I saw you...
people chatting very loudly in the Athena Cluster. I thought the point of this room was for people to get work done on MIT computers. It's really hard to focus with all of this noise.

I get that it's a weekend, but please respect your peers who are trying to get work done by taking your conversations elsewhere.

kthxbai.

  1. Yeah, it's annoying when that happens.... I'll usually politely ask them to talk a little more quietly, and people are usually nice about it. Maybe that might work next time?

    See A7. You are perfectly entitled to ask them to quiet down. These rules are also often posted in the clusters.

  3. maybe in general.

    But if you're talking about the one at the top of dubtwent (aka "THE CHILLZONE"), then anything goes and you should just dwt, mate. I mean really, what kind of sadist would impose rules on a place colloquially referred to as THE CHILLZONE? Heaven forfend.

  4. irregardless its the same difference and i literally could care less for all intensive purposes so you're point is mute per say

  5. "irregardless." "intensive purposes." "point is mute"

    At least the people talking in the cluster can articulate without grossly abusing the English language.

    tldr you're wasted

  14. But the reading room smells.

  15. And the reading room does not have rows and rows of computers for public use.
