Annullified.

So it's that time of the year again. The dreaded annual exams. Or as CBSE likes to call it: Summative Assessment 2. Two words: "God Help us!" Wait...that was three. I should have thought this out.

You are under arrest for cracking a lame joke.

So today we got our finalized syllabus for Computer. Before I tell you the harsh reality; here's our tentative syllabus (given at the beginning of the year) :

Summative Assessment II:

• OpenOffice.org Calc - ii

• Societal Impacts of IT

Total Chapters: 2.

Now here's our new syllabus:

Summative Assessment II:

Chapters 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20.

Total Chapters: 15!!!


Oh. My. Freaking. God.

Reaction of the average student. (Toppers are an exception)

So that means I'll have to put 7.5 times more effort. So...if I was studying 2 hours per day, does that mean I'll have to study 15 now!!? I have not the faintest idea.

Jesus Flipping Christ save my soul.

SOPA

It all started with the wikipedia blackout.

Meh.

I had a project to submit the next day damnit! Now where will I find material to copy-paste from?

"Try using the library." "The what?"

I had to find a way around.

Unleash the hounds!

I started snooping around the dark and unknown corners of the internet (read: searched on google) for a way to bypass the blackout. All I got where articles on SOPA and PIPA.

What is that now? SOPA (Some Obnoxious Politician's idea Act) and PIPA (Pirates In Pressure Act) are two acts in the stage of being passed in the US Senate. They are stupid ideas by people who never used the internet. Of course it's the brainchild of media giants like WMG and Disney.

It basically gives the media companies the right to shut down websites supposedly infringing copyrights without any notice. Now do I really need to tell you how exactly that's a stupid idea? It's basically a internet censor like the one China has.

They are watching.

Well if you are interested (which I know you are not, but still) here's wikipedia explaining it in detail to you: Wikipedia: SOPA.

And after hours of research, I found in a tiny little footnote in some obscure site, a solution to the dilemma. FINALLY! And the screwed up complicated solution is: press Esc. Press Esc.

Well you can understand how I reacted. I went complete apeshit.
