wtf does WYPMP stand for?

Name: Anonymous 2012-07-15 21:21

Hi /prog/

I'm a C.S. student a sub-dogshit tier university, going into my third year. I'm increasingly aware of how mediocre my job prospects look, especially in view of my poor results (I haven't really engaged with the course much, and I definitely haven't applied myself either). They only teach us java, and I feel the need to learn C++ on my own time, but then I see many of you guys frequently shitting all over it. So should I learn it, or what would you suggest as an alternative that would improve my job/career prospects?

I could also use some opinions on which 2 of the following optional modules are likely to do the same:

-Web and network management
-Object oriented design & architecture
-Mobile computer engineering
-3D dynamic modelling
-Intellectual property law & IT
-Verification and validation / Computer graphics algorithms (one semester each, all the other options last for both semesters)

Also general /prog/ career advice appreciated.

btw do you guys know/have any opinions on bucky roberts from thenewboston?

He has basically taught me 90% of what I know. youtube has taught me more than uni, which makes the whole thing kind of feel like a scam.

Publishers and lawyers like to describe copyright as “intellectual property”—a term also applied to patents, trademarks, and other more obscure areas of law. These laws have so little in common, and differ so much, that it is ill-advised to generalize about them. It is best to talk specifically about “copyright,” or about “patents,” or about “trademarks.”

The term “intellectual property” carries a hidden assumption—that the way to think about all these disparate issues is based on an analogy with physical objects, and our conception of them as physical property.

When it comes to copying, this analogy disregards the crucial difference between material objects and information: information can be copied and shared almost effortlessly, while material objects can't be.

To avoid spreading unnecessary bias and confusion, it is best to adopt a firm policy not to speak or even think in terms of “intellectual property”.

The hypocrisy of calling these powers “rights” is starting to make the World “Intellectual Property” Organization embarrassed.

You should learn everything, ask yourself this: "Do I know this?"
Now depending on your answer you should either

1. Move on to something else
2. Learn it and repeat the question

WYPMP doesn't stand for anything, and you should not stand for it, never use it, never say it, erase it from your memory, deny it's name, forget it, repudiate it and by the love of all almighty gods that may or not exist never ever mention it again on this board in particular, and on the internet to a larger extant
