Now my question remains, those anyone here attend RPI or has attended RPI? And is anyone here from USC or attended USC (probably the only school that would make me deny the scholarship-besides Berkley but there is no way they will accept me).
Last time I made one of these posts you guys were soooo helpful, so I've decided to make another post to gather some more advice. Thanks to anyone who reads this, and anyone who responds, its greatly appreciated.
Thanks again! <3 <3

We really have quite a large range of educational backgrounds from what I can see. From college and highschool grads to brilliant people who I'm not sure made it past the 6th grade  .
I'd say choose the school which has the programs that you are most interested in and fills whatever other interests you might have. Your education is only as good as you make it. Get into any internship opportunities you have and take every chance you can to learn anything about the field you're trying to get into.
I graduated from USC with a Business degree and very much value the time I spent there.

Also to answer your question, no. I think that there are more factors to what a person precives as time. Nor do I think that we truley understand the complexity of space itself and how it distorts and cycles time.
There isn't any reason why research into time, the oceans, and space can't happen all now. It's best that scientists research what they are interested in/have a talent in. We don't have to conquer or fully master one discipline to look into another. And even if we can't see a direct benefit, some practical we never imagined can often come from the most obscure research.

So I go inside and nicely mention it to the girl at the register and she gives me this dirty look and takes my burger. I get the replacement burger, turn around to check it...it's wrong too. So I took it back to the counter again...got another dirty look. Third time was a charm and they got it right. I wrote a complaint to Hardee's about it and got a free burger out of it though!
Please tell me that their kitchen was open and you could see them making your food. Otherwise, I'm fairly certain you ate something rather unpleasant that day.
My first job was in the food industry at 16... it wasn't fast food but after seeing what I saw there, I will rarely send my food back unless I can see what's being done to it.

Aside from Vanguard, I've been playing BF2, SSX On tour, Metal Gear Solid 3 (just bought it dirt cheap). Finally finished GTA: San Andreas recently.
As for my favorite game of all time, it's really hard to say. I'm not sure if any game captivated me quite like Zelda, the Ocarina of Time. I loved Betrayal at Krondor. Many hours were spent on Mike Tyson's Punchout. Hmm, can't forget the King's Quest and Space Quests series. Oh, and the little known Sentinel Worlds I: Future Magic. Ultima V and VII. Then there was the old SSI Goldbox games. I'll stop now, the list could go on forever.

So, anyone have any clever ways of generating a name? I know people are gonna post links to Fantasy name generators but in my experience of those, they typicaly suck and produce stupid-looking names.
You my try this name generator. It can spit out some names that aren't great, but you can get it to generate a large number at once and scroll through it for ideas.
