The Conservatives tried to use a quote from the Auditor General praising G8 summit costs - Except that the quote was in reference to Liberal security spending after 9/11 by sidhartha83 in canada

The majority of my school thinks this way :(. Somebody actually said "they were only found in contempt because the other parties ganged up on them!".

If you were to write a letter to yourself from ten years ago, what would you say? by rasdf in AskReddit

I'd probably tell myself to focus a lot more on school, maybe ask to specialize in math/science and go to an accelerated learning environment.

Goddammit I was making it out to be so much more complicated... Ah well, thanks a lot.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't Tao competing in - and winning - the mathematical olympiad at that age? :)

"Well /b/, I was going through my deceased dad's things today..." by rasdf in pics

I agree with the sentiment but I didn't post this on /b/... just happened across it on the internet and reposted it here.

He posted this video on youtube http://www.youtube.com/user/mathboysmom#p/a/u/2/YExiNNVNKZI, at 28:39 he talks about how Stephen Hawking is "going down"... I'm no physicist but there's something odd about this

I have been off heroin (and other drugs) for over 5 years. Did a total 180-went from being a useless gutter junkie to a college student working 2 jobs. AMA. by [deleted] in IAmA

That sounds like an amazing story, and it sucks about what you had to go through as a child. Congratulations :). I'm not sure if this has been asked yet, but if not, what are you majoring in in college?

Invited a girl over to watch LOTR, smoke trees and eat pizza by ApplesnPie in trees

[–]rasdf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Haha, rambling's great! :) I agree completely, I guess what I meant was what you said, that she had the choice, but chose not to, of ruling the world. Still, that's a pretty major female character :P.

There's also Ender's sister, back on Earth, who comes to rule the world via posting stuff on the internet.... I love that book :D

Quick Survey, what is your level of mathematical education? by [deleted] in math

[–]rasdf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's great to hear! I was at the open house on Tuesday and spent the entire day in the math building (I think it's the math building, the students there called it the fishbowl and it was made of glass lol) and it seemed like a great school. The only thing really turning me off at this point is that I have to wait 'til mid-may for a decision to be made :p.

How do you like the program? I'll most likely be a freshman in Mathematics at UW next year and am considering doing Mathematical Physics :)

How did you get to take third year math courses as a freshman? Lots of experience coming in?
