thank you for expressing the opinion of the great unwashed. Fortunately, there are people who don't think this, and have created some really good films. For thinking.
No, its not that students influence professors. I think there is a misunderstanding here.
You see, professors actually are students. While most students finish school and become workers, some continue with graduate, post-grad and so on, and become professors. So the student habits are not learned, they are naturally there.
All-nighters for correcting exams, or finishing an article - they are absolutely normal. I don't think half the articles would ever be written if it wasn't for work at night and lots of coke.
heh heh that's fun. Specially the blinking at the street light.
I also now some poeple who do it. It depends very much on the field though. It seems to be ok to do it in liberal arts, not ok to do it in engineering. I suppose the reason is that all people involved in engineering are supposed to be boring schmucks, which they also are. A self-fulfilling prophecy.
I wonder if the film is as excruciatingly boring as the book.
The director may change the focus of the film and give some personality and believability to the characters. However, with all the fans prepared to launch suicide attacks if only one line of the book is changed, I doubt he dared do it.
I would have to disagree with that. I think Apple does very well in selling furniture.
As computers start to become "powerfull enough" for most aplications, other values than sheer horsepower start to be important. How does it look, does it fit with the other stuff in the room? Style? How easy/convenient is it to use?
It's like comparing cars, not only the engine counts anymore.

I'm an idiot. I should have become a Liberal Art professor it seems. Instead, I'm stuck with teaching boring CS classes to clueless nerds. F*ck.
