JeZ: Awesome! So you'll be taking Computer Science then? Sounds fun! Laz: Hey! JMan is me! ------------------ |

Lazarus Member Posts: 1668 From: USA Registered: 06-06-2006 |
Sounds more like hard work to me, Mene... JMan is you? I am so confused. |

jestermax Member Posts: 1064 From: Ontario, Canada Registered: 06-21-2006 |
i've already taken computer science at college and was somewhere around the top of my class (although most of the class can't even code java so i guess that doesn't mean much). actually i'm hoping my grades will get me some cash (bursaries). i'm going to be moving out on my own so i'll need all i can to survive @dartsman: i've got 7 months until i go and plus when i'm there i'll probably have gotten a fancy desktop so i'll be able to do even more work on "the project" |

"the project"? Oooooooooooh...  |
|
jestermax Member Posts: 1064 From: Ontario, Canada Registered: 06-21-2006 |
well i didn't want to say anything but we're invading a series of tropical islands with our army of robots....really, its the truth.. |

Lazarus Member Posts: 1668 From: USA Registered: 06-06-2006 |
What do you need a computer for then?! *you can't hide the truth forever, JeZ* |

jestermax Member Posts: 1064 From: Ontario, Canada Registered: 06-21-2006 |
to control them silly. you can't program Terminators with a 586 (pop quiz, tell me the real name of the 586 and why it isn't called a 586) |
|
Lazarus Member Posts: 1668 From: USA Registered: 06-06-2006 |
A 586 is a Pentium.  I have absolutely no idea why they called it that though, aside from Intel's penchant for picking weird names.(Xeon, Celeron, Itanium...)Wait - Penta - that means 5, so I think that may be part of it... |
|
jestermax Member Posts: 1064 From: Ontario, Canada Registered: 06-21-2006 |
they wanted to name it the i586 but they couldn't get a trademark on "586" so other companies wouldn't be able to copy them. although, i remember hearing that someone had already registered "586" before they got to that point... so either way, it was a trademark issue |

Lazarus Member Posts: 1668 From: USA Registered: 06-06-2006 |
Ah. These big companies and their trademarks. We are sooo offtopic. Sorry. |

Narf, that's flip-jiggin' awesome Jester. Good luck, and I hope you enjoy your classes and the being a "Bachelor of Science" Maybe someday soon I'll have a chance to follow suite  Blessings, ------------------ |

Hard work, maybe, but regardless, I'd think it'd still be fun. You know, like Trig. ------------------ |
|
Ereon Member Posts: 1018 From: Ohio, United States Registered: 04-12-2005 |
Agreed. Hard work can be fun and very stimulating, it's just a matter of capturing the right mindset ("Taking every thought captive" to put it Biblically). ------------------ |

you mean there are people out there that don't like fuzzy logic and neural networks???
it actually seems REALLY easy. i've studied about half of these topics already, and like i've said before [This message has been edited by jestermax (edited February 02, 2007).] |
