Might I recommend both? For me the second course you talked about is the easier one, but I absolutely loved my discrete math course. If anything, both courses teach you how to approach and solve problems. Good skills to have for any programmers. While you are at it, if it isn't already required I'd suggest taking some physics for scientists and engineers as well as some calculus courses. Trust me, I was in your shoes a few years back and won't say it wasn't hard, but it was definitely worth it.

I've been using the paid version of mcafee for over a year after using the student edition for several years. After my student edition died, and before I decided to pay I tried Avant and AVG (free versions) and they were both awful bloated crapfests. I have used norton in the past and had similar bloat issues. Mcaffee even with the default install works just fine. I've recommended it and installed it on 3 relatives pcs, even dog slow ones and see no issues. So, where exactly are you getting your information about this other then slashdot hearsay?

That said, you'd think WoW players would be a bit more concerned about, oh, I don't know, the constant server crashes, rolling restarts, major patch bugs[...], and just generally utter crap technical quality of the game [...] even though no other modern MMO suffers anything close to that level of technical dysfunction.

You're joking right?

They also let you do transfers. Which was in TFS if you bothered to read it. You can do this without sending account numbers (just use account suffixes) but what happens when your twitter account gets hacked and someone transfers all of your money from your checking suffix to your savings? Say hello to overdraft fees.
