...Those of you in section 1, and those of you scheduled for oral argument at 11:00 that day, go to the Great Hall at 3:00 P.M. If you don?t know what section you?re in, I guess you?ll have to just drop out of school and ruin your life; or call the registrar.

i know.
it sucks.

this guy was so damn cool though.
I'm glad most of the class was too ignorant to realize what he was saying.

My numerical analysis instructor, after someone asked him (via email) if he could submit the solution in C. (Instructor wanted us to use MATLAB).

If I have to read through how your main()'s mallocs and frees,
your command-line parsing, your file IO, your hacked up "matrix"
or "polynomial" class, or the clever way you #define-d abs() to
use the stupid "ternary operator", then my time is wasted.
Unless you have been professionally programming in C++ for more
than 3 years, I fear my eyes will bleed if I read too much of
your source.

If I have to pick through your source to find the routine which
does demonstrate that you've learnined something, and you have
18 different globals with names like i17 and yyy then I will
not be happy. In fact, if these important functions do not
look as eloquent as the comparable matlab function, then you
should take a class in software engineering before inflicting
your C code on me, your UROP supervisor, or the public.

Disturbing. He's lucky that he hasn't been locked up already, the way that things have been going lately in schools.
