What is the difference between a Computer Scientist and a Software Engineer?
I've asked several people this question and I have received answers from "there is no difference between the two" to biased responses in support of one or the other.
Are you applying for college? I'd recommend not worrying too much if you're just in high school now. It depends on your school, of course, but usually switching between computing majors at the same school is pretty easy.
Unless you go to RIT, you won't have a choice. Most schools only have one computing major, which is usually CS. EDIT: Forgot to reinforce that the distinction between the two is practically negligible, and you can get an equivalent to RIT's Software Engineering curriculum in any decent CS department.
An additional note: You can't get a Ph. D in "Software Engineering," only in Computer Science. If you're interested in doing any kind of research, do CS.

I know RPI has both a computer And systems Eng. degree and an IT degree that are separate to varying degrees from CS.
To answer the original question a computer scientist is often more of an academic, someone who works on algorithm/math level stuff. Where Software engineer falls more under the umbrella of programmer, but it also sort of implies a familiarity with top level design of software. Academically software engineering tends to fall under the umbrella of computer science.
I'm doing a snack exchange with some blokes (I believe that is the proper term) from the Australian continent/country. I know some things to get, however I want to include other uniquely American things. Anyone have any ideas?
I was thinking of including as many different pig snacks as I could (pickled pigs' feet, pork rinds, etc.) with a diagram of a pig and a note saying "SOME ASSEMBLY REQUIRED".
Are they? I only need to eat one for one day. I don't want to make sandwiches or whatever for Saturday, and I have a bunch of MREs that expired in May 2010.
I was always just amazed at how I could heat them up in that bag by just adding water. I also loved the dried fruit snack as well as the mini Tabasco bottle.

I always like the bread in them. Not sure what to call it though, biscuit maybe? Also, that story further down the page was hilarious.
Is it weird that when cuddling with a girl that sometimes I like to be the little spoon?
I don't know that "little spoon" is the proper descriptor for me, but it's nice sometimes. I mostly prefer to be the big spoon, though - probably like 85% of the time? Maybe 90%?
Playing board games online, is it fun? I do not really have anyone near me to play board games or RPGs with, well within about 70 miles anyway, so I was curious if that was an enjoyable alternative.
In America, would it be considered normal to give your teacher a valentines card?
As a young kid, sure. After 4th grade or so, though, students stopped giving cards to their teachers (at least where I went to school). That was mostly because there would be class-wide card exchanges up until 4th grade.

Real military MRE's will turn you off to them so fast. Chicken and Rice may not be a personal lubricant, but the Southwestern omelet is ONLY good for that.
It gets better - Our rations are nutritionally balanced and carefully designed so that you can eat them for extended periods without causing any problems like constipation and the like. They're objectively superior - Lighter(Remember, a single rat pack is for 24 hours, a single MRE is for 1 meal, so you're carrying three of them for the same period), better nutrition, won't bung you up or have you shitting through the eye of a needle, tastes better, AND we have a better can opener, the FRED.

I used to eat them all the time when my father was in the military.
...wait, that's 2 years.
...the question stands.

EDIT: Oh, look at that!
We are playing various multiplayer Carcassonnes, T&E, and other games. I find it to be fun.
And not just because of this -
