- A participant is self-studying multivariable calculus (Calculus III) and second-order differential equations in a compressed timeframe, asking whether intensive day-and-night study is advisable to finish in under a month.  
- Discussion of an “autogoogler” script: the idea is to automate Google queries by leveraging WordNet synonyms to generate alternative search strings, then visualize the synonym graph so the user can pick promising query variants.  
- Concerns raised about combinatorial explosion (n⁴ synonym combinations) and the difficulty of disambiguating word meanings without full natural-language processing.  
- Technical implementation options floated: generating Opera/Firefox session files, using KDE’s DCOP to drive Konqueror, or simply tracking the user’s current search session.  
- Broader reflection on the limits of keyword search: Google’s built-in synonym expansion is seen as insufficient, and regex-style OR/AND/NOT operators are viewed as “lame-ass” compared to richer linguistic tools.
