I tried this as well. The first time Shanghai, China gave 100% packet loss for dropbox.com but every subsequent time I have tried all packets have been delivered. Pinging facebook.com seems to drop all packets reliably though.

The letter grades A and A+ are equivalent to 4 "grade points." A- is 3.7, B+ is 3.3, B is 3.0, B- is 2.7 and so on. If someone has a 4.0 this means they received an A/A+ in every class. Depending on the university and the professor, this
