Hm. Were I'm from, 'computer scientist' and 'programmer' are supposed not to be
synonymous. The later is supposed to be a fairly mundane sort of fellow, who
just codes, and the former a more lofty individual whose competence includes
everything pertaining to computers.

Of course, as a technical physicist, I consider both categories to be
insufferable geeks. ;)

(Tangentially, I was accused yesterday of being a hopelessly techy sort of
fellow after describing a young woman, who is looking to do a PhD in
theoretical physics, as a "typical girl". People have such restricted views of
stereotypes ...)
