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 ofI make things crash) [[Arjun Narayan '10]] Not good. Not good. [[Jeff Marsceill '08]] [[Sean Barker '09]] had flashbacks during Compilers. [http://wso.)williams.edu/facebook/view/qz1 Qiao Zhang'13] gdb is your friend! ===Bash===

[http://wso.williams.edu/facebook/view?unix=06tfv Travis Vachon[Jing Cao] ] Compiled his second C program with no syntax errors
[[Brent Yorgeyhttp://wso.williams.edu/facebook/view?unix=08xjh Jerry He]] '04Just compiled his 300th C program with 33 syntax errors

[http://wso.williams.edu/facebook/view?unix===LaTeX===10arn Arjun Narayan] Will always be in love with this one.
[[Daniel Klein Jeff Marsceill '06|Daniel Klein08]] (too good for word processing)

[[Joe Shoer '06Rahul Shah]] (it's my thesis, and I can do more with it than the math nerds can)Can TeX his Math homework when he needs to.
[[Laura Effinger-Dean Jeff Marsceill '0608]] (I make pretty pictures for my thesis!)
Any physics major worth their weight in problem sets
[http://wso.williams.edu/facebook/view?unix=08xjh Jerry He](a must-learn for any physics major) Math majors can do it too. sunmi yang '08 (it's my math thesis, so there, Joe) ==MatLab=Objective C===

[[Daniel Klein Arjun Narayan '06|Daniel Klein10]] But not as good as [[Aaron Schwartz]] (it makes statistics fun!)

[[Jono Dowse '06Ted Wiles]] still uses it (Ted is an amazing hacker and programmer. It isn't uncommon for his digg.com articles to yield over 250 diggs in drawing and painting modeone day. He also is passionate about his art and has plans to do a 13-thesis senior year Apple drawing veteranthat allows him to reinterpret famous art works completely through graphic design software. He is also very good at hacking.)
