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==

[http://wso.williams.edu/facebook/view?unix=06tfv Travis Vachon[Jing Cao] (kind of...)] now knows he should extend before division
[[Paul Nhttp://wso. Stansifer '07]williams.edu/facebook/view?unix=08slh Son Ho] (my claim to masculinityI make things crash)
[http://wso[Arjun Narayan '10]] Not good.williams.edu/facebook/view?unix=07jmc Jessica Chung] (I'd be the a5 register on the emulator because that one definitely doesn't workNot good.)
[[Jing CaoJeff Marsceill '08]] now knows he should extend before division [[Sean Barker '09]] had flashbacks during Compilers.

[http://wso.williams.edu/facebook/view?unix=07mg_2 Michael Gnozzio[Arjun Narayan '10] (since dealing with pointers and manual memory management is so trivial, it's a good thing we have MPI to make C programming more difficult)] Hello world only
Andrew Triska '10 writes the world's most complicated and boring text-based games. [[Jeff Marsceill '08]] [http://wso.williams.edu/facebook/view/qz1 Qiao Zhang'13] heap allocators, garbage collectors, and painful debugging! ===HaskellC++===[http://wso.williams.edu/facebook/view/cj1 Chuan Ji] How do I deal with memory leaks? By writing code that doesn't have any.

[http://wso.williams[Rahul Shah]] Can TeX his Math homework when he needs to.edu/facebook/view?unix=06tfv Travis Vachon] (It's pretty frickin sweet)
[http://wso.williams.edu/facebook/view?unix=07mse Matthew Earle] (Offers TeX services for $10/hr.) [http://wso.williams.edu/facebook/view?unix=07jmc Jessica Chung] (Would like her chemistry reports to be TeX-ed, but alas, converting chemical structures from ChemDraw to .jpg on her Windows side and then switching into her Linux side where the Windows side is mounted and then converting .jpgs into the accepted TeX format is too many steps. But if she ever decided aesthetics were worth everything and anything, sheJeff Marsceill 'd be all up ons for chem reports TeX-ed.) [[Aidan Finley '0408]] spent a week teaching it to himself during his thesis crunch, which indirectly contributed to a case of sleep deprivation and a subsequent fall in Sawyer Library. This in turn produced a leg wound which required hospitalization during Senior Week.
