Believe it or not, Toronto actually won the World Series in 1993 - they beat Philly in 6 games...so it is possible for a team outside the U.S. to win it all...

Canada can play in the World Series.

You could say that, and yet, they won't ever win, so in a sence they can't!

ha!

FAQ / Board Issues / Do you guys really need to...

« on: June 16, 2003, 03:30:05 pm »

you can't edit that part out...but it doesn't show up untill you have edited it like 3 times.

i'm pretty sure if you go to the bottom of viewtopic.php and comment out the "if" part and just use the "else" part, it won't show up anymore...although i don't have phpbb installed so i can't try it out.

Code: [Select]


//
// Editing information
//
if ( $postrow[$i]['post_edit_count'] )
{
$l_edit_time_total = ...
$l_edited_by = ...
}
else
{
$l_edited_by = '';
}

I don't think you can take it off.

I think you can take it out if you want to, although it may not be as straightforward as clicking a button - i haven't looked at the source, but i think you could just comment that part out.
That said, i think it should stay - i like to know when someone has "changed their story."

Completely Off-Topic / anyone taken the sat yet?

« on: June 16, 2003, 02:37:42 pm »

You know, the SAT's are the most biased crap tests EVER.

You throw me in front of an SAT and I'll run the score up all day.  You throw me in a science or high level match class and I fall apart.

I'm horrible at memorization of eqations and complicated rules of physics and chemistry so why do I deserve to be considered smarter than someone who is great at memorization and mathematics but is bad at logic and word puzzles?

Even the "MATH" section of the SAT still panders to people bad at Math because it's hard for them to assume specific knowledge of equations and what not.

I know too many people who have done exceptionally well on standardized tests but seem to be unable to take care of themselves on a daily basis.  Why do we still classify this as smart?

It's just bad.
---Andrew

The SAT is valuable because, as you said, it's standardized.  It's become a de facto standard - almost every college uses it - that allows quick and dirty comparisons between students from all over the country and isn't subject to local issues like differences in grading scales from school-to-school, etc.  
I would say that's all it's designed for, not for measuring true intelligence - and in my experience it does it's job fairly well - most people i know have gotten around the score they "deserved."

well, is it a good album in general? music wise?

I'm not a huge 3EB fan, but it's not a bad album...if you liked their other stuff you'll like this too, it's pretty consistent...I think the first 5 songs are pretty solid...then the album kind of runs out of steam...I don't really like the second half...Palm Reader is ok though

of course, i think the real reason i like the album is that the songs remind me of last summer when 3EB toured with Vanessa...
