      <description><![CDATA[Just wondering...<br /><br />How long do you guys wait until you meet your girlfriend or boyfriend's parents? I mean, like OFFICIALLY meeting them (e.g. Get together to have a dinner, officially announce (maybe the word "announce is a little too strong) that you're his/her gf/bf.) And, do you buy anything when you FIRST meet his/her parents officially? :confused:]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[I don't know what class teaches stuff like this, but did you ever notice the similarities between the human brain and computers?? The parts are all there, the mechanism appears to be similar, and it's dynamic.  The biggest/most glaring difference would be that computers are machines whereas the brain is organic matter.  Brains and computers both "process" things...whats a process...a connection of random electrons/peices of information/ideas.  So the secret to improving computers would be to further study the brain and see which advantages it has. Therefore, I don't think artificial intelligence would be a software program as we invision it now, but an integrated set of processors, with fluid (water?) communication among them keeping in mind heat/size (thermal) restrictions.  Anyone following me?]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[The best breakfast restaurant in the GVRD is a place on W17 and Cambie called, "The Wooden Shoe."  It's a dutch restaurant and mostly sells pannekoek for a pretty good price.  If you decided to go there and try it, order number twenty-six off of the menu which is a pannekoek with eggs, bacon, sausage, ham, and hashbrowns on it.  You then roll it up and put hollandaise sauce on top.<br /><br />As well, a bit away from SFU, between Langely and Surrey in the Port Kells area is a deli called, "La Charcuterie" and for no more than $6 you can get a sub about a foot in length with meat two inches thick, plus all the vegetables and cheeses that you want.<br /><br />Just a heads up if you are in those areas and hungry.]]></description>

      <title>Organ Donation</title>

      <description><![CDATA[I just got done talking with someone upset about the talks to convert organ donation from opt-in to opt-out.  In other words, right now people are assumed to not want to be organ donors, and have to go out of their way to become one.  The new legislation would be the opposite.<br /><br />I have to ask: how selfish do you have to be, to oppose this, hm?  Now, I'm a libertarian.  I propose more personal liberty and personal control than most people are comfortable with.  But even I can see that that stops at death.<br /><br />You think your body is sacred?  Well, FU then.  Seriously.  I mean, as a society, could we please stop respecting these beliefs?  How many times have I heard people wax on about their retarded views on the sanctity of the body and thought "that's illegal"?<br /><br />Because, it is, you know.  It is <b>illegal</b> to bury someone intact.  They MUST be embalmed, by law.  So.  Those organs are coming out either way.  The non-donor simply says "I would like my organs to be removed in such a fashion as they are useless to my fellow man, and will eventually be incinerated."  And to that I simply say: "You're a jackass."<br /><br />Civil liberties do no extend to the dead.  A man may not cite his human rights to justify a wish that his body be prominently displayed in the town square, much less attack those who oppose this by saying that it's a part of his religious doctrine.  We require corpses to be disposed of, either by cremation, burrial, or a very specific hermetic process like Walt Disney is (falsely) rumoured to have done.  This is because corpses are a health risk.  We say "no, I don't care what you want, you can't endanger people."  How about we amend that statement to include the deliberate withholding of aid?<br /><br />We already don't respect people's plans for their corpses, if those wishes don't run in line with our preception of the public good.  I don't care if it necessitates the negation of religious wishes.  If someone doesn't want their organs to help their fellow man, how about we call that person names, then take them anyway, hmm?]]></description>

It's called "Introduction to the Internet and the World Wide Web"<br />If anybody has taken it, I wanted to know how the final exam is (and the midterm).  The prof is greg baker.

      <description><![CDATA[When discussing plans to apply to grad school with my adviser, she recommended I take some time off after undergrad. She said that students that did so were generally considered to be more serious applicants because they weren't applying to grad school for lack of any other plans, and that I would be able to spend more time on the application process (and would have my thesis completed, etc.). My question is, I was planning on deferring repayment of my student loans during grad school, and if I take off a year, I obviously won't have this option (at least for the time I've taken off). For those of you who have taken off time, how did you manage juggling other financial responsibilities in addition to repaying student loans?]]></description>
