It's called "college" for a reason

This isn't high school any more kiddies.  This is College.  It means you have to take responsibility for a lot of things, particularly your homework.  If you are an introductory computer science student, and have to have your mommy call and ask "What is a compiler and where do we get one" you are probably not going to make it.  If you call and all you can tell us is "I can't do my file thing" you are probably not going to make it.  If you can't understand the what PuTTY is used for (google it some time, dear readers if you haven't heard of it) you are probably not meant for computer science.  Oh, and by the way, the Help Desk Guy will not write your programs for you either. Nor can we debug one if it won't compile.  Especially since you don't even know what a compiler is or where you can get one.

Yes, it was all the same student.
