In most schools, Computer Science is a math discipline; it's largely discrete mathematics. Computer and Information Sciences degrees, however, tend to be less math and more application development oriented.

No, no, every tablet computer after the iPad is an iPad killer...

Parent forgot their <sarcasm> tags.

Next you'll be saying that they should stop mixing the nitrogen into Guinness...

So just install fink, open Terminal, type "apt-get install kdenlive". Ta da!

This, coupled with the fact that most software is written using software written by other people. Plus, the mathematical proofs of even the simplest functions are insanely long... *shudder*

I'm guessing it's because, like me, they used Windows Mobile 5 (or earlier) and, having been burned by having a phone that locks up on them all the time (usually when trying to answer the phone), haven't tried anything newer.

As a random aside, supposedly Lazlo was based on one of the founding CS professors from Cal Poly Pomona, Dr. Laszlo from his time at Caltech. A strange guy, to be sure, but by far one of my favorite professors.

Perhaps that was the point, as your experience with the above review mirrors the reviewers experience with the book: it was difficult to get much out of it because of these annoying details.
