21, nearing a BFA in graphic design.

yes, i'm being facetious when i say "in my old age." :cool:

(oh yeah, and 22 in may - do you still get to say "and a half" when you're over 18?)

Only if they are concentrated in a few areas!

Then there's the "residency requirement". Most colleges want you to take the last 45 units in residence. Plus new requirements are added every year, it seems. For example, at San Francisco State University, in addition to major requirements, you must take a three or four upper division course sequence in "Areas of Knowledge" or something like that. Those are courses in religions of the world, women's studies, ethnic studies, sexuality, etc. Engineering students used to be exempt from things like that (at least they were when I was at UC Berkeley in the '70s), or at least it was only a couple of lower division courses which were part of your general education requirements.

It's fun to hear everyone's background, so I'll bite.

I'll be 28 on Saint Patricks Day. I have an M.S. in Computer Science Engineering, a B.S. in Computer Science, and a B.(ull)S.(hit) in Economics.

In short, this thread might discourage some of the yungin's from posting, and IMO that would be a shame. (Plus, I own 1365 shares of AAPL stock, and welcome any opportunity to encourage the next generation of Mac consumers.)

I'm a 31 yr old university drop out who has an Associates degree.

Luckily, I have worked in the creative field where degrees mean about as much a they do in the NFL, not much more than a passing comment.

I reserve most of my immaturity for those times when playing with my 2 year old daughter. It comes in handy.

33 (21 in hexadecimal!), BA in computer science the second time through. The first time through I pulled a Steve Jobs and dropped out of Reed College after three years. I was a disaffected French Literature major.

There's a very good graphic design department here at Iowa, and I'm thinking of at least taking a few of their courses (if not getting another degree).

I have 5 degrees. I bought them all from private colledges in the Tropics/Dominican/Pacific Isles etc etc...

Next week I'm opening up a Pentacostal Church in an abandoned industria/commercial unit where, using the pilferred donations of marginalized African Americans, I'm going to build an empire to rival that of Benny Hinn. MUHAHAHAHA!!!

I am 29 and have yet another Bachelor of Architecture. At my age I'm so damn lazy, I can barely get myself to post, hence the low post count.

Most architects like Macs. Except for the ones that don't, of course.

I thought up a clever rebuttal to this, but upon further thought, it's not even worth the effort.

Maybe. I'm thinking it's more along the lines of:

Nothing I would say will change anyone's attitudes on this, and since I'm quite tired because I just got home from work (where I stared at TV and computer screens for several hours), I don't really care anyway.

Mature or not, that's the way it is.

EDIT: Changed 'looked' to 'stared.'....zzzzz......

actually, I believe that 96° F (which is what the measurement was) is a bit too cold, no? (unless you were referring to weather conditions, in which case, 96° is a a bit too hot)

Blood temperature can vary a bit. The revised average of human blood temperature was lowered to 98.2 recently I think. Still, 96 is a tad cool. Was the building heated?

To the Moderator(s),

Why don't you start an AI forum for us people over 21. This way, I could fling an occasional explicative when its needed and not have to worry that some kid read it.

I was always under the impression that in cases of vulgarity, 18 was the age cut off. Anyway, the lack of an over-21 forum has prevented people from swearing before.

Okay, 18 is fine with me. And your right, I have read an occasional explicative here before. I myself used them when I was a teenager (and I still do). Anyway, my point is that I would prefer an AI forum where I could read posts by people 18 and over and preferably who have programming or engineering backgrounds in the computer industry.
