<p>I got it at a Red Mango. It is a chain, albeit a somewhat limited one. Google Maps tells me there is one right next to Rice now, and I believe you are familiar with that area (hehe). The thing is, they change out their flavors a lot so there is no way to tell when each one will be there that I am aware of other than the few staples like cocoa and vanilla. The good news is you could pretty much try something new each time you go there.</p>
<p>If you are an experienced programmer, a new environment isn’t as big of a deal as it sounds. You are utilizing the same basic skills in different ways.</p>
<p>W.R.T. ice cream: I am extremely disappointed that Samoas Ice Cream is a seasonal thing. I thought it might be different from the Girl Scout Cookies season for some reason, but I was wrong. Sad panda is sad.</p>
<p>Both ice cream <em>and</em> Girl Scout Cookies freeze well. Also, if you wrap Girl Scout Cookies in foil before you stick them in the freezer, you’re more likely to forget about them and think they’re vegetables.</p>
<p>I’ll definitely have to try Red Mango…</p>
<p>So you’re saying that, months later, I can unwrap the FORGOTTEN FOIL and be rewarded with Samoas?</p>
<p>I like your thinking. Alas, it’s too late to implement such a solution now. Next year.</p>
<p>That is indeed what I’m saying. It’s a delicious freezer surprise.</p>
<p>If you liked Black Tea Vanilla ice cream you will love Green Tea Peach ice cream!</p>
<p>I forgot the company that makes it.</p>
<p>Well I do like green tea more than black tea, but I like vanilla more than peach. I have a feeling that comparing the two may be a wash for me.</p>
<p>Ooh. Not a big fan of peach. Anything along those lines… peaches, nectarines, apricots… We had an apricot tree in our backyard when I was a kid and one time I climbed the tree and ate all the apricots that I could reach, and consequently made myself incredibly ill. I’ll eat a raw peach or nectarine, and I will begrudgingly eat peach cobbler, but in general, anything peach/nectarine/apricot-flavored is too ambiguously similar to apricots for me to stomach.</p>
<p>Haven’t you ever heard that old saying “Don’t climb the apricot tree and eat all the apricots?” It seems to fit your experience quite well.</p>
<p>I miss pecan trees. NOTE: “Pecan” is pronounced “puh-con,” not “pee-can.”</p>
<p>

<p>It’s not that old of a saying; I actually coined that phrase myself.</p>
<p>Ten points for the correct pronunciation of “pecan”.</p>
<p>Is it not that old or are you just not that young? ;-)</p>
<p>Im not really sure why civil engineering is considered “dead”, it isn’t like the world is suddenly going to stop needing buildings or bridges being made… Its just going through a rough patch. It will be in demand sooner or later.</p>

True. But a good programmer should have no problem with learning new langauge, tool, or application. In fact, there is NO new wheel invented in the last 20 years. Python, Ruby,Rails, C++(the new standard is coming out), they are all developed in the 80s, 90s. They followed the similar logics…</p>
<p>I knew this guy from Google. He told me he was damn good with Java and C++, but he has to learn Python in order to work @ Google (for god sake, that’s what he applied). And indeed, today many CS-related jobs demand grads to know two languages out of the following three: Java, C++ / C, and Python. He said he learned python in a week, and already began his work. </p>
<p>Civil Engineering is a dead field,and I have to agree with you. While aceadmic career is still a choice (and also research), civil engineering is overpopulated.</p>
<p>In the same token, CS is also overpopulated, But because of its nature (our nature), CS is in demand of any field (science, matheamtics, computer science, engineering, liberal, music, and humanities). This is why CS still remains in good stats. However, CS grad starting salary is relatively lower than some other fields.</p>
<p>Fields like biomedical,envirmental,nuclear and engery engineerings are in shortage!!!</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Slightly lower, but more guaranteed (as long as you keep up with technology). I will take $10,000 less ($6600 net or $500 net monthly) and goto bed knowing that I can be on someone’s payroll easily than worrying about if I can find my next job.</p>
<p>Supply/demand helps in other ways because your supervisors have to be pretty much nice to you. The time to find a replacement on a software project can affect a company’s rep.</p>
<p>^^^All three of you are playing this game incorrectly.</p>
<p>Hmm, I’ve never heard pecan being pronounced as “pee-can,” guess it must be common.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Recently I had peach cobbler with peach ice-cream on the side.</p>
<p>I think I have found a new favorite dessert.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I guess ice-cream is in demand, and eventually with the sun expanding (helium is building up, getting hotter and hotter), there will be no more ice-cream.</p>
<p>:) energy is in demand!</p>
