I'm kind of in the same boat as you. I have no idea if I should go for CS or CE or even option number 3; screw it. Also I'm pretty sure that none of the colleges around here have CS or CE and you have to go to a university for that. But after reading all these posts I've concluded 2 things:
1) alot are biased
2) the whole choice depends on your school
Since the prof can decide what you're going to do and going to learn, and since alot of the less tech savy schools think CS == Visual Basic, go with what seems the best according to the advisors/councelors/proffesors, they know what you're going to learn at your college, everyone else is just guessing.
that www.deskcode.com site looks great, stuff is a little broken here and there and needs some more submited stuff, but for a new site it looks like its doing great and has real promise
My school uses microsoft smart filter on its proxy. I have only had recent experience with it and its HORRIBLE. One day I went to slashdot.org and it worked fine, the next day it was banned for reason "chat", now I have to use slashdot.com... also I had to get drivers from microteks site and for some reason they had them in ip/~admin/ and it denied access for reason "public user details" or some crap. anyway thats my 1 cent
The fact that he said "you'd have to buy a new computer" should be a good reason to take anything else he says with a grain of salt. This "sprinkle" crap is nothing like what he's making it out to be, and besides, everyone does it.

I'm surprised nobody has flamed you yet. If you had read the article(s) he is talking about, then you wouldn't be so stupid to say such things.
