Compute This B
-The path of the Administrator is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men.
-Nothing\'s gonna get deleted. We\'re gonna be like three little Fonzies here. And what\'s Fonzie like? Come on, what\'s Fonzie like?
-Cool?
-Correctamundo. And that\'s what we\'re gonna be. We\'re gonna be cool. Now, I\'m gonna count to three, and when I count three, you let go of your mouse, and back away from the keyboard. But when you do it, you do it cool. Ready? One... two... three.

Re: Compute This B
For those of you doing Compute This this year (sadly I can't this year) remember this: This event (graphical part especially) is about 70% attention to details and 30% everything else. If you forget to label an axis or do a bar graph instead of a column graph, your score can fall real quickly.
So what's the site this year? I heard noaa.gov.

Re: Compute This B
Well, I did USGS my first year, and NASA was awful compared to USGS. Any website that needs a brochure to be navigated (I'm dead serious here) needs to be reorganized.

Re: Compute This B
I doubt they would use the same website two years in a row. If the website rotation is always in the same order, than this year is definitely noaa.

Re: Compute This B
That means it's time for everyone to get acquainted with the site. 'twould be wise to check it once a day or so. I found out today that I may be writing the regional test for this event, so Northeast Kansas people, watch out.
