Sure, I have to take physical chemistry, too, but...that's hardly chemistry at all. Haha.

Return your degree, because you suck hardcore. You can do that, depending on the input data set, and available hardware. Bin sort for example. Also, if you have a large number of processors, you can even get the sorting down the ln^2 (n). (ln(n) actually, but it's incredibly bad in practice.)

Well, the substance of my course was all to do with examining how language is applied for different purposes (persuasive, informative, etc, writing for different audiences, different styles, etc etc etc). Then we looked at the history and development of the English language (early, middle, modern English, and the future of the language), and how babies/young children learn how to speak/write English. The exams are good fun.

An almost completely useless course on its own unless if you want to become a linguist... although some companies/Universities consider it to be a good qualification because you learn how to apply the language for different purposes, hence you are considered to have acquired good writing skills. I managed to impress my University when I applied to study Law.

Well, we do the all the basics, so semantics, pragmatics, morphology, phonology and phonetics, language acquisition, psycholinguistics... and we should be able to apply most of these things to basically any language.

THis is actually the best fucking part about legal ethics. Getting to say you're studying law and then telling a poor soul you can't help them.

I volunteered and took on a poor client for an uncontested divorce. Right before we were going to appear in court (literally 15 minutes before) she calls me up crying and says she's being evicted right that minute.

Now, I knew that a landlord cannot legally evict someone in my state like that; they have to go through a 30-60 day process of eviction, so he can't legally spring it on my client the day he's throwing her shit onto the street.

But since we signed a retainer agreement limiting my representation to the divorce, and if I helped her I could seriously be exposing myself to liability as well, I didn't help her. Felt batman and johngoodman at the same time.

>you just can't legally represent him
lulz i don't know where the fuck you are, but in the US legal ethics rules say you can't give legal advice unless you're representing the person, and law students can't give legal advice PERIOD since they are not licensed

technically i've you're a random person, hold yourself out as a lawyer, and give legal advice, you can be sued for legal malpractice even though you're not a lawyer

If it's a person outside the sciences it's either:

or
>You should sell meth

Pretentious physics major response:
>Oh, not that good at math then?

Of course, I work in an electrochemistry lab and do quite a lot of math.

It really shouldn't be that way, there's just some weird culture of superiority that has invaded physics. Of course, most of the physics students who like to get all high and mighty about shit are the mediocre ones. The exceptional ones generally don't look down on other physical sciences. I also firmly believe that the exceptional chemistry undergrads in my department are a good deal smarter than the average physics undergrad. The same is of course true of the exceptional physics and biology undergrads and the average chemistry students.

tl;dr: The best students in most sciences are smarter than the average ones in any other, and only the average ones try to validate themselves by saying their field proves they're smart.

You mean undergraduates shouldn't engage in battles using products of their studies as weapons? Pshaw I say; I firmly believe in the idea that I could walk out on campus at any time and watch a physics major and a chemistry major fight with rail guns and such.
