French IT specialist complained about not being able to find jobs abroad. International companies we asked cited "a lack of knowledge of fundamental IT terms they even know in third world countries" as a reason.
Personally, I think it has more to do with Shiite and Sunnite Islam and a particular other country that just so happens to be the "leader" of the competing flavor of cool-aid that our politicians for some odd reason really love despite being the source of pretty much all terrorism in the past 30 years, but that's my pet theory.
Yes, let's be consistent about it. So what's your stance on childcare, school lunch, medical examinations for children and other aids for the mom?
Until you're born we'll fight for your life but after you ARE actually alive, you're on your own.
Face it, you're not pro life. You're anti-fucking. You want the woman to suffer from having "sinned", and you can't really say it that way because everyone would instantly consider it what it is: A bullshit reason. So it's the "sanctity of life". Bullshit. Life isn't sacred. Twice so if you believe in the invisible sky daddy who kills people according to his own advertising brochure left and right with impunity because he didn't like the cut of their jib or some other bullshit reason.
A-ha are currently touring, Depeche Mode still produces music and I think I heard something about Duran Duran also still touring. R.E.M. was until not that long ago active, Pet Shop Boys still exist and from time to time a new album is being made... just like with every decade, there are a few bands that "survive" the high time of the music they came up in. Some change and adapt to the new beats. Some don't and continue with the same kind of music, both with varying success.
Some quite memorable tracks have been made in the 80s. And a lot, a great lot of trash. Like in every decade. You only remember the good ones, the bad ones fade away and since only the good ones remain to be played on the radio, over time it seems that past music was better. It wasn't. It's just that only the good ones survive until today. You might notice that you get to hear very, very little Eurodance on those networks playing "the hits of the 90s". Because most of that stuff was forgettable fast-food trash, mass produced and without any lasting value.
Remember the 70s? When we were young? What were we bitching about them music, when fashion was more important than the sound created, remember Gary Glitter and Sweet? Holy fuck, how did they expect us to like that bullshit, just because he comes in in a suite made of rhinestones we'll forget that his song sounds like garbage? And don't get me started on Disco. So unlike the 50s when music was still music, that's when music really started, with old school rock'n roll, when you could REALLY dance to the music, not that disco garbage.
Remember the 80s? When we were young? What were we bitching about them music, this soul-less, absolutely anticlimactic, sterilized electro-pop... where did the real drums go? The ones they had in the 60s when music was still music, when musicians wrote meaningful lyrics and tried to express themselves with their music!
Remember the 90s? When we were young? What were we bitching about them music, this repetitive, always the same bullshit, all the bands sound the same, it's always the white chick that screams some words that double as singing and the black guy as the rapper, and ALL the bands work like this. And don't get me started on "Grunge", what kind of crap, where's the real rock bands of the 70s that defined metal, that created it all!
Remember the "zeros"? When we were young? What were we bitching about them music, when Techno wasn't really Techno anymore, just that clean-stripped, commercialized bullshit, that autotuned no-talents crooning to repetitive, computer generated music that never saw a single musician, so unlike the 80s when electronic music was new and when real talent was necessary to get a meaningful tone out of those instruments. Analog electric drumkits anyone? That was an artform!
The other difference is that your government is supposed to work for you, something a corporation only does if you're a shareholder.
If your government doesn't do that, get rid of it and get a new one. That's their job. That's what they're there for. If my employee doesn't do his job, I kick him out and hire someone who does.
Write an app that transmits your location when 911 is being called. Advertise it to people to install it on their phone for the times when they need it. Watch people not install it because they are afraid their government might track them, but they're more than happy to hand the very same information to Uber, Facebook and everyone else giving them... well, basically nothing.
If I was your government, I'd probably shit on you, too.
If the Iranian government cracks down hard enough, millions of people who are relatively peaceful right now just might decide they've had enough of being butchered.
If you want to look for crazy mullahs, you're looking at the wrong muslim state. Yes, the Iran is vocal and you get to hear a lot about their rhetoric, but if you're looking for funding for Islamist schools, Islamist mosques and yes, Islamist terrorists, you should be looking for the only country on this planet that still doesn't have a name and is basically called "The land of family Saud".
Funny how our politicians never seem to have any kind of problem with this particular country and how they even used whatever political influence necessary to stop investigations against this country whenever the trail to terrorist activities gets too hot to ignore anymore. No matter what side of the political fence they might be sitting on.
What the hell did you think would happen - the police would knock on the door politely, walk in calmly, and sit down for some milk and cookies?
Umm... yes, that's how you deal with hostage situations in most other parts of this planet. You knock at the door, you tell them to surrender and that there's someone here willing and able to talk to them if they want to so they could find a way out of the mess.
Remember, you're standing behind a bulletproof shield while saying that. Unless the guy inside has a bazooka, you can still afterwards go in and gun everything down in sight should he actually be dumb enough to open fire. Because then you also have EVERY justification to level the building and then some.
Where is the fun? I mean, if you burn down a house you at least get to watch it burn, but when you SWAT someone, you rarely get the chance to be there to see them beat the guy down.
Even if you ignore legality and all, it's not even FUN.
That's right, we don't bring war to the world, we wait for it to come to us. In the past 70 years, though, nobody bothered coming. And even back then nobody would have if we didn't find some idiot to start one.
Ah, so the "encryption will be worthless when quantum computers arrive" doesn't come from them being able to factor every number easily and with trivial time consumption but from them being inherently so insecure that you can't keep any private key private?
I don't eat, I get desperate. Whole countries have been overthrown by people who had nothing to eat and hence the choice of either starving to death or fighting for food.

Not sure what rock YOU've been under, but for the last thousand years religion has never been that fucking irrelevant.
Not true. Try, just TRY to kill a child process out here in meatland.
Lawyer says no...
Abstaining isn't 100% either.
There's always rape.
Last time I checked the ones that are so heavily against contraceptives aren't so hot on buttfucking or deepthroating either.
Religion and consistency, it just doesn't mix.

Oh, wait, I'm ahead of my time again.

This says way more about the quality of our school system...
Since most people use it as a glorified calculator anyway, there should certainly be some google-doc tool good enough to replace it.
Pfft. Wake me when there's Cryptocurrency Hentai.
Better that way. You buy bitcoins now for a few thousand bucks and in the end you'll probably not even get a nickle back.
It's a far-idiotic policy as far as I'm concerned. And I'm one of those pinko-commie Europeans.
How much oil does Tunisia export?
If the Iranian government cracks down hard enough, millions of people who are relatively peaceful right now just might decide they've had enough of being butchered.
Does the name Custer right a bell, by chance?
Custer? Why even move out of Iran, that is basically a one-line summary of what happened there in 1979.
