CS does not teach you C++, Java,.NET. I think you are mistaking that for CIS or CPT whatever the tech equivalent was called at your school.
If you think your business degree will mean the same thing in 20 years, let me spoil the surprise, it won't.
Forget the whole division between majors for a second but working hard or semi-hard for 4-5 years does not give you a free pass for the next 20. You'd better be able to continue to learn new things. That's the trick in college, LEARN how to LEARN on your own and you'll be fine.
Now back to the whole CS vs MIS thing, I'm willing to bet that CS guys will be able to learn and grasp new concepts and technologies must faster and easier than an MIS major will. Not saying it's true in every case, but hey that's why I'm betting right?
What are you insane? People can barely install the software on the crappy little AOL discs (disclaimer: I don't know if that is true since i've never known anyone to actually install the software that comes on those cds) but you want them to start doing OS installs? that sounds like dis-f*cking-aster to me:)
Can't we have ONE post about a game where some obligatory whiner doesn't complain about the state of gamplay these days? Ok we get the f*cking point, you want great gameplay.
These guys just wanted to show off their work, sheesh.
In other news....
In order to please BoldAC, Nvidia and ATi both announced they will not only release any faster new cards for the next 10 years, but they will start releasing slower ones.:)
"In some cases it's real simple. World of Warcraft basicaly throws a specular shader on a bunch of stuff to make it shiny. Cheap trick, but nice visualy. "
That confirms the fact that you don't know what you're talking about. In WoW there are actually 2 different versions of the terrain texture. One version contains the specular lighting information in the alpha channel. This is where the pixel shader obtains the the spec lighting info.
And I think he was using sarcasm to point out that just because you don't have a job that can afford you to buy these games, that it validates you pirating the games.

Are you joking? Batman 1 has two villains!!! What about the incredibly evil playboy Jack Palance??!!
IT people are not necessarily smarter
I'd say more often than not, they aren't smarter.
Afford? Not exactly. Thank you, Purdue Research Grant!
In college I had a 22" IBM T221 Sure it was an unbelievable display, but try writing code at 3840x2400 ;)
also it needed atleast a nvidia quadro 980 to be worth a damn.
I am sure that there are others like me, the only reason I bought an Xbox was because it *was* hackable!
...Because they are OBVIOUSLY marketing this thing to you.
I use it in a 'hacked state' far more often than 'straight'.
well you'd know if: 1) You'd read the mother-f*cking article. 2) actually 1) is sufficient.
I'm sorry, I'm not willing to live on foodstamps, because you don't think my games are fun or creative.
They tried to push TBR (tile-based rendering) on the world...

America (The United States) IS a religion.
Think about it, what else but religion, can do what the U.S. does?
Christ will free your soul. Coca-Cola will quench your thirst.
Buying a console just on principle? Not into the whole "informed purchase" are you?

A publisher willing to pay for a linux version would be nice.
it's all about the dolla, dolla partner.
Gamers with Jobs should be Gamers without Girlfriends.
Hey maybe if you linux users get a version of Visual Studios, you guys can see what you've been missing.
I'm afraid you may be one of the last rational people left on Earth.

SINCE the athlon? I'd reckon to say since the K6-2.
Python? Perl? Java?
Is your head buried THAT deeply in your own ass?
I'd say the bigger advantage of the SGI machines was the shared memory system, which made DLB easier.

sorry, this whole "Fun with co-workers" seems a little Office Space to me :)

Jobs, is that you?
