Random Thoughts.....What Are You Thinking?

well from what i understand from our lecture its something to do with a ... probably not the best word to use but it looked like a stack so to say with machine language at the bottom (well i think it was something like elec...tronic something or other at the bottom and the actual programming languages at the top)

I'll be getting an associates in CS at some point >_>

Thanks I'll look into that!


I think I've offically pissed off like every guard in Markarth :p


gogo stealing *** :p (thieves guild quest, that stingy wizard wouldn't let me use his ***so I just stole his key and went in :p)

ASM is the closest thing you can get to that any and all machines understand natively.

Binary > Hexadecimal > ASM

didn't delve that deep into it :|

just went over some of the things and yeah was something like that

here's a picture of what i have so far, but the images i have for it atm are way too small and i'm having trouble getting right mouse click for character 2 to work

In short assembly language is all the op codes that the CPU understands.

All your C++, C#, Java, etc. (all languages) compilers convert all your code into asm so the computer can execute it.

ah ok

does assembly convert to machine language?

my teachers like to tell of olden days when you wrote programs via punchcards

my dads boss did the same

That's basically binary, lol.

For all intensive purposes, asm is machine language.

ah, seemed as though there was something else when my professor was discussing it

though it looks like ***i've never seen before when i saw code for it -_-

It's not for your average programmer.

But at least understanding the concepts behind it should be.

well this professors been telling us we need to know assembly and C so idk @_@

back then programming wasnt something that anyone could pick up, it was something for scientists to do

BUT WE ARE SCIENTISTS

i mean like rocket scientists >=|

do you want me to program you a rocket

i'll program you a *** rocket

I wake up and walk into a thread full of computer nerds. I suddenly feel inadequate. :x

CS = Computer Science

It's definitely a science, lol.

i didnt dispute that it was a science =/

Hurray for science!

I saw someone mention intro to computers before... lol

It was the same for me too, excel, word, all that crap.

It wasn't listed in the CS category though, as it shouldn't be.

I remember taking intro to computers the semester after I took asm. It fulfilled one the general elective requirements.

Open up notepad, type whatever sentence, close and save. That's your quiz for today.

I was like wow, and here I was last semester scanning the video memory to determine the manufacturer of your video card, lol.

for me intro to computers is a required unskippable class =(

I think the worst class I have had to take in my program was Computer User Support. I thought we were going to learn some troubleshooting techniques and things like that. The teacher we had though was this lady who knows next to nothing about computers (did some research, she has a masters degree in "Leadership" whatever that means) so the class ended up being focused entirely on customer service skills. We had to write a two page paper each week about a customer service experience we had and we shared them on Monday which took up the whole class and then Wednesdays class was watching youtube videos about customer service.

For my final paper about my customer service experience I wrote about how as a student I had signed up for a computer user support class and was disappointed to end up not learning anything about computers whatsoever and how it was a huge waste of my time.

you just have shitty luck with teachers

I think they changed it to a requirement not soon after for all new incoming students.
