At least I think its Java. I had a friend taking it a while back, and I think he did mention Java. I dunno, I'm a ChE and I've never taken that class. Anyway...this is the course description:
Instruction and experience in the use of an object-oriented programming language. Program design; development of good programming style; preparation for other Computer Science courses.
Just a little background about the class:
CS302 is our introduction to computer programming class. This is a pre-requisite for other classes in other majors. Some people even take it for "fun" to learn Java. Even though it is in the CS department, many other students from other science majors (Engineering, Physics, Math) take it. Heck, even the liberal studies people can take it if they are interested in Java programming.
I think that would have been pretty neat to see him talk. I wonder if he actually did a little teaching? On Wisconsin!
Alright, so AOL is the bane of the internet. AOL users really aren't the most knowledgable users on the internet either. So pairing up AOL users with Internet Explorer (known for its holes and exploits) will just make the worm and virus problem worse. I mean, with all the popups with IE and AOL users used to pretty flashing content through AOL...means a lot of infected machines.
Sure there will be stuff on 1700 channels 24/7, but who is going to watch it? I bet the most views they will get will be from PVRs; either in people's computers, TiVos, or the combination thereof. Heck, even with regular digital cable, I wish I had a Tivo...who knew Law and Order was on at least 4 times a day. And that's only on 1 channel.
Then comes the fact that everyone will need to buy different equipment. And the manufacturers will either make a killing on it, or it will be a commodity, giving it away for free.
I would like to see dynamic pricing based on how much and what you watch. But then the networks wouldn't have the funding for the 1650 other channels nobody watches.

Mea culpa, I thought it was built off of Netscape.

*drool* I can't wait till those 60" screens are as cheap as the 19" CRTs. Oh well, I guess if I wait a couple decades or something...
