The first comment would be what I would recommend. I would also recommend checking out Libgen.is during syllabus week
Libgen has a lot of old books/ txtbooks, and you can very easily find your still relevant textbook on there
Oops, that would have been helpful. Here is the Amazon page:
It looks like they only list the global 7th edition though, which is what I already have. I will definitely keep a bookmark around for that site though, definitely will be useful in the future.
Irskep's points are fair enough. Our department definitely has its issues. Right now, one of those issues is definitely size (and, by extension, diversity).
The School of Engineering is undertaking now a massive "Strategic Hiring Initiative" which desires to attract talent to the College of Engineering. I don't know what ramifications (if any) it has for the CS department.
The reason I brought up our debt issues above was a way of kiting the explanation that our department right now is skin-and-bones. Although I haven't been impacted negatively (yet...?) by this, he's right - I do wish I could take courses like "Web Data Mining" or "Programming Language Concepts". Alas. I have not encountered a shortage of required courses.
>The administrative environment is actively hostile to good things.
They are pretty unreceptive, it's true. Though I am still learning how to do this, I think there are little tricks to getting things pushed through. (Going to try my virtual server idea again over the summer -- this time without ITS...)
> The weather sucks
Another valid point.
Even in light of irskep's criticism (most of which is valid), my points still stand. I feel like I'm getting a good education and have had pretty decent opportunities to do research and the like.
Ettinger's Psychology textbook is available for purchase on amazon as a looseleaf text. textbook
Used are available from $32.50 plus shipping. It is not a commonly used Psychology text, so that is why libgen doesn't have a copy.
The publisher BVT Pub offers a new looseleaf copy for $76 plus shipping BVT publishing
Strangely, CWRU's library catalog does not have a copy on reserve, so you can request for a non-renewable loan from another Ohio library via Ohiolink from KSL.
Hah, yeah I got a good laugh at the guy's name too. Poor fella.
I considered using the wifi, but that's significantly slower, and there's some asshats in my dorm that enjoy firesheeping.
I second happyfuntime's request. I've seen https://privacy.io/ and https://www.ipredator.se/ (linked from TPB) thus far. Both are about $7/month
Sorry to hear that air283, the RIAA are a bunch of money hungry douchebags.
I'd recommend against pure snow boots and advise for more of a waterproof boot that would be useful in both rain and snow without looking silly in the former. You will definitely want some form of waterproof footwear as it tends to rain (and snow) quite a lot and you really don't want to have wet feet all day.
I really liked these in terms of both fashion and function:

If you decide you want a reference to master C I would really recommend the book "The C Programming Language" (most programmers refer to it as just K&R). It's a relatively famous book and credited as the origin of the 'Hello world!' program. It's pretty brief at about 200 pages but it comprehensively goes over the language. It only took me about a day or two to read through it. You can find a PDF of it online for free as well.
I took 225 last semester, so I can sell it or rent it to you... Though it's not the same professor, so...?
If you want to buy it though, I'd say you're definitely better off buying from Amazon. http://www.amazon.com/Fundamentals-Thermal-Fluid-Sciences-Student-Resource/dp/0077422406 (I'll sell it to you for a price higher then Amazon's but lower then the bookstore's, if you want the convenience...)
