Browsing through the book section and they've tried to split by type - but failed hard. C++ goes next to corba, pascal goes next to photoshop etc.
Just put all the publishers together.
Except, that fails too. Wrox used to be okay, now - not so much. O Reilly used to e great, but now about 85% is shovelware shit.

the amount of elitist alphamale faggotry that is abundant in engineering and computer science, it doesnt fucking matter that you wrote a C compiler when you were 12, if you're socially retarded you're going to have a crap life end of story
and everyone wonders why there are no girls in this field

You are trying to justify the fact that you didn't write a C compiler when you were twelve by pretending all those who did are quote, socially retarded, end quote. "Ha, those nerds think they are so smart, but they will have a `crap life`. I on the other hand will have an awesome life because I wasn't as smart as them and nature and god have a way of balancing everything." No, nobody believes you. No, life isn't always fair and balanced. Don't think you are fooling anybody but your own conscience. I'll bet you are both socially retarded AND couldn't write a C compiler when you were twelve.

I both wrote a see compiler at age twelve AND am not socially retarded. What do you think about that tough guy?
also, when university students act like they know everything about everything even thought they have never used a programming language except python or VB.NET. damn arrogant morons

You might be right, but that's not what I meant. It's not about liking or disliking, it's just that they write shitty code.
If I decide to rewrite your class, because that will be quicker than to debug it, and the result has less LOC and performs significantly better. It's shitty code, not me disliking your style.
I have three versions of the same class, might upload them somewhere for the lulz.

About 30% of the students at my CS university are women. About half of my group are women. They're all pretty bad. One of them asked for my help because she couldn't figure out how to sort only the odd numbers in an array while leaving the even ones in their original position. She has a job doing html, css and sql and gets paid decently.
In my statistics class one student said "LOL WUT R OUR CHANCES OF GETTING THROUGH COLLEGE XD" implying it was hard. I said our classes are incredibly easy. (which they are, you don't even need to study to pass most of them) He responded by saying "NOT ALL OF US ARE GENIUSES LIKE YOU". I'm not even good, I'm just decent but I'm better than almost all of the people I know and that's just depressing.

Everyone avoids math like the plague here for some reason. Their mentality is "LOL I'M GONNA PROGRAM, WHAT DO I NEED MATH FOR?"

30%? That's amazing. My department has about four hundred CS students, and eight of them are women.
Six of those are in their first year, and if past experience is any guide, of those, five will drop out before reaching their second year. The sixth will drop out in the following year.

The ones that look good failed most of their classes. The ones that don't look good and passed still aren't particularly smart or entertaining. In fact no one here is entertaining.
Highschool was a lot more fun.

The good-looking ones last longer here, because they get one of the guys to their homework for them, and the teachers are too apathetic to give a shit.
Most CS departments are a clusterfuck. Take what you can from it and then bail.

Most people here (as in over 90% of the whole 1st year) just copy their homework from last years' students (or even before that) because some of our proffessors didn't bother to change the homework in 5 years. Also both our C and C++ exams were on paper, it was one of those choose the right answer things. The saddest part is this is considered to be the best CS university in the country.
Eastern Europe sucks some times.

My COBOL exam consisted of writing the equivalent of an awk one-liner in COBOL, on paper.
My college is also considered the best in the country (admittedly for Applied CS, which is going to suck no matter where you go), and that's in Western Europe.
Most of everywhere is complete shit.

My final C exam was 8 choose the right answer questions (all incredibly easy if you programmed in C for more than a week) and the final subject was a program that had to calculate the arithmetic mean of all the numbers in an array. The C++ exam was similar only it had a lot of questions about ENTERPRISE programming.
More than half of the students failed these exams.
