Which language would be better to learn for a career computer science/programming, Chinese or Japanese?

I'm trying to decide what classes I am going to take in the fall. I'm a computer science major and I have decided that I am going to learn either Japanese or Chinese. I need to know which language would be more beneficial for me to learn in the long run.

I suggest you should learn Chinese first. Chinese seems more and more popular recently. Also, some of the Japanese words are comes from Chinese. If you learn Chinese first, you can learn Japanese easiler in future.
Reply:I'd go with both, also. Take the chinese courses and because japanese is much, much easier for an american to learn, you can always learn that on your spare time. Buying books/videos and learning on your own.
