My freshman year (when I lived on campus) the Provo mayor's website was blocked for a while. I had a rather entertaining email conversation with the OIT in which I requested it be unblocked, they denied that it was blocked, I pointed out that it was indeed blocked, and they never answered, though it...

I think they're fools.

But that's just me.

Also, I don't think very many RMs are like that. Of course, my sample is somewhat biased--they RMs I spend the most time with are my roommates, and they're awesome.

If anybody does want a ride from me, send me a pm. Maybe with your phone number or something.

I'll probably be coming around 6 or 7, and I can give a ride to anyone who needs one about that time.

During 11th and 12th grades I had a two year history course, which was geographically focused on European History, temporally focused on the 20th century, and thematically focused on single-party states, particularly the USSR under Stalin, and decolonization and the problems facing new states. All b...

I'd just like to say that I absolutely love the graphic Cognoscente posted. I'm going to save it, and next time somebody accuses Obama of being communist and then a Nazi in consecutive weeks I'm going to use it to mock them mercilessly, because that's what they deserve.

Thank you, Cognoscente.

As long as we've decided to resurrect a dead thread to talk about obscure favorite hymns, I'm a huge fan of #80. The words are by Rudyard Kipling, it's been quoted in General Conference, and yet I can't remember a single time ever singing it at church. If I ever have a calling where I get to choose ...

Unfortunately, my cupcake-making skills are already reserved for Saturday night. I don't think I'm going to be in the mood for making them Friday night too. The only thing I make on a regular basis is bread, and that's just because I like eating it so much. Making the same thing twice in a row is re...

I'm in! This Friday should be fine for me.

Lexi was very young, but she wasn't a freshman. She started writing at the beginning of her sophomore year (I'm personally acquainted with her, after a manner of speaking).

I can't find any options for turning HTML on or off on the little test board I set up for myself, but if there isn't an option for limiting what attributes can be used, and our admins are able to enter new bbcodes, it's trivially easy to write a bbcode to do it.

I was thinking just the other day that it would be nice to have bbcode to link to questions, like <^(number)> does on the board itself. Shouldn't be too difficult, either. Maybe I'll try to whip something up. Assuming that our admins can add new BBcodes. I understand they don't have complete control...

That's because the number of digits in a positive integer x is floor(log (whatever base you're working in) (x))+1. A number in binary will have approximately log 2 (10) = 3.32192809 times as many digits as the same number in decimal. Obviously, the approximately is only really good for numbers with ...

The question is not whether the elements obey God, and nothing we've been talking about has anything to do with God ceasing to be God. The question is whether the elements choose to obey. That's certainly a valid question, and is certainly not a "basic tenet" of our faith.= Now, back to yo...

I've studied quantum physics at a (very) basic level, and I'm well aware of the non-deterministic nature of it. But I don't read anything about choice in Abraham 4:18. The way I read it, the elements obeyed in the same way that I obey the laws of physics. For better or for worse, I can't choose whet...

I am in full agreement with everything Damasta said. I'm just going to go on a little tangentially-related side rant. In Institute one week our teacher asserted that elementary particles have agency, based on Abraham 4:18 (and other verses in that chapter): And the Gods watched those things which th...

Fixed for me.

My only suggestion (without looking at the code) is to go to line 443 of index.php (assuming you can edit that file) and changing SELECT t.* FROM phpbb_topics t WHERE t.topic_id = to SELECT t.* FROM phpbb_topics as t WHERE t.topic_id = or maybe SELECT * FROM phpbb_topics as t WHERE t.topic_id = or t...

Oh, nothing really exceptional happened. C and I showed up and another guy who is a mutual friend of sorts of ours but, to the best of my knowledge, is not among the boardfolk. We sat and talked and played card games (Monopoly Deal and Scrabble Slam). No passerby[1] were injured by flying projectile...

Well, that was fun.
