  1. How about English? on Learn a Foreign Language As an Engineer? · · Score: 1

    Before you learn a foreign language, get your native one right:
    "If my plans are to one day be involved in research ..." should be "If my plans are to be involved in research one day ..."
    Sincerely,
    An Asshole

  2. James Michener weighs in... on For CS Majors, How Important Is the "Where?" · · Score: 1

    There exists an excellent essay by James Michener on the values of a liberal arts education over a technical one. I think its arguments are relevant to your case: http://www.asahi-net.or.jp/~xs3d-bull/michener.html

    It is granted that the year is no longer 1962, and Michener never did any computer science (that I know of). Still, read it.

    The present $200k raised in the fund drive is about twice what was raised by the same drive in February last year...
