Yes, I think MOOCs are an interesting new educational paradigm. But if I'm going to spend time doing something at university level, then I'd like to get university-level trasnferable credit not just a certificate of completion. Otherwise its just another time-sucker like WoW.
I would definitely agree that certifications + some dicking around with SQL and exchange would definitely help. Go for the latest versions because MS is going Cloud-everything and you will need to know cloud, whatever your future career in IT may be.
"The idea that climate has been stable and is being upset by human activity is the left wing version of young earth creationism"
If I had mod points then that sentence would be worth at least a million. Climate change alarm is based on a myth of past climate stability - it is disguised creationism.
A modern society would have plenty of warning if a supereruption were to happen again on that scale, and plenty of resources to mitigate the effects (though not all obviously). I'm not saying it wouldn't be disruptive, but it wouldn't push humanity to the brink of extinction.
Its not testable at all. Its a prophecy set so far into the future that the modellers will likely be dead before 2050. There is no way to tell in any intervening period before then that the claim can be proven false.
Its not science at all. Its a religious belief in the validity of mathematical models which cannot predict climate in the near term better than by chance.
A black and white Sci-Fi comedy set in the outer reaches of the galaxy? For a real retro look, why not go 1-D and have a silent movie?
Most cinemas are converting to digital like crazy - which means the number of places you could see this will be limited and the audience even more limited.
If this article had been on neowin and had praised Microsoft's new OS for breaking through on a gaming distribution platform after a lot of marketing effort from the distributor including an opening sales and had managed 2% share, Slashdotters would have been cackling and calling it hype.
What the TFA is is hype and wishful thinking. Linux has an enormous long way to go before its even considered worth porting to as part of current game development.
Its a start, but no more than that.
Those of us who are old enough can remember lots of dawns in the IT industry - most of them false.

No.
Mod parent up!
Want to bet that this will be exhibited soon as a poster child of spurious significance and poor statistical analysis?

Amazing.

Wow, the straw man production line is in top form!

And meanwhile in the Antarctic, the year-on-year trend is growth. By 2050 the penguins will be able to walk to South America without swimming.
Or perhaps extrapolation of tiny trends is an idiot game believed by idiots.
The Northwest Passage has opened repeatedly since at least the early 20th Century.

I'm not investing
...blaze the trail that nobody wants to follow. Good for them.
Here in the real world Slackware blows as a VM and is irrelevant to the future of cloud computing.
...to grow energy instead of food. Which means the price of food rises and the poor riot as they cannot afford to buy food,
So immoral that even Al Gore rejected it, which is saying somethng.
...is HYPE,
Nothing to see here, move along
You see? Now that's the sort of simple upgrade that will have all those windows users just green with envy

You suck.
(As an example of modder feedback)
No mod points, but you deserve them.
But it exists to run Wine better. I wonder if there's a better way...
This IS the service pack you insensitive clod!
Ssssshhhhhhh Linux is rock solid. Pass it on
