Toronto!! No...

Hey, if you're cultured and sophisticated and love the NHL, turn on your TV.

The Leafs were 4-0 down to the Sens and now it's 4-3.

[Asher]

Why would I watch that when the Flames are playing right now too.

[Agathon]

But there's been a couple of good fights already. Marian Hossa left the game after taking a puck in the face and bleeding all over the ice (worse than Berard did when Hossa hit him). Perrott gave Neil a hiding and several Sens are injured. And to top it all half the Sens are falling ill with the flu.

I'm praying that the Leafs take the lead and then smack the crap out of Alfredsson for good measure.

I see no two questions even slightly worded in there. Well - Looks as if the higher ups in this lucrative industry don't have to bother with such trivial bits as 1st year English

and GO TO *ING TORONTO, DOLT! That will actually open up doors - lest you plan ultimate continuation in the wonderfully regarded (laughed at) UofC

[Q Classic]

there's also a study which shows that those who graduate from elite colleges also tend to make more, regardless of their degrees.

Tell that to PH - he went to about the best college there is.

[Zylka]

Provost went to Oxford??

[Asher]

Yep. He's even got a Masters and half a PhD from Oxford...

The UofC's compsci department is one of the best in Canada. We also have quite famous alumni in the industry, including James Gosling (VP of Sun and inventor of Java). It's also one of the leading universities in North America for HCI (Human-Computer Interaction) and Cryptography.

[Agathon]

Yep Z, he did. University College too.

And Owen Nolan scooorrreeeess in OT and the Leafs come from 4-0 down to win 5-4 in overtime.

Take that Ottawa scum!!!!

It's still be-e-etter in Ontario (and even UBC)

[Asher]

UBC's compsci department is terrible.

The only ones better in Canada are UofT and UofW.

Well that's incredibly impressive. Any Oxford man is a respectable man - even if he's as socially inept as ol Provy

Oh, I just made a pretty out assumption because of all the Chinamen and Sikhs out there

Winnipeg has a higher up program? ****, that school surprisingly has it's act together in a lot of areas

[Asher]

Haha. No, University of Waterloo, not Winnipeg...
