As the title says, there are no answers for the book I'm learning C++ from, should I ignore the exercise section (well except the first exercise which is always compile and execute chapter examples) and move on or give them a try? I can get my hands on many exercises with solutions, but I'd like...

Or can I do it while I'm starting my last semester or so? And if the answer is yes, would it hurt my chances? The plan right now is to graduate with a Computer Science degree in summer 2010, and I'd like to start studying for a Masters in fall 2010 if possible. Thanks for any help. :)

I messed up at my previous school really bad so I don't have any other options right now. =\ I honestly don't know... Maybe computing or communications... What I find really interesting though is nanotechnology, in particular where it meets with EE. Like making transistors on the molecular level...

That's the problem - there aren't any EE classes in this school. That's why I'm stuck with CS. For what it's worth it might be possible to get a math minor. I'm thinking about personally studying physics and taking the GRE for it in a couple of years, when I finish the CS degree. It's not EE...

I dropped out of an Electrical Engineering major in my old school, and now I'll be studying Computer Science in another school. Does this pretty much leave me stuck in CS for a Masters? I didn't even finish the basic EE stuff in my old school, like the introduction to circuit analysis stuff...

Yeah, I seriously don't understand how one could get an EE degree online. Maybe with some campus visits for labs but completely online? I...

What I meant by taking the FE exam was to help getting in a graduate engineering program. Taking it would prove that I know the material covered in a 4 year undergraduate engineering program or something like that. Anyway, I'm just going to take that IT degree and study some stuff on my own...

I don't understand this... Do community colleges give degrees or are they just for credit? I suppose it goes like this: community college ----> 4 year college ----> graduate school. The thing is, I already finished a good amount of basic classes. So the idea of going to a community college for...

Asphodel: I'm not sure I understand your post. So I should forget the IT degree and take basic courses somewhere else? The problem is that I can't get somewhere else. :p Even so, taking those courses alone without a plan isn't something I'd be comfortable with. The point is moot anyway, I've...

Well I'm leaving the US so I can't get into a community college... I searched again for engineering programs in distance learning and they all seem to be for master's degrees except one from north dakota university, but it requires on-campus labs. I'm not sure how the other programs do it...

I can't find any electrical engineering programs at distance learning schools, though there are ones for master's degrees... I'm honestly not sure how one can do something like EE entirely online. I suppose computer science would be the second option but again, all the good schools are graduate...

I've wasted so many years, and so much money, and all I have now is a terrible transcript. I don't think it was because I couldn't do it, though it's mostly my fault, but I'm not going to go into the details. Now I'm stuck. I can't transfer to a good school as they'll look at my transcript...

Lately I've been watching a few documentaries on the future and fusion is treated as a solution to all energy problems. In the Discovery Channel 2057 documentary they say we'll never have to drill for another barrel of oil once fusion is achieved... Now from what I know the majority of oil...

I don't know... two carbon atoms are identical but they're still two separate ones. If something copied me I'd still be different, or maybe not different but separate, than the copy. Killing me, the original, doesn't mean that I teleported into that copy... If someone said they'll kill you but...

I don't believe that there's a 'soul' or any such thing, I'm just a bunch of atoms. What I was asking was if that teleportation technology is just destroying and copying or moving... because there's a difference to me. Yeah the copied one would be identical, but still not me. If someone made a...
