Question for the computer guys.....what's the difference between the BA in computer science and BS in the job world?
Click to expand...

AA/BA - are design for those he plan on continuing their education in that particular field... AA ----> BA -----> Doctorial...
AS/BS - are design to put you to work at which ever level. To be honest either way you are going to learn what you need to know when you go to work... I think your degree is just an introduction to your field of study and having the degree is a indicator you can learn and can focus at the task at hand... I have a BA in Information System (Programming) and a MBA.. Information Systems is more Programming in Computer Language ie JAVA, COBOL, C# and Computer Science is more of Programming in Computer code...i.e Binary, Hexi-decimal, Assembler like the Neo and those guys did on the Matrix... Computer is more Math based ... Information System is more of Business Application..

Yes.. it can... that's because people use diversity or differences to discriminate against those that are not like them... If we learn to embrace our differences instead of rebelling against those differences, the world we be a better place... I don't think everyone will buy in, so discrimination will continue until the end of time, but that's my opinion... For me I try and embrace differences... like I don't hold it against people that are Seminole fans... I realize and embrace the fact that we have differences... to each his own.. Then a pray for their dumb ***...lol kidding.. but we are all different... even from our own gender, race and religious group... not two of us are the same... so again you are correct : diversity can kill our unity unless, what we truly love over power our humanly desires to hate those things that are different.

Good stuff but I think it is beyond our human ability to do as you say. God made each of us not just different but unique - one of a kind. Our pride forced him to splinter us, I suspect you know your scripture, and we cannot overcome that. Today it seems there is huge effort telling us how to feel. In my life I found that it has been easier to control how I treat people than how I feel about them. Faith tells us how we feel matters a lot, but that will be for God to judge.

I look at you and see our similarity, not so much embrace our differences. You are a Cane, a Floridian, a Southerner, a Vet, and an American. That is a a ton of stuff for me to bond too. If you eat ribs and drink something stronger than white wine with them, we would get along fine. Given who your son is, I could probably live with the wine, but it would push the limits of my tolerance. Embracing noles, gators and doomers is just going to far.

Appreciate it
 
I like this post not only because I'm one who embraces diversity but also for the networking opportunities. We are all part of the cane family and this is a great way to seek out help and advice from people who may be experts in a particular subject...

Black firefighter from orlando. Like the Canes, Raiders, and Lakers. Been a canes fan since I was 7 years old, back in 88'.

UToronto - White (Greek immigrant parents), Male, Business Grad, CPA, CFA, run investment company (like a private hedge fund/family office). Grew up in small town, working in corn fields, lawncare, hot dog cart so I still have a huge respect for small business owners and think they set a great example of hard work.

While I'm Canadian and live in Toronto, I can't stand the anti-american sentiment in so many places. If I wasn't here, there's no other place I'd rather be than with you guys and love my American brothers.
Dolphins, Canes, MapleLeafs, Blue Jays, Raptors
 
Indian. Born and raised in fort Myers. UF grad and currently in medical school ( wasn't accepted to Miami and still hurts lol).

A few years ago we used some javascript from quantcast to gather data. I am not fully aware of their methods but I don't think it considers site profiles. The only thing I know it tracks is what site you came from and what site you leave to. I assume it also stores your IP so it can start to piece things together when you browse other sites that use their service. I am currently not tracking it through quantcast because their javascript loaded poorly.

More Good Stuff and I really like: " In my life I found that it has been easier to control how I treat people than how I feel about them." and I understand that hypocrisy only goes so far and that embracing Seminoles and Gators are on the other side of your limits .. lol ... Maybe you should try one of those support groups that start: Hi I'm GatorHater and I hate Gators ... lol
 
White male , small business owner that lives in Gainesville,FL. Been a cane fan since mid 80's.
 
I'll play

White male, Texas born, but Florida raised. Sales director for a company involved in deploying Cell carriers networks. Went to college outside of Baltimore and played sports for the school. Loved the Canes since the early-mid 80's when i started to know what football was. Those Miami teams of lore was how i always thought the game should be played.....fast, physical, on the edge of out of control....basically Run, Hit, Talk ****! Still live in Fl and wouldn't want it any other way.

Interesting... I'm a Fan of Malcolm X and most people would frown on that because they see him as a radical racist... but he was a smart dude and once he realize that Religion had no racial limits.. meaning when he realize that he had white, red, yellow and brown Muslim brothers it caused him his life... I'm Christian but think that Malcom and Gandhi had some wisdom that we all could learn from..

Some Gandhi quotes that is relative to all Races, Gender and Religions:

"You must be the change you wish to see in the world."

"The weak can never forgive. Forgiveness is the attribute of the strong."

"Happiness is when what you think, what you say, and what you do are in harmony. "
