       Can  we  quantitatively  compare different computer scientists?
       There is a widespread belief among computer science researchers
       that  different  subareas  within  Computer  Science  (CS) have
       different publishing practices (production throughput per year,
       preference  either  for  journals  or  conferences,  number  of 
       citations,  etc.)  making  the  use  of  a  unified  evaluation 
       criterion  unfair.  In  this  paper,  we  present  productivity 
       measures  (both journal and conference productivity) and impact
       measures  (citations per paper and H-index) for a random set of
       researchers   in   17  different  CS  subareas.  This  research 
       \emph{quantifies}  the  mentioned  intuitions and pre-empirical
       impressions   and  shows  that,  indeed,  there  are  different 
       publication   practices  and  impact  value  measures  for  the 
       different  CS  subareas.  However,  we  show  that  few  of the
       differences are significant.
