I'm not using foul crude language, yet I'm the one with the problem? Faculty and staff, the former is a subset of the latter. Sure I am talking about IT people in particular. The fire suppression system shouldn't be improperly designed, not with the money the University is literally throwing at buildings. I simply do not understand how a UPS can be behind the power source for a server instead of in front of it where it belongs. That is very strange. I can understand loss of power due to a rodent building a nest in the breaker box, but the servers should at least be able to shut down properly. Improper design suggests that there is a competence issue and the people who are affected are students paying frankly a lot of money to be students in the first place. As far as the shithead comment, I didn't list any names and frankly it is likely that most higher education institutions have problematic professors and other problematic staff. Computer science at PSU seems to be going through a period of change, not all of it good. I have run into more CS profs with nasty attitudes than profs from other disciplines. Granted, my view being a CS major on other disciplines is fairly limited. Frankly, I didn't target all PSU staff or all PSU professors with my original post and I purposely left the specfics out on who I think has a problem. How is that being a shithead? I had terrible luck with CS311 this term. I feel it is being very poorly taught. I'm hoping the other instructor who isn't teaching it this term doesn't believe in giving homework that the students can't solve and learn from. I saw the instructor, I won't name him, get visibly angry with students on multiple occasions which is unacceptable. I don't care what the student is asking, suck it up and be professional. Seriously. It is disturbing to watch adults have to put up with another adult's anger issues. I fell behind and there was nothing I could do, so I got out of the class. It is frustrating in that I really want to move on. Please keep name calling using crude foul language to yourself. _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
