Is my jaundiced attitude towards Minecraft as a service putting down the people who run it?

It seems so unnecessarily negative!

Perhaps, but are you as likely to learn from it as running other services?

And where can you get the real Office for $150? There is the no-commercial-use version for $140. The cheapest commercial-use version is $220. At least, previous versions of Home and Student did not permit commercial use.

OO and LO has issues opening simple ad and subtrac sheets.

I want my software to have issues opening ad sheets,

Yeah, LibreOffice Calc has an array check box for operations that return arrays. Nothing like Excel's intuitive F2 Cntl-shift-enter.

OpenOffice and LibreOffice are certainly better than Microsoft Office on Linux. I can't even get Microsoft Office to work using Wine and VirtualBox.

Maybe I should be telling you to get off my lawn, but I think of servers more in terms of ftpd or httpd.

Well I do more than point at it.

Would the pH of that be 0 (one mole of H^+ or H_3O^+ per liter?) ?

Working out everything out by hand in the lecture lets the students see how you work through the problem,

And you can't work out everything in a presentation?

How are students supposed to stay awake in class? Is most of your stock portfolio in energy-drink companies?

Shop floors and offices don't have outlets?

From the Wikipedia article http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Year_2038_problem

Most operating systems designed to run on 64-bit hardware already use signed 64-bit time_t integers, effectively eliminating the Year 2038 problem in any software that has been developed to use the extended format. Using a signed 64-bit value introduces a new wraparound date that is over twenty times greater than the estimated age of the universe: approximately 292 billion years from now, at 15:30:08 on Sunday, 4 December 292,277,026,596. The ability to make computations on dates is limited by the fact that tm_year uses a signed 32 bit int value starting at 1900 for the year. This limits the year to a maximum of 2,147,485,547 (2,147,483,647 + 1900).[8] While this solves the problem for executing programs, it does not, however, solve the problem of storing date values within binary data files, many of which employ rigid storage formats.

But at least he wasn't Granny Smith.

How is this short sighted and pandering? I'm not sure he would have approved of this.
