Grading Update 8: COURSE GRADES READY The good news: No one failed. The bad news: not everyone got an A. If just passing is not enough click here to find your grade.

And now the moment everyone's really been waiting for: The winner of the best alias contest is: “memory leak”. (The jury of pseduonymists has a weakness for puns on the subject matter of the course.) The jury also was impressed with “Steve the other Reindeer” for the oddness of it and also for spelling reindeer correctly.

Final exam solutions will be posted sometime between this afternoon and the eve of the Spring 2006 final exam.

Have a good break!
