    I wonder what exam everybody is most worried about in the coming weeks.
    Operating Systems is what I hate, mostly because the useless tool that is Berny Power is teaching, its alsmot impossible to study for the test, you read a page, and you fall asleep, ah I just want to get 35% and I'd be happy, COMPENSATION is the greatest invention ever. :-) )

    For me I just want to get it over cuz I'm sick of bloody studying.

    Can't be bothered anymore, I just want to sleep, zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

    I haven't started studying yet. I know what you mean bout boring notes putting you to sleep though! I still have to print off all notes from this year. My exams start tuesday and at least i have a day off to study for next one in between.

    I did operating systems in 2nd year, different lecturer though. It was one boring-ass subject, but it was easy all the same.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 358 ✭✭begbie


    I may have done operating systems. Sounds familiar. Can't remember though. :dunno:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,484 ✭✭✭✭Stephen


    Lots of drone about deadlocks, cpu scheduling algorithms etc?
    and some chatter about ancient operating systems like "Tops-20"?

    Right so i had my Surveying exam on Saturday and i've just finished my maths exam, so thats my two worst subjects out of the way :D. Other then that i think i'll wait until two hours before i go to bed to actuall do some study. That seems to be how i always do things.

    Mong.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 620 ✭✭✭spanner


    as you can guess it aint going well cause i am on this stupid addictive board all the time


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,459 ✭✭✭seanos


    Must admit, construction going on right outside house doesn't help with study/exams.

    Hard enough to get down to it without ESB digging everything up [Even if they usually are the best company ever created!].

    Now to go back to staring at the screen, and dreaming of a CW046 for Dummies [or Physics/Maths books for dummies - or "in 20 minute's" style books for courses ;)]


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,484 ✭✭✭✭Stephen


    netsoc is good, but the constant pimping for it makes us all look like lamers.

    wasn't pimping it there stephen - purely having fun / taking the piss, at which point I'm now finished.

    If I did wish to get the point across about joining, the last thing I would do is spam etc it ... [I have suffered at my inital "lazy way to add to all search engines" by receiving 100+ extra spam a day on top of what I get already].

    I thought it was quite obvious that I was not doing this in any serious manner [apart of course from my orignal threads which were rather long detailing information regarding it].

    Apologies to any who /didn't/ manage to see the amusing side of it....

    And getting back to the topic of the thread [initally], I wonder if ESB read my post while on their lunch and decided to also have bit of fun & work twice as loud...

    Delightful. I tell you to stop "whoring" netsoc or you'll be temp banned and you just shrug it off. Stephen tells you your making "us" look like lamers and you call it a day :rolleyes:

    Well, I'm afraid its too late. 1 week temp ban.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,220 ✭✭✭Redrocket
