  1. How many college kids lived off of ramen noodles -- especially in tech -- and went on to do amazing things?

    So, because college sucked for you. It has to suck for everyone in the future?

  2. I went hungry my share of nights back in the late 80s, while working my way through college. My roommates and I would sometimes pitch in together to buy food from the grocery store to make meager meals. So no, its not a new thing, and its not really a problem.

    Tuition price inflation is a problem.

    Yeah, Young people having to starve to get an education in a first world (barely) country totally isn't 'a problem'. Not even a little.

  3. America has become a country where if you are rich life is good, and if you're not rich, you have the freedom to die in the streets.

    Every country has always been like that for the entirety of human history. There's no such thing as a socialist utopia.

    But there's several examples of socialist dystopias.

    There's also lots of examples of socialist...um...averagetopias. Whatever is between a utopia and a dystopia.
    Like most of Scandinavia. Pretty fucking Socialist. Not very utopian nor particularly dystopian.

  4. That's the expected response- call out Universities for their excesses, for their detachment from reality, for their calloussness in taking $100,000 from naive students getting underwater basket weaving degrees.... and get called 'anti-intellectual'

    There's nothing 'intellectual' about anything academics are being challenged for in this thread... 'craven', 'wasteful', 'uncaring', 'fascist thought police' ...these are all much more apt descriptions of the modern academic than 'intelectual.'
    There are a great number of good people at universities doing good work..... but these people ought to be able to see their surroundings for what they are.

    Can't tell you why. But your words make me think about a book

  5. Get a job doing off-shore work. Go out to sea for a couple of months, make enough money for the whole year.

    Be in imminent mortal danger most of your working hours.

    Listen, kid. I know you're trying to be an edgy troll, but at least don't suck at it, eh?

    Well, it's sorta purple these days, so strictly speaking the blue screen is dead.

    Can it accelerate to that speed, and stop again in 1.2km

    No because competent engineers think about things like not killing their passengers.

    Cowards...

    No, it's because those sites were raking in the adrevenue thus profiting on Nintendo IP.

  15. Re:So why is Microsoft doing this? on Microsoft Is Making the Windows Command Line a Lot Better (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 3, Informative

    They're doing it because MS is moving towards GUI less servers, current editions of Windows Server 2016 are "core" by standard, which means they don't install any GUI components.

    Assuming you want it to happen on a Hyper-V VM, do:

      Debug-VM -Name "VM Name" -InjectNonMaskableInterrupt -ComputerName Hostname

    Also fun fact: the Debug-VM cmdlet takes input from pipeline.

    So if you have a big Hyper-V environment you can do Get-VM | Debug-VM -InjectNonMaskableInterrupt on your host.
    Big fun.
