scientist what on EARTH are you talking about???

[MattP]

Hey, Matt! How are you?

Every time I answer your questions you take my answers and run away with them for a few months not to be seen again, how can I trust you???

You can't trust me to stay consistently. But you can trust me to hang around for the next few months. And I'm always around by email.

Is chemistry hard?

Chem is my worst subject out of physics/bio/chem and I got a B in college chem so lolmeh

I also took it as a freshman and was unmotivated so idk I'm gonna take an advanced chem class next yr to prove I know chem for med school but I think it's not bad

[thenewearth]

Physics is mostly mathematics. Bio is mostly memorization.

Chem is mostly both math and memo. So yeah... It's quite hard. Esp when you excel in 1 subject and struggle at the other

[Psyche]

I need help figuring out what to do with my life. What college to go to. What matters to me more than the other things that matter to me.

[Majiffy]

Try a hit of acid, that might help sort some things out.

[A Mafia Scientist]

I was just talking about science. Bros.

I hear those computer boxes are going to be really popular in the future. I'd try that.

[Psyche]

But how can I save the world with computer science?

[Jake from State Farm]

Computer security, stop cyber terrorists.

[thenewearth]

By keeping the computer interesting.

Once the computer loses it's touch... It'll be the end of the world

[thenewearth]

Or

Make a cult that aims to destroy all viruses.

[Who]

But how can I save the world with computer science?

Simple, you write a program to save the world for you.

[Psyche]

Won't that just save some of the world under certain conditions if I am in a certain place at a certain time.

But how can I save the world with computer science?

Simple, you write a program to save the world for you.

That sounds fun.

But how can I know I have it in me to succeed in computer science like no one else (because if I just succeed like someone else, then someone else could save the world).

[Who]

Simple, you be awesome.

Oh, and you've also gotta be lazy. Being lazy is helpful when programming. The shortest programs are (generally) the most efficient, and the whole idea of programming was born out of laziness. ("I'm lazy and don't want to do this calculation...I know, I'll write a program to do it for me!")

[Psyche]

Should I learn computer science or computer engineering.

[thenewearth]

Computer engineering is better iirc

[GuyInFreezer]

comp engineering is less headache.

[A Mafia Scientist]

Can you give me an example where computer science actually saved the world in a way as substantial as, say, medicine has?

Without actually being medicine, I mean?

[Jake from State Farm]

Unless you are going to some deprived country to practice medicine, you won't be saving the world. You will be bitching about HMOs

[A Mafia Scientist]

Going to deprived countries was the idea. Or discovering things.

[Maestro]

like the cure for cancer? riiiiiiiiiight

[A Mafia Scientist]

like a computer program that saves the world? uh-huh.

[thenewearth]

Computers save people from loneliness.

Is that enough of a reason?

[MattP]

psyche whats the final decision between for colleges
