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 famous algorithm.Reading the current issue requires subscription but you can read the issues from last month and older from magazine archives without subscription here.


2.Stanford Engineering Everywhere:
   Through SEE Stanford is offering some of its most popular engineering classes free of charge to students and educators around the world.This includes the three course introduction to computer science taken by most of the Stanford's  graduates along with seven other courses.This is a great opportunity for students around the world to access truly world class education.
     
3.Careercup.com :


   This is a great website for anyone preparing for coding job interviews.Here you can find the latest questions asked by top companies with solutions. 
         You can suggest any other resources that I have missed in the comment section below and your feedback and sugessions are always welcome :D.

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 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 ico...
