C++ Inventor Changing Jobs

Posted by chrisd on from the stl-at-a-and-m dept.

JewFish writes "Dr. Bjarne Stroustrup, designer and implementer of the C++ programming language is switching jobs. He has accepted the COE Endowed Chair in Computer Science at Texas A&M University. The fulfillment of this fulltime position was announced today by the head of the computer science department. Now that Dr. Stroustrup will be on faculty I sure hope they start offering a C++ course or two."

    Other activities more interesting, satisfying, and productive than trolling:

    Be more frou-frou than Martha Stewart: Clean all the seeds from a box of strawberries.

    Count the ants in an ant colony. Give each of them a name.

    Watch carefully as a seed becomes a large oak tree.

    ... Linus Torvalds is leaving TransMeta to become a professor at Southern Methodist.

    Seriously, where's the evidence of this? Not a single one of the links in the submission mentions a damn thing about it.

    Do the /. editors ever do a single bit of checking to see if a story is factual? If not, I've got quite a few articles involving politicians and livestock I've been wanting to submit...
