Anything with linear in the name sounds much more pleasant than anything with nonlinear in it.

is it just me or is the concept of 'Linear circuits' something of an oxymoron?

Hmm, I know hardly any electronics, but I'm assuming circuits that lead to nonlinear equations are easy enough to construct.

Hahahaha - I just received the best spam email ever:

RE: APPEAL FOR URGENT & CONFIDENTIAL BUSINESS ASSISTANCE!

Dearest One,

I am introducing myself as Miss Gisele Martin the only daughter of late Chief
and Mrs. Adam Martin. My father was a very wealthy Coccoa merchant in Abidjan,
the economic capital of Ivory coast, my father was poisoned to death by his
business associates during one of their outings on a business trip .My mother
died when I was a baby and since then my father took me so special. Before the
death of my father on November 2005 in a private hospital here in Abidjan he
secretly called me on his bed side and told me that he has the sum of Seven
million,five hundred thousand United State Dollars ($US7.5M) left in fixed /
suspense account in one of the prime bank here in Abidjan,that he used my name
as his only daughter for the next of Kin in depositing of the fund. He also
explained to me that it was because of this wealth that he was poisoned by his
business associates. That due to the incessant political crisis in this country
and to avoid been kill by his enemies I should seek
for a foreign partner in a country of my choice where I will transfer this
money and use it for investment purpose such as real estate or hotel
management.

Please, I am honourably seeking your assistance in the following ways:

(1) To provide a bank account into which this money would be transferred to.
(2) To serve as a guardian of this fund since I am still a small girl
(3) To make arrangement for me to come over to your country to further my
education and also to secure a resident permit in your country.Moreover, I am
willing to offer you 15% of the total sum as compensation for your effort/
input after the successful transfer of this fund into your nominated account
overseas.Furthermore, Pls indicate your options towards assisting me as I
believe that this transaction would be conclude within seven (7) days you
signify your interest to assist me.

Anticipating to hear from you urgently.
Thanks and God bless.
Yours Sincerely,
Gisele Martin

Did you receive that? Because I received one exactly the same in the holidays, and if you received one too then I'm jealous because that was my money

The sad thing is that it must work on some people otherwise they wouldn't bother sending them out.

I keep on getting 'Cyprus Offshore' 'employment offers' in my Hermes account:

oh yeah me too... hum although it wasn't cyrpus but something else...

didn't realise it was spam... i thought it was just some random job offer sent out by the uni...thank god i didn't reply..

One of them was 'ANDERSON DENNY'.

Does anyone know if there's some kind of Spam report thing for Hermes?

I've just spent an hour and a half trying to fix my iTunes after various meddling boys managed to delete half my music instead of writing my first ever Russian essay. The essay is on a passage that I don't entirely understand and was hoping to go through in a supervision. Poop.
