It isn’t, actually. Those “essays” have questionable pedagogical results and now they will become an even bigger hassle for students.

No way I would touch THAT, don’t worry :)

People who buy WinRar should consult with psychiatrist about their medication. WinRar is obsolete. We have better open-source alternatives for a decade or even longer.

Oh, that’s nitpicking. Study chemistry or biology. Those have much things to memorize where logic wouldn’t help you much.

People do too. And history is ALL about fairy tales.

Time changes. Cultures, laws… Absolutely all that changes. Data, that history gathers, can’t be used for prediction. At least the precision won’t be better than if you will just analyze your current situation. Absurd is trying to predict the future from fairy tails about kings and dragons.

That’s the question I can’t answer. Really, I can’t formulate a really nice definition of usefulness. But still I can’t think of any use for history. Except maybe fun as in “literature”. But being fun doesn’t justify its teaching at school. Drinking alcohol is fun too, but…

There are many other actually useful studies for that. Math excels in that.

That’s strange logic. I just want people to analyze the current situation with modern tools, not referring to some ancient legends.

They are useless. History is useless by definition; and philosophy has reached the peak of its usefulness somewhere in the middle of the XIX century and can’t do better anymore. Like alchemy, which was useful at some point.

Vatican Programmer: Oh, mighty Lord, sitting in the Sky, show me the way to this bug I seek and eliminate ineffectiveness. Amen.

Trump: A golden science of deals. Lesson 1. You pay me and I won’t hurt you much…

“Pirating” isn’t stealing regardless of anything. It is unsanctioned copying.

Authors will receive next to nothing too :) Only publishers.

With cucumbers, for example. Pickled cucumbers go nicely with vodka.

Does vodka help?

Haven’t used anything Microsoft in a decade but I do remember that there were some certificates for executables… Are they mandatory nowadays?

Try to run any 3d modelling software and create something trivial, like a textured cube. Measure the size.
