If you woke up beside the above Escapist's avatar....

[ShockValue]

I'll do that later as well.
[sup] Well, I must be off Scde2. Should probably get some sleep since I have to wake up again in less than 4 hours. [/sup]

 

[Scde2]

I guess I'll just hang out here by myself. Rest well for the short time that you have.

 

[Tharwen]

*Shoots S2*

That should liven up the thread a bit.

EDIT: Evidently not. You! Yes, I see you. Post underneath me! I'm bored. Even if you've never posted here before, post here now! It's fun!

 

[UnusualStranger]

I have returned, rested and restored!

So, the question is, are YOU still hanging about now that I am awake?

 

[Tharwen]

That depends. How much is it worth to you?

 

[UnusualStranger]

A lot of time, I guess.

I really didn't think anyone was still around.

 

[Tharwen]

Ah. Well I'm about to disappear again in about 30 minutes.

 

[UnusualStranger]

Well, thats OK. I should probably get to work on my online exam anyway.

Its due on Tuesday, but I should get it done now.

 

[Tharwen]

An... online exam? What would that be?

 

[UnusualStranger]

A final? Last test of the class? That you can take at home, online?

 

[Tharwen]

But... why not in an exam hall? What stops you from cheating?

 

[UnusualStranger]

Well, being in the technical field, you are expected to use any resources you would ordinarily have available for a job to get your solution.

Its nice to have teachers who actually work in their field.

 

[Tharwen]

Oh, that sounds like quite a good exam style. Which subject is it?

 

[Scde2]

*Throws Thar into a portal that leads to a Justin Bieber concert*

 

[UnusualStranger]

*Pulls Tharwen back*
Conversation here!

....Anyway, it is in Network Defense and Countermeasures.

 

[Tharwen]

So it's network security? Encryption and things of that ilk?

 

[UnusualStranger]

Some of it is, yes.

Quite a bit of it is also physical security, and some of it is different types of preserving data and backups.

 

[Tharwen]

Ah yes. I'm doing some of that in my computing course at the moment.

 

[UnusualStranger]

Oh, you are as well? Fancy that!

Yeah, it was a hybrid class, so the tests and such are online.

@Stranger: I took a computer science class like that last semester.
