Has anyone checked to see how many CSC or ECE professors have a Ph.D in their field? Two of the CSC professors in my school actually have a degree in Computer Science. The rest are either Math or Physics majors.
Actually, I had a CSC professor for 202 last semester who's PhD was in Physics and he was an awesome teacher.
The fact is that very few people actually continue to get a PhD in CSC. I think the year before last, about 50 people graduated in the world. Since CSC is so related to math and actually grew out of math, many CSC professors today are simply math professors who got interested in the machines back then.
"What does this have to do with the topic," you say? I just find it interesting how so many people who started in totally different fields became CS professors, and the fact they are actually good at it! It might give hope to some of you who all ready have higher education and want to teach somewhere in a field you're not specalized in.

Neither am I and I'm on comcast@home. I logged onto my university server last night and checked my webpage from there on lynx. Looked fine to me. Exactly which parts of the @home network does this affect?
The only ports that are closed at my end are the SMB ports...I don't know why, but @home disabled the ability to contact my PC via Samba. Wierd...I also can't ping my machine but I can FTP to it...also wierd.

I hate to tell you guys this but Global warming is quite a myth. Do you actually think for a second we as humans have the power to change the conditions of our atmosphere? The only reason we notice effects such as smog is because of large amounts of people living within a confined area, a city. If you spread out the human population evenly across all the habitable areas of the world, even with our modern technology, we'd never notice the effect we have on the planet. Remember back in the late 70's early 80's when several cities in California were filled with smog? Has anyone noticed that within less than a decade, the smog is gone due to the California emission standards? Industrial cities like Chattanooga TN and Atlanta GA are other good examples of how cities can clean up their acts in a very short amount of time.
I'm sorry, but Global warming is a myth. The Earth's temperature has increased an average of 1 degree over the past century. This "1 degree" is also a very liberal number since we can't accurately determine what the average climate was during the early part of this century or any other for that matter. The margin of error is greater than the estimated change (kind of like the last election:)
What I'm getting at is that we're scaring ourselves to death. We're scaring our children with the threat of doom to earth. When Mt. Pinotuba (forgive me if I spelled that wrong) erupted, the global climate was changed to the point that entire corn crops were laid waster and our farming economy suffered in the year after. The only thing that humans have done that we can convulsively link to increasing the global temperature is the equivalent of a man made volcano...a nuclear bomb.

one word: Gopher!
yes. If you look in the RedHat rpm section, they do have a package for the tomcat4 module for apache2
