"A CompSci grad is supposed to be able to do difficult things that arts grads simply can’t understand. "
Absolute bollocks in my humble opinion.
Having done all the difficult stuff on hard real-time mission and safety critical systems I'm often surprised when people can't see how fecking easy it really is. Then again I haven't got a degree in it.
Even assembler is for puffs when compared with writing machine cod patches for an Elliot 920C which involves scouring memory maps for scraps of bytes.
Difficult is diagnosing faults on a Phantom Fire Control Radar.
Even more fecking difficult is trying to write about why virtue was an important theme in Homers Illiad. (My current OU assignment).But I discovered nothing else but depraved, excessive superstition. Pliny the youngerComment

Originally posted by SupremeSpod View PostI meant the subject. Just trying the humour thing out again. You know, practicing for the season of good will and all that bollocks.
Actually the subject is taken up by a lot of girls, which makes the tutorials very pleasant. Otherwise a pretty uselesss subject I agree, apart from the fact I find it fascinating reading stuff written so long ago. I don't find computers interesting at all but some of the applications are, such as the jet engine stuff I'm doing and the EFA cockpit displays.But I discovered nothing else but depraved, excessive superstition.
