Bacon and cheese, two of the 4 major food groups.
Note the layer of bacon at the bottom of the filling.

I think I just vomited all over my desk.
This is probabably what people do with bad commercial bacon to make it good.
Get me a good bacon from happy pigs, nicely cooked (well cooked, slightly crispy) and I will be a happy camper.
but do not mix it with other crappy ingredients.
I'd rather be phishing!

Just finished 24hrs Accounts exam. Phewww.. In paper, it was mentioned, that exam can be easily completed in 3hrs and there is no one in the whole MBA classroom who could finish it in less than 20 hrs. How on earth can anyone say it can be done in 3hrs.
Need a sleep now and stuck at work...

What they meant to say was it will take 3 hours to write all the answers. That has nothing to do with how long it will take you to read the questions and figure the answer out.
(worst I ever had was 17 hours spent on a machine architecture final)
The prof came back the next week and said "Boy that was a bear to grade, it took me 8 hours". I asked, "8 hours per student?" "No, 8 hours to grade the whole class."
The 20 people in the room all immediately started grumbling.

How do 24 hour exams work? Is it split up over a period of days or something?
|
|
|
|

Well it's a distance exam. Basically paper is released on set time on a day and you need to submit it within 24 hr. It includes proper comparative financial analysis of a given company and couple of more analyzing questions based on investment etc. It may sound easy as one can do it while at home but this was the toughest one I ever encountered. The most productive 24 hours i ever had..lol

I think my longest undergraduate exam, back in 1992, was 4 hours long and that felt like a marathon.
How is it possible to have a 24 hour exam?

Thanks - that makes sense of it all.
In the UK an exam would be generally considered as one sitting.

The toughest exams I had to take were the written PhD qualifying exams. 3 exams, 4 hours each, spread over 3 days. That's still only 12 hours total.
That must have been one hard exam!

I've just seen Microsoft release new firmware for the Surface 2 Pro.
Reading the release notes - once again they have fixed issues with power management and resume from suspend.
Hopefully this time they will have sorted out all the weird crashes I've had to put up with.
It's probably our last change, with the 3 being announced recently.

I see it sometimes with my Surface Pro 2 as well.
Manufacturers cannot seem to get power management right. I have issues with a Dell laptop too. I don't hibernate it, because it returns with the screen looking like it's interlaced on acid (it slowly works its way back to normal after a few hours). I've also talked to other people with different brands that have problems with sleep and hibernate.
