That...that is certainly something. Copyright 1987, holy poo poo. It looks like that's the last time they updated the UI, too. I wonder what that codebase must look like.

Toxteth OGrady posted:The 'wanting rid of it' thing is fairly common in all areas of British English, but I've heard variations like 'this needs cleaned' from Northern England (e.g. Cumbria) and Scotland. Our school just made this change as well, I would hate to be tech support there right about now. At least while they were changing things they also changed our LMS from Angel to Desire2Learn, so we can all stop using IE6 just to submit assignments and download lecture notes! (If you've never had the pleasure of using Angel, it's like blackboard only ten thousand times more poorly written):  iframes in iframes in iframes in iframes

Galler posted:My school uses desire2learn and it's a horribly slow and convoluted mess that silently fails assignment submissions and other poo poo. It's probably better than Angel and about as lovely as blackboard if not a bit worse. I haven't started using it yet as we switched for this year, but we're using the latest version and it seems okay so far from my poking around. Far better than angel, in any case. I really hope it isn't as bad as you say it is, as that would probably mean there are no decent ones anywhere. I've used blackboard, angel, and whatever the open text one is called and they're all terrible. Worst case I can go egg the D2L offices as I live in the same town!

Potato Alley posted:Much as I almost always hate it when people do this, it sounds like you would be well within your rights to hold their site hostage until they pay you. People like this don't understand anything other than that or a letter from a lawyer. (Of course, they may lawyer up too, so that's a calculated risk based on how well you know their personality). But I mean, you hosted their site based on an ASSumption you'd get paid, and they said "hey this guy's a rube, he'll just keep hosting it, we don't pay anything, hooray!" Telling you to your face that they decided you'd keep volunteering is basically saying "yeah we think you have no balls, so why don't you roll on over there and we'll maybe throw you a scrap. Maybe." I'd just take the site down, put up a innocuous parking page with ads (hello.jpg etc. would just be bad legally since it might demonstrate malice), and send them an invoice for your hosting fees plus time plus rear end in a top hat tax and inform them they'll get "their" website which YOU developed and they didn't pay for back when you get properly compensated. This. Grab the domain again and park it until you get paid for your work and hosting and then give them the keys and be rid of them.

WLU starts their comp sci people off with python now, I believe. They do lots of high level stuff though, and I don't get why you would start with that. My program started with C/86k assembly in first semester and then did C++/8086 assembly in 2nd semester, and I'm glad we did because I have a much better understanding of how the low level stuff works. Which if nothing else makes me appreciate how much high level languages do for you. This semester is C# which is a whole other world (we're also keeping up with regular old C though, doing real time stuff in QNX). There's really no excuse for a decent programmer not to know what's going on under the hood. Edit: and in very high performance environments a low level language is going to be faster anyways since it gives you more direct access to the hardware rather than something interpreted or with a JIT compiler.

if you think we wouldn't be sued out the rear end for license violation around here (it'll never happen). We've got MSE on everything, so probably 90+ machines. We're also running unlicensed Teamviewer on everything. And I'm almost certain there's a few computers with less-than-legit copies of Windows. I can recall at least 4 right now that don't have internet access that are constantly screaming about authentication.
