    Are there people out there who 100% understand how a computer works?

    Yeah, basically any electrical engineering student who focused on computer engineering as a focus will have a general understanding of the hardware all the way up to the software. Many EE students have also taken a few more physics courses than the average CS kid so they may even understand the...

    Intergra DTR 9.1 Price

    yeah you're right, it is pretty old. however, back in the day it was top of the line equipment. Though I'd be missing out on some newer audio codecs, it's not like the core amplifier technology has evolved that much in the past 10 years i also know he takes care of his equipment... so the...

    Intergra DTR 9.1 Price

    Hey there, I'm curious -- what do you guys think the current market value of an Intergra DTR 9.1 is? A family member of mine has one laying around at home that he's not using, but since it's a high end device I do want to give him some fair amount of compensation. Thanks!

    if you could pick between these places to live after graduation:

    depends on your age and what you want to do. OP is a young graduate and most young people like the hustle bustle of big cities with night life, music scenes and other goodies. elk grove (and sacremento / folsom) doesn't have that. it's mostly suburbia which, imo, would be pretty boring...

    What to Do About College?

    Absolutely this. With that CS degree you can and will get a job as an entry level programmer. You'll be working in a team. You (should) be interacting with your customers on a daily basis to make sure you're meeting their requirements. You most certainly won't just be sitting at a cube...

    A question for the right on how to return to an economy where everyone prospers

    That's a good point. It really wouldn't be far fetched at all to say that technology will progress to the point where robots will be able to do all manual labor. It's not unlike the industrial revolution, where millions of farmers moved to the cities only to find the cities weren't all...

    Pet Peeve -- the passive agressive putdown

    So I was just chatting in a thread... and I received a rude reply that I completely earned.. goes: someone replies: So in this case I had it coming... nothing to say about that -- and it's completely warranted. Rather, this is honestly a prime time example of one of my biggest pet...

    Anyone With a Computer Science Degree?

    I feel ya on that.. it's pretty annoying in interviews when the interviewer holds that against you too. actually had that happen a couple times, but i suppose when the job market's oh-so-shitty employers can afford to cherry pick the true die hards

    What exactly is an IT analyst?

    from what ive seen, for entry level, companies hire people with 4 year degrees from CS, IS, engineering, hard sciences and then train them. from there.. i see a couple career tracks, you can stay technical and get specific technical certs, or even a masters in engineering of your choice or cross...

    Difference in experience in prestigious/non-prestigious grad schools

    From what I've seen, prestige for science/engineering graduate degrees matters far less than for business degrees. What ends up mattering is how much original and relevant research an institution produces. Besides, you're going to spend the next 6 years studying whatever it is you'll be...
