I don't choke under pressure because I suck under normal circumstances.

Why does the title say Florida?

Hard pass. There's a player better than 24.

The Shadow servers aren't even in LA. They're in Santa Clara. I would actually get lower ping at my house than at "LAN."

The Xeon E5-2620 v4 turbos to 3.0 GHz, so it's not terrible for TF2.
Edit: they're probably running a bunch of virtual machines on each CPU, so it's probably going to use all the cores and not turbo, so NVM. It's going to be 2.1 GHz.
I'm curious about the GPU. I thought Quadro GPUs weren't very good for gaming, but I forgot if there was a credible reason for it.

Anyone got a link? I haven't seen this guy before.

Season 30 Invite confirmed?

A BA in CS from Berkeley is nothing to sneeze at. It's going to get you as far in the computing world as an EECS BS will. My opinion is that, if you're going for a computing degree from Berkeley, EECS is the simpler path to getting the degree. It gets that GPA cutoff out of the way. And they keep raising the cutoff point. It depends on what you want though. The College of Engineering is harder to get into straight out of highschool.

If you're transferring from community college, definitely go EECS. You get admitted straight into the major. Even as a junior transfer to CS, you get admitted to L&S and still have to apply to the CS major.

What year are you? I admit I'm not working from first-hand experience for the quality of instruction. I've heard from Mech Engie undergrads that the professors at Berkeley are dreadful. Especially transfer students notice that their community college professors were much better at teaching. Usually, professors at top institutions are there because they do good graduate-level research, not because they are good at teaching undergraduates.

Edit: Also, I have a compilation of rude, discouraging, and straight up mean remarks that current and former Berkeley professors have made to their students.

Depends on what state you're in. You or your parents might want to consider that, generally, out-of-state tuition is much higher than in-state. "Good" can be very subjective for universities. Depends on if you're looking for quality instruction, a prestigious name on your degree, good experience, or a party school. Here in California, USC would be a good but very expensive choice if you want to network with business people. Stanford, UC Berkeley, [edit: Caltech,] and UCLA are the most prestigious here. Quality of instruction is probably iffy. If you go to Berkeley, major in EECS not CS. I've heard bad things about University of Maryland for CS. UPENN is supposed to be the toughest for engineering, so probably not much nicer for CS.

I'd also recommend going to community college and then transferring to a university for junior year (unless you get a really good score on the SAT). A good community college is usually much cheaper than a university. The classes are also easier. The downside is you miss out on the "college experience," but CS/engineering majors are usually too busy to have fun anyway.

That said, for a career in CS/programming, I've heard that prior coding experience is more important than the degree itself. Companies want to hire competent programmers, not students who can bring home a good report card. Put some time and effort into extracurriculars and programming projects. (But also get good grades. Never hurts.)

Electrical engineering at community college. Right now applying to transfer to a University of California.

I only caught a small part at the beginning, but while waiting for the nerd essay that I hope someone made, here's what I heard:
Global whitelist, not ESEA
Normal map rotation, no Reckoner or Cardinal
$5000 prizepool + crowdfunding

You should totally make a LAN happen for people in your area. Playing with 5 ping is so much better than online.

Hey, do you want responses from infrequent travelers? I don't travel internationally very often. More like every 5 years. It's a much longer trip to get out of one's country in NA than it is in EU.
