Here's a place to let people know what, exactly, you can hack. (Or use.)
(Edited to remove graduated students. Revert if you feel that is wrong.)
Also for those who feel that they are inadequate because they cannot program in TeX/Mathematica, there will be workshops on these topics during Winter Study. All Math majors will receive an email about this soon. Anyone else can sign up by emailing Rahul Shah (09ras) or look in the daily messages/other appropriate communication media. ==Computer The Devil's Languages==
===Assembly Language===
[[Jing Cao]] now knows he should extend before division [http://wso.williams.edu/facebook/view?unix=06tfv Travis Vachon08slh Son Ho] (kind of...I make things crash)
[[Paul N. Stansifer Arjun Narayan '0710]] (my claim to masculinity)Not good. Not good.
[http://wso.williams.edu/facebook/view?unix=07jmc Jessica Chung[Jeff Marsceill '08]] (I'd be the a5 register on the emulator because that one definitely doesn't work.)

[[Jing Cao]] Compiled his second C program with no syntax errors
[http://wso.williams.edu/facebook/view?unix=08xjh Jerry He]
Just compiled his 300th C program with 33 syntax errors
[[Alan Cordovahttp://wso.williams.edu/facebook/view/qz1 Qiao Zhang'13]] Booyahheap allocators, garbage collectors, and painful debugging!

[http://wso.williams.edu/facebook/view/qz1 Qiao Zhang] How do I deal with memory leaks?unix=06dpr Daniel Rooney] (disgusting)I use smart pointers.

[http://wso.williams.edu/facebook/view?unix===LabVIEW===08xjh Jerry He] will always be a beginner in this language. Just don't get it.
[http://wso.williams.edu/facebook/view?unix=07jmc Jessica Chung08xjh Jerry He] (Would like her chemistry reports Used to be TeX-ed, in the league but alas, converting chemical structures from ChemDraw have since defected to .jpg on her Windows side and then switching into her Linux side where the Windows side is mounted and then converting .jpgs into using Lyx: the accepted TeX format is too many steps. But if she ever decided aesthetics were worth everything and anything, she'd be all up ons for chem reports TeX-edWysiwyg Latex editor.)
[[Arjun Narayan '10]] Can barely survive it.

===Mathematica===
Any physics major worth their weight in problem sets
(a must-learn for any physics major)

[[Daniel Klein Arjun Narayan '06|Daniel Klein10]] But not as good as [[Aaron Schwartz]] (it makes statistics fun!)
[http://wso.williams.edu/facebook/view?unix=06emm Evan Miller08xjh Jerry He] (needs to learn how to put his skills on his own line but is probably very quite capable at R), more so than STATA

===AppleWorks===
[[Laurie BrinkToby Hall]] sort-of-'05 (disputes that this is actually a "computer skill," seeing as the charming thing about AppleWorks is that it's infinitely more user-friendly and intuitive than Microsoft Office). w00t
[[Category:Students]] [[Category:ComputersTed Wiles]](Ted is an amazing hacker and programmer. It isn't uncommon for his digg.com articles to yield over 250 diggs in one day. He also is passionate about his art and has plans to do a thesis senior year that allows him to reinterpret famous art works completely through graphic design software. He is also very good at hacking.)
