Testify! Lots of good dirt coming out of the HealthSouth trial and,
of course, from Enron.
There's another accountant-spawed problem too: about 5 times a day I

I gave up that sort of mind fuck a long time ago. In the long run its
not worth the effort.
Then again I could just be screwing you over...
I'll let you decide.
But the most enjoyable type is to mess with a person's head when they
know it, and know that I'm doing such to them.
But as I said I r

hmm, I was sure I had seen online CS classes from UMD but I guess I am
mistaken or possibly they were undergraduate. A certain amount of
clicking around did produce the following, which may possibly be of

Depends. The definition varies from school to school. CIS tends to focus
more on Analysis and Design / Architecture / Planning whereas CS focuses
more on computer architecture, programming l
correct me if I am wrong, but imho CIS is a semi-business degree.

fortunate enough to go to great catholic schools
Perceptual and Cognitive Psychology and Information Processing Theory
fit within CS very neatly. Think Usability and Human Computer
Interaction. To effectively take into account who is using your
system, you need to know about the user that's where anthropology,
psych and sociology fit in.
