    how bad of a person does this make me

    you sound exactly like my lab partner was. It was actually really annoying when he would copy all my prelabs and for that reason I would purposely not send him all of the information for the lab reports. If you're not into it, that's fine. But you are working with a partner for a reason so you...

    How well did you get along with your dorm roommate in college?

    Loved my roommate. She and I were perfect for each other: considerate, could talk about anything, liked to work out together, the list goes on. We were roommates for two years and aren't even really friends anymore--it's slightly sad.

    Black Mold and Landlord/Tenant Law

    We have that in my bathroom too. It is actually really easy to get rid of: take an old face towel that you don't care about, soak it in bleach and attach it to the end of a broom stick (or something that can reach the ceiling)...then swipe it all over the mold--should work...at least that is how...

    Summer Job

    Check your school for online job postings. My internship that I got last summer was through an online school-only application. They paid for me to relocate even and paid my housing for the summer. I also applied to company websites this year and have heard back from all 3 that I applied to (got...

    Got a job in San Luis Obispo CA and need advice on where i can find a place to live

    Are you kidding me? There are SOOO many apartments, but yes, rent is expensive. I currently attend Cal Poly SLO and live right near campus and the rent for our entire house is $2,400/month split 5 ways. I know some people in apartments that pay anywhere from $400-$800 for their rooms. If you...

    Is it lonely living by yourself?

    I lived alone last summer (had a summer internship 400 miles away from my parents and 200 miles away from my house at school). The company paid to put me up in "corporate housing" and I had a tiny little studio apartment to myself. It wasn't terrible, but it really wasn't great either. Since I...

    solder iron

    ugh, totally soldered today and the fumes were just going straight up into my face. I have really long hair and a few strands got burned--that smelled even worse than the solder fumes.

    My microprocessor project is almost done!

    hah, for my CPE329 project this quarter my partner and I interfaced a keyboard and LCD just like you did, however we made ours into a piano system. You play the keys on the keyboard as if they were a piano. You can change the octave of the notes you're playing, record yourself and play it back...

    speeding tickets in california, have some questions regarding traffic school

    yeah, you are definitely going to get points for one of those tickets. Take the traffic school online though if you can, it's much easier than sitting in the courtoom for 6 hours listening to a police man talk.

    Can you get a California burrito anywhere else besides San Diego?

    I used to go to that one all the time too. Then I moved away from Mission Viejo. It started to get lame when it closed early--but all the creepy kids used to hang out there and I think that's why they had to start closing it.

    look at your backs

    Sure, it can. I was diagnosed with scoliosis when I was 14. It wasn't that big of a deal for me. I acutally ended up running cross country and track in high school with no real problems. You should probably go get some xrays done to find out how bad it is. Sometimes scoliosis patients need back...

    Frequencies and times

    I have actually done this before, granted not with a microcontroller. Last year I wrote some matlab code that you could use to "make a song". It took a cosine wave with a certain frequency, phase, duration, and sampling frequency and used these to recreate a note. The sound was then played...

    bedroom paint color

    mine is called kiwi kisses and it is a watered-down looking lime green. I love it, especially since it matches really nicely with purple. Although I don't quite think that is what you're looking for. Whatever you do, don't get a light tan color--they look REALLY ugly a few years later. I...

    Worth upgrading from ipod mini to Nano 2nd Gen?

    It's a little module that you plug into your nano and it tracks your workout for you. It will calculate how far you run, how long, and from that, average mph. You can upload your workout for free to your computer and it allows you to have a visual representation (speed vs time) graph. It also...
