Depends on the where and what you want. There are different universities and different kinds of universities. Are you more into the practical world? Or more into theory, that has nothing to do with really existing computers?

Well, my mom wants me to go to college somewhere in Hamburg (I've chosen IT as the course I, out of all the choices, i prefer IT more..)

And what do you mean by your second statement?

Well:

The traditional universities are more into theory. What you do there has little practical application and what you learn there, is often 20 years obsolete - but you can expect learning how to develop complex algorithms that can be used in 20 years for something useful. Large universities, like the UHH in Hamburg in 39,000 students, also suck badly organisation-wise. They already try to make your life harder as student and as immigrant, they are usually hostile.

Then, you have universities of applied sciences (Fachhochschule). They are considered the less prestigious, but are closer to the real world because of their better industry contacts, have much better equipment and on the average, the better teachers. They are usually much smaller also and much better organized... I have now seen both worlds, but the university gets a big red F organisation-wise.

The HAW in Hamburg is a university of applied sciences, but with 13000 students very large.

USA - Quarter Final 2002
Portugal - Third place play-off 2006
Ghana - Group Stage 2010

And guess what? Klose played and won all three games. As long as that guy doesn't get hurt before the World Cup it'll be all OK.

Although Portugal has home advantage...Was there a bloody war for independence? No? Brazil saved Portugal's ass? OK, so I can make that joke without being inappropiate? Phew.

And since Ghana was a UK colony back then I would have preferred Russia, Germany, US and Ghana (UK). Since they already presented bloody Geoff Hurst I would have preferred another great (football) war.

Cleverbot: Who was what?

User: Which prime minister needed to go on TV and announce, 'I have Lost the Game', in order to end the Game?

Cleverbot: None of those are correct.

Kid - Bring me a Silmaril.

Parenting skill = legend (wait for it) dary.

To be fair 1918 began with a...not so great time for Finland, but...Meh, hating the Soviets and being Germany's buddy, what could possibly go wrong?
Oh, that thingy. Dammit.

Right behind you - don't look!

You're lucky. If the ex had been any wiser, you could have been visited by a very angry Vala sporting an iron crown with just one gem and ranting about "those pesky kids dating outside their race and harassing his poor lieutenant who as a consequences is withdrawing more and more into his jewelry-making hobby".
