The underdog of sciences: Computer Science

Hey friends how's it going?Well I recently met this person who is working in some fire and safety firm.He gave me a ride, on the way he asked me what was I doing?I said-"I am pursuing my degree in Computer science",at which he smiled and said Computer Science mania.WTF.I mean if you are doing your major in physics and mathematics you are considered to be a great academic, If you are doing B.tech in any other branch except computer science you are the bright engineer.The moment you say Computer science you are labeled a maniac some kind of a wannabe.Computer science deserves every bit of respect that any other branch of science or engineering gets.

Recently some reality show producer made a remark that people who spend time in front of computer have no life.The producer is a baldy who's famous for scaring the shit out of young kids by putting them in a room and abusing them.I guess that is a great thing to do, as he has turned into this self reclaimed youth icon.God save the youth of this country.I guess you would have guessed who is he?Well he's Raghu(Yeah! Raghu i named you.Sue me _|_).He does'nt have a clue what he is talking about.The site that he uses to publish his content and videos is designed by some geek, the TV that he uses to telecast his TRP hunting show runs on algorithms designed by us.

These CS greats are responding to your comment in their own way.

Now,lets remind people what is computer science doing for them.We are there in your microwave,in your television,in the smart grids that supply electricity to your home.You go to the general store we are there at the cashier's system.We have enabled you to communicate with your friends and family,given you email,chat.Remember the days when you had to write a letter and wait for snail mail to arrive.We are there at the reservation counter,we are at your bank.We have designed the software that runs industries, that drives satellites.We have developed robots that assist old people in Japan,we have designed system that checks your answer sheets in your exam.We have designed all your favourite sites that you use whole day and the tablets, computers, ipads ,ipods and what not.So,next time you meet a computer engineer show some Respect.Signing off\m/.

How much RAM you are actually using?

Every now and then when we are trying to upgrade our system we come across the question do i have enough RAM or should i increase the ram? Today I will try and help you find the answer o this question.We all know that RAM is the part which our computer uses as its physical memory.Many believe that one gigabyte of RAM is enough for virtually any non-professional application scenario. Unfortunately, that is not the case. Have you ever launched a recent gaming title with lots of resource-hungry applications already launched? Everything might seem fine as Windows relocates the applications' memory data to the swap file on your hard drive. However, as soon as you hit a Windows key accidentally, the OS will hectically try to exchange the gaming data in the main memory by the application data that was swapped before. 32 bit system For a 32 bit there is always a physical limit of 4gb because we run out of address space.But the 4 gb limit is also theoretical the actual limit is equal t...

The Humble Programmer-"Edsger Wybe Dijkstra (May 11,1930-Aug 6,2002)"

Edsger Wybe Dijsktra, Professor Emiretus Department of Computer Science, University of Texas. Working in his small office with a few close scholars he solved problems of great importance which shaped development of computer science as a respectable scientific discipline. He was born to a chemist father and a mathematician mother. His mother was a lasting influence on his approach to mathematics and his emphasis on elegance. Those days computers were a novelty and he happened to be a programmer by accident. A. van Wijngaarden, the then director of the Computation Department at the Mathematical Center in Amsterdam offered him a job, which he accepted becoming Netherlands’ first official programmer. When Dijkstra married Maria (Ria) C. Debets in 1957, he was required as a part of the marriage rites to state his profession. He stated that he was a programmer, which was unacceptable to the authorities, there being no such profession at that time in The Netherlands. And, believe it or not,...

A few great sources of wisdom for a computer science students

Hey friends often as a student you are looking for an idea, for your project, seminar or just something to kill time.Some of you might have the passion to bring about the next big change in computing.Now if you are one of the lucky few who get admission to some coveted institutes(like IITs) you can go to your professors, for others its not an option.In most of the second tier colleges the professors have not got even a single paper published, how are they going to help you.So, today I am going to share about a few sites and resources which will help the not so lucky students. 1. Communications of the ACM :    This is the monthly magazine of the Association for Computer Machinery featuring the state of current research and a lot of interesting columns by eminent computer scientists.This magazine is a must read for a computer science student.Of course you can find topics for your seminar and project work from here and who knows you might even be inspired to develop the next f...
