Zipping a folder has 0 to do with compsci in the first place. Unless it's a course on compression.

    I disagree. You should study computer sciences because you're a geek and want to know more. Knowing how to right-click and select "Create ZIP from directory" is the most basic feature ever. When I started my compsci courses, I had friends who already knew C++ or were compiling their own kernel of this brand new thing called "Linux."

    So you should only major in things you already know?

    Any decent compsci program starts out assuming the student knows nothing.

    Besides computer science is about math, not actually interacting with a specific os.
