You know why computer science is so called?

Probably the same reason it's called 1 kilobyte, when it's not even 1000 bytes.

To fuck people over for money? Hm, that does make sense.

I'd like to welcome you to this course on computer science. Actually, that's a terrible way to start. Computer science is a terrible name for this business.

First of all, it's not a science. It might be engineering or it might be art, but we'll actually
see that computer so-called science actually has a lot in common with magic, and we'll see
that in this course.

So it's not a science. It's also not really very much about computers. And it's not about
computers in the same sense that physics is not really about particle accelerators, and
biology is not really about microscopes and petri dishes. And it's not about computers in the
same sense that geometry is not really about using surveying instruments.

I knew compsci students are too retarded for actual explanations.
