Comp Sci vs Comp ENG

/prog/ i'm in 11th grade and want to make video games but i suck at math and physics

Can i still make games with a comp sci?

My dad told me he's not paying for a science degree so i'm fucked on that end.

ITT: We discover that no one on /prog/ is a computer engineer, nor knows what they do.

Also

electrical engineers can specialize on software too. Electrical engineering is a huge set, in which computer engineering too resides in - saying an electrical engineer won't be as good in software due to lack of emphasis on it may be true, but I'd give 'em at least XXX on software, comparison based on computer engineering.

Computer science is as much about computers (hardware) as astronomy is about telescopes.

Paraphrased from Dijkstra.

Oh yeah. And you'll never make vidya games. Out of about 20 people in my first comp sci class, one has graduated and one is a senior.

LOL I WANNA MAKE VIDYA GAMEZ is basically the same as saying LOL IM GONNA FAIL THE FUCK OUTTA THIS PROGRAM

That actually sounds strikingly similiar to Hal's infamous introduction lecture of the 6.001 MIT course. Are you sure it was Dijkstra?

Name: Anonymous 2007-11-23 22:13

From the holy book of Wikipedia's page on Dijkstra:

Dijkstra was also noted for owning only one computer (late in life) and rarely actually using them, in keeping with his conviction that computer science was more abstract than mere programming, expressed in a number of famous sayings such as "Computer Science is no more about computers than astronomy is about telescopes"

Only reason I've heard it is it's posted on my graduate advisor's office door.

You're contradicting yourself. To "program without programming" would mean 0 software.

Are you having difficulties understanding the difference between "more" and "all"?

I'm interested in abusing LISP to "hack" someone's (will go unnamed) computer, for reasons I'll keep to myself. I've done a little research on it, but I haven't yet found any solid evidence that you can use LISP to "hack" someone's computer.
