Sun, 22 Apr 2001 22:49:01 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author mulan - There is a skill involved in using Google or any search engine. While Google may provide the most amazing search technology to date, you as the user are still responsible for half the battle-- typing appropriately formed search queries into the text...

The best food in Palo Alto! (Though not the best service.)

Fri, 17 Nov 2000 07:28:52 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author mulan - I can't believe that in all the five years I've been at Stanford, I only dined at Straits Cafe for the first time recently. The food is Singaporean, and at Straits Cafe, the blend of influences from Chinese, Indian, and Malaysian cooking is perfect...

Sun, 4 Jun 2000 21:34:44 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author mulan - Computer Science might be the major for you, but you may not know it. You may believe the common myths and stereotypes about the people and the work.

Myth #1: Computer Science students are nerdy and anti-social.

Economics: Opportunity Cost

Sun, 4 Jun 2000 08:23:59 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author mulan - Don't get short-changed. The Economics Department at Stanford does not focus on undergraduate teaching, and the subject might not be what you think it is. However, economics is still the largest undergraduate major at Stanford.

As an...

Epilady Epilady Classic Hair Remover: No need to shave.

Fri, 5 May 2000 07:59:43 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author mulan - I just had to comment on the Epilady hair remover after reading the other *painful* epinions out there. What a strange device! My sister uses the Epilady and I've watched her use it many times. According to her, it hurts a bit the first or second time...

A Novel

Tue, 2 May 2000 06:31:47 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author mulan - Bruce Eckel's Thinking In Java seems to be a popular Java programming language book. My opinion is that Eckel writes with good style, however, this book is way too wordy. Four lengthy chapters into the book, I still hadn't seen any substantial code...

A piece of art

Sat, 22 Jan 2000 07:04:27 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author mulan - _The Woman Warrior_ weaves in and out of fantasy, through dreams and myths, and reality in a depiction of the world through the mind and eyes of the author. Much of the beauty and originality of the book lies in the mystery and unanswered questions...

A Real Chinese Cookbook

Fri, 14 Jan 2000 06:33:43 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author mulan - If you want to learn how to cook food that Chinese people really cook and eat, this is the book to buy. This book is much more than a collection of recipes-- it teaches the basics of how to cook in the Chinese style. I have compared dozens of Chinese...

I Will Remember You-- versions

Tue, 11 Jan 2000 03:55:22 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author mulan - If you like Sarah McLachlan's music, this song seeps into your soul and stays.

There are three versions of this song that I know of. The one on the Brothers McMullen soundtrack and the one on Sarah's album, "Rarities, B-sides, and other...

Unequal opportunities for boys and girls, courtesy of Mattel

Tue, 11 Jan 2000 00:14:08 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author mulan - For $599 you can get the real thing-- a normal computer for normal people. Why Barbie PC for girls and Hot Wheels PC for boys? Look closer at the two different computers and you will see blatant gender discrimination beyond the surface Barbie and Hot...
