Look at the cute little Intel try to do things. Awwwww.
It's like somebody in their boardroom thought that just making boneheaded decisions about their processors wouldn't make AMD competitive enough, so he invented a massive boondoggle that nobody has any need for.
...tells me that it is massively unlikely this was intellectual curiosity. Some kid thought it would be funny to make a huge bang at a place where huge bangs are known to cause massive administrative overreaction.
When I first read this, I thought it was horrible. One of the articles linked in the story here called it a botched experiment. What kind of loony racist throws the book so hard at a kid who messed up a project? Then I went looking for the "experiment" and learned there was pretty much definitely nothing botched about this. Youtube is full of works bombs, which is apparently what these are called. A popular chemistry blog I stumbled into explains these are actually illegal to make. And I really don't see what else you could do with these components.
Now, this kid certainly doesn't deserve to be tried as an adult for multiple felonies just because they made a total dipshit choice that hurt nobody. But what's going on here is just usual-business prosecutorial excess, not racism. Ruining dumb high school kids' lives is practically what these fuckers live for lately, regardless of skin tone.
So you can tell a judge you "locked the door" when businesses that can damn well afford it decide to steal your $10,000 business application that you've decided needs to be that expensive due to a very small market.
Whether there's actually a good reason to charge that price is arguable, but if you do, you'd better "secure" it.
The fact that you consider holding somebody back a grade because they did not show sufficient competency to pass a punishment shows me that you understand as much about education as our most respected and best paid experts in the field do.
I don't really have a problem with this. Everyone knows that a car, even considering that they quickly depreciate, is much more valuable to the average person than most college degrees.
Considering that the guy you're replying to is named "theshowmecanuck," I imagine he was satirizing the tendency of the US to dictate a great deal of Canadian policy, and to regard everything south of its borders as Mordor.

I honestly expected them to get somebody from Rome named Peter on purpose. The cardinals really don't get marketing.
It remains significantly less difficult and expensive to grow food in warmer climates than in cold ones. I don't even get how desertification is supposed to be a problem; the arctic gets pushed further north, too. The temperate zone isn't going to disappear, it's going to move.
Born and raised American, never even visited Canada. I just have the brains and free time (due to disability) to take notice of what actually makes the world work.
Breeding is unnecessary for this solution. We already have a whole bunch of unemployed people, supposedly because there's not enough jobs for them, making the market very competitive and weighted towards capital.
The punchline: this is an actual solution and not a joke, as you are treating it. In America, an eight hour day is still considered standard, and most people who manage to keep their jobs put in a great deal more work than that. This is unhealthy and exploitative, and causes the usual behavior of employers of using up their employees and replacing them when no more can be squeezed. There are many people struggling in abject, desperate poverty because they are basically waiting in a very long line for a job they're qualified for, and that line only exists because employers insist on sticking with the current standard of full-time-and-then-some employment.
If we switched from a three-shift day to a four-shift day, many more people could be employed to do the same work for very close to the same cost. The people who had full-time jobs before this switch would get less money, but they would need less since they'd avoid many of the ridiculously overblown health care costs that Americans currently rack up due to their backward, punitive work ethic. Meanwhile, the newly-employed people would have enough to at least avoid homelessness.
Of course, this will never, ever, ever happen. Large corporations will scream bloody murder if we try to make it happen, because they know the real benefit here is that labor will no longer be so hungry and fearful. When we no longer feel that slavery is necessary to avoid poverty, we will not allow capital to abuse us. What's more, with a six-hour day, we'd have the time and energy to do something about it when they do. And that would be just terrible.
A warmer climate means more food, simpler shelters, and lower energy costs. (Or they would be, without air conditioning, which is a luxury in all but the hottest places.) Where it snows, everything is more expensive, so people have to work more than they would otherwise. From a labor perspective, global warming will bring about freedom from slavery.
Well, his administration transparently tells people to pound sand when they ask inconvenient questions. That's a little more honest than we usually get.

You're being retired because NOBODY ELSE IS STUPID ENOUGH TO WANT THAT.
It's almost like industry practices have made people so used to doing it this way that watching it on TV even when you can is way more effort.
High finance assholes see the rest of us as bacteria. Imagine that.

Here it is.

And here's what I said last time.
Let's see if I can get +5 just for linking to a comment that got +5.
I can disable the ads just fine. Did you shit up your karma?
They don't even have wifi on all of their trains yet. They need to do that before they worry about how good it is.
That sounds like an excellent way to get assassinated.

That is to say, absolutely none.
...Bitcoin is an MMO?
...I have to admit that was a pretty sick burn.
I just went into my roommate's room and double fistpounded because of this.
That only accounts for people with degrees who can actually get a job. This is currently very far from a sure thing. Do you not read the news?

Shut up, you ridiculous luddite.
You'd think God would at least know better than to rely on cloud services. I bet he didn't even read the EULA.
