  1. Re:Best Advice is to Stand Out on How Will Recent Financial Downturns Affect IT Jobs? · · Score: 1

    Yea, I haven't written any papers but I got a full time internship with an hourly wage this summer that would translate to 60k if it was year round. I'm only a sophomore though and in Texas.

  2. Re:Studying Abroad, or studying Computer Science? on Study Abroad For Computer Science Majors? · · Score: 1

    Nothing in the english/spanish world has the same opportunities in CS as the US, with few exceptions.

    Which leads into my question: where is he currently studying? If the answer is MIT then your exceptions, the big names in Europe, - Oxbridge; Imperial College, London; Complutense de Madrid - are options. If it's somewhere no-one outside his state has heard of, the suitable suggestions are considerably different.

    I study at Rice University...which is up there with MIT and unfortunately very picky with transfer credit.

  3. Re:Medical applications on Nanocar Wins Top Science Award · · Score: 1

    Rice University actually does a ton of research with nanotech in medical applications. If I remember correctly from freshman chem, one of the major research projects going on is using carbon nanotubes to deliver payloads of cancer fighting drugs. The same type of light acitvation used to "drive" the nanocars is used to activate the drug payload. I could be wrong though; I did terribly in that class.

  4. Re:Assembler... seriously on Best Paradigm For a First Programming Course? · · Score: 1

    My institution gives you a choice between C++ and python first semester. Second semester is Java in one course and something that goes from basic logic gates and binary to assembly.
