Why just last week a buddy of mine lost an arm to computer science. Last year he lost both legs in a tragic CS accident. He says he's gonna cut back... but it's just so damned addicting you know he'll go back to it. |

rdrake, I thought that computer science contests were about "general computer science", not just "programming". Am I wrong about it here? |

Are you expecting a free-form essay question on the comparison of bubble sort vs. selection sort algorithms? Seriously though, if you have some good non-programming, computer science problem types that could be objectively evaluated and compared, send me a message, and we'll see what we can include in the upcoming DWITE. |

DWITE is about computer science, you just express your knowalge of computer science threw the program you make. There will deftaly be problem sloving, knowalge of algorithms and other conspects invloded. It is not just scripting. |

For the most part, programming is the language in which computer science is expressed. |
