21:30 < johnl> last thing before bed is a lulzy memory of giant alienware laptops in CS lectures
21:30 < johnl> nn

16:46 < burp> yeah, you learn about neural networks in your undergrad, duh
16:47 < burp> back propagation algorithm... ;_;_;
16:47 < burp> fuck cs
16:47 < petrichor> what do you learn in your phd
16:47 < burp> how to effectively quit your phd
16:47 < petrichor> lol'd
16:47 < spoon> took you 2 years
16:47 < spoon> can't have been that effective
16:47 < burp> yeah, I wasn't even effective at it
16:48 < julia> tirz
16:48 < burp> still 4x more effective than laird
16:48 < burp> STILL BETTER THAN LAIRD

15:58 < burp> petrichor: it is a computer science degree
15:58 < burp> not a "how to become a software developer" degree
15:59 < skje> Ba. Mod Getting Hired
15:59 < nosmo> it fails at being a CS degree also
15:59 < petrichor> yeah I know, I'm not debating the purpose of it like
15:59 < nosmo> there's fuck all theory until the end
16:00 < petrichor> just saying if you went to do it with the expectation that you would be jobzilla afterwards you are mistaken

01:43 < tapirus> Considering the tendency of everything in computer science to remain in perpetual beta and never actually finalise into a mature implementation, axolotl seems an apt name

10:34 < julia> the guys in my class are like OMG I WILL NEVER GET THIS WORK DONE
10:35 < julia> and are currently playing minecraft
10:35 < kopf> 2cool4skool
10:35 <@johnl> julia: ggg

10:35 < sarah> nice working there gais in julia's class 
10:35 <@johnl> I remember guys spazzing about assignments
10:35 <@johnl> And just sitting all day playing Tower Defense in LG12
10:35 <@johnl> SOME OF THEM ARE HERE AMONG US
10:36 < nosmo> ggggggg
10:36 < nosmo> my favourite was just going to the pub on opening
10:36 < gporter> loved a bit of tower defense
10:36 < gporter> that was before the ducss room thou :P

10:37 < pfarrel> yippee, kinect enabled TV ads
10:37 < pfarrel> what a time we live in
10:37 <@johnl> So when you watch the ad and spazz out, it can TELL
10:37 < nosmo> Combining Sky drivel with superfluous hand waving!

08:31 < marka> lol, Deus Ex out a week before Supps
08:31 < marka> god really hates CS students

< stesh> CS LDAP down?
< stesh> ;__;
< scott> stesh: I tried to ssh to the macneill, but it didn't work
< scott> I got as far as entering my password to stoker, then it just hung for five minutes so I gave up
< stesh> scott: do you use the google?
< scott> what is this google you speak of?
< scott> I just meant in relation to your wondering about the CS LDAP
< stesh> Wanted to access my CS filestorage, but I'll be content with using the spoon for now
< scott> the spoon
< stesh> yes
< unit_01> the spoon is a lie
