#34 Computer Science Major? in Off Topic
flamedo computer engineering, not science.

bitches love engineers

and by bitches i mean bitches and interviewers.

best decision i made in life.

CS is still an engineering major or at least where I went to school.

lexsI think a lot of people are painting a wrong picture of CS courses here, at least from my experience in Europe.

A lot of people here talk about different programming languages but honestly out of 27 courses I did for my bachelors degree there were 3 courses you might call a programming course and 2 projects that were actual coding but even those didn't teach you how to code but taught you the ideas behind different algorithms. The rest is made up of theoretical computer science, maths and technical computer science for the first 4 semesters. After that I had a few courses I could choose. My topics of choice were Speech Communication, Communication networks, IP-based Multimedia & Perception and a project for a virtual agent. Additionally every student here had to do so called application subjects. These 2 courses must be chosen from non-cs majors i.e transportation. Other than that you have like 2 introduction courses in stuff like management and law.

Regarding work load, especially in the first 4 semesters the work load can be huge. Also having additional maths studies in school will help you out greatly, I'd even say more than having an IT class in school.

Normally you can choose whether or not to take more or less theoretical classes. Plenty of classes also are a mix of them. All depends on the school. You really can't say the work load will be huge for every school.

Basically you're expecting your bias to be the norm, but it's really different depending on the school.

#17 Computer Science Major? in Off Topic
ComangliaPost below reflects that of CS that isn't programming

I was working toward a computer science degree but gave up on it cause honestly a CS degree isn't nearly as important as certifications and job experience (Technology changes fast enough and problems that actually occur tend to make actually classes not worth much). Been working at an ISP for 2 months got promoted from Help Desk to Network Technician last week.

Don't get me wrong a Degree will help a bit and so will classes but make sure you get an internship it's the only way you're really going to learn.

That's not what a CS major is for. You're in IT if you're at a help desk or a network tech. Certifications aren't really important for programming unless you're doing some special system fitting or security. Work experience is definitely important and something all employers really want to see (do internships guys), but I managed to get away with no internship experience with a lot of luck.

If you do go IT, certifications are really important though and honestly usually more important. Getting an AA degree would probably be more efficient than doing a Bachelor's and also getting certificates, but don't take my word for it. It's also not as in demand so I wouldn't recommend it if you want to get hired easily.

#16 Computer Science Major? in Off Topic

CS major is basically all about logic, algorithms, and data structures. You'll probably never really use calculus directly as a CS major. Almost always discrete math or matrixes. Generally CS majors go into programming, but you could be a CS+EE, CSE, Applied Math, Math Computing major, etc to get into programming.

I'd explore other majors to make sure you want to do it. I did it because I wanted to do programming and I'd rather not deal with embedded systems or writing drivers that CSEE or CE people do (fuck Xillinx btw).

Semi offtopic rant, I've also been helping with interviews at work, and holy shit a lot of CS master students cannot code very well. I guess getting a good program does matter because people struggle on the easiest things like FizzBuzz or can't create their own class structures very well.

#18 Roger Federer - Another Grand Slam Passes By in Off Topic
Mr_Owlhe's not the greatest ever, nadal will be considered his superior in 10 years or so

I'd be surprised. People who don't watch tennis know Federer, but less know about Nadal. Federer's got a lot more reputation than Nadal.

#19 My Pc has completely shit itself in Hardware

If a blackout happened, good chance it might have damaged something. I've had a PSU that started having problems after a blackout when it was on. Which reminds me, I should probably invest in an UPS.

#37 Twitch down in TF2 General Discussion
BulletsIt's sad that people have actually written on their heads in Sharpie to try and stop this. You don't stop whiny children by stuffing their face with more candy >.>.

Well, the DDoS did stop after 4 heads were posted on twitter soo....

It's not a long term solution, but hopefully the FBI will do something. It's just a temp fix.

#16 Lightboost? in Hardware

I'm using a Asus VG248QE, turning on lightboost made it really hard for me to see players on dark maps. If I install a gamma ramp program like I did for NS it'd probably be fine though.

#16 Post your rig in Hardware

i7 4790k @ stock 4.0 GHz
Noctua D14 cpu cooler
Crucial m4 240GB
MSI GTX 760
MSI Gaming G45
ASUS VG248QE
8GB Crucial Ballistix 1600 low profile
Kingwin Laser 550W

I bought it to overclock but summer is too hot to aircool. At least it runs super quiet, though I run a loud fan anyways because I have no A/C. I probably shoulda just gotten a higher watt PSU so I could SLI instead (550 SLI is cutting it too close since i have like 3 HD's and 2 SSDs). I'll probably go for 4.4GHz in fall.

#39 Google confirmed to buy Twitch in Off Topic

What they're really after is the streaming market. I'm willing to bet that a large majority of live stream nowadays goes through twitch considering how shit most stream services are. They already arguably have the infrastructures (youtube) but don't have any big streams aside from the occasional live shows. Only thing that matters now is music in streams unless google also expands their music software so that you can stream music through some google license.

Either way, +1 to stability, -1 or more to fun. Twitch is still a sub company of google so it won't change that quickly or drastically until maybe 6+ months down.

#20 dorm room internet in TF2 General Discussion
2cdont UCs have crazy bandwidth restrictions

I was hesitant as fuck to do anything related to UC housing cause I read shit like '10 gigs a week' or some shit rofl

Pretty sure 1 month I downloaded 50 gigs no problem (like free student MSDN alone is 10 gigs). Only thing is if you blatantly torrent movies you can get your internet revoked (never heard of anyone getting caught, but they say they've done it). I think they do throttle you if you use 100MB/s for a decent amount of time (my first 10 seconds seemed to always be faster than the next few minutes) but there's no way it would every really matter since a 3 gig file downloads in a minute or two.

At the very least, UCLA has no bandwidth cap. Also I'm surprised that UCI internet is considered good. I remember my friends always dropping when playing league from there, but I guess its gotten better.
