    Choosing a laptop for physics and math coursework

    Mr. Vodka, given your needs (which are fairly primary), go with the Gateway NV7915u. One of the best laptop out there for its price range. @ZQrn, W7 is definitely a great improvement from the lackluster Vista, but nowhere as good as Snow Leopard.

    Inception [SPOILER ALERT]- What are your theories?

    I second the fact that Nolan used Inception on the audience. Also, is it not possible that Mal was right all along and that perhaps Cobb was dreaming? *EDIT* Oups, I didn't read the post above me so I guess that clarifies my question. What if the ending is just another paradox from Nolan...

    Is Genius Required for Harvard Admission?

    Man..screw Harvard - there are way too many smart-*** people who apply there and get rejected! I'll just try my luck at Tokyo University - they have a brilliant physics/astronomy program and ranked in the top 10 or 15 worldwide. It'll be fun learning Japanese!
