Because then they'll learn Google python and be forever grateful for their middle management position. Cradle to grave. I see anti-trust in the cards for ABC.XYZ.

That is all.

Couldn't get over the "as a millennial."

It's not like you're a rarity, dude. Especially online. Wait until your vegan ways carry you into 90-plus range, then say you're a milenial and the kids will be like, Oh, shit, a millenial.

At this point, it's just annoying.

Are you saying they should do nothing, and hand out degrees to these kids, sending them into the world thinking that this sort of behavior will always be tolerated everywhere they go? Because that would be setting them up for failure, giving them the wrong idea of how society works, and thus not doing their jobs as educators.

Sure. So long as they're not on sports teams or other school organizations which have codes of conduct specifically disallowing things which bring disgrace on the University.

They're not being arrested for saying it. No government agency is moving against them. So far they haven't even been kicked out of school or had their public loans revoked. So WTF does the constitution have to do with it?

The university can shut down fraternities almost whimsically. What do they honestly contribute to campus life besides money, anyhow?

Test tubes have feelings too though.

actually exist. As an OpenTTD player, active that is, I can tell you that for some the fun of old games doesn't ever really go away. In the intervening decades since the original TTD, the community has actually advanced the game play well beyond what the creator was aiming at. If only graphics weren't so expensive to produce (time or otherwise), I think we'd see a major improvement on that too. But as I said, I'm an active player. There are similar communities, like the ones around Age of Empires 2 and Rise of Nations. The former seems to have a lot more success doing mods. This would be really, really awesome for games like Rise of Nations. I think it's a legitimate request even in the eyes of the copyright holders. In this case they've actively decided not to profit from the games online anymore. Users with legitimate rights (ie, purchased) should be free at least to keep their software functioning properly. The case could eventually gaslight the whole update scam some parts of the industry have been running for a long time. I'm not saying that someone should sanely be using software from the 1990s or anything, I'm just saying that they should have the right to try if they paid for the software. Similar to how you should not be limited on the number of devices you can sync a digital goods store to (if you violate the agreement in other ways, that's another issue, and arbitrary device limits are another way of forcing people to spend more money in some cases). In summary: fuck yeah.

Free with $2000 purchase, fucktard. And you can't downgrade. Moving from Snow Leopard to Lion was my greatest mistake. Up to that point I had been a satisfied, kool-aid drinking, cash-spending Appletard.

You're postulating that the majority of cloud-based operating systems are not going to be GNU/Linux based over the next decade? Now that's laughable.

Because we want students at public schools using free software and learning to hack it, and without a desktop takeover, that's not going to seem viable for anyone.

Day's highlight! Come on now /.!
