Well, it has a lot to do with your usage of 'l337' language. Using the psuedo word 'LOTZ' isn't going to get you very far.
CS stands for computer science, and is one of the more popular degrees. While, granted, most of the programming I do rarely requires the heavy math, the universities will still require at least calculus, and two quarters of physics.
Plenty of people have A+'s. And they work at CompUSA.
Jobs are filled in the computer industry by people with degrees and years of expereince, it's been estimated that around 7 years from now it will be impossible to start in the industry without one.
Lastly, HardOCP is run by a bunch of morons, and /. is not always the greatest place to learn.
