Some more ground breaking research like this and all religious books will be trashed! =D I'm lovin it and I hope I live long enough to see science reign supreme!

Which aspect of CS did you find boring/limited/non-challening. I think you are confusing 'coding' with CS. Coding is also IT, it's not CS. Are you good at calculus/Linear and Modern Algebra? Remember the sudoku question that I asked you? Are you finding it too easy and non-challenging? Hey...

If you were good at CS, you could have published a couple papers and gotten RAship. That's full tuition fee waiver+insurance+2-2.5k dollars per month. =P Plus, opportunity to work at a high-class computer lab, further enhancing your skillset and getting better opportunities after graduation!

Okay. I won't say that IT is useless or unimportant. IT is definitely important. Also, like I said at least thrice before, I was into IT before getting into CS. When I was in IT, I wasn't really using my brain. I wouldn't come home mentally exhausted from all the thinking. Four-five years...

If you are simply implementing the algorithm, that is converting logic to code, that is IT. But if you are playing around with logic or special constraints to the logic, it's CS. Dude, when I was working with Juniper, they would hire both IT and CS guys. [This was 2 years ago]. They took all...

Exactly, we make the tools that you use, the operating systems that you work with. If you are pilot of the vehicle (called IT), we are the makers of the airplane. We study the physics, the mathematics. You need to be really dedicated and be good at what you do. This field is only for the...

@Desiguy I've a question for you. What's a CS guy doing in your company? I mean from a CS perspective there isn't anything to work on in an SCM place. What algorithm to improve? What computation to resolve? It's like expecting a real scientist to work in the accounts department. There simply...

Simple thing dude. Tell me what function of IT should I perform in? Networking? SAP (I don't know very well), Java?(know really well), Informatica(Know quite well). Which aspect? Like I said before, google for a sudoku algorithm, understand it completely, improve it and get back to me...

Okay, for starters I have a VERY good idea as to what IT people do, I started out as an IT professional myself. So basically, all jobs are EQUALLY challenging? Wish the world were so ideal. One simple evidence that IT is easier than CS. People who don't have a lot of computer background...

Donno about Math in India, but Math in US is ******** garbage.

He is absolutely right.

That's not IT. That's CS.

CS Subjects : Lot of Math, Calculus, Linear Algebra, Modern Algebra, Models of Computation, Security Protocols, Compiler Design, Structured Programming, Operating Systems, Networking, Kernel, Algorithms. Not many colleges in India/Pakistan teach REAL CS. The good news is that you can learn it on...

You can call yourself a CS guy when you can Or atleast THINK in that direction (trying to solve).

1) I've more than required PMP experience. I've all those crappy silly Java certifications as well. I've CCNA as well for shits and gags. 2) IT: IT is Information Technology. Writing Applications etc. We give you the database, we give you the programming language, use those tools and design a...

That's the sad thing. A certification that is so easy to pass (took me 3 days), shouldn't be overrated. On the other hand, the security algorithm I worked on took me more than 4-5 months of HECTIC problem solving.

For salary considerations, CS and IT are clubbed in most statistics. And CS guys aren't easy to get rid of (I don't know what you are talking about). CS guys aren't even employed by most companies. A CS guy works on a security algorithm, kernel for a new operating system, engine for a new game...

IT is easy to catch up bro. It's just knowledge of tools and ways to use it. Computer Science is the core. Computer Science is immune to the effects of recession, per se, unlike IT. And certifications are HIGHLY over-rated. My company told me that PMP is a must have-recognized and absolutely...

I am sure you are making a lot of money, I've all respect for you. But that is not computer science, that is IT.
