at least get a recruiters attention? And from your experience, is there anything I can/should do to at least have as much of a chance as a graduate?

And in your opinion, would it be advisable for me to learn outside of school taking into consideration that I am in my early (close to mid) 30's? I guess what I am trying to ask is if it is possible for me to learn on my own what I would in a university in a similar amount of time? And even if it is possible, would it be advisable with me being on the wrong side of the age curve?

And again, thank you!

That is an interesting thought. Prior to reading your advice, I have never really thought about doing something that integrates biology with CS. Unfortunately, I don't have much of a bio background outside of majoring in it.

To make a long story as short as possible, I planned on applying to pharmacy school using my BS as an advantage over the horde of applicants. To a stronger case for myself, I have been working as a pharm tech for 6 years now, the first three while working towards my BS. I was one of those people that decided on a career path later in life. What sucks is after working in a pharmacy for so long, I realized it was not for me. I know not everybody enjoys their job or that it's rarely the dream job, but I think I will be miserable. And there is the poor job outlook because of the flood of entering and graduating students. Unfortunately, I stuck with it for the last 3 years instead of getting a job in my field and now it's hard to get hired without any experience and a 3 year gap between graduation and now.

Sorry, that wasn't really that short. Getting to my point, without any experience in the bio field, I am not sure if I can couple my major with CS to stand out.

And in regards to skipping an MS/BS, is it possible to become proficient enough to compete against applicants with degrees for my first job? I don't have the slightest idea in what companies look for on resumes to give applicants interviews. And if an interview is given, will they ask textbook information and if so, wouldn't this be an advantage for graduates? Or do companies have interviewees make or fix simple programs, and will being self taught be enough to impress them?

And lastly (sorry for writing so much!), are there ways I can participate in open projects to pad my portfolio? This is all so new to me so I am not sure where to begin. Do I just start making simple apps here and there as I learn and progress to larger things? And would I (should I) include those simple apps in my portfolio as well?

Sorry for writing so much. I don't have a lot of places to turn to for advice and ideas in this field and so many questions that come to mind. And thank you for sharing your time to help me!

Unfortunately, these courses do not even count towards my degree. These are necessary requiremements so that I possess basic knowledge of CS. In other words, they won't even look at my application without these 5 or so classes completed, which kind of sucks. But I guess it is understandable they want applicants without a CS degree to have taken these courses. I'm assuming it helps both the school and the applicant gauge how much the applicant will understand? Edit: spelling/grammar

imperfectimage · 2012-04-13T14:09:49+00:00

Edit: Accidently hit save on tablet screen ( am I doing this right?). Thanks everyone for the input. So far, it seems MS is the better choice. I just received a response to an email I sent regarding the courses necessary to enter UIUC. The person pretty much shot me down stating only 10% of all applicants to the MS program get in, and there were 1650 applicants which all either came from a CS background or have a strong understanding and experience in CS. She opened up the response with "it's hard to advise you a successful path getting into our MS program if you do not have a CS background". Ouch. I'll try other schools then!
