| schestowitz | More about the resident troll: | Sep 04 15:27 |
| schestowitz | > Well, there we have it, Roy. You were schooled in one of the top schools worldwide. If you were in instructor for say, a software programming class, I would have expected to learn much. | Sep 04 15:27 |
| schestowitz | > | Sep 04 15:27 |
| schestowitz | > A school ranked as 25th in Arizona and 2,287th US wide is nothing to boast of. Apparently they are lacking instructors to the point they are willing to hire Snit. | Sep 04 15:27 |
| schestowitz | They just don't happen to know he's an Internet troll. | Sep 04 15:27 |
| schestowitz | > Deleting "our_story.html" in the link still defaults to the same web page. I would have expected a much more sophisticated, professional looking website to illustrate what Dreamweaver was fully capable of. Snit should be the expert and show its full potential. The example he used would have been appropriate for a 4th grade class. (I firmly believe the brighter students at that age would have done a decent job with html.) | Sep 04 15:27 |
| schestowitz | As I pointed out to him, his site actually runs Linux with WordPress, which is FOSS with PHP and not WYSIWYG or anythign like Dreamweaver. He does not even do as he preaches or teaches. | Sep 04 15:27 |
| schestowitz | > Bill Weisgerber (amicus_curious) was a professor (now retired). He was shilling for Microsoft. Snit has dropped a class and has ramped up his FUD for Microsoft. It would not surprise me that Snit is now receiving a token amount from either Microsoft or Apple that he no longer needs to on-line administer another class, which is about as low of an overhead one would exert. | Sep 04 15:27 |
| schestowitz | I doubt they pay him. But Microsoft did write checks to low-life professors who mentioned Microsoft products. It got caught. I mirrored the article which had later been deleted (Web rot). I also received this one recently | Sep 04 15:27 |
| schestowitz | "If you want an interesting story, find someone who was in Åbo / Turku | Sep 04 15:27 |
| schestowitz | when M$ shutdown a move to Linux about 10 years ago. The governments | Sep 04 15:27 |
| schestowitz | official hardware supplier REFUSED to sell a machine to be used in a | Sep 04 15:27 |

| schestowitz | "contributed" 4 or 6 (can't recall) full time equivalents to "help" | Sep 04 15:27 |
| schestowitz | the governments 1.5 in the evaluation. At frequent intervals, the M$ | Sep 04 15:27 |

| schestowitz | "Vaasa was a similar case and the person involved could not figure out | Sep 04 15:27 |
| schestowitz | why the M$ prices kept dropping." | Sep 04 15:27 |
| schestowitz | > How hard is it to teach on-line instruction? Review student homework assignments? Do final grading? (Computers are capable of doing on-line grading.) | Sep 04 15:27 |
| schestowitz | People I know fake such processes too, taking only a cursory look before marking. They oughtn't be doing this. People in my field say they *hate* teaching. It's like a necessary evil they must accept in between research. It's a lot of work, not very rewarding, and it is repetitive and unchallenging. I know this from occasions where I had to prepare talk for a crowd. Right now I try to dodge teaching and publishing papers (I | Sep 04 15:27 |
| schestowitz | have not submitted any for 5 years). I just want to write code (FOSS) and run experiments. In academia, papers/publications are an ageing currency. They also look for people with status that can attract good students who would pay for a degree. Publications are only one means of acquiring a status, dating back to when publicity was synonymous with library and the likes of it. | Sep 04 15:27 |
