    WTF?

    the guy is arrested for TRESSPASSING, "the owners want you gone, if you don't go, that's trespassing, if you haven't done anything wrong talk to the owners or call a lawyer after you have left the premises." could avoid the scuffle that you so clearly enjoyed.

    instead you antagonized the situation by downplaying the legal rights of the owner and up-playing your authority.

    I've seen thousands charged with resisting arrest in my country, and more often than not, the courts dismiss the charges.

    People don't and won't ever like to involuntarily give up their own safety and ability to protect themselves and put complete trust into an absolute stranger who (as been proven) have almost 0 recourse for unlawful action unless caught on tape. It's reasonable to expect that a reasonable person may fight this on a purely instinctual level.

    Seems to me that hackers need a lobbying group. Work within the system, I mean, it's totally corrupt anyhow, take advantage of that. Nobody on wall street ever got arrested for stealing trillions of dollars, and that's because they greased the right palms. Hackers seem to be *too* moral, which is why they get busted.

    hacking is virtually free. lobbying requires money and a lot of it.

    You could say the same about the riots in Egypt?

    just because you don't think their message is significant (information wants to be free, internet is for lulz, corruption is bad) doesn't give you the authority to define their actions as non-political, hell, you could successfully argue that the KKK were a political movement.

    i think you're just over-simplifying what politics IS.

    well. "non whites" are a large group there, are you just angry at the people with recent African decent? the reason why Africa is mostly a shit-fest has mostly to do with religion and corruption, and being white doesn't protect you from either. (in fact western countries have a tendency to encourage and support corruption). So before you think its due to you're race that you're country has made any significant contributions to humanity, you're race is also attributed with the worst acts of genocide and destruction too.

    we are the way we are because of 1 thing.. money. any other difference is superficial at best. give blacks money and they create things like Dubai & the great pyramids. Take money away from whites and you get things like Argentina.

    tl;dr
    it work both ways and your bigotry is offensive.

    IMO you've over simplified the problems and flexibility required for a startup.

    it involves a lot more than learning a new programming language... Flexibility with language, methodology, process, most of which being an experienced programmer is an asset.

    The only issue i can for-see is the "that won't work" approach or "this way is much better or more maintainable but will take significantly longer". which is great for an established company, but you really want a guy who thinks anything is possible as part of your team and willing to work towards impossible goals, also an aged programmer won't support an idea they don't think will work & productivity and quality fall with that. where as a younger programmer is more likely to use an impossible project to "show off" precisely because its hard.

    obviously I'm just speaking out of my arse though,

    As a relatively young programmer (2 years in the industry) with no "official" training (i learned my skills after school trying to write games etc in basic.... on a piece of paper because i didn't have a computer at home.). i see "copy / pasted" code as mostly evil. however every time we get a consultant to help out with the projects (who is also young, but went to collage) all functions get copy/pasted with minor changes instead of modified.

    so which is better? the copy/paste method is useful for rapid changes for instance specific examples (seems to occur a lot at work :/) but i can't help but feel this could be addressed with better thought out methods (or, you know, much more informative specifications for the work we are about to do.. but lets be realistic here). but then again, a well thought out method takes longer, and may not be as easy for "quick fixes" to be rolled out.

    What we really need to do, is come up with a fueling station that just requires water & solar (or nuclear) energy,

    input water, use the electricity to split it up into hydrogen and oxygen, compress and cool (using more energy). = conventional rocket fuel.

    id say nuclear power would produce a better fueling station because of the energy density, but that requires replacing the nuclear fuel, and i don't think the government likes the idea of any country rocketing fission material above everyone's heads. but if we could master this, global long distance transport would be just a matter of finding available water.
