Ingredients for the ULTIMATE STUDENT
A pinch of no social life (that won't be a problem)
6 foot adamantium chain permanently looped around throat and random desk in library when not in class
2 handfuls of energy drinks, liberally dispensed during peak study hours (i.e. 3 and 5 am)
A sprinkling of anti-people clothing that emits loud beeping noise whenever potential friends or mates invade "danger zone" (I'm thinking about a defensive arc of electricity when they penetrate the "critical zone")
Mix in 50 lbs. Of pencils, paper, pens, and ridiculously over-priced text books that must be printed in pure fucking gold and TRANSPORTED STRAIGHT FROM MARS (the planet, not the candy maker) to justify the sticker price.
Boil on high in one big-ass, hot, sticky, actually kinda nice, campus (where I imagine I'll be lost fairly often)
Serve up the ULTIMATE STUDENT along with a shitload of weak, pathetic undergrads that will eventually be thinned out by sickness and predators (some are cool, but most suck. I'm glad I was never an undergrad). Serves 5-8.
I'm only taking a couple of courses. I don't imagine it will be THAT difficult, but I'll be working full-time as well. At least I have my own place in which to enter my cocoon of video games, books, papers, and alcohol and emerge looking something like this:
Except, you know, more bad-ass. And surrounded by hot chicks with guns...and videogames. And money. Did I mention, bad-ass? Because that's really quite integral to the whole "ULTIMATE STUDENT" image.

Is it just me or did the resolution of the page change?

I raised the text size by 30 percent. I think it looks better, don't you?

I personally think it looks worse, but this is completely a personal thing. I have my pc's at the highest resolution because I like the small text and the fact that so much fits into one screen that way. Nothing is more annoying than to sit down at a persons pc who is running it at 600*800 or something huge like that.

hmmm...does anyone else think so? I'll set it down, but i have my pc at the highest rez i can handle, so the small text is a pain.

I have mine set a really high resolution too. But I don't care either way. actually, I hardly noticed until Ryan said anything. I guess it's a little easier on the eyes but I'm used to/like the small font and eye strain.
