The time for diplomacy is over. TIME TO BRING THE PAIN.

As computer scientists I bet a lot of people are interested in the history of computing. Thankfully there is a place to learn. Proffessor Mak is teaching a History of Computing class and has invited several speakers to talk. This Speaker Series is open to everyone.
The next Speaker is Donald Knuth with a talk titled All Questions about the History of Computer Science Answered. So bring your questions for him to answer.
This talk will be in the Engineering Auditorium ENGR 189 from 6:00-7:00 PM and is open to the public. A reception for students and faculty to meet informally with the speaker will start at 5:00 upstairs in ENGR 294 before the talk. The talk will be recorded
Check out the rest of the Speaker Series here:

Hey everybody, the Computer Science Club is throwing a BBQ to recruit new members. Everyone is welcome and as long as you have your SJSU Tower ID, you get free food. We’ll be serving burgers, hot dogs, veggie burgers, chips, soda, etc. Come on by and meet the Computer Science Club!
Lets kick off the new semester with a LAN party! If you don’t know what a LAN party is, let me give a brief description:
LAN parties are when we bring our computers together for the sole purpose of kicking the ever living hell out of each other…in video games.
Things to bring:
-Computer
-Monitor
-Games: if you have games that you would like to play with other people, make sure you bring the cd and cd keys.
-Your OWN CABLES. Ethernet cables (we have a few at the club but please try to bring your own and a spare if you feel so inclined.)
-$5 if you want pizza (all you can eat, just remember the earlier you come the more pizza you will get because little ceasars closes before midnight.)
-Yourself
There will be two gaming tournaments to test your gamer skills! The first game is Gears of War 2 (XBOX 360) and Goldeneye Source (PC)! Get hype!
Hopefully, some of you have been attending the TopCoder nights on every Tuesday and Thursday from 5-7PM. If you haven’t, here are some of the problems that you missed. Feel free to solve them on your own time, and we hope to see you around one of these nights!

Happy Coding.
Well, we do have some news regarding the website…it’s still undergoing maintenance while we redesign and rebuild it into proper working order. Unfortunately this is going to take a while. … Whether or not the code monkeys will have Hamlet written for us in the interim is up for debate.
Fortunately we do have an exciting giveaway for you. Assorted old computer parts and peripherals ripe for the taking in true fire sale style – everything must go. See the hallway outside the CS Club’s front door for our assortment while it lasts.
Our code monkeys are currently unable to find a solution. Please stand by as they make another attempt. Perhaps you should do some TopCoder or Project Euler to pass the time?
The title pretty much sums it up.
