Quotes i won’t forget
here are some phrases i’ve heard from some people i’ve met, mainly in FCIS -my faculty-

“this is the learning curve in FCIS”
Mohamad Meshref…. (SDE Microsoft Redmond)
*that graph was somehow accurate -for me anyway-
Scientific Computing Dept. [Part 1]
well..
i just wanted to write some about the department i’ve choosen to continue with in my final year at FCIS
as you can feel from the title of the topic “Part 1″ which means the first term of the year
basically it was not as i expected “actually i dont know what was i expecting
” but it was better i think it’s the only department that you are given the problem and some basic knowladge and you have to make implement an algorithm
and that’s exactly the ACMer’s life
i’ll give a short note on every subject from the first term
First : Scientific Visualization
Troubleshooting in ACM-ICPC Contest
i’ve participated in many contests as organizer, specifically in the technical stuff which is mainly two portions
and in the last contest i’ve participated in it’s technical preparations i faced a number of troubles
lets take them one by one
1.Teams don’t connect to the Server which is a Linux Machine
- Solution : before you open the server edit the “pc2server” file and edit this line
- java -Djava.security.policy=policy.ini $PC2CN $*
- to be
- java -Djava.rmi.server.hostname=”10.106.0.35″ -Djava.security.policy=policy.ini $PC2CN $*
- of course change the ip according to your server ip
and make this edit in all the executables you will run {team, board, judge…..}

i’m pretty sure that i’m in the new committee
i dont care what my position in it would be
all what i care is that i must be useful to it ..
for the junior contestants to have a chance like i had..
ACM
i think every Computer Science student who didnt join his ACM student chapter had lost sooo much
when u c ACMers in a contest u might think that they are playing or what they are doing is easy
OR
u might think that they are geniuses and they are doing the next impossible and every one of them is the next Einstein
but actually
ACM is learning by fun , learning by practice just learning by all means
as an ACMer u’ll pass three stages in contests
at first when u r beginner u r going to see the contest as…. Read more »
