Want to learn Linux? The Linux Foundation announced today that it will be offering its $2,400 “Introduction to Linux” course for free through edX, the Harvard/MIT online learning platform that supports massive enrollment. I don't see a big blue E on my desktop, this must be broken

Is this open to everyone or just US people?

It's edX, so I'm assuming it's not US-only. I know I've registered for other stuff, and I'm not in that land of ... hmmm.

Maybe I'm not reading it right, but I can't find anything on EDX's page that says summer. In fact, I see "third quarter" which is most certainly not summer.
Does anyone know anything about this? Did I miss something?
|

|

This is the one[^], at least that's what's linked from the Linux Foundation site. July/August would be third quarter, and still summer (in some places)

Ooops. Forgot when the third quarter started

Microsoft finalized its upcoming Windows 8.1 Update recently, but the company appears to be sharing it a little early today. While the software maker is expected to release the update officially in April, Microsoft has only detailed a few of the features in the update and has not yet provided an official release date. Links to download a final version of the Windows 8.1 Update, thanks to Microsoft’s Windows Update service, have been discovered. If you absolutely, positively, can't wait

I absolutely, positively, can. 
"the existing setting that allows you to bypass the tiled Start Screen"
Where's that? It's for my wife's Yoga doohicky you understand.

Quote: It has long been held that women earn only $0.77 for ever dollar that men do, in large part because of discrimination. But, Goldin argues, most of the difference comes down to factors that have nothing to do with sexism: The number of hours a person works and the degree of job flexibility.[^]

If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, you are a leader.-John Q. Adams
You must accept one of two basic premises: Either we are alone in the universe, or we are not alone in the universe. And either way, the implications are staggering.-Wernher von Braun
Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.-Albert Einstein

Hardly the first time I've seen an article stating that. I've always summed it up as the problem being that only men are stupid enough in large numbers to let their employers elephant them where the sun don't shine for a bigger paycheck.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

In its latest budget request, the space agency asks for a little coin for a trip to one of the other places in our solar system with the best chance of harboring life. "All these worlds are yours except Europa attempt no landing there"

"Exploring Europa".
That's just an excuse students tell their parents in order to go clubbing in Amsterdam.

If beer as a sports drink seems too good to be true, then get out of here, you naysayer, we don’t need your kind. Canadian company Vampt will be marketing “Recovery Ale” Lean Machine later this year, and according to science, that’s not as bad an idea as it sounds. "With glowing hearts we see thee rise"

I'd hit that.
You'll never get very far if all you do is follow instructions.

the whole point of beer is that it contains alcohol

Yeah, only .5% in this. But that's the same as American beer, isn't it?

Programmer Nikos Mavrogiannopoulos who works for Red Hat, has discovered a major security problem with the Linux operating system—a bug that could allow a hacker to create a certificate that could bypass the normal authenticity checks.
...and we would've gotten away with it too, if it wasn't for those damn kids and their programming dog!

First came ArnoldC, next we might see PHPacino, Cage++, JavaSheen or Objective-Cruise.
See what you started ArnoldC?!

SD Times has managed to do something I thought impossible.
Produce more consistently worthless content than infoworld.

Of course all these toy languages are nowhere near as obfuscable as C...
Stunning example of obfuscated C![^]
