[Year 12 Its] balanced approach

[Shortell, Andrew]

Many members of the list have made sincere contributions, not just to 
the debate about software.

Two years ago I lost two sessional lecturing positions at RMIT Business 
because I was not prepared to invest the time to learn JAVA to the 
extent that I could lecture in it to 3rd year programming students. We 
had been using VB6.  Time, to a teacher, is precious.

Saturday's Daily Dilbert is very relevent to the software thread. I 
would attach it to the list but it is copyright and, after all, we teach 
about that too.

Basically the pointy haired boss asks Dilbert: What is this that I hear 
about you hating the project?
Dilbert replies that he simply mentioned the pros and cons of the 
project. He says that people are so conditioned to taking sides that a 
balanced analysis looks to them like hatred.
The boss then says: How can you hate it so much?
