    GameModeLiam reacted to Sinistar in Omega Ruby / Alpha Sapphire Demo Code GIVEAWAY   
    Earlier this evening, I purchased a $10 eShop card so I could buy Pokemon Puzzle Challenge and get a code, but the code was missing from my receipt after I paid the $5 for a game I wasn't even really interested in. I tried to contact Nintendo with no success. I was relieved to come across this thread; I guessed the letter correctly and I am now enjoying this special demo! Thank you, GameModeLiam, for saving the day

    Could it be overheating? Does your PC have good airflow?

    A Raspberry Pi. I feel like if I buy one it will just sit there and never be used.

    Thanks! I totally forgot that Windows 8 was an option. I think I will downgrade the PSU because I realized that the system wouldn't suck up too much power.

    A while ago I got this really good dog fighting game called wings of prey. I haven't played it much, but for the limited time I've played it I liked it.

    I agree with most of what you wrote. The reason I watch the Big 3 is because I grew up with them back when I too was under 15. So I still enjoy them because they are "the shows". 
    As for Evangelion, I swear they remade the whole series. I do not remember what it was called, but I feel like they did. And it was better than before. 
    Then they remade it via movies/OVAs according to the manga. Or something. I do not know. All that is really confusing. But apparently those remakes were good. Very good. 
    This man knows what is up. 
    Oh, and OP, watch Cowboy Bebop.

    I know I won't be able to get a lot out of my net book (Acer Aspire One 532h-2730) I have Ubuntu on it as of now, and I was wondering if anyone knew a better OS for a net book. Is Joli good. Some websites have said it was made for net books, but I don't really know about this. Any help is appreciated.

    GameModeLiam reacted to GoodBytes in Is computer engineering hard?   
    Any field in computers, is actually very hard.
    You HAVE TO love what you are doing to succeed. Because you'll need to motivation, to not only study long period of hours each day, but also even do well in very boring classes, which you will for sure have (usually intro classes.. but everyone is different, and of course depends on the professor).
     
    Computer Engineer -> If you want to do a processors and circuit board. In the actual field, especially when doing processors, you will PROGRAM processors architecture. Each company have their own script language of sort based on some language which will translate. You won't be actually drawing circuit on a paper.. you'll never be done, let alone be huge schematic of unbelievable proportions, especially when it comes to CPU and GPUs. Also, you'll be doing research to some level. But expect the research part to be once you are far more experience in your field (Senior engineer - If you reach that level, then it's for sure you like your field, and won't mind doing it).
     
    Software Engineer/Computer Science -> Circuit board is nice and all, but you need software to do things with them. Software Engineer and Computer Science are identical fields. If a company looks for 'Soft Eng", and you have a 'Comp Sci" degree, they are equivalent, the reverse is true too. One is not better than the other. In your Bachelor degree, Soft Eng will share the same courses than Computer Science. Computer Science has a focus on optimization. Soft Eng has a focus more on being able to adapt on new languages and systems. But in reality, in the work field, you need both to be good. If you make a software for a phone or whatever (Dishwasher even), you need to need know the CPU architecture to know what it's good and terrible at doing, and adapt your thinking process accordingly, and you need to write optimized code.
     
    I am in Computer Science, nearly done my studies, but have work experience for over 3 years, and have made large scale personal projects. A relative of mine is in Computer Engineer doing processors that many of us uses in our computers. So while I can't say exactly how it is, I have a rough idea.
     
    Both opens you doors at being part of making things that changes the world.
     
    What if I love the field, I am genuinely interested in it, but I just can't have enough time to study properly for everything, resulting in having my grades hurt? you ask. A very good question. In University/College there is no race. You don't get any favor in finishing first. Take less courses, finish in an extra year is good way to succeed.
     
    Will my GPA count? It helps for your first job, but many big companies don't care. The reason for this, is that in computers, university/college does NOT prepare you for the work field. It prepares you to be a researcher. Having a good GPA, will allow you to get some favor point form the HR person that will pass through the Resume, filtering them. But the interview process will be face to face with an experienced engineer(s) - interview process depends on the company.
     
    What is more valuable in getting attention in my Resume?
    Excellent question. Personal project. While personal project doesn't give you work experience, it give a certain level of points that:
     -> You like your field
     -> You can do something more complicated than what you do at school (well unless you decide to do a basic calculator, or tic-tac-toe game and alike).
     -> You have some level of basic experience in using an IDE software (Visual Studio for example), which will simplify your training and mentoring when you get started or internship.
     -> You for sure fall onto issues, which you hopefully learned to correct. For example, you coded a project, it's not done, but you could not continue due to school, then you com back to it, and you don't know where you are and what you were doing, and notice that you are missing important things in your logic, due to a lack of planning, comments on code, and documentation.
     
    I believe my study skills aren't good for university, how can I improve them?
    Good question, many university/colleges, especially student focused, have a 0 credit course, in studying. Worth taking it if you have trouble.
     
     
    Hope this helps in some ways.
