That's pretty unfortunate, considering many of those who alienated you were outcasts themselves before they showed up at Rolla. I guess it was all in the perception that people who were CS majors weren't really "SRS" enough for the "real" learning at the school, and were just trying to get a degree without working at it.
Unfortunately, this turned out to be very true with more than one CS major I met there, but again the sin of judging competency based on field interest rather than actual competency rendered us just as bad as the ones who judged us, and I apologize for it.
I'm going to question the validity of this until I've seen some convincing evidence. All I've ever heard in the "why Mizzou instead" dept is going to Mizzou for the girls.
Hey, I think it's there already. I never would've learned very much about early Korean culture without the original Age of Empires. I think it's the same issue that TV had when the ratings war started... went from a decent source of information and ideas to completely mind-numbing in a short time. It'll hopefully swing back soon.
