^Thanks for the reply. Yeah, that's my feeling about it. I think I can pick up the theory on my own, but many companies seem to want a degree. Although, I'm not sure I'm interested in working for big companies that require programmers to have degrees..

Thanks for the advice. I'm doing a programming internship over summer, so I'll see how that goes. I guess the thing is, even looking at the upper-level courses in the CS department, many of them seem to be much more academic/theory-oriented, as opposed to software engineering skills.

For those of you who have graduated, What do you feel that you got from college? (learning, contacts, higher earning potential?) I'm currently a freshman in college studying computer science. However, I don't feel like I'm learning much right now, and a lot of my time is being taken up by...

Not sure if this has been posted anywhere, but the Pokemon TCG is now free to play online (well, you can play for free with theme decks and unlock additional decks as you go). http://www.pokemontcg.com/

Lol, my friend linked me to this game. It tests whether you know the difference between pokemon and drug names. They're actually pretty similar sounding. http://www.sporcle.com/games/LinkinMarc/Drug_or_Pokemon I expect everyone on Smogon to get 40/40 :p

Does anyone play this game? I just bought it, and I'm planning to start over spring break. I'm thinking about playing on the PvM server as a cleric. I haven't played a MMORPG since Ragnarok Online, but this looks promising. (I couldn't bring myself to join WoW..)

I remember this prompt, though I didn't apply. My friend suggested using mapquest and finding the distance from the applicant's house to U Chicago.

I support this idea. I never noticed that about Gorebyss, but it's a really good observation o_o.

Your art and comics are awesome.

^Yeah, that's my problem.

I'm a high school junior, but I've had some research experience, so I'll try to help out. The best possible way would be getting to know one of your college professors and inquiring about his or her research interests. Hopefully, they'll have an open spot for you. You can also try programs...

What good forums are out there that discuss current events? Apart from Smogon, of course :toast:

^Ah, I see, thanks :) What if I wanted to play Legacy..?
