That question was between assembly language and discrete mathematics.

I once read a book which paraphrased said If your speech isn't more beautiful than silence don't talk.
No, that is not what I am saying. As information and opinions are gathered the questions and primary concerns change. My question has merely shifted. On another website people were more favorable to my learning assembly language. So this made me wonder is the "networking fundamentals" the weakest link. Furthermore, considering I will be exerting significant effort on these courses it makes sense that I want the highest efficacy for my effort (this human desire for greatest efficacy for our actions furthermore explains the success of many inventions, automobiles, telephones, ect. all increase ones "power" and efficacy. It is a naturally human desire evident in our daily lives)So I figure that "Those who Code." could help me determine the best course of action. Questions and decision regarding serious investments should be carefully looked into.
So, I can make my mind up on many things. I just like to choose carefully.I don't understand your desire for making your presumptuous and brash comment.
Just smile my friend. It's ok.

Thank you for your help on the previous question. I ended up studying C and Linux. Also your response there doesn't apply to this question. These are different questions. They are all related to education and course selection, but they are not about the same courses.
I don't believe that the "people here can see into the future and tell you what is best." but as a forum "For those who code" It is safe to assume that as a community you are informed on things related to computer science and trends. I can safely assume that in general the average user has a more realistic and founded understanding of the discipline and can therefore help guide me. Sometimes a little guidance goes a long way. An informed decision is better than an uninformed decision, the president has advisers for this very reason.

I am using the word "safe" in the phrase "it is safe to assume" as meaning it is probabilistically likely. So it is probabilistically likely that users of this forum know more about CS and relevant topics than I do. This is a grounded assumption.
I believe a better version of what you strive to communicate is "there is risk involved in assumption", or "be careful when you assume"
my "safe" = probabalitically likely
your "safe" = risky/dangerous
So, we are using different meaning equivalents of the word "safe". Our statements are separate statements on the word assume.
So sometimes, it "Is safe to assume." 
TLDR: our statements may seem contradictory, but they are just using different meaning for the word safe.
Words are fun.

Networking. Because in general it is more useful in a wider variety of business domains.
I suspect as well that it might give a better appreciation for what 'protocol' means in defining interfaces between different business "layers" (and I specifically mean that word in a very, very general sense.)

Personally I would have said Machine/Assembly Language as if you have never done any low level coding (assembly), Networking fundaments that does means you stand a greater chance of becoming a front end writer with no appreciation of what happens at low level and become a *B.NET programmer who over uses the phrase 'awesome' & 'dude'. 
my two cents, but hey if you can do both!

PETA are flat out nuts. I am astounded at how easily girls agree to disrobe in public in order to help spread their lies and propaganda. The guy who runs it is clearly an evil genius.

fyi: many men, movie stars, musicians, etc., have posed for PETA posters in various states of dishabille.
fyi: the founder, and now international President, of PETA is Ingrid Newkirk.
No, I am not a member of PETA, and I look at their vegan-in-your-face performances as being a waste of time, but I applaud their good work in reducing the unnecessary cruelty to animals in medical, and cosmetic, research.

If you look under the hype, they are zealots and liars. Did you know they take animals for adoption and immediately kill them?

Same as beefcurtains (commented on the page BW linked to) I'm a proud member of PETA:
"Beneath that lettuce is some enticing meat. But then again I'm a member of PETA already.
People
Eating
Tasty
Animals.
Ahh, them pretty animals and they're wrapped in lettuce. It's all about balance..", beefcurtains
Or this one: "I love PETA, cats (but I cannot finish a whole large one by myself), and dogs (especially Chihuahuas in burritos). If my humor offends you, I am glad.", Mike Gillmer
Enough said, cheers!

PETA?
If you call them zealots then what word do use to describe the organized and not so organized animal rights groups that are really out there?
Christian Graus wrote: Did you know they take animals for adoption and immediately kill them?
Probably have to see more about what you specifically mean by that. But given that they are not in fact zealots in my view I would suspect that although they do have a unrealistic view of animal husbandry they do in fact, or at least most of them, recognize that sometimes animals need to be euthanized.
One must of course recognize that that any animal rescue operation either must have a maximum limit or must euthanize animals. Naturally of course there are zealots, again in my view, that think that there is some other magical solution (sometimes while ignoring the inhuman conditions that result when taking an unlimited number of animals into a limited space.)

OK, here are the specifics:
1 - my old pen friend joined PETA. She defriended me on facebook because I kept explaining how all her links to stories about how cruel all animal farming is, were flat out lies.
2 - PETA runs animal adoption centres that euthanize the animal in the back of the truck they use to pick it up. This has come out because some people have donated their animal and changed their mind and could not get it back.
3 - PETA was started by someone who cleaned labs where animal experiments took place. They ruined the scientists they worked for, by staging photos where THEY abused the animals, who were otherwise well treated, although I accept that there's moral questions over the fact that experiments were being done at all. PETA was started by someone deliberately torturing animals and taking photos.
They are zealots because they think the end justifies the means, and that becomes an excuse for behaviour that is at odds with their claims. They are zealots because they deliberately tell lies that only weak minded people who have never left a city or seen a farm, could possibly believe. Their business is outrage, it pays them well, and they generate it any way they can. I don't doubt that most of the members, and probably even the founders at first, had great ideals, but they fall short of them.

That is a grievous wound, Christian, and we know (how well we know) how exquisitely sensitive you are to every wound, every annoyance, and how terribly the Goddess Nemesis toys with you, continually mucking up everything in your life from airplane reservations to the use of programmers' tools.
I worry the scar (on top of so many other scars) may not have healed, even though I entertain the idea that, as so often, the Goddesses toy with mortals who have special gifts, special potential ... as if they can see future hubris in its larval form, and wish to "nip it in the bud."
I believe a journey to Thailand and a ceremony of exorcism here in Chiang Mai by a local Mor Phii (sorcerer who can neutralize negative supernatural influence) could be very helpful to you. I know such a sorcerer, who channels, in trance, a 30,000 year-giant, in Thai, called a "Yak," in ancient Hellenic times, a "Titan," in ancient Vedic times, a "Guna."
You can see him "in action" as Yak here: [^].
Is it possible for you to travel here under an assumed name to throw Nemesis off-track ?
with concern, your older (but never wiser) brother, Bill

ROTFL - yes, very funny. I was disappointed, but really my point is not that I miss the friend, but that she gave me, through a few months of discussion, a window in to the fantasy world of the average PETA devotee, and how divorced their views are from reality.
