  1. The meal plans on campus have always been wretched. I know, I've worked with Aramark food service in connection with USF. They push every boundary possible in order to maximise their return. They're absolutely shameless. Honestly, my advice to all students would be to cancel their plans and get off campus as quickly as possible. It's little more than a scam, one that endangers their health and well-being.

  2. I'd have to see it for myself, but that looks more like either a big blood vessel within the meat, or marrow from the bone, or possibly a combination of the two.  I don't really see any uncooked chicken in that pic, but again, I'd need to see it more closely.  

     

    It's a 760x960 image. How much closer do you need to be?

  3. I'll ask again.  If we keep him, what do you do next year if the results are close to being the same?  It's a question that needs to be asked if you look at the big picture.  The answer is easy if he does turn it around, but what if he does not.  How long do you allow the program to continue to be in a state of disarray if he does not turn it around.

    Assuming he's still here, if next year is not better than this year then I'd think DW would probably make a change. Next year will be the most talented team,  on paper, he will have had here.

    Forgive me if I'm wrong but I believe this same point was advanced a year ago.

    As I recall, there were people calling for his head but the argument by many was that we should give him another year. This was followed by much enthusiasm by many pro-Mac types who exhuberantly proclaimed their optimism for next year.

    How many times are we going to do this?

    He had his years here, the team hasn't really improved greatly or at all. How many times will we just shrug our shoulders and hand the team over to a proven loser?

  4. I use www.gotomypc.com and I like it. I basically can get into my desktop from work or my work computer from home. It allows me to sync files. I have also used PC Anywhere in the past. PC Anywhere doens work with our network but gotomypc.com does. Also I can get to either computer from anywhere in the world.

    So how does it work? If I am at work I log into my home computer and while I am at work I am viewing my home PC. The best part is the only IP registering is the one to my home PC. What I view on my home PC remotely is not being seen by the network.

    Packet sniffing, man. Your network activity is not encrypted or really all that hidden so you can still get found out that way, your admin can still monitor your network activity.

    I'd go the ssh tunneling route but that requires just a wee bit more technical knowledge.

  5. As far as Mac is concerned, I'm reserving my judgement until the end of the season but so far it definitely isn't looking so good.

    Years ago when I first came to USF I really had little or no opinion regarding mbb but over time I've sortof come to just expect failure, it's really quite depressing. I still try to go to games but it's becoming alot harder to convince any friends to come along. Whenever I ask I get the standard "dude, it's usf basketball" response, it's rather frustrating. I wouldn't have a problem with mac so long as there was a sign of real substantial improvement over the years but it's just not there and I wonder how much longer it will take. I'm not yet at the point that I think he should be fired but I'm starting to get there, it's just been so much of the same thing for so long. I've heard these same arguments such as "well we lost, but we still played competitive", "we showed improvement", "we're incapacitated by injuries", etc., but as time drags on I can't help but feel more and more as they're excuses, teams that have any sort of ability at all should be able to do better than 2-19 in conference play.

    I hope Mac can produce a big turnaround but I'm really starting to lose faith.

  6. How many acres does University Mall have?  Any chance USF to surpass UF?

    usf already has more acreage than uf, the figures on wikipedia are somewhat innacurate. The figure quoted for usf only takes in account the land in the center of campus and does not include the area north of fletcher at all. When usf first opened it actually had double the amount of available land that uf had.

    I also know for a fact that the numbers stated for fiu are incorrect. Whoever created that number obviously combined the acreage of the main University Park campus (30,000 students) and the Biscayne Bay branch campus (7,000 students).
