MoreCooler.com: It's more cooler with the thing

Did you guys know that the GRE has a computer adaptive test?Whether you get a question right or not determines the difficulty of the next one, with more difficult questions being weighed more. This means that the questions in the first third of the math and verbal test largely determines the final score. So, if you get the first few wrong, the difficulty level drops (as will the score) and, even if you get all the rest correct, the score will never fully return to the higher level. It's like losing your 4.0 GPA once you don't get an A.
Knowing the subject matter is not as important as knowing HOW to take the test. No wonder there's a mint to be made in test preparation classes.

new box style works in all the plugins.. still needs to be on some of these inner pages (*ahem* bryce :)

also, i added a cheesy little shoutbox at the bottom of the menu. it doesn't like working in my IE (v6) but it works fine in Firebird. will figure it out later. :)

Soooo, folks. What's topping your Christmas lists this year? No crap about world peace, please. ^_^

My pie-in-the-sky wish:
Canon "Wordtank" IDF-4600 - Watching anime lately, I'm starting to surprise myself with how much Japanese I can pick up. Going to start learning again on my own.

Yeah, yeah, I'm weird. But here's one I'd wager most of us can agree on:
Firefly - The Complete Series DVD - Yes, it includes the never-before-seen three episodes that were never broadcast. Remember, DVD sales for Family Guy brought it back, and Whedon is on record as wanting to continue the series in some format...

So how am I going to celebrate? Get a long overdue haircut. Feel free to throw in suggestions. I currently have an impossible mane more than halfway down my back. Would love to get highlights but don't want to spend $200 right now. Can you believe googling "hot haircuts" returns porn? Uhhh. I would like non-porn suggestions from friends.
