Oh wait that was Pre-K
ah that's because unlike the other posters I am in fact clairvoyant
Its a good thing that everyone seems to be clairvoyant and understand how the OP *can* indeed fit it in to his current schedule when he says he can't. Maybe he has a 100 hour a week job, a demanding girlfriend, 200 kids or all three.
Reasonable question asked - with reasonable parameters - unreasonable dissection.

Haaaaaaaaaaaaan!
While we understand very well the drawbacks of Opa not being Object-Oriented (at least not in the usual meaning of the term), there are several reasons for this choice. The first and most important of these reasons is that experience from 15+ years of experienced developers writing scalable systems with Object Oriented Programming Languages, and concluding that OO is not the right paradigm for the task, and that other paradigms need to be hammered upon OO languages to make them scalable
More experience would tell you that these technologies evolved organically to meet a rapidly changing market need - thats why they were "bolted on" to also-emerging OO server-side platform. There was no attempt at central planning. A single cohesive OO approach could just be as scalable.
We decided to choose a paradigm not on its popularity, but rather on its suitability for the task of writing highly-scalable, highly-secure, highly-dynamic web applications. This paradigm is comparable to that of Erlang or Scala.
Uhhh the Java lesson, which like it or not is widely adopted demonstrates the opposite. Erlang and Scala at the moment remain in the realm of the hobbyist or bleeding edge experiment - Java saw rapid widespread adoption because it was so similar to the oh-so popular C++ - it both syntax and semantic terms.
Good luck!
It'll all be fine when MS releases their explorer-specific extensions for data storage and security.
Is there some reason MS Word or OpenOffice + stylesheets aren't up to the task? It sounds like you might be overcomplicating things.
I totally agree. Wrote my computer science PhD in word with no problems. IMHO LaTex is the right tool for the job if you have lots of equations, and unless his PhD is on psychohistory I very much doubt he needs that kind of power.
As a professor I think a laptop is an excellent tool for the classroom - my students aren't just there to listen to me pontificate about a subject. I teach software development and design so I want my students to apply the subject we are talking about - right there in the classroom if possible, there's no better way to learn. If they choose to look at something else instead that's their choice. However you'd be surprised on how many people use their laptops to take notes, look at the course material online or even proactively bring up related points by doing some fast research via their search engine poison of choice.

What can we do about the Gestapo America? BTW this article should be titled "Corporations hire professional stalkers to track employees outside of the workplace."
Shouldn't the OP be modded funny? - didn't anyone look at the link?
