PBS broadcast a documentary on for-profit higher education last week, titled College, Inc. It begins with the slightly ridiculous figure of Michael Clifford, a former cocaine abuser turned born-again Christian who never went to college, yet makes a living padding around the lawn of his oceanside home wearing sandals and loose-fitting print shirts, buying up distressed non-profit colleges and turning them into for-profit money machines.

I have written several posts regarding job trends in programming languages. However, I have not really written any posts that looked towards the future of programming languages. With job trends, I have been focusing on more heavily adopted languages. In this case, I wanted to look at some other languages that are gaining popularity but have not really become one of the top languages to use.

Die mit IPv4 möglichen vier Milliarden IP-Adressen sind weitgehend aufgebraucht, neue werden nur noch durch Recycling geschaffen oder aus "Lagerbeständen" beschafft. Die Knappheit kommt beileibe nicht überraschend. Seit vielen Jahren gilt IPv6 als die nächste Generation des Internet-Protokolls, die mit der Platznot gründlich aufräumt und obendrein Erleichterungen bei Rechnerkonfiguration und Betrieb bringt.
The Albion College Board of Trustees has agreed to reduce its faculty by the equivalent of 15 full-time positions, despite objections from the American Association of University Professors over how the college has handled the move.
