Universities Creating Computer Discipline Offices

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the thank-you-sir-may-i-have-another dept.

geisler writes "The Chronicle of Higher Education has a very good article on how larger colleges are beginning to create departments to deal with the social issues related to computer problems and not depending solely on technical solutions. The University of Maryland's Project NEThics is used as a prime example."

    since the government controls the money, and money is the foundation and driving means of business, how is the government suppose to stay out of business?

    As soon as a company becomes a governing body then it's time for change. Microsoft has become too much of a governing body in the computer industry. Now YOU may be interested in Microsoft dictating the computer industry, but not me and not anyone who has a clue. Microsoft isn't trying to be innovative. They are just trying to augment Microsoft. How could you possibly, IF YOU HAVE ANY FREAKING MENTAL RECOGNITION OF LOGIC AT ALL, want a company who is working 100% for their own good, dictating an industry and subverting governmental control? I just do - not - understand you people. Now if microsoft loved me as a person instead of loving my money, and were trying to help the industry instead of helping themselves, then I too may possibly be against a break up.

    Now on to HELPING MORONS GET A CLUE about monopoly. When do you stop a monopoly? Do you wait until they own all the oil companies, phone companies, and arms companies, and THEN split them up? Do yo know what stops a company from accomplishing this? "Governmental interference" as returnofthe_troll refers to it. Do you not have a clue why a company like AOL Time Warner has to petition to merge? For one, why should they merge? It will only make their product worse.

    so anyhow, I'm going to back to work.
    try to get a clue thanks

    No, it's your pole smoking antics.

    At least try and pick up guys over 18, it's more polite to their parents.
