ST Poll: Reasonable/Unreasonable: A class is schedule from 6pm - 9pm. On test day, a student shows up at 8pm to find an empty classroom. - ty97 Apr 28, 08:10 22
- Unreasonable they were late to class and that's no excuse for missing the test. -- nm - lileve Apr 28, 08:18
- Unless I get a good explaination for the delay, I would go to battle to prove a point to the student. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Apr 28, 08:18
- Related: Did you read this email from a NYU professor blasting a student who arrived late for class? -- (link) - oblique Apr 28, 08:18 1
  - thanks for reposting that. it was awesome the first time, and will remain awesome. -- nm - TFox Apr 28, 08:19
- unreasonable. -- nm - Andie Apr 28, 08:18
- I can see his point but it's still douchey to show up two hours late for a test. Like someone said, what if it was a 3 hr test? -- nm - sycor Apr 28, 08:17
- totally unreasonable. I wouldn't even bother responding to that email. -- nm - mafic Apr 28, 08:15
- Unreasonable. Class started at 6. -- nm - kelly Apr 28, 08:15
- In some schools, doors are locked during tests. If you're five minutes late, you miss the whole thing. -- nm - Beryllium (iPhone) Apr 28, 08:14
- Has this student never taken a class before? -- nm - James Bond (aka Igor) Apr 28, 08:12
- I think student should suck it up for being super late, BUT I do think student is right as well. -- nm - Shaun Apr 28, 08:12
- Really freakin' stupid either way (it could have been a 3 hour long test), but I think they probably have enough of an argument that they should get a - pmb Apr 28, 08:12 2
  - [deleted]
  - I agree. -- nm - JaxSean Apr 28, 08:15
- is it possible to pimpslap students over e-mail? like, high elbow fo real slap? does that technology exist yet? -- nm - TFox Apr 28, 08:12 1
  - (like, a "when you finish the test, please sign it with the tooth that I dislodged from your face when i slapped the shizzit out of you" slap.) -- nm - TFox Apr 28, 08:14
- Unreasonable. Class starts at 6pm, not whenever you feel like showing up -- nm - oblique Apr 28, 08:11
- unreasonable. -- nm - znufrii Apr 28, 08:11
- How long was the test expected to take? -- nm - Roger More Apr 28, 08:11 2
  - I don't believe any expectation of exam time length was ever officially stated. -- nm - ty97 Apr 28, 08:12 1
    - The teacher could have been clearer, but IMO if the student knows there's a test, he also knows not to rock up whenever he feels like it -- nm - Roger More Apr 28, 08:23
- I think they should expect to be there at 6 p.m. -- nm - Callisto Apr 28, 08:11
ST Poll: Have you ever peed in the shower? - Dano Apr 28, 08:04 14
- Of course! -- nm - lileve Apr 28, 08:18
- This isn't humpy. (no) -- nm - Beryllium (iPhone) Apr 28, 08:15
- I think you're the only male who hasn't -- nm - ty97 Apr 28, 08:10
- Duh. -- nm - Shaun Apr 28, 08:08
- it seems like a waste of water to not pee during a shower. -- nm - TFox Apr 28, 08:07 2
  - it's also a waste of water to shower alone when there are other options. -- nm - workmanda Apr 28, 08:09 1
    - Plus you can also supervisor so no shower parts get broken :) -- nm - oblique Apr 28, 08:10
- daily. nm -- nm - groiny Apr 28, 08:06
- today? no. -- nm - JaxSean Apr 28, 08:06
- it has to be a solo mission -- nm - Epiphany Apr 28, 08:06 3
  - *laughing* -- nm - JaxSean Apr 28, 08:06 2
    - my ex was a weirdo - not even a sexy time thing - who does that?? - Epiphany Apr 28, 08:10 1
      - I'm laughing because I totally agree. - JaxSean Apr 28, 08:14
- Does the Pope Poop in the woods? -- nm - amoxy Apr 28, 08:05
I need to pee. And I need to shower -- nm - ty97 Apr 28, 08:02 3
- talk about a "two birds, one stone" situation. - TFox Apr 28, 08:04
- like you've never done both at the same time before? -- nm - znufrii Apr 28, 08:03 1
  - giving you a golden shower doesn't count -- nm - ty97 Apr 28, 08:03
SITS: Anyone know how, on a Remote Desktop Connection, to get the screen to go back to the "full screen with the tab at the top?" - JaxSean Apr 28, 07:55 15
- ALT-ENTER? -- nm - oblique Apr 28, 08:09
- You can't re-maximize the window? -- nm - Shaun Apr 28, 07:58 2
  - It's been a while since I used it - but there might be a difference between maximized and full-screen -- nm - Beryllium Apr 28, 07:59 1
    - I just opened a RD here and it allowed it. -- nm - Shaun Apr 28, 07:59
- so it's in a resizable window now? try right-clicking the title bar and see what menu comes up. -- nm - zork Apr 28, 07:57
- right-click the titlebar, there should be something there -- nm - Beryllium Apr 28, 07:57 9
  - (And from what I recall, double-clicking the titlebar should maximize it) -- nm - Beryllium Apr 28, 07:57 8
    - It maximizes it into a regular "widow," but not the full screen withthe tab at the top. - JaxSean Apr 28, 07:59 7
      - When you open the RD window, before you connect, go in to "options" display, and move the slider all the way to the right -- nm - scorpion Apr 28, 08:01
      - This is what I want it to look like again: -- (link) - JaxSean Apr 28, 08:00 [Image] 3

        AWESOME. Thank you. -- nm - JaxSean Apr 28, 08:01 1
        
        Perfect. (The problem was the "windowed" RD was wider than my monitor, and I kept having to scroll left/right.) - JaxSean Apr 28, 08:05
      - I know what you mean. You're sure there's not an option in the right-click menu? -- nm - Beryllium Apr 28, 08:00 1
        
        Nope, just minimize, Restore (when it's maximized), move and close. -- nm - JaxSean Apr 28, 08:01

MSNBC breaking news - China stripped of bronze medal in gymnastics at the olympics for using underage gymnasts. Bronze goes to US. -- nm - pmb Apr 28, 07:48 5
- Nothing like getting your bronze medal a decade late. -- nm - ty97 Apr 28, 07:57
- *shocked* -- nm - loosilu Apr 28, 07:53
- Can't imagine the US team is going to be eager to have those medals. -- nm - budice Apr 28, 07:52 1
  - you can't? I expect they'll be thrilled since they are the "real winners" of it -- nm - zork Apr 28, 07:55
- wow, I didn't even realize that vancouver 2010 *had* a medal for gymnastics -- nm - Beryllium Apr 28, 07:49

    - and of course, I find the issue of campaign finance to be a compelling one here as well. -- nm - znufrii Apr 28, 08:10

The Hadron Collider was going to unmake the earth, but attempting to spawn a star on the Earth's surface for sport is obviously 100% cool. -- (link) - TFox Apr 28, 07:46
