Thanks SweeMeng for such insights, cos i never go to university. I can hardly stand the school system. They do not have subjects i wanted - astronomy, occult science, psychology, sexology, historical flames, ancient philosophy to name a few. I mean who can study the boring sejarah penjajah dan nasionalisma? I choose to dropout and see the real world myself. It was tough. I was a wanderer for many years. Learnt to sell air tebu tepi jalan - minum sendiri jika hujan, pasar malam, penceramah pelbagai jurusan, got cheated by common cons. About R&D, you hit on many nails. Indeed those that call themselves R&D are mere C&P (copy & paste). Like the saying goes, "Good Artists Copy. Great Artists Steal". Indeed CS starts with the machine and advanced thru the OS and compiler. I bought  a book on the JVM like compiler and studied that a bit and must say it is simpler ta machine level. I was a good C&P Cobol programmer in early 80s. But the challenge today is to rule an empire, a global one and whack not one machine version or two, but some real legends. SAP anyone? red1 sweemeng ng wrote: DId I tell you that when they say real world. Many lecturer never in one.. It is in university when I heard comments that this is not used, or that is not used. Place of learning my foot. It is not even on the priority list. Exam is, learning is not. In fact learning useful thing not in exam, is way below in priority. School politics got much bigger attention On Sat, Sep 26, 2009 at 1:52 AM, sweemeng ng <swees...@gmail.com> wrote: The real issue is, what research, there is no research.... There is more to CS than Enterprise Software. Though it is equally worth studying And there is many interesting stuff in computer science. program validation, concurrency, AI, kernel level design, etc. Even application of existing theory is fascinating. Nope, none is happening. I am hoping to learn to understand how OS works, or how to write a compiler when go to university. Instead I just got to learn something that I already learned before I got into uni. University that I know of, just turn into a vocational school, and it don't even do a proper job at that.
