Poll: Stupidest thing a Computer Science teacher has said in class.

**Mithrandiir42** · 03-06-2004, 06:14 AM

This coming from a professor who decided that teaching "Windows Programming" in Java was a good idea for a class: (said with a thick southern accent) "Now, a traffic light has a Red, a Yella, and Blue light."

That first post was so bad, I'm sure it was made with Apache.

actually mabye he was being really really sarcastic and implying they actually used vi to write out - in ascii - the binary image file and had to keep it simple so they didnt get lost... okay so that would be a bit ludicris but still. hmm, yeh, mabye it's more likely he was being an idiot.

Those posts are missing so many opening [QUOTE] and [B] tags that... aww, I never was any good at coming up with that stuff...

Those posts seems from people so confused, that they must be dualbooting windows

{back to the topic}
mi A+ teacher said that ASCII mode on ftp is safer that binary for very large files.

The quote tags are formatted so bad that I'm sure FrontPage was involved.

EDIT: bwkaz beat me to that one. Oh shucks

not really something anyone said, my high school comp teacher is actually probably the smartest guy i know, but something the district admin did.... way back when, all the teachers had like a 486 or a pentium 60 or something equally crappy in their classroom. they all had this security program called "foolproof", only problem was, it was more like "fool proof" as in, it only stopped the fools. believe it or not, the whole thing could be disabled by resetting the computer after it booted and hitting f8 to get the "step-by-step" thing in dos for autoexec.bat and config.sys
they thought it was so good, then one day i showed my math teacher how to disable it (he needed to save something to a disk and it wouldn't let him and he forgot his password) within a month they had all those computers replaced with pIII's running windoze nt 4.0 lol.
yeah, that admin guy was an idiot... he was all for windows, thought *nix was evil. he actually got me banned from the computer lab just because i had the red hat logo as my avatar in some totally-linux-unrelated forum.

This isn't really anything anyone said either, but el Muerté's post about his admin in high school reminded me of a funny story from my hs days.

I was taking the CCNA class over the span of two years. We got through three full semesters and about 80% of the last one, when suddenly our network (ironically enough) crapped out on us and we could no longer get to the class website to get the lesson reading. This continued through about the last month of the year, and we never did finish the class. On the plus side, we spent the class period taking apart and repairing computers in the lab next door, and I learned a lot of what I know about building computers there. Needless to say I never attempted the CCNA, but maybe someday.
