I'm transferring to a college to major in programming. I've been doing HTML/CSS and some PHP, and I recognize that's pussy shit. I want the real deal. Good college suggestions? Maybe even in Colorado if you're feeling regional. thanks.

I'm only a first-year, I'm struggling with Analysis ;__;
And I'm from the UK, so I suppose that the numbers won't correspond at all.

So would I still major in Computer Sciences if I wanted to program video games? Legitimate quest, I'm not just some dumb ass that likes video games and wants to get paid for playing them.

Let me fix that for you: I'm not just some dumb ass that likes video games and wants to get paid for making them.
and to that I respond, “yes you are”.
Attending college for undergraduate study of any exact science is quite unnecessary given the availability of learning materials.
All books and tools can be bought/downloaded/pirated and used in one's own home.

OP here, I've decided not to do programming because it will probably be too hard. I'm going to burn all my electronics and go live in the mountains. Thanks for showing me the light.

Any advice for people who don't play video games and want to learn EVERYTHING? I'd just like to know where to go online and what to dl so I can learn on my own. I don't have the best frame of reference to sort out the good from the bad when it comes to learning materials.

First: Land of Lisp, Common Lisp
Second: Practical Common Lisp, Common Lisp (obviously)
Third: SICP, Scheme.
During these three phases you'll need to program for several hours a day. And you need to have fun
Programming is for scrubs. Networking master race here.
While you losers get outsourced and your shitty field continues to stagnate, I'll be working a nice sysadmin position, and eventually there will be an explosion of good contract jobs available for me once people realize that we need really need to convert to IPv6.

There will soon be more networked devices than people. IPv4 is limited to around 4 billion addresses. There are more than 4 billion people in the world, and there will be multiple networked devices per person (aside from a couple people in impoverished countries). When that happens, we can either a) abuse the fuck out of DHCP and NAT, or b) convert to IPv6.

No it doesn't. VOIP and console gaming are an example of something that should work fine but doesn't as a result of NAT abuse. Soon enough, your ISP will put you on a NAT and charge you extra to get a real IP because IP's are getting exhausted, yo.
