When registering websites like this you should not run it through GoDaddy ffs lol. Unless you actually do want to be arrested, especially considering that you live in the USA.
I was able to find your first/last name and home address within seconds, as well as your email address and phone numbers. It's right there in the open and any background check will see this.
If you actually want to host a website like this host it through tor or don't bother hosting it at all, especially if you live in the USA. Thepiratebay was located in Sweden and they still got raided, and you have a very similar site architecture to them in terms of the service you provide. Your "legal policy" will not prevent you from getting sued into the ground at all.
I would personally advise you to take this site down before it attracts any actual attention, maybe store a copy of the site/search index locally for you to use for yourself.
PS:

Is quick guide if you do want to host something like this through TOR.
Also be sure to keep in mind that even TOR is not 100% safe as the US Govt. runs several major tor nodes.

Also, get a better carabiner, and don't attach it to a water bottle cap holder. You can toss out that bottle opener and get an S beaner on amazon for almost nothing, that is a double sided bottle opener, from https://www.amazon.com/Nite-Ize-S-Biner-Carabiner-Bottle/dp/B0037H3EB0/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1509234638&sr=8-1&keywords=nite+ize+carabiner+bottle+opener
Strongly recommend this cerave cream! I struggled with eczema for years and had huge scars on my arms from it, this cream completely got rid of them and worked better than any prescription lotion.
If the laptop is broken, you might want to consider sending it back and getting it fixed/replaced if it's still under warranty. It's entirely possible that you just got a bad battery and there's nothing inherently wrong with the rest of the system.
If it's not under warranty anymore or you're deadset on getting a new one, I'd hate to say it but the laptop market is mostly a crapshoot. There aren't really good or bad brands, just good and bad engineering, good and bad parts, good and bad samples. If all you want is a thin and light with good battery life, $800 range, take notes and not do too much else, this might be a good option for you. But definitely shop around in any case, see what you can find.

Don't use Tor for torrenting. It's really slow and messes up (congests) Tor's network.
Just get a VPN and use that if you don't want to wait to do it at home. I personally recommend AirVPN but most of them should work just fine.
Here is the link to the Airbnb house we already rented: https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/8194762?guests=8&adults=8&children=0&infants=0&s=kL5Z-s1r
It's a really nice house and we rented it with a discount since I rented it last time and the owner liked me.

I know it looks super sketchy but click on “Get” and it should start the pdf download. The main site is libgen.io and I’ve been able to find the majority of my books on there. I’ve never had an issue with viruses, it’s just that the download pages look sketchy. I’d recommend using an adblocker program too.
No problems, It's a really nice trail. It's split into a south and north section by the dam, there's no way to get to one from the other without driving. The south section parking lot is here: Parking Boston Post Road, US 6 Location: geo:41.74764,-72.16398?z=18 https://osmand.net/go?lat=41.74764&lon=-72.16398&z=18

You have to install antivirus on your mac now to appease it. Tried to avoid it for as long as I could but it eventually locked me out of the network. I installed ClamXav and enabled ClamXav Sentry in Prefs (just have it monitoring my downloads folder) and it's stopped giving me crap.
The new app is Transloc, but I don't think it's operational yet.
We have two limited routes running, campus route 1 and campus route 2
We have a facebook page for buying and selling. It might be more helpful than asking on reddit.
People sell textbooks there all the time.
I'm sorry that I don't have a link, or a facebook account anymore, but I'm sure someone can post it for you.
From what I recall, you might have to get approved to join it, but it's not a big deal. I just took a picture of my UConn ID and put it up when I did the request, and got the approval pretty quickly.
If you just want a PDF version, it's not showing for me, under that name. On Amazon it shows up with ISBN 978-1626610361, but it seems rather obscure, or my search skills are failing me today, because the copy I see doesn't even have a single rating. https://www.amazon.com/Companion-Human-Evolution-Sally-McBrearty/dp/1626610363
Hope that helps. Anyways, try our facebook page for assistance. We're not a large ANTH school, so you probably won't find a lot in that major here.
Go on Amazon and order yourself a meter for $15. If your voltages are normal and your fans don't spin, it's probably a motherboard problem.
Well, I don't know the address, but Google Maps says it's approximately 58 Cisar Road. Here's a picture of the building on StreetView. Can't make out what the sign on the building says, but if you drive or bike out there I'm pretty sure you can read it clearly. I've never been to the place because, well, I don't give a shit, but I know they've been there since at least Spring 2010, and in all likelihood a hell of a lot longer than that.
I mean, if you don't want to bootcamp it, you can always just use a virtual machine on your computer using something like https://www.virtualbox.org/. It's just running a Windows environment within a MacOS window, so you won't have to boot back and forth to both operating systems. Takes a bit of technical knowledge, and might be a bit slow if your Mac's hardware sucks, but it isn't that hard to do. I wouldn't waste your Windows 10 key on it though.
Get in touch with Students for a Sensible Drug Policy. Current USG Prez is very active (if he's not still acting president of the group...) and other members are stepping up to the plate to get some sit-downs scheduled with the Director of Student Affairs.
It's a little hypocritical for me to encourage you to be active, I just wish I had the time to do more.

For us Google Chrome users there is Chrome Nanny which has a ton of options for restricting websites and whatnot including bring able to allow X minutes per hour or white list certain sections of blocked website, i.e. I block www.reddit.com but can allow www.reddit.com/r/chemistry if I need to ask a question.
It is only unavailable in the USA as a result of the complaint. It's still available in all other countries. I believe that's how it works with Google most of the time, they only remove the app in the country where a complaint is filed.

http://scrapy.org/ http://doc.scrapy.org/en/1.0/ I just embedded putlockers images for the videos/tv shows because I did not want to store anything on the server so if any legal issues did happen I would just receive a pile of DMCA takedown notices where I just have to take down the links. Also the entire site runs < 100MB of space.
You can make a manual rule.
No need to rely on the univertity's policy.
Open a browser.
enter mail.google.com
login in the upper right area with your uconn email address and password per normal, so your login is [email protected] (or similar) and your email password for it.
Click on the settings icon, in the upper right (it kind of looks like a cog).
Click settings.
Click on the tab that says filters and blocked adresses.
Click Create a new filter, and enter the relevant target info.
On the next screen tell it to skip the inbox, mark as read, apply the label "junk mail" or "spam"
You can also selesct delete it, never mark as important, etc.
​
Now you know how to have a hard filter that is completely separate from the university and can block that site completely. I would also repeat for any obvious keyword they use and make a rule for that as well, in the event that they use multiple url's to spam from.
my amazon app is glitching for some reason so i can't find the exact items i got, but here are similar items!!
fitted mattress topper unfortunately this one is out of stock atm but i'm including it so you know what to look for!!
i put the fitted topper over the foam pad to hold everything in place!! i had little to no slipping. i understand that these items are expensive, but in my opinion it's totally worth it!!
I don’t have the exact measurements but maybe what I ordered would help you

And this rod: Maytex twist and shout window... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00TV26C0U?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

I'd suggest going through this book: https://www.amazon.com/Learn-Python-Hard-Way-Introduction/dp/0134692888/ref=sr_1_3?crid=EMK1FE1XYFYU Don't let the title fool you. It walks the reader through exercises from extremely simple programs to running a text-based game as a web server. Everything from installing an IDE, to setting up projects with test cases.
According to this thread, UConn gets its soup from Blount. You can buy it on amazon for $98 :)

That will take the paint off before anything else. I don't know if you'll get charged for damage, but it will strip the finish off of wood if you apply enough.
For medium strength, you can consider less than industrial level, or use a staple gun.
And like saltzgiv said, you can try http://www.amazon.com/Command-Medium-Picture-Hanging-Strips-12-Picture/dp/B00I2XSWSY command tape. It won't hold as well as industrial level hook and loop, but it will hold up lighter things pretty well.
I would say a fully covered LCD TV would hold from industrial, but a flag should hold by command strips on each corner. You just might need to use a tack into each strip and use rubbing alcohol to clean the surfaces first.
I got it as a gift a while ago, totally forgot about it, but I also found it here.
This doesn't directly answer your question, but have you tried using CamScanner? I've found it to be sufficient for most cases.

Two ideas. Sleep with the window shades up so sunlight can help. Buy LED strips and an outlet timer such as this so that it comes on when you need to get up and turns off when it’s bedtime. Together these were really effective for me last semester. Only thing they don’t do is force you to get into/out of bed!
I thought you were shitposting at first because today's a Sunday, but then my brain kicked in and I realized you meant tomorrow.
Road conditions look pretty horrendous and weather.com claims "MOST OF THE SNOW WILL FALL LATE TONIGHT THROUGH MONDAY MORNING, THEN LIGHTER SNOW SHOULD LINGER INTO THE AFTERNOON" so I'd bet that morning classes are cancelled and afternoon classes might be.
A really helpful resource to find some of the smaller unknown preserves and trails is going to be OpenStreetMap. I've been trying to update it (before corona) and include some previously un-mapped trails from GPS traces I've done. Just pan around and you should find overlooks, trails and notes on points of interest.
Same thing happened to me last semester leggit skipped all my alarms. AND I have alarms in 5 min increments. I can't wear my watch to sleep because i usually charge it at night. After researching a bit i bought this alarm clock ( https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07J6N957X/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1) it literally shakes your bed if you keep it under your pillow. Never missed a class since then smh.
I think you do your story a disservice by exaggerating how cold it was. This doesn't change the outcome or why this is a terrible incident but it gives critics and doubters reasons to doubt your story unnecessarily. In this time you need to be accurate in order to stop the idiots from calling "fake news" on everything.

I'm an undeclared transfer student at UConn for Fall 2015, but I know a thing or two when it comes to computers. You shouldn't need anything more than 8GB of RAM. I do some computer programming and I don't need anything crazy out of my system to build and compile my programs and applications. The 1TB HDD and 128GB SSD sounds a bit excessive if you aren't using it for gaming. Since you have a nice desktop at home I would maybe try and find something in which you can supplement storage space for other specs.
I just sold my ASUS Vivobook which was running an intel core 4th gen i4200u processor. Hated it. It was supposed to be a smart balance in terms of performance and battery life but it was just not powerful enough for my taste. I can't say much about the 5th gen but if you are picky about processors like I am, I would maybe try and find something in which you can have a stronger processor but still with a SSD.
For the first time in my life, I've switched from Windows to Mac OS X and it's an amazing computing experience. I'll also never go back to a HDD in my laptop. I know Mac's will be too far out of your budget, but who knows, maybe you can find something pretty on the refurb store.
Costco will have some great options.

I had been doing The Odin Project which is a mooc but I gave up after a while because it felt like too much for me 😂 you would definitely learn a lot. They also have a discord where you can discuss and ask for help. Here’s the link for the site: https://www.theodinproject.com/
This is a very famous issue in academic freedom circles, especially back when "information wants to be free" was a popular slogan. If its an interest of yours, I can't recommend enough that you read about the life and death of Aaron Schwartz. I hesitated to reply, but the responses so far do not seem to be aware of the movement that used to exist around the issue.
There are some other ways to keep access long term. One that seems relatively safe is that there are academic freedom VPN networks where VPNs hosted by universities give access to sites available through those universities. The most famous may be VPN Gate created by the University of Tsukuba in Japan (note: not all the VPNs they catalog are university-based).
There are other options of more and of less legal and moral dubiousness. Its not an area I am active in, so I don't know what the current methods are, but you might be able to find more info elsewhere..
I would hold off.
You can get the 2006 version for under $20:
Wait until the first day of class and find out what's ok.
There's no doubt that the world of macro economics changed in 2008, due to the financial collapse (sort of, not to digress about the failures that took place then and after), but unless there are specific homework assignments from the book (which you could likely ask a nice student to photocopy for you), I highly doubt you'll be covering the crisis in such depth that going to class wouldn't be adequate.
Not to sound rude about Mr. Yang, but I had to speak up and say who was President of the US when we adopted a strong neoliberal economic policy in the US (hint, the 1980's). Granted, I'm older than most students, but I doubt you'll get nitpicked on what happened from 2006-2009, or what the difference between keynesian and neoliberal means. Most of the financial sector doesn't even understand it, and those that do are the dipshits that got bailed out.
I still have my intermediate macro book around here, and don't really need it, if you want to borrow it. Micro you should hold onto. Different author, but it's not rocket science.

WhoSampled.com. Basically, enter any artist and it will give you lists of who's sampled them, who's covered them, who they've covered, and who they've sampled, all sorted by song.
It is pretty much the TVTropes of music (aka a linkhole), so don't venture over there in the wrong... state of mind, or if you're not willing to lose some time. Unless you have that cool "self-control" thing people talk about, in which case, how does one go about developing that?
yo. this class. is the worst fucking class in the world.
i have no idea what to study whatsoever. the study guide is so shitty and all over the place, the professor isn't clear (although he is a great guy and pretty funny i'll give him that), and i'm just absolutely struggling over here.
i did find this, which doesn't help much but its something.
It depends on your subscription, but there are alternatives above. Anyways, the only great thing about office is onenote, and to some extent (and I say some extent with a wide margin of saltines, is outlook, but only for business). The rest can be done through windows, or using libre or open office.
So I lived in Hilltop Apartments last semester, I wouldn't bring a mini-fridge, I'd actually bring a small chest freezer instead. The fridge part was fine, but that freezer was the bane of my existence. I never had enough space for my frozen food, and that was just with three people in the apartment. It didn't help that all the metal shelf parts in the freezer were gone, so everything would fall out as I piled it on top of each other, but still.
Also, every time I closed the fridge, the freezer door would pop open. I had to buy these adhesive child safety locks to keep it closed.
They've occasionally been putting some new ones in apartments, so I'm not sure if the old ones I was using are in your apartment.
I'm able to disable the WiFi on my printer, you can do that with most printers. Then you're able to directly connect it to your computer using a USB Type-B to Type-A cable, so I wouldn't worry about that.
Though there are people that do it anyways, you're not allowed to bring a router. Your router interferes with the university WiFi by crowding the several channels 2.4 GHz can operate on, which can make the WiFi worse for everyone. I've never heard of anyone that's gotten into trouble for it, but for the most part, the university WiFi works good enough that you really don't need one. If you're going to do it anyways, at least turn down the broadcast power in your router settings so it's not blasting 100% power across the entire building.
I'd say an ethernet cable is worth it if you come across situations that require a stable connection, like test-taking, gaming, or downloading. I'm pretty sure that they upgraded the ports in East, but don't quote me on that.
A printer is a great investment if you don't enjoy walking halfway across campus to print out your worksheets/essays. I have a Brother HLL2395DW Laser Printer that I hook up to my PC via USB, it's reliable, the toner is cheap and it lasts forever. If you're on a budget, the Brother HL-L2300D is also a solid choice. Both print in monochrome, but it's well worth not having to deal with bullshit inkjet refill prices.
Gotya Gotya. In that case this rice cooker would’ve great too. I can’t cook rice properly for the life of me and it goes well in so many dishes 😭
Only way to learn proofs is to do proofs. Look into induction, binomial theorem, even just start with something simple like prove sqrt(2) is irrational.
If you have Rogers buckle in for a wild ride. This is the book. Not a great book but it is a good list of topics.
I took this last semester and I really liked it. I'm not the best programmer in the world so I struggled (I got a B-) but I definitely learned a lot. The one thing I don't like about the class is that there was only one in-person lecture per week, and the rest of the learning was done on your own. I personally like classes with three lectures a week. However, you learn a lot about C++, and Yufeng - although dry at times - does an solid job of teaching; he's really knowledgable. The final project we had to make was a console text editor from scratch, using different OOP patterns. Honestly, the project was really intimidating for me when we first started, but it ended up the being the best class assignment I've had in college just cause of how much I learned. Even though I had trouble, the TA I had was really helpful and students shared a ton of information with each other on Piazza as well. I think in difficulty, the first part of the class (just learning C++) is similar to 3100, but the second part (the OOP patterns and semester project) is definitely harder, albeit a good learning experience. Here's the book we used if you wanna get an idea of what kind of concepts were covered in the second half. Personally, I would recommend the course. Even though it's hard, it's a good learning experience with a smart professor.
Other options I would say would be surface pro lineup. Problem now with amazon is laptops are in short supply so surge pricing is being triggerd probably can find similar or same laptop if you look around more.
As for mac books I would stay away from them bellow 1k. I have a 2016 macbook pro with touch bar for 1400$ but windows gives a better computer. I'd only go with a macbook if your a fan of macOS else stick with windows as they have improved a lot.
Do not use Tor to torrent. You will get shit speeds and you will cause others in the swarm to get shit speeds.
If you really want to torrent on campus, get either (a) a seedbox, like one from Feralhosting.
Both of these options not only let you torrent on campus but provide encryption so UConn couldn't see what you're doing even if they wanted to.
Edit: Oh, you can also leave your computer on at home and tunnel through it, if you want. I haven't tried this, but probably the best solution is either an SSH tunnel (if your computer at home runs Linux) or OpenVPN. I haven't really tried setting up an OpenVPN server, so I can't help you there. The bonus is that this is 'free' (you still pay for your Internet/electricity at home, of course). The downside is that your computer at home must remain on all the time.
There are a few ways.
The shittiest way is to use Tor (or another onion routing network) to torrent. Some people may suggest this. Please don't. Others rely on Tor for anonymity when they really need it. Torrenting on it puts a very heavy load on the network just so you can listen to some music without paying for it.
The other ways, unfortunately, cost a token amount of money. You can either run your torrents through a VPN (for this purpose, I hear AirVPN is a nice, secure provider), or use a seedbox (like one of the Feralhosting slots) to download your torrents and SFTP them back to campus.
There may be other ways to get torrenting to work, but unless those other methods involve encryption/obfuscation, you're leaving yourself vulnerable to a load of trouble.
Edit: If you use a VPN, you will probably have to change your DNS server to something other than UConn's DNS, since they block external connections.

If you do get a Fluke, it'll last you a long time. I've had mine from the Navy, for almost twenty years, and it's still strong enough for a truck to drive over it and keep working. There are plenty of companies that sell spare leads, as well, so the most common thing to be damaged can be easily replaced on the cheap.
Not gonna lie though. It's rather large.

Weighs about as much as my laptop, and is twice as thick. Can be used for self defense in a pinch. It's what they issued the electronics specialists for subs, so it's meant to be rugged. Not sure what they use today, but probably something similar.
Depends on how far you walk.
Moon boots, that are high, and leather, if you're going through bad snow.
For on campus, I'd go for first responder boots. Less weight, and good grip on all surfaces.
If you're in the dorms, or park in the garage, I'd go for the latter, with a good coat of kiwi water resistant spray.
You really don't want massive boots on, all the time, unless you're going through heavy snow.
You might look like a dork, either way, but smaller, with good grip, is my choice, unless I decide to get extra walking in and hike to campus. Just make sure to have good socks, that can tuck in, along with your pants. Zipper sides on the boots, with a velcro clasp is a good bonus. Easy on, easy off.
Bean boots wouldn't be my first choice, but they should work just fine if you don't have the cash to get an all weather set of responder boots.
I use : https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000V2J92W/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&th=1&psc=1 for bad weather
And a large pair of hi-tec moonboots for when there's two feet of snow. Anything under 6 inches in my way, and I just tuck into a pair of the ones above.
Alright, here's what you need to do.
If you have Abbott for 1107 (I assume you do) then use this book.
It's exactly the same as the one assigned from the stupid, overpriced bookstore.
Read it. Go over it every night. This is your Bible now.
Your other Bible is the study guides that Abbott posts on HuskyCT. They're full of questions, right? Answer them. Look up the information, and answer those questions like you're explaining it to a fifth grader. Think you understand the topic? STILL ANSWER THE QUESTION. Keep the answers in a GoogleDoc, so you can review them later on if need be, or sell them to your classmates like I did.
Lab sucks ass. Pay attention and READ your manual. If you dick up on too many pre-lab quizzes, then your grade will drop. Same goes for the lab practicals. They can be both grade boosters and grade-killers depending on how well you do. PAY ATTENTION IN LAB.
You have a fighting chance. Keep in mind that I say fighting, because you're gonna need to work for it. Abbott may sound like a joke in lecture but he is brutal with his tests, and since you dropped the ball on this first test you'll need to up your game. Go to the review sessions before the tests, pay attention in your labs, ask the TA's questions and fill out your study guides. I was just like you and dicked up on the first test, and I managed to get an A in the end. I had to work my ass off for the rest of the semester, and you will too if you want to pass.
Good luck. PM me if you have any other questions.

Besides the mobile app pairing aspect, how do you differentiate your coffee maker from those that are already on the market, say, this one from Miele in Germany?
or this from Jura?

Wrapped in paper! Well that's not sketchy at all, but it may be to avoid any confrontation with your RA, as routers are not allowed in dorms.
If it's a switch, the both of you would be dealing with the same issue. Devices like those can't really differentiate between two connections, so he couldn't be throttling only your connection.
EDIT: This might be the device OP. Can't be certain, but it fits the size, color, and port arrangement. If I'm right, then he plugged in all the cables correctly.
I would start with a bridge camera, because they're pretty solid these days.
Sony has high pixels, but tends to be grainy.
Panasonic, Canon, and Nikon, all have high zoom bridges, and are relatively similar in performance.
Make yourself comfortable at http://www.dpreview.com/ if you want solid advice. That's a good source of unbiased information. They can assist you with what you want.
I could make suggestions, but people might take it as a biased example, so I would rather prefer to suggest you check out that well respected site.
I've used canon, nikon, and panasonic, dlsr's, as well as P&S's from each, and personally I would say that all are solid.
You could consider basic reading like: http://www.amazon.com/Tony-Northrups-DSLR-Book-Photography-ebook/dp/B006KY2VZ2
And learning lightroom, as a start. It's hard to tell what your "very small budget" is, based on those words, but I would suggest $300 for a used bridge camera is reasonable. About the same, if you prefer a pocket P&S. $1200 for a DSLR with a lens or two. $10,000 for a DSLR with a full kit of lenses. About $45,000 for a proper setup of each. I would suggest reaching out on dpreview.com first, and letting them know your budget and what you're looking for. I could assist, but they will be more knowing about current gear.
Certainly stick to Canon, Nikon, or Oly(Panasonic), for now. Those will be your main companies, so your lenses will hold more value over time.
/I personally use a sony pocket P&S, but at $700, it's not what I would recommend for a beginner, especially as it's a pocket cam. That's better spent on a starter DSLR, or a bridge camera and a flash.
The Coop sells ear plugs near the lab coats section. CVS also sells them.
Amazon:
This is a really good eyemask that also comes with a really good earplug.
This is good to have in general if you go to loud concerts or areas with lots of noise. You will be able to still hear, just softer.
I own both.
That worked for me. If you want to play anywhere around south let me know! Also check out the Uconn Smash 4 club on facebook.
I'll also point out that Amazon has plenty of Twin XL-sized sets. Not much more expensive than Walmart's stuff, and I think they're better:
Get something that's all weather. You don't need huge boots. You don't need boots that are for looks either. You want something that breathes well, and is easy to take on and off.
If you're a commuter, you definitely want something that isn't overly large, and if you are going to be wearing them for 8-10 hours at a time, you want something that isn't pure rubber.
Basically, you want to look for "first responder" boots, that won't be clown sized, but have solid tread. Zipper on the side, and not too high (6-7") is good. You can spray boots that are breathable with kiwi waterproofing, to assist in keeping out moisture, but the last thing you want is nasty trench foot, so skip the overly aggressive fully sealed boots, or anything that is going towards knee height.
You don't need to spend a lot, as long as they fit comfortably, are mostly waterproof, and breathe well.
Something like this will give you a compromise: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00CHHS9UW/ref=pd_lpo_sbs_dp_ss_3?pf_rd_p=1944687622&pf_rd_s=lpo-top-stripe-1&pf_rd_t=201&pf_rd_i=B007RLD0B6&pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_r=024W5ZG7DK1J9861FWE9
You aren't going to war, or fishing in them, so stick to something you can drive in, put on easily, and is comfortable. Pretend you're an EMT, and you'll figure out what you should wear. Nothing absurd, but something that is practical and has solid grip and weather resistance. This isn't Alaska. You'll probably see guys in crocs, in january, jogging in shorts, too. They might be crazy, but they also know that when they get to the library it sucks to have a massive piece of leather on your foot that is covered in sweat all day long.
If in doubt, ask an EMT. They'll tell you what works well, because they burn through boots every few months.
I took most of these classes last semester so I might be able to help.
2100: I think the book will depend on the professor for this class, but mine was this one. If you could avoid taking it with Huang I would, he's pretty bad and makes the class a lot more painful than it needs to be.
2300W: I'm assuming Keith Barker is going to be the only one teaching this class again, which is good because he is a very good and fair teacher. I don't remember what the book is but you don't really use it anyway so it doesn't matter.
2500: I am currently taking this class with Russell, but I think he's only teaching this class because they changed the format of the class. However if he is teaching it again next semester I would reccomend him, he's pretty good. Here is the book we used for the first half of the semester.
A cheaper alternative would be a netbook. It's not a great option if you need to run ridiculous software (ie, mostly engineering software), but it should get by on simple things like using MS Office, internet browsing, watching movies, etc. Oh, and they're super portable.
Here's an example of a netbook for $300.
11.6" HD display
2 GB DDR3 RAM
16GB Solid State HDD
1.3 MP webcam
Intel Dual-Core Processer (1.66 GHz)
Google OS
HDMI
2 USB ports
6 hour battery life
3.2 lbs
etc
