Hey, if you're cultured and sophisticated and love the NHL, turn on your TV.

The Leafs were 4-0 down to the Sens and now it's 4-3.

But there's been a couple of good fights already. Marian Hossa left the game after taking a puck in the face and bleeding all over the ice (worse than Berard did when Hossa hit him). Perrott gave Neil a hiding and several Sens are injured. And to top it all half the Sens are falling ill with the flu.

I'm praying that the Leafs take the lead and then smack the crap out of Alfredsson for good measure.

I see no two questions even slightly worded in there. Well - Looks as if the higher ups in this lucrative industry don't have to bother with such trivial bits as 1st year English

there's also a study which shows that those who graduate from elite colleges also tend to make more, regardless of their degrees.

The UofC's compsci department is one of the best in Canada. We also have quite famous alumni in the industry, including James Gosling (VP of Sun and inventor of Java). It's also one of the leading universities in North America for HCI (Human-Computer Interaction) and Cryptography.

UBC's compsci department is terrible.

It's annoying but not useless. Variety in language allows you to express the many shades of your feelings, whereas a limited vocabulary cannot render the actual complexity of the feelings surrounding the information.

Half the PhD came from Hull uni actually, but point taken. Things certainly haven't worked out well, from being exploited and in a position to do very little about it, to moving and being f**ked over by another employer in a quite brutal manner. So my advice? Don't go into science as a career (direct lab work), it is the noveau sh*t-shovelling...except you probably get paid less.

Haven't you figured out yet that EVERY school in Canada claims to have the "top program" for EVERY discipline?

Carleton made itself off to be some kind of Harvard and then I got here and, yeah... its not.

Who says I don't have a wide vocabulary?

There's a difference between having one and needlessly using it to try to appear more intelligent. Real intelligent people see through that...

quote: Haven't you figured out yet that EVERY school in Canada claims to have the "top program" for EVERY discipline?

Thanks for the insight, but I don't think the UofC claims to be the "top program" for anything. I'm saying the UofC's compsci is good, based on figures like the annual ACM Programming Championships where the UofC, UofT, and Waterloo tend to be the only universities to even qualify for the finals.

Then there's also the profs that we've been buying up from Waterloo, Caltech, MIT, etc. with the oil money ("ACCESS" program) since Ralphie is big on making Alberta and ICT province.
