So somehow I wrote a 31 page thesis in twelve hours. I'm proofing it now and submitting it later today. It's actually not terrible, either.

So this week is my last week of my undergraduate degree, and I put off writing my thesis until the last minute. And by 'put off', I mean literally did zero work for it. I defend it on Friday morning and it's due to my director tomorrow afternoon. My finals are done so I don't mind some essay writing (essays are easy as shit compared to senior engineering finals), but this is just really dumb.

Serious / Re: I just watched the movie of Ender's Game« on: December 10, 2014, 11:20:15 PM »I just want to know the concept behind the weapon which destroyed the entire planet. Yeah, they didn't realize the destructive power and almost got themselves killed testing it. But it's still useful, it didn't reduce everything to hydrogen, it just broke down bonds in molecules resulting in clumps of unbonded atoms floating around. It was basically a very dense cloud of iron dust that they could pick up. 7486
Serious / Re: I just watched the movie of Ender's Game« on: December 10, 2014, 10:44:18 PM »I just want to know the concept behind the weapon which destroyed the entire planet. It creates a field that negates the strong nuclear force, causing electrons to split off from atoms, resulting in a chain reaction that affects any matter in relatively close proximity. It was originally used as a mining tool to reduce asteroids to dust to mine the ores as particulates, but was rigged into a weapon. It hasn't officially been converted from the mining device into the M.D. device in the series, but it's pretty obvious. 7487

If you have a knack for coding, you'll do very well in SE; if you want to learn about systems, then you'll enjoy CS. I'd talk to Isara or Cheat for specifics, but I would think that if you want a more general education go with CS, or if you know you want to write software, specifically, then go with SE/SD. My fiancee's dad is has a master's in CS and gets contract jobs writing for Intel. Pays really well, but for the most part it's grunt work. 7493

One time in grade school for a science fair I combined a cat scratching post, a spring ball toy, and a food dish. I thought that was pretty neat, and my cat liked it.

Computer science is to software engineering as pure math is to physics. 7495

On the thread we had here earlier, there were several comments complaining that you never hear about Christians condemning this stuff. Well... Quote TEMPE, Ariz. - Demonstrators gathered peacefully in Tempe Sunday morning to protests the controversial words from a pastor. Last week, he said that killing gays will free the world from AIDS. Sunday, before church, FOX 10 caught up with the pastor. He was unapologetic, but protestors and other clergy are saying he is twisting the word of god to perpetuate hate. tl;dr dude's an asshole 7499

Take what Yahtzee says with a grain of salt. He tends to rush through games and then highlight it's biggest flaws.
FC4 is definitely very similar to FC3, but how is that bad? FC3 was damn-near perfect at what it set out to do. |
