theres like 3 burrito places within half a block of eachother about a 5 minute walk away from where i work

there's Qdoba, a Chipotle, and a hole-in-the-wall local place which owns the poo poo out of the two chain places and i had to practically drag a couple of my coworkers there because they thought the 'ambiance was creepy' and that the place 'looked shady' when its like right there in the same loving plaza with like a dozen other local places they have no trouble eating at

Would any attractive urban hipster be caught dead in a McDonald's though? I thought only stressed-out and overworked middle American losers actually ate hamburgers at McDonald's.

But I'm pretty out of touch so what do I know. Is McDonald's going for some kind of ironic hipster hamburger eating angle? Like PBR but with fries and shakes? That could work I guess.

no it goes for the 'me too!' validation for the underclasses

it's brutal and awful

rumour going around that windows th will be a free upgrade for windows 8 users: http://bgr.com/2014/09/28/windows-9-upgrade-free-download/

quote:

According to Diantoro, the Windows 9 upgrade will be available free of charge to all existing Windows 8 users once it�s released. Apparently, users will be able to easily install the Windows 9 update after downloading it from Microsoft, which is how Apple�s OS X updates have been rolled out to Macs for a few years now. For what it�s worth, some of the recent Windows 9 leaks did say that Microsoft already has a tool in place that will allow users to easily perform software updates.

It�s not clear whether other Windows users who are on older versions of the OS will get any other special offers, and actual prices for Windows 9 have yet to be revealed. Microsoft is reportedly interested in moving many people from the older, and no longer supported, Windows XP and offering Windows 9 as a free download might be a great incentive for some.

Microsoft is going to soon unveil Windows 9 and release a technical preview of it. Recent leaks, including many videos, have revealed some of the major features coming to Windows 9, including the return of the Start menu, the Cortana voice-based search assistant that�s currently available only on Windows Phone, the Notification Center, support for multiple desktops, and several other UI enhancements.

no word on if that includes 8.1 and 8.1u1 users

do mba programs teach linear programming?

some do, sure, depending what you're interested in

my wife specialized in financial instruments and took classes that covered stochastic calculus, monte carlo simulation, computer modelling

not at the level of a masters math student ofc but if you think that stuff's easy well heh

i may get an mba because i have decent marks and a good gmat, i just don't care about math. like at all. so we'll see

the dirty secret of business school is that they'll take about anyone who's not an idiot, you just need to pay. I looked into going to UCLA for their media mba and they're like "lol yeah we'll take you, that will be $150000 please"
