...middle of the class, they're actually teaching 3 classes, not one.

Pair programming? Great. Another step toward the institutionalization of parasitism.

Perhaps in business, good "managers" do. I don't know. I'm working in a boys' club at the moment. Perhaps it is a different standard in science, requiring something like "excellence" as opposed to simple productivity. Personally, I take more issue with slowing science than I do with capitalism. (Though the good lord knows there are some miserable folk leading science programs, to be sure!)

...of ~~carpet~~ respect. ~~People~~ have to be able to accept deserved criticism, though I think the tendency to expect sympathy might be instinctive in some cases.

:x

Isn't that making oneself an accessory to a crime or something? Isn't there some necessity to report a known criminal activity?

And does anyone have any specific details about what is preventing prosecution of the sex crime? Is it that the victim is uncooperative?

It's a very small step from judge to "judge-mental"! :)

It seems a bit unfortunate not to try to expose students to the main store of human knowledge, but maybe that just isn't practical anymore.

My old college liked the adage: "learning how to learn". Perhaps if students are taught basic research and problem solving, they will be able to investigate other/general topics as needed or desired.

...facing are a lot of hype. The age factor is a lot of hype and the new languages are a lot of hype. Anyone who has good core programming skill (of any flavor) is still going to have to address (on a new job) finding themselves in a wilderness of complexity. Anyone who can dig in and eat fire will always find a place, and the only path to this is experience. (There goes the age factor.) (Think of a steel blade tempered in a fire.)

The primary cause of feminism I have found in men is having a daughter. They can be an extremely strong influence. I've seen them (fairly young girls) overwhelm their fathers right in front of me.

Thank god this is something they seem to realize is NOT the case in TX, and fortunately TX has the space to spare. I, for one, can't f- STAND living all packed in close together like that. I perceive it as some kind of mental illness.

Yeah, this "victim" (big ~~executive~~) sounds like a bit of a douche and an a-hole. We live a world of e-money. Thems are the breaks for such convenience it affords. Let him go back to reaming out some underlings to get his jollies.

BTW, wish I had some mod points to give!

...that I'm aware of that corporate likes younger developers is because they're green and can be pushed around. On the face of it you would think this strategy somewhat limiting (i.e. what about talent, ability, etc.?), but that seems to be what feeds the captain's cat! :)

...on the face of it, if the researchers are so good, what are a couple of biologists doing trying to publish (survey-based) social science?
