It just shows your lack of enthusiasm for the subject. If you're not willing to take preqrequisites to get to project courses, then it's good that you left. You'll probably find another subject more compelling.
I know 6 people who dropped from ICS. They didn't do it cause they were bored, it's because they didn't understand the material by the time they left the 20 series.
Man, you really are dense. Seriously, you guys shouldn't even mention the film until you understand the subplot of mecha in the movie. It seems the greatest critics of this movie are people who seriously don't get the ending (it was a horrible ending, but certainly had continuity).

I didn't like A.I., but I hate it when people criticize movies without understanding them. Something as simple as a ROBOT MOVIE having ROBOTS is too hard for people to grasp?
Gigolo Joe:You were designed and built specific, like the rest of us. And you are alone now only because they tired of you, or replaced you with a younger model, or were displeased with something you said, or broke. They made us too smart, too quick, and too many. We are suffering for the mistakes they made because when the end comes, all that will be left is us.
An ecosystem will always have fluctuations in population. If there's an overpopulation, there's a very good chance it'll fall again.(ex: if a deer population grows too large, predators will also grow in population and vegetation will decrease. The unbalance will cause deer populations to slow in growth and eventually decrease)
However, sometimes populations become viral and dangerous. If a population faces extinction, it'd be appropriate to relocate, sterilize or kill whatever is causing the extinction.
Humans are an obvious cause of much extinction, but were also the only ones with the tools and the mental capacity to alter such problems ourselves. Well, not all humans have that mental capacity, unfortunately.
No, it's because netscape couldn't even fix simple html render errors. Netscape wouldn't go for 10 minutes of heavy web surfing without crashing. It wasn't until gecko that Netscape became better than IE again.
Perhaps because with more people should come more people making things.
Our new innovations take much more man power to invent than lightbulbs and phonographs. For instance, many countries are funding a massive fusion energy project. That project would never be completed by just a single Tesla or Edison.
There's many more fields of technology than before. Though breakthroughs might not happens as often per person, there's pletny of innovation going on, the resources are just spread out.
Our innovation in new fields such as computers can't be graphed by major breakthroughs and inventions. For every researcher, there's dozens of engineers making smaller but crucial progress.
It's like looking at the last decade of computers and pointing out only the World Wide Web as an innovation. Hardly an accurate measure of technology progress.
I can see my grandma's old Mustang parked outside where I used to live.
The images are pretty old in some areas.
I'll start to get worried when they add 24/7 live images.
Why do you psychoanalyze other people?
Most people who psychoanalyze randomly are insecure about themselves and have to vindicate themselves by learning how other people tick -- however instead of doing it with any concrete basis, they use generalized stereotypes and bad conjecture.
Does it just make you feel better about yourself because you magically know everything about other people more than themselves? Did an unfortunate accident happen when you were younger and now you have to figure out lives through neverending psycho babble rather than utilitarian means?
This thread is a steaming load of hypocrisy.

Any moron can cut education budgets and services and raise college fees. Schwarzenegger's just continuing what Gray Davis was doing. We were pissed at Davis cutting budgets, and now we take it up ass from Arnold, as if it's somehow different.
I play on a low population server and we don't have queues.
We still get lag, but really, it's nothing to really take away from my overall game experience. Dying isn't that big of a deal, so i just get back to my body (and if there's lag wait a minute or two) and res, and forget about it.
People who are saying it's unplayable are on the very high population servers.
3k died in WTC, and then 8k CIVILIANS had to die in Afghanistan.
16k civlians had to die in Iraq, and that didn't have anything to do with 9/11..
The average American does believe his or her life is worth 400 Arabs.
Even "liberals" go on and on about the 1k dead soldiers.. What about the 15k dead Iraqi soldiers? They don't have families and friends just like us? No, because we think our noble lifes are worth more than barbaric Iraqis.
A small percentage would even advocate for nuking the middle east if given the chance.
All that loss of life, and half of Americans are happy about it. Literally half. They call it collateral damage, a needed loss of life.
If you think arrogance is worse than killing civilians, then I pity you.
The world cried and gave homage for 9/11. I don't see any American candle vigils for 160k dead Asians from the tsunami. I don't see any tears for the thousands of Africans and Middle Easterners dying from war.
Half of America really does believe their lives are worth more. Half of us are more worried about American tourists than the thousands of natives.
I might be flamebait, but I'm no troll.
Last week in an analysis of a similar, but incomplete set of data, Dr Stephen F. Freeman from the University of Pennsylvania calculated that the odds of just three of the major swing states, Florida, Ohio and Pennsylvania all swinging as far as they did against their respective exit polls were 250 milllion to 1
. . .
[the incomplete data sidenote:]
However as we also have a set of data from around midnight with which to compare this data, we can tell that the final exit poll results were not that far different than these early results. This in itself tends to suggest that the polling system did not have a systemic bias in its early data as suggested by some commentators in early reports on this puzzle.
In most new automatic digitals, burst is dependent on lighting, not computation. You'll get a longer burst in low light conditions for the same reason you'd change your shutter speed on a manual -- it's there to help, not hinder.

Where does David live?
But is he a CIA agent? Stay tuned!

The article states that patent ratios are also declining, which kinda destroys your argument.
