Subject: Re: Is mediocrity the norm in computer science ?

They used to do accounting before. Computer Science has never been a science, and it is becoming more and more a engineering or technical school subject, not a university subject. It is somewhat like mechanics, which is a hard subject in physics, and auto mechanics, which is not. -- Guide to non-spammers: If you want to send me a business proposal, please be specific and do not put "business proposal" in the Subject header.
