Called up Sprint and found out that I have $150 towards a new phone, which I desperately need.

I've had my current phone since May of 2003 and it's basically hanging off the hinges.

I was patiently awaiting for that rebate so I could get a new phone. I ended up going with the Samsung A900 (aka The Blade). Sprint has some awesome phones coming out, and Samsung I have is just awesome as well.
If you go to www.sprintusers.com , they have a lot more information. Their forums are insanely thorough.

The A900 is awesome, I love mine.

Re: What the Hell is on Your Mind Thread

Yeah, the only thing I'm not liking too much about it is the fact that the menus seems to slow up a bit.

Also, I hate the fact that the T9 doesn't learn new words. For someone who uses texts a lot, that's a big deal and would be very nice to have.
Sprint has been pissing me off though lately with their nationwide network outages that cause messages to fail sending.

Other than that, an AWESOME phone.

I remember Business Law from college. Our tests were all true/false and they sucked ***. Thank god law school is different*.

*My Insurance Law exam had T/F on it, but we could explain our answer.

Well couldn't find anything of interest tonight. Oh well at least I borrowed Wall Street at the library. It's an excellent movie that I haven't seen for some time.

Definitely one of my all time favorites.

QUoted because you are the first person to ever dislike true/false tests.


Just kidding, I loved them for general ed. requirement classes, but once you get into something you actually want to learn about, I prefer being given problems with the chance to work/explain things. And, of course, the chance at partial credit. T/F is pretty much the best thing ever in an intro to socialogy class or something like that.

I have a better one from HS. The teacher asked roughly the following question in World History 2.
"By the 10th century the Chinese invented [something they invented 2 centuries earlier]."
The answer would of course be true, because they had done so by that century. However he marked it wrong, saying it was false, that they did in the {insert correct century]. So even though they had done it by the answer given, he marked it wrong. Mind you, this was a teacher famous for trick questions.

That isn't a trick question, it doesn't make sense at all. "There is a 4th of July in Russia" is a trick question. You can't just mark a correct answer wrong and call it a trick question. That, or the "trick" is over my head at the moment. I guess leaving out the word "had" before 'invented' does leave open some room for interpratation...

On the topic of terrible teachers and tests, I had a math teacher who made us write out, in words, every step we took in solving a problem(this wasn't geometry or anything, these weren't proofs). I took my first test not completely understanding his Nazi-like rules, got 19 out of 20 questions correct and I got a D.

Re: What the Hell is on Your Mind Thread

Yeah, I don't particularly like true/false questions but I LOVE regular multiple choice questions. Why anyone would want an essay test in any subject is beyond me.

You can get away writing a full page essay with only knowing a few points, ANY points you happen to know. With multiple choice you either know that fact or you don't. Most subjects I would prefer multiple choice, but if it is a test on a book I had to read, give me an essay any day.
