They clearly are attempting to up their offerings (classes and what not), and sometimes I obtain a useful answer (in between the rage arguments of contributors). Anyone here actually use them?
If you don't, that's fine. If you do, what do you find useful?
thx

Never signed up for an account, but have tried to use them in a past life as search results lead me there. Never liked 'em for several reasons of which I could recall none now. Are they still around?!
[Update]
Just checked, and they seemed to have changed their business model or something? Apparently, they're offering a free course every month, and this an item from the curriculum of the free course for May 2017:
Compare Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows 8.1" I see they're all caught up and up to date. 
That site is supposed to be for developers. So please don't bring up an argument about how Windows 7 is still dominating the market, or lynx browser FTW, or some such.

I used to be there in ancient times, when they were free... Since the answer cost money I stopped to visit...

Alex: Fix it? How you gonna fix this?
Skipper: Grit, spit and a whole lotta duct tape.

My firm has an account with them but I can't remember when I last used it. You'll get far better (free) answers on here and SO.

An absolutely wonderful way of making a point.
"Core beliefs are inflexible, rigid, and incredibly sensitive to being challenged". This is
precisely why institutions (e.g. religion, holocaust, etc) in our society are particularly interested in, and make every effort to, indoctrinate children at a very young age with their dogma.

Let's not forget the 'public indoctrination school system'.

Of course I believe it, I read it on the Internet.
Arguing with a woman is like reading the Software License Agreement. In the end, you ignore everything and click "I agree".

I was going to say, and I haven't gotten to the bottom - no references, no citations, etc

They quoted the entity that calls itself the 'History Channel'. Worse than Trump's 'Fake News.' 'Nuff said!
(This post is a shining example of confirmation bias! But it is the (imaginary alien) History Channel.)
Sudden Sun Death Syndrome (SSDS) is a very real concern which we should be raising awareness of. 156 billion suns die every year before they're just 1 billion years old.

Now that's funny. 
There are two kinds of people in the world: those who can extrapolate from incomplete data.
There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.

The way this thing was put together is incredible. Who would read it if it were just one big document of words. Very nice way to put together some abstract position

Also, it uses the Hippocratic Method of ASKING a question, instead of stating a lot of facts.
Would you believe that ...
Do you believe that ...
My example:
Did you know that NOAA edited the temperature data? <sources>
Do you realize they only ever increase/decrease the numbers according to the CO2 levels? <sources>
Btw, there is an article about it: 100% Of US Warming Is Due To NOAA Data Tampering
So I find the article interesting in that asking questions, and asking the least challenging question first might be more engaging...
But even more important. It may also remind you how people try to manipulate you. By finding common ground first (like a sales person), building rapport, and then selling to your needs.
Great article.

I learned a long time ago, that if a publication doesn't have some form of feedback, it's more than likely to be propaganda. Your link goes to what I would consider an opinion piece, no sources, no feedback. Probably the same could be said of NOAA's site, but at least the history of its published data can be researched and compared to the same data from years/decades(/a century?) before. Be discriminate when it comes to science denial, it's a thing these days with the right-wing.

I just fell for an E-mail scam
It went like this...
Jai Prakash has invited you to view the following document:
Open in Docs
I received it right in the middle of a series of phone calls and E-Mails, and the crooks guessed the right domain, and I clicked on the link.
I don't know how much damage I allowed them to do.
When I recognized the error, I immediately with to gMail and changed my password.
This occurred in about 4 or 5 minutes time; hopefully less.
Advice is eagerly accepted. Thanks.

Restore your systems drive from an earlier image. If you did not make earlier images, then I suggest you start doing so now!
