    what is measly 30 years in advance, my college successfully trained me for a school bus driving route between Jupiter and Ceres. they were thinking 300 years ahead.

    yes yes, computers exist and horse carriages are also out... my point is that the basic skill set that education is suppose to teach hasn't changed and if it seems like it has changed... you are being sold a bridge to no where.

    The issue, at least in US undergrad colleges, seems to be that other than the professional degree path, its a bunch of darts in the darkness with no value for the college experience other than experimentation.... which i am sure has its own value but not for the debt it incurs.

  6. we believe on Google Denies Altering YouTube Code To Break Microsoft Edge (theverge.com) · · Score: 4, Insightful

    1. we believe google when they say that they didn't blank microsoft
    2. we believe microsoft that the blank div is the only reason edge was a massive fuckin piece of crap and failed.

  7. either that or what is more likely that this is a product of alien student autopsies routinely performed in the basement of the math building

  15. Re:The Internet isn't (just) for porn on Tumblr Will Ban All Adult Content On December 17th (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    was it ever profitable?

    because, morally speaking, "they" don't see a need for the adult site. god created sex for procreation only, not for entertainment.

  21. Free and Secure don't work anymore unless you are capable to roll your own.... and if you are talking about mobile devices... all bets are off.

  22. meh, try webex... i am sure there is a on prem solution that is available if you are security concious even from MS side.

  23. not to mention what the censorship rules will "autocorrect" the text to.
