// "Womens studies" "American Studies" and most other "________ Studies" programs can be folded into a humanities department. They try to portray themselves as "interdisciplinary" or "independent" but they're not.

Quote:"The University of Cincinnati will stop accepting undergraduate majors in computer science starting in fall 2012.
About 125 current students in the program will be able to complete their programs.
The move by the College of Engineering and Applied Science is one step toward reducing the college's academic programs to 11 from the current 17, Dean Carlo Montemagno said.
// Clearly, computers are just a thing of the past.

Quote:""By what seems more than coincidence, I appeared at The Kilns that very day and learned that unless I carried the papers away with me that afternoon they would indeed be destroyed," Hooper wrote. "There were so many that it took all my strength and energy to carry them back to Keble College." For the past 46 years, Hooper has spent his time sifting through the saved material before it is transported to Oxford's Bodleian Library. Four years ago, he realised that fragments of the famous Aeneid translation, referred to by Tolkien in his own letters, had escaped his attention. Since then he has worked with Reyes to piece together the translation, which exists in fragments spread across several notebooks.
// Wow. Note to self, burn anything worth burning before death, and publish everything worth keeping before relatives have a chance to feed their kilns with your life's works.

Quote:"When you play the game, it might seem as if the four ghosts are actively chasing you. That's not exactly true. Iwatani intentionally avoided programming them with that purpose, since that would have resulted in Pac-Man zipping around the screen with four ghosts always right behind him.
Instead, it's only Blinky, the red ghost, who doggedly pursues you throughout the game. Pinky, the pink ghost (naturally), simply wants to position itself at a point that's 32 pixels in front of Pac-Man's mouth. The blue ghost, Inky, is seeking to position itself at a similar fixed spot. And Clyde, the orange ghost, moves completely at random.
