What the hell is with people who don't respond to "hello?" Said hello to my neighbor yesterday and he just looked at me, said nothing, then went into his apartment. A nod would suffice. Go fuck yourself neighbor guy.

i don't think i'd give 2 fucks if some other kid was making fun of my kid, but that's probably why i never want to be a parent and am generally a terrible person.

who ever decided to put textbooks online, I LOVE YOU.

Dear Java,

We aren't friends. I don't like you, but hey, we just met. Maybe we can turn this around?

Currently, I hate you,

Sincerely,

Soren

I hated Java (and by extension OOP) when I first started learning it, but I grew to have that be my language of choice, and learned to despise C. Now I'm learning iOS programming and kind of hated Objective C at first, but am starting to come around to it.

Unless we're talking about coffee, in which case ignore everything I just wrote.

We are going to be doing the same thing soon. We would have had it done by now but are upgrading the site that supports all the student/instructor resources. Seems like everyone is offering free online copies now, too.

Do you keep your books, is that why you don't exclusively buy/rent e-books?

Awesome

This is the first time I've tried renting, was recommended bookrenter.com but told that there's little to no chance of getting Math/Science books

Nah, I'm in the Schmidt's building. I'll say hello to the guy one more time and see how it goes. It just amazes me. Trying to have a society here, people.

Exactly Soren. I'm not into that sort of thing to begin with, trying to do it with five year olds is way over the top.

Yeah, def check out coursesmart. I think all publishers are on there now, and I see Math and Science in the subject list
