    EchoRomeoCharlie got a reaction from Menzenski in Computer Science or Software Engineering?   
    In the real world, from what I've found, the title on your degree means absolutely dick.
     
    Your experience, knowledge, and work ethic trump all.  At least it is at any company I would want to work for.  If they hire only based on where you got your degree from, or what's wrote on that piece of paper, beware.
     
    Take either it won't matter for the most part.  Make sure you know your shit and work hard.  Take every opportunity to learn something new that presents itself.

    Actually, crumple zones increase the time over which the deceleration happens reducing g-force on the occupants body.  So yes, they do work, accelerometers don't lie.  Yes they cause the vehicle to be totalled easier, that's the point, the car is supposed to absorb the energy of the impact, not the occupants.
     
    Think of it this way, would you rather run as fast as you can into a brick wall or a wall of foam?  Yeah, the brick wall is stronger and can withstand impact better than the padded wall without being damaged.  So why don't you choose the brick wall?

    Remember guys, even at 60 mph, we're traveling 88 feet per second.  That's approximately  4 car lengths per second.  It takes approximately a quarter second just to get your foot from the gas to the brake, plus reaction time to realize that you need to take that action.
     
    So yeah...1 car length per 10 mph is probably a better rule of thumb.

    To be perfectly honest, a truck's length is still not enough, unless you're going quite slowly. At highway speeds (80-100 KM/h - about 50-60 MPH), if the person in front of you does a full on emergency break, there's no way you'd have the reaction time to break and stop, or even break and swerve to the side - unless you got luckly.
     
    At "city" speeds, the normal speed limit here is about 60 KM/h, which is about 35-40 MPH, even then, one truck length is likely not enough reaction time. If you happened to be looking away at that second or checking your mirrors (Which hypothetically should be done every 10 seconds or so), you'd be boned. In city, I'd leave 2 lengths of room, unless you're driving in rush hour at under 25-30 MPH. For Highway driving you need to leave like 5 lengths of room, minimum.
     
    But at least you leave some room

    What NEEDS to stop is artificial pull on the free market.
     
    Stop making companies pay more than people are worth, stop fixing prices, stop adding taxes to certain things and supplementing others, stop giving bail outs, stop all government involvement in the free market.  That will help immensely.

    It took 6 years to get as comfortable as you are with your PS3.  What makes you think it will take less time to get that comfortable with another setup?
     
    It will probably take more time as you have to re-learn your moves especially with FPS and quick reaction times.

    Don't bother with 120mm AIO coolers.  Decent air coolers will cost less and provide the same or better cooling.  If you're going to go with an AIO get a 240mm at least.
     
    Look at noctua for good air coolers.

    If someone's stupid enough to just throw money at a product without doing any research whatsoever, that's there fault, not the seller who's profiting off of it.

    Count how many fittings you need.
     
    Count them again.
     
    Count them again.
     
    Get them all in your cart, then count them again.
     
    Count them again, then maybe sleep on it before ordering.
     
    But seriously, it sucks to have everything ready to rock, get halfway through and realize you forgot a fitting.

    This works well when it's an exhaust, but he's using this as an intake either way it's going to be difficult to clean the radiator.  
     
    OP - This will heat the air coming into the case, so GPU's ambient temp to cool themselves will go up, which means their temps will raise slightly.  How much?  I have no idea.
