icelandic horses! they are little and pretty!
corrguated metal buildings!
paganised christianity, which incorporates the belief in trolls & "hidden people"!
people are generally friendly & attractive!

― elmo argonaut (allocryptic), Friday, 26 January 2007 17:24 (eighteen years ago)

all buildings in reykjavik are warmed with geothermal heating!
truly a place of geological wonders & oddities.

― elmo argonaut (allocryptic), Friday, 26 January 2007 17:26 (eighteen years ago)

because they have actually redirected roads because boulders in the proposed path are believed to house sprites and/r other spirits

― bb (bbrz), Friday, 26 January 2007 17:30 (eighteen years ago)

people are generally friendly

until they get a snootful, at which point fist fights become the national pasttime.

do NOT EVER get "mexican" food in iceland, however

― elmo argonaut (allocryptic), Friday, 26 January 2007 17:36 (eighteen years ago)

Rhode Island is famous for these! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quonset_hut

― UART variations (ex machina), Friday, 26 January 2007 19:15 (eighteen years ago)

every structure in iceland is either brick, stone, or metal. BECAUSE THERE ARE NO TREES. only lupins.

― elmo argonaut (allocryptic), Friday, 26 January 2007 19:17 (eighteen years ago)

― mothers against celibacy (skowly), Friday, 26 January 2007 19:25 (eighteen years ago)

well, just "sayin"

― UART variations (ex machina), Friday, 26 January 2007 19:26 (eighteen years ago)

why do noize dudes only like the most expensive places on earth?

1) not liberal arts majors
2) momusian ideals about high density living

were you a psych major or something?

― Jessie the Monster (scarymonsterrr), Friday, 26 January 2007 19:40 (eighteen years ago)

english literature :/

― mothers against celibacy (skowly), Friday, 26 January 2007 19:40 (eighteen years ago)

not as bad as psychology! also probably better than social sciences, the liberal arts field where people like me convince themselves they are doing something useful.

― Jessie the Monster (scarymonsterrr), Friday, 26 January 2007 19:41 (eighteen years ago)

(UG) Psych majors are less employable than any liberal arts major.

― UART variations (ex machina), Friday, 26 January 2007 19:55 (eighteen years ago)

i hold in special contempt liberal arts majors who can't master basic grammar & spelling. YOU HAVE NO EXCUSE.

― elmo argonaut (allocryptic), Friday, 26 January 2007 19:57 (eighteen years ago)

^^^^ otm

Psych majors MIGHT be better off than philosophy majors.

― Jessie the Monster (scarymonsterrr), Friday, 26 January 2007 20:05 (eighteen years ago)

At least philosophy majors with vaginas are dykes and not sorority girls.

― UART variations (ex machina), Friday, 26 January 2007 20:17 (eighteen years ago)

My major has the best visuals of any major, including art majors.

SORORITY GIRL: "WELL, I LIKE PEOPLE.... I SHOULD BE A PSYCH MAJOR!!!"

― UART variations (ex machina), Friday, 26 January 2007 20:20 (eighteen years ago)

Computer Science terminology is also the best.

CANONICAL vs. AUTHORITATIVE
SCHEMAS!!!!!
Finite State Automata: DETERMINISTIC AND NON-DETERMINISTIC!!!!

― UART variations (ex machina), Friday, 26 January 2007 20:21 (eighteen years ago)

Jon is pretty otm re: Female Psych majors = sorority girls. See also: public relations, marketing, broadcast journalism.

I have a prejudice against philo majors. :(

― Jessie the Monster (scarymonsterrr), Friday, 26 January 2007 20:33 (eighteen years ago)

IR terminology:

realism BUT NOT *that* realism.
liberalism BUT NOT *that* liberalism.
post-structural institutionalism = ?????

― Jessie the Monster (scarymonsterrr), Friday, 26 January 2007 20:35 (eighteen years ago)

CS has the best projects for sure.

― Jessie the Monster (scarymonsterrr), Friday, 26 January 2007 20:37 (eighteen years ago)

I think new media fine arts programs have the best projects

― UART variations (ex machina), Friday, 26 January 2007 20:44 (eighteen years ago)

I think "new media fine arts programs" sounds like a bullshit liberal arts degree ;)

H79.2576 Lecture 4 Credits
Fall 2006
Instructor: Hiler

The Internet has enabled a cyber society that's changing the world. Yet compared to ancient civilizations in Greece and Rome, it falls shockingly short: where is the democracy? The rule of law? The property rights? Into this vacuum, websites like Google and Ebay are emerging as the new nationstate. In this class, we will place cyberspace in the context of ancient civilizations, as we compare cyberpunks like Stephenson and Gibson with philosophers like Machiavelli and Madison. We'll also look at the unique governance needs of websites and virtual worlds, including Massively Multiplayer Online Games like World of Warcraft and Ultima. Finally, we'll re-imagine governance in a world of social media (weblogs, social networks, wikis, etc.). For the final class project, students will design online self-governance systems: reputation systems, social norms, online justice systems, and other cyber institutions.

ONLINE JUSTICE = NOIZE BOARD TRIBUNAL.

― Jessie the Monster (scarymonsterrr), Friday, 26 January 2007 21:27 (eighteen years ago)

I wonder if Second Life has the same unique governance needs as WoW.
