In the late 90s at LSU if you could get a CS instructor who had actual industry experience, it was worth it. Everyone else, not so much. Of course, they ran all those guys off.

As far as the circle jerk over best in the state, no one cares, especially after time in the industry.

Design a site/application, keep it up, automate the build. Again, good for you. You trying to send a resume or something?

Still going to take a while to build the program there. ULL has been well known for computer science for quite some time.

If all those undergrad courses listed are actually offered on a regular basis, it's hard to argue with you there...I would've been in propeller-head heaven with some of those.

It's a great opportunity for small house and single developers to create killer apps. Unfortunately for MSFT, they build their apps off a commonly used platform....but totally different than Android and iOS...so they can't just "start developing for W8".

Developers pick up new languages and interfaces all the time...you think anyone was developing in Objective C before the iPhone? Not to mention that the languages that MS uses and provides are already well established.

It's also really interesting to see how the UI of these apps will progress....seeing as how most of the developers that know the language are used to developing larger-scale, desktop apps.

You don't have access to the things you do in a desktop app on the phone environment, and what you do have is tailored to the phone, so I don't see how that's an issue. Rounded corners are there if you want them.

Can you try to hide your fanboyism a little bit? at least throw some good criticisms in there, like the stack ranking, or the C++ over-all-other-languages push...

Yeah, the emails are pretty incriminating but google will continue to blur the line between java source code (which is free) and Java APIs(which are licensed). Oracle will argue they copied the code without paying for it.

Probably the best and most expensive lawyers in the country will turn this into an exhaustive mental chess match.

It would be amusing if Oracle wins and it backfires on them, with IBM sitting around saying, "Nice SQL database you got there...shame if something happens to it..."

Heck, the software industry is pretty much built on people ripping off each other's APIs and interfaces in some form or fashion.

Back before they were on ESPN 2, it really wasn't that bad a show; they actually had non-predictable opinions and didn't play the jock-and-nerd stereotype.

So to hook up a Wii to an HDMI port, is this pretty much it?

Nintendo always has to make at least one stupid decision with their systems (and yes, I'm aware that it'll only be 480p).
