Other was all untracked time which ended up being a surprising large amount (almost exactly half).Some random colored pencil sketches from uniform catalogs.Intellectual Property.

These proposals for the space were displayed in the space. 2007.Proposal application form, pg 1/4.Optional cut-n-fold scale model of the space that applicants could use to create 3D mock-ups of the space. The model formed a folder for the paper application materials.Invite.Enjoy. An installation in a student show where a mini-fridge resupplied with Coke cans, sanded and polished clean of all Coca-Cola branding was placed on the floor behind a wall painted with only the "Enjoy" of the Coca-Cola logo. Viewers were allowed to take and consume a Coke without having to consume any Coca-Cola marketing. 2000-1ish.

I am a hobbyist programmer and a network engineer (design, implement and maintain IT infrastructure). I use my old laptop for experimenting with technology/software. Like last week, i finally installed Arch Linux on my old laptop, because I have heard many good things about it.I use the laptop just to testing something, browsing internet, chatting and sometimes play old games (nintento, sega), youtube, etc. I use my old laptop like a desktop computer, by plugging the external monitor.Much of the problem of the old laptops is that you cannot run many modern applications on them. But if you use Linux, you can find many lightweight applications. I have two quite old laptops, one is Acer Aspire 3260 I think it’s from 2006 and the other one is HP Probook 4310s from 2009.Acer Aspire 3260 is an Intel Celeron with 2GB of RAM and HP Probook 4310s is a Intel Core 2 Duo with 4GB of RAM (I had upgraded the RAM before). I installed Arch Linux and use xfce for the desktop application (and midori as browser on Acer).If you don’t have any experience with Linux, i suggest to install Lubuntu (lubuntu | lightweight, fast, easier). It’s a lightweight Linux and you can still enjoy browsing, music, movie from your old laptop. Good luck!

I am not a CS student, but I was asked to answer this (but he couldn't afford my "ask to answer" price). Here are some basic facts about myself:Undergrad in Computer Engineering at the University of Michigan - Ann ArborGPA: 3.87GRE score (old style): 800 math, 660 verbal, 5.5 writingTAed for two semesters for EECS370: Intro Computer Organization (i.e. Comp Arch)Took a ton of graduate-level classesWon the AMD VLSI Design Contest in EECS470EECS NewsDid undergraduate research for two yearsDid 3 internships: two at Intel and one at NVIDIAApplied to Stanford, MIT, Berkeley UT, and Michigan in 2009Only accepted to UT and Stanford Master's. Probably got into UMich too, as they only rejected me after I explicitly told my advisor that I was choosing UT. Chose UT since they rolled out the red carpet for me (full 5-year fellowship with supplemental 4-year fellowship).Two Papers:Andrea Pellegrini, Kypros Constantinides, Dan Zhang, Shobana Sudhakar, Valeria Bertacco, and Todd Austin, "CrashTest: A Fast High-Fidelity FPGA-Based Resiliency Analysis Framework," IEEE 26th International Conference on Computer Design (ICCD-2008), October 2008.Parade: A Versatile Parallel Architecture for Accelerating Pulse-Train Clustering(paper: pdf ; slides: pptx)Amin Ansari, Dan Zhang, and Scott MahlkeProc. 7th IEEE Symposium on Application Specific Processors (SASP)Jul. 2009, pp. 88-93.
