A friend just linked me this http://www.zdnet.com/article/nsa-whistleblower-overwhelmed-with-data-ineffective/
Probably old news to some since the article says it's old but still, news to me.

So apparently the NSA has so much information that they can't process it all in any useful way. 

So they are like children, they ask for the large fries and burgers over and over and over until the parent finally gives up and lets them have it just to get them to shut up.  And now they are complaining about a tummyache and complaining that they can't finish it all.

The government in action people.  These are the people that control our personal information. (and apparently they have tons of info on non Americans too thanks to 'deals' with foreign entities.)

Just boil the flesh off and keep the skulls. Keep them around in case of a wild Jehova's Witness' attack.

I actually have a friend who collects (animal, currently) skulls.

It would be difficult to collect plant skulls, I think.

All things are possible when done in the name of the Blood God.

The Blood God accepts regular tributes of sap from his aphid disciples

Now if only they saw fit to give you heads for it.

Uh... now I'm imagining my friend coming into my room and emptying out a sackful of severed heads on the floor, as payment for me having to interact with people unexpectedly. That would be kind of cool, although they would probably start to smell before long. Knowing me I would just leave them on the floor. >.>

I will need more time to homework tomorrow than I will probably have to homework.

I have US government AP next weekend.

[Tawa]

damn it, why does everybody else get the cool ap courses

all I got was ap biology

(that is, ap bio is, to my knowledge, literally the only ap course ever offered at my school)

we don't even have comp sci classes at all

@Caroline:Best of luck, and do well.

[TheBiggerFish]

Yeah.  I mean, iterating over a 2D array, HOW IS THAT EVEN A DIFFICULT CONCEPT.  WHAT EVEN.  And we spent a lot of time on that.  The most learning I needed to do was the classes we get documentation for anyway and try-catch.  And not even try-catch.

(I think I could literally have done all the learning I needed for the exam in maybe...A week.)

So yeah, I'm pretty good.  ;P

Any extra luck is appreciated anyway, but I'm going to give it back to you. 

[Insanegame27]

Could you guys translate all you just said into non-american for us? What's an AP?

[Adragis]

it's like a GCSE but not cool and not for 16-year-olds
