The university system is itself fucked anyway. It is grossly unfair
to the students. As I've repeatedly explained here, "students" must
be paid good money to just study. The money should come either from
businesses or the government. It must be an _employment.

Also the degree system is too old. It is idiotic. Full of defects

Business or government "students" would study and go through their
curricula while getting paid like a good job, and eventually (if
they manage it) get fine-tuned clearly understandable certificates
showing what that employee can do.

Scholarships are there. University is there for social snob reasons
and if you pass, a stamp for getting more stamps. Then you can make
money. The Indian Navy paid the fees for the students they selected.
Pioneers,
what.

You generally talk senseless crap, Roachie, amusing though in its way.
Also exhilarating to Arindam when you talk about bumping him off. Some
compliment.

Scholarships are genera help, like charity.

No. Those getting charity get so from empathy. Scholarships are to
support the meritorious who are also poor.

What I say a "student" must

get is _employment_ payments backed by employment laws. Studying is a
serious EMPLOYMENT. It is crazy that crooks expect students not only
not get paid, but pay for their studies as well!.. That's another
pure Jewish scheme which is still being practiced.

>
You never got any employment, Roachie. So you don't know how much any
employee has to study to keep his job if it is worth keeping. With or
without company help. Yes if he is employed, part time study is
feasible. Arindam did his MTech working full time.

If studies are too expensive and your pop ain't rich do cheap
correspondence courses. Why pay tons unless you get scholarships or
work your way! Anyway internet should make universities and the horrid
professors obsolete.

Best is mutual self-help, study circles, coaching, employer originated
training, apprenticeship, etc. One major effort must be to attack
those putting out fake news.

You first get _employed_, and only then study the material that your
employer (businesses and/or government) provides. There's no other
way around this that does not amount to fraudulent money schemes.

Who wants to employ useless roaches like you, Roachie? University
degree gives a stamp vital for recruitment. Better than that is for
the employer to catch them young and fund them for higher education
with a bond, while getting work out if them.

Point is that certification from companies have less worth than uni
degrees. Which is why the uni market remains hot.

Point is, "Roachie" is probably an unregistered foreign agent.

He's "employed" alright -- by Iran.

 
Doubt of they pay him.

Point. Did not notice it.
 
Well if this is a Linux group may I ask about how to install it on
windows 11 and how to use it to access newsgroups using vn and nn as was
done in the 90s A FAQ could help.

If you have Windows 11, you can install "Windows Subsystem for Linux",
which lets you easily run Linux on Windows in a virtual machine.

Give it a google.  And the nn(1) newsreader is in Ubuntu, so that's
the distribution you'll probably want to install.
