The prompt I'm answering asks:

Georgia Tech is proud to draw students from around the United States and countries throughout the world. This unique compilation of academic interests, personal backgrounds, and various life experiences creates an exciting and inspiring educational mix. Given your personal background, what would you hope to learn and contribute through becoming part of this sort of campus community?

Do you think I'd have to make this really personal or do you think if I do a paragraph on my background, interests, and what i'd offer would be good enough. That's how I have it written now, but I'm not sure if I should make it more personal or just leave it how it is.

Thanks

I rented, but I'm wondering if I only think this looks good, or if other people will think this looks good as well:

I was thinking of doing that, but with a white bow tie.

Also do tuxedo shirts need to be fitted or just jackets because I'm getting a white shirt, but didn't realize that this looks really cool as far as I care.

Ok, I'm already late on this. Does anyone have any American novelist with reoccurring themes/techniques in three of their books. All the books need to be about 300-400 pages or shorter so I can read them in time.

I had John Irving...too long.

Currently I'm on Peter Matthiessen, but does his book Shadow Country actually have a reoccurring theme or just a reoccurring story making it a great American Novel.

Thomas Pynchon or Kurt Vonnegut (Leaning towards him if Matthiessen fails for my purpose) or Joseph Heller.

Any help will be appreciated. Thanks.

Probably asked countless times, but personel recomandations help a lot.

I need a topic that can cover 10 pages double spaced in a word document.

I've been thinking about the:

space race and moon landings

assassinations of presidents, why certain successful, why they were done, etc. (too broad?)

anti-war movement in vietnam vs. other wars

Looking for more cold-war or war related topics. Anyone have any?

when you rent ski's, how do you know if you're beginner, intermediate, or expert.

I ski everything parrellel, pole plant, confident, but I don't carve yet.

Hoping to learn carving this time around.

What level am I?

I looked at the 1-9 and I think I'm level 6.

Should I rent intermediate skis.

WEll, I narrowed down my laptop choices to 3:

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N8...

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N8...

The first I like, but I don't really know how good the graphic performance would be and I'd probably attempt to RAid 0 the hard drives to get more performance seeing as they are 5400 rpm. It has a quad core and all three of these laptops have 64 bit vista.

The 2nd and third are the same except for screen, dvd drive, and processor. Is 1900 x 1020 laptop really useful in any way except gaming?

Thanks for the help

As the title says, I'm having some trouble.

My three choices are ATI hd4650 with 1gb memory, nvidia 9800gts 1gb memory, or a nvidia 260m 1gb memory.

I've heard the 260 is actually slow, and then I have no clue how the ATI card compares to the Nvidias. Thanks for the help.

Well I'm not to good at knowing specs for computers and am wondering if this computer here:

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N8...

has enough cpu processing power. The computer I have now had more ghz on the processor, but a worse graphics card and the graphics card on this new laptop is outstanding. Thanks.

I love playing crysis and far cry two so I am wanting to know if it would be sufficient for those and also when bad company 2 comes out.

I can't figure out what slot it needs and if my old computer has it.

My old computer has an agp and like 6 pci. The pci lok like this

Would that card run in thatslot. If not what is the best AGP/PCI card I can get. I was going to go 7600 gs, but I'm not sure if these cards are better. They are cheaper though.

Well seeing as I'm gettign some cheap Tru-Spec Digital Woodland for Airsoft, I'm wondering what vest colors the USMC uses with their woodland Marpat. Do they us O.D. or Coyote becasue in the poics that I have seen I can't tell what color i is./ It looks likea combination. Any one that is in the marines andusing woodland marpat, can you please tell me. Thank you. Or someone who knows.

but only for a year

I'd just like to say that I will not be on for the next 10 days (I'll give you guys some peace and quiet) as I go on my Summer vacation, a cruise in fact. It's a shame I will miss all the major signings so I'll have to wait a week longer than most of you, which sucks.

So what's the best vacation you have ever been on and are you planning on going on one this summer?

I guess I'll make this some what related to hockey and ask whats the best non-professional hockey fight you have ever seen.

do u think its true or false?

it'll be interesting to see where he winds up

I'm using this on a machine with XP and it needs agp. Just want to revive it. I can't choose between ATI and Nvidia.

ATI sounds better but I could be wrong. Also would it be wirth going for GDDR3 or not. I would then have only 256mb
