Where should I attend graduate school? - Page 2

Patrick: it's shamefull cause your final choice seems closely dependent on this forum's members' personal opinions...
I hope you ain't serious, and that you're willing to meet people who've studied in those universities in order to get a better idea of their advantages/disandvantages...

sBibi: just for your information, "marmotte" is "groundhog" in english (thank you my favourite movie, "the groundhog day" )

Patrick is obiously *not* serious

Finally, I decided to vote for UW, Madison. No reason, just "because".

<mode=benjamin> You fool, Nil, you are throwing Patrick into a random university without any reason, you should be ashamed ! </>

([squale mode=on]in fact that because that one is the only one giving the percent of accepted femeles[squale mode=off])

<mode=squale2> But it's only around 1 out of 6, so there are chances that it's higher for the other school </>

Chance is not truth My vote is based on facts, not on hopes

You don't have any facts about North Carolina

I already tried that ... but it isn't enough ...

azerty83 :
I clicked on "Show results", so I can no longer vote i'm sorry because I'm sure that my vote would have been very relevent.

you can mention this fact along with your vote in a post here ... I am sure I would trust you not to have just pretended that in order to vote twice

<mode=Largo>j00 f00l, Nil! j00 are throwing l33t Patrick into an 3v1l random z0mbi3 university without sw33t reason, you should be ashamed! </>

you sure mean l4r60

One vote for Madison:
* They invited my father (who is a poet) for a lecture in 2001.
* They are promoting the GNU project by hosting the GhostScript web page.

"sBibi: just for your information, "marmotte" is "groundhog" in english (thank you my favourite movie, "the groundhog day" )"

so what?
if you're referring to that: "well in fact no, LaMarmotte just told me she prefered cool weathers (I guess it must be because of her hairy body), so I'll vote for North carolina..."
then "LaMarmotte" is her name

and "just for your information", marmotte is marmot in english, and a marmot from french alpes cannot be called a groundhog, sorry. a groundhog refers to a specific type of marmots, that would be insulting for any alpine marmot to be called a groundhog...

Wow, my opinion on Kevin's way of life has grown a little

Karadoc> why is that?

sBibi > speaking of post ./35 ? #confused#

./41> I found it amazing, but I don't know whether it should be considered "positive" for Kevin...

Karadoc> nope, post ./47 I don't see why this would affect your opinion on kevin

lol... well, in fact that just cuz now I know he isn't living in a computing-only universe... there may be a chance for him to find an escape to a certain form of something we can call "normality"

I thought exactly the opposite (how can we explain his behaviour in such conditions?), but your point might be valid too.

OK everyone ... I have decided to close this poll at 2200 EDT (about 67 minutes from now) so if you still haven't voted, please do so quickly!

FYI, 22:00 EDT = 04:00 CEST. So it is already too late to vote now.

Yes, the vote is closed. And not only that, but I have decided to become a dictator. Therefore, I will ignore the will of the people and go to Madison instead.

Yeah, Madison powa! And squale's vote doesn't count, anyway, so it's a draw

Madison rulez !

lol pollux
lol sbibi

patrickd> very good decision, that's what I would have voted in the first place anyway (if LaMarmotte didn't blackmail me ("no tonight " ©) )
