Today I must concede acknowledgement that panthertriad  is superior judge of character. I think he can see into the future.

I must also thank torrain  for assisting in saving my sanity. She proves to me that I am not fully insane in my reasonable expectations of coworkers and other people. Added mention goes to enriching my literary world with better books than they give you in school. Btw, could someone enlighten me as to what Carleton actually teaches their Computer Science majors?

zenten remains a trial, but one I've agreed to keep for a bit.

There are far more people I should thank on a more regular basis, and I'll get around to it eventually.

It was mostly because the compsci graduate I work with knows nothing at all about computer programs I work with and looks thoroughly lost when I talk about embedded images, DPI, tags, and formatting code. I mean, don't they learn some of those terms??

I presumed you were speaking rhetorically, but i figured i would give all of the info. The key thing i can see is that most of the issues you are mentioning are primarily web-related. Comp 2005 and 2405 teach internet programming but they are not inherent program requirements. Likewise they could be totally ignorant of hardware since the degree focuses to a very large degree on software.

They had a 95.100 course that no Computer Science student or anyone else with a semblance of a brain could take. Naturally arts students were more than welcome to sign up.

The first assignment was to go to the website and get the second assignment, which was to e-mail your professor to ask for the third assignment. Not joking.

A friend in res took the course and they had 3 mid-terms all 100 Q multiple choice which just happened to always be scheduled in the classroom I was in right after my class. So I always stuck around to see how 'tough' these were. I got 95% on all the mid-terms. Would have aced the course but couldn't take the final without being enrolled in the class.

Was humourous anyways and wrote a nice scatching article in the Charlatan about why I had to pay $400 in tuition to take OAC Algebra / Geometry NOT FOR CREDIT because my stupid guidance councellor in high school said I only needed two OAC maths and these people could take this B-I-R-D course for credit as a GPA booster.

Ummm yeah, what was the question again?

I managed to take the marginally harder version of that class for science-students. It replaced a semester worth of 2nd year Organic Chemistry for my degree so im definatly a fan. The only downside was dealing with ancient corel suite programs. *shudder*

*shrug* People never believe me when I tell them.. It's nice to know someone acknowledges me...:P
