I'm a freshman at a very respected college of Engineering in a university in Ohio. (It shall remain nameless!) As a freshman in Computer Eng, I am finding myself wondering if I even want to finish this major or just hop onto music or computer science. My reasons for debating on leaving computer engineering is that, at least here, I hardly get a scratch at my specific major until my junior year. Thats right - for the first two years, I will hardly touch a computer program for more than one semester. My current semester was cookie cutter for freshman in the engineering school. I have a science, a math, a religion, a history, an english, a mandatory engineering studyhall, a EGR lecture where we can discuss being engineers and learn about the school and how it works, and a EGR 101 class. EGR 101 is when we learn the fundamentals of being an engineer, without a good chance of touching our specific major. The class is random placement modules. Although there is a computer engineering module, I didn't get to get into it. Instead, I'm building composite bridges and writing technical reports on them. Although that may be helpful, it didn't spike my interest in civil engineering enough for me to want to switch over. In two weeks, I'll switch modules into a mechanical engineering module. No, I won't be working on cars, I'll be taking apart a toaster, writing a report on it, then I write another report on how we can make the toaster better. Thats it. We don't actually put that plan into action, we don't even rebuild the toaster - they do that for us.
I'm a very hands on person, and in my first few months of being here, I won't actually have a computer class. Next semester, I'll take an intro to computer programming class. Just one. Then rinse and repeat the gen eds, and in place of the classes that I'll have finished for my four years by that point (chemistry, history, religion), insert Engineering Ethics classes. My friend who is a sophomore Engineer says these are mainly reading and writing technical papers and basic ethics for being an engeineer (do good for humanity! be cost effective!).
Anyway, back to my point - it isn't interesting. Sure, I didn't pay 30k$ to goto college to have it be interesting - I paid to get an education... but where am I really gonna use the History of Engineering in real life? Do I really need almost 12 credit hours worth of ethics classes before I can start doing what I want to do with my life? I really just get the feeling that I came to college and I'm just getting a generalized education out of it. At least where I am going, there isn't a thrill of creating a robot yet, or even learning c# code. Would it really kill colleges to toss us a bone of what we came to do our freshman year? Visual Art majors are painting, music majors are playing, sports medicine majors are already getting hands on experience on the field... and the computer engineerings are in toaster classes.
What ever happened to Novell? I used that at the college I attended - web apps, email, directory, rempote access, etc. Is this no longer a valid option, or was it just forgotten on the above list?
No, it isn't a dupe, and not for the reason of the above post. This article says that the chip is being put into production and stuff with India, whereas the former article said they had just developed the chip.
V for Vendetta is a comic book series written by Alan Moore and illustrated mostly by David Lloyd (Tony Weare did the art for "Vincent" and additional art for "Valerie" and "The Vacation"), set in a dystopian future Britain where a mysterious anarchist works to destroy the fascist government and profoundly affects the people he encounters.
It doesn't matter. I emailed him before the story ran and it's still here. I don't understand the point of putting that link to email the editor on-duty, because no matter what, the changes suggested in the email are never done - whether it be spelling or dupe prevention.
If you RTFA, you'll figure out this is not currently targeting Average Joe with his Dell computer - they are talking to servers, workload clusters, etc. In that case, there is a use for "such a fast Ethernet card".
Yes, because obviously if you write "Roses are red. Violets are blue. Windows XP rocks. Homage to you." all over your wall paper, you can freely rip off Microsoft products as well.
Neat save, but for the originator to avoid the broken image links at the end, is to modify the javascript code wherever the below is found:.src=s[i+1]+".gif"
The array key for s will change in the three instances this is called, but what's weird is that the code will not just swap the picture, but will actually reload the resized image each time. So, you need to change this to:.src="[Keep the quotes, but lose the brackets and insert the folder path for the images]"+s[i+1]+".gif"}
Thank's for saving the images.
I did a search early last week and had image results returned to me in the main search. I've only had it happen once, and I thought it was neat, but didn't think much more of it.
I'm not an electrical engineer, either, but I'm wondering what Dirty Power is?
Is that the unfiltered power that tends to anomilate, per the Monster Cable surge protectors advertising? Or am I thinking of something else?

They just had to add bullettime (er, sword time?) for nastalgia.

No new torrents yet? Can someone please create a new one if you were fast enough to grab the torrent before the tracker went down?
Thanks!
Not that new, but nieve never-the-less.

Well, now that I know that I can post videos to my Xanga and get it published on Slashdot, I'm going to post my vids of the Gigli premier.
