Thought I’d pass this along.
Bozeman - A MSU professor plans to use the computer science classrooms of a nearly 600-year-old German university as a testing ground for a new method of teaching computer science.
John Paxton hopes his experiment in teaching a sophomore-level course on data structures and algorithms in Germany will be successful enough to […]

This is an interesting separation of church and state case:
In 2001, Excelsior Middle School in Byron, 40 miles east of San Francisco, advised a classroom of twelve-year olds that, “[for the next three weeks], you and your classmates will become Muslims.” Thereafter, the students memorized portions of the Koran, chose Islamic names, wore tags bearing […]

I tend to use the word “bizarre” a lot, so I’m not sure what to call this, as it’s beyond bizarre.

You know what’s impressive? I have a 3 ghz dual core PC at work. You know what’s not impressive? I have to use Lotus Notes for email.

My laptop is horribly outdated, so I need something new. And since I have a job, it can be somewhat expensive. As much as I like building computers, I really don’t feel like it. So I’ve been looking at built systems. I don’t trust most of what you’d buy at, say, Best Buy, though. I’ve […]
