>The core pursuit of computer science is how to best design and harness computers" This is why I've been quite happy with the Information Science major. I joke that it's "watered down compsi", as it avoids higher

We've had to ban the application entirely from our work machines. At least when we went through review, even the "clean" versions packaged things that tripped our antivirus software, and at that point, we as an organization d
