I really hope it isn't.  Though he apperantly also teaches Net+, cisco, and Javascript, so I'm not so sure.

Sounds pretty typical then. Colleges rarely have enough teachers for all the subjects, so they find "close enough" people to do the more basic stuff. Had a physicist teaching a remedial math course (which I had to take because my major required binary and hexadecimal math, and was only taught in that one course) one year.

How old is his PhD? Is it possible that he simply hasn't kept up on newer developments, and is teaching the same stuff he learned 10+ years ago?

Tried looking him up to see if I could find out but his name appears quite common, and putting Dr. in front of it just seems to bring up a bunch of MDs.    His first name is obviously extremely common (Jack, he's Asian American) so that doesn't help either.

So no clue how old his PhD is.  Oh well, I did see him on ratemyprofessor.com though.  High marks for easiness (4 tests no homework) with bad marks for clarity (heavy accent) and helpfulness (expects folks to know more than they reasonably should even in the 101 course).  Glad to see that not everybody likes him.

13-year-old MMO? That's nothing, real life's been going on for billions of years.
I'd really appreciate it if that one went Free2Play.

I wish someone would crack the DRM so we could make our own private, moddable servers.  We could fix so many design issues with the base game.  For one, the vast majorities of MMOs won't even consider perma-death, because people get pissed off if they lose something after dumping even a couple hours into it.  Some people put over 100 years into their characters in this one.

Object.PropertyValue == Object.PropertyValue is false.
Object.PropertyValue != Object.PropertyValue is also false.

Operator overloading is so much fun when someone gets it wrong.

But the game has only been running for thirteen.  If they have over a hundred years, then they would have to put the game inside of its own time-bubble and play it nonstop for the rest of their lives.
Oh wait, you continuing the real life pun...

Life has some really tedious gameplay mechanics.

I've some harsh criticisms for the designer's comment box.

Quote from: Chesterton
For, in order that men should resist injustice, something more is necessary than that they should think injustice unpleasant. They must think injustice absurd; above all, they must think it startling. They must retain the violence of a virgin astonishment. When the pessimist looks at any infamy, it is to him, after all, only a repetition of the infamy of existence. But the optimist sees injustice as something discordant and unexpected, and it stings him into action.

Also, why can't they release the "On the Moon and Beyond" expansion pack already? Players have been waiting ages just to get to travel beyond the skies.

I know, I've been waiting for that one forever right now to.
There's a bunch of annoying players too, the thing really needs some sane administrators.
