		<description>Props for breaking &quot;GNU&quot; into two syllables. As for the gauntlet... I may be a poet, but I&#039;m not aware of it.

By the way, I&#039;m talking about schools in general (to someone possibly unfamiliar with American ones), and my Catholic schooling in particular. Anyway, even though I&#039;m in college, where anything goes, I still value a little cleaning up for the start of the school year... hence my recent decision to get a haircut.</description>

Reviewing GNU&#039;s GPL
I learned I was going to Hell
Without feeling remorse,
I provided no source,
And I charged my poor users.  Oh well!

		<description>Actually,

&lt;code&gt;throw {Gauntlet(@you);}&lt;/code&gt;

would be &lt;i&gt;much&lt;/i&gt; more clever.</description>

		<description>&lt;i&gt;Parents usually give their kids a haircut before they start school, at least to make them look presentable after the summer.  Some schools require students to have certain hairstyles.&lt;/i&gt;

Are we still talking about &lt;i&gt;colleges&lt;/i&gt;, Jordon?  Oral Roberts or somewhere else?  Or did your dad just like the sixth-grade flashback?

&lt;i&gt;here&#039;s a database of nerdy limericks.&lt;/i&gt;

&lt;b&gt;Aargh I can&#039;t stop thinking in verse!&lt;/b&gt;  I was getting upset that my &quot;Are we still talking about college&quot; line didn&#039;t scan.

But that&#039;s not the kind of nerdy link you can post and not add a contribution.  You&#039;ve got to come up with at least one yourself.  :-)

To avoid hypocrisy:

&lt;blockquote&gt;
To avoid a potential disaster
I used a technique that was faster:
Vector fonts were too slow!
But as letterforms grow
They all look like shit drawn in raster
&lt;/blockquote&gt;

		<description>Get Rich Slowly, Wisebread, and The Simple Dollar are good ones.  Also, if you don&#039;t already, Lifehacker has a ton of great tips.</description>

		<description>Which hair did you get cut?  (Sorry, I couldn&#039;t resist the bad joke.)

Finances are never fun, and they don&#039;t get any easier after college.  You might check out some frugal living blogs for some ideas on living on the cheap.  I only wish I had the discipline and skills when I was your age - everything I know is through experience.</description>
