About bloody time. I did liberal arts for a while in University and I'm sick to death of articles touting.NET's 14% speed improvement over J2EE or some such nonsense. The real question, as we all well know, is how does a JVM feel when it's forced to run on a windows 2000 server? What is the sound of a single thread in deadlock with itself? And if a server with no network connection crashes, can it still seen as being down?
More seriously, I think that the opposite of this class (one in which Technical people are given a bit of a liberal arts education) would be even more beneficial than this one. Raising awareness of complex social issues among techies might lead to a class of technical people who could communicate technical idea with the rest of the world rather than sit back and moan about how nobody in power understands the technology.
Personally, I'm having trouble reconciling the theory of inflation with a few well established notions about the universe. Does this mean that there are many turtles supporting other planets almost identical to our own?
