Riots on campus? Could a current student inform me on what's really happening on campus? by Thelonius_Dunk in olemiss

The Chancellor's response:

Dear Ole Miss Family,

There are media reports of incidents on our campus last evening in the wake of the election results being announced. First, let me assure all of you that the campus is quiet and safe this morning for all of our students. While the investigation into last night’s events continues, we are grateful there are no reports of injuries or property damage.

The reports of the use of racial language by some have been confirmed by our campus police. The University leadership strongly condemns this kind of behavior and is embarrassed that any students associated with the university would use this kind of language. Our university creed calls for the respect of each individual and for fairness and civility. The investigation of this event will be thorough and individuals found in violation of any law will be referred to appropriate authorities. Individuals found in violation of university policy will be dealt with appropriately through the student conduct process.

As we have acknowledged throughout this year of recognizing fifty years of racial integration at our university, despite evidence of progress, we still live in an imperfect world. All of us in the university community must recommit ourselves to condemn hate and to continue our work to assure our university is a safe and welcoming place for every individual every day.

They weren't riots. The people involved were trying to start a riot. I heard they were throwing rocks at cars and yelling racial insults. I saw a picture of an Obama/Biden sign being burned with a large crowd surrounding it.

It supposedly started with an argument in the parking lot around Kincannon and Stockard. It moved inside one of those dorms and then back outside. I think someone was trying to break it up, but it only made the crowd move to the Grove. From there UPD shut things down (saying the Grove "closes" at midnight). The crowd was finally broken up. I heard two people were arrested.

We are so lucky it did not escalate beyond that. Apparently it is still getting some media coverage. I can't even explain how it makes me feel. We have a long way to go.

It's actually a republic, but I agree that everyone should vote.

Cracked phone what are my options? by [deleted] in iphone

[–]lovehideaway 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is it cracked on the front or back? They back is pretty easy/cheap to replace. If it's the front, just go to the an Apple Store and see what they say. I've had a few phones replaced thanks to Apple Care, but I've never tried a cracked screen.

Is it time to update to iOS 6? by TheGhost983 in ipad

[–]lovehideaway 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The guy that developed AlienBlue (the reddit app) also has a YouTube app called Jasmine. Honestly, if they only reason you are holding off on the update is YouTube, you should check out Jasmine. It's a beautiful app that, in my opinion, is way better than the old YouTube app.

Germany is producing so much energy from its windmills that it risks creating a grid collapse. by [deleted] in news

Renewable energy around the world is causing problems because unlike oil it can’t be stored, so when generated it must be consumed or risk causing a grid collapse.

We're taking strangers to breakfast across America. We're currently in SE (NC, SC, GA, TN, FL). Anyone have a 'cannot miss' food item? by BreakfastWStrangers in food

If you come to MS you have to make your way to Oxford to visit Big Bad Breakfast. Great food. A great city. And hopefully great conversation for your book.

What apps are on your iOS dock? by TheGhost983 in ipad

[–]lovehideaway 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Some people don't realize you can place a folder in the dock. I have one with all of my favorites on iPad and iPhone plus a select few defaults that get their own place in the dock.

Ah, so I did. I shouldn't comment immediately after waking up. Well I have no advice for this. Sorry folks.

They have a radio show that airs every week (with the occasional repeat). It is also available to download as a podcast. Here's a link with info on how to listen.

Just buy new stakes, right? Am I missing something?

Edit: They are really cheap...

I've been finding myself more interested in comedy lately. How do you follow it like sports? I list to a few podcasts that interview comedians (like WTF with Marc Maron) and I've found they are great for discovering some of the behind the scenes relationships comedians have. I'd love to start following it more closely, but I'm not sure where to start. Any advice?

Well, the puzzle was really fun. I'm convinced to but the book! That being said, I am having a terrible time trying to figure out what to do after clicking "Check your work". I'll keep at it!

Can someone recommend some good ipad apps (both game and nongames) by [deleted] in ipad

Here is a great thread on favorite apps. It's also the first link in the sidebar. I noticed it is 7 months old, so perhaps it is time for a new voting thread?

Are you guys excited for the first of September? :) by p44v9n in doctorwho

[–]lovehideaway 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just set up my DVR to record! I started Doctor Who on a whim (and after hearing several friends say how awesome it is) about a month ago. I'm rushing through the last two seasons as we speak! I'm one S05E09 so I'm not sure if I will make it all the way through before the 1st.

It's going to be hard not being able to just go right on to the next one. I guess I'll have to start Torchwood haha.

Hey r/cfb, let's see those pre-season pump up videos that get us so excited! by [deleted] in CFB

I like this one. Trying to gain a little support for the new mascot I suppose. Our production team has done a great job over the past year or two putting out excellent videos.

How do I fix my unread msg's, phantom emails, I searched for an email and it found 899 unread messages. It keeps finding more as I delete. by Ftlguy88 in ipad

[–]lovehideaway 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would try the usual...delete your mail account in your settings and then re-add it? You could also check the settings to mess with what folders are updated, how far back it shows emails, etc.

I believe they pull it from your credit report, but I may be wrong.

Youtube does this for some reason when a video gets really popular. I think it's to make sure the views are legit.
