You don't want to get me started on what they are trying to do to the
library. ""Kernighan & Ritchie" and "Knuth" are more than
five
years old,
they should be replaced with something more current!" I used to use
astronomy as a counter argument, but now they think that ALL of
those must
be replaced to reflect Pluto's "demotion".
*spit* Bunch of damn suits.
Hey, haven't you heard? All of the standard sorting algorithms
(are ANY of them less than thirty years old?) are all so old now,
they MUST be obsolete! Better stop teaching them!
Don't say that too loud, some idio^WIndividuals In Charge might listen to
you and implement that as policy. And if that trend keeps up, you've
got to learn chinese to operate a new computer one day. *sigh*
Kind regards,
