You are trying to portrait this as something new in order to complain about youth. It isn't new and complaining about youth is documented since the start of written history. Face it - you have become a grouchy old man.
Flame doesn't produce matches because of entropy, reversal of time doesn't imply reversal of entropy. Then you construct an argument that you think (but not prove - which is the standard) is complicated and therefore think Occam's razor applies. But the razor is a rule of thumb and also doesn't prove anything.
You assume that there are no advantages to be member of the EU. Even for a "eurosceptic" that is a strange position to take.
The UK will have worse terms in the future, sure. But that's because their current EU terms were very good, partially because the UK is an important part of the European economy and having them as a member would be beneficial for the EU as a whole. But bending over backwards for someone that explicitly said they do not want to be part of the community is foolish. No punitive measures needed - just common sense.
I'm sorry if you took it personal in any way - it wasn't intended to be. I think the concept of nullification is a very powerful one however something that should _only_ be used against a fundamentally _wrong_ law. Otherwise it is a way to override the democratic process by nullifying law/laws the majority support but a select few (the jury) doesn't. That goes directly against the idea of the legal system and even (IMHO) the idea behind nullification.
Ever think that's because advocates of nullification are generally assholes that want to make trials to be about _them_ for egocentric reasons instead of the actual court case? Really, ranting about jury nullification is commonly associated with such far-out crap like sovereign citizens, tax denialism and other idiotic shit.
Preaching for something that exists for _extremely_ unusual circumstances for, like, every court case one doesn't like the result of is a good way to destroy this tool for the truly exceptional cases where it would be useful.

Again: then it isn't a inherent personal quality. IQ tests are used for situations where it is assumed that it is. See the problem? -- I do think intelligence can be improved and also that IQ tests aren't a good way to assess intelligence. There are other tests that take into account other things important to intelligence like the ability to communicate with others (a high IQ isn't useful if one can't understand a problem to be solved) etc.
I'd argue that's because the assumed baseline is pretty low. Inexperienced programmers using the wrong algorithm with the wrong implementation in the wrong kind of language running on the wrong kind of platform is relatively common.
Isn't it more interesting to ask how one measures intelligence? I for one don't trust IQ tests - seeing those more as a kind of measure of puzzle solving abilities, not problem solving ability.
One example (I have more) of what I mean is those transposing/rotating symbol puzzles where I see some kind of manipulation as the natural one and the puzzle constructor sees another one as the right one. My solution is simpler (less manipulation) but still "wrong". To get a high score i'd have to _learn_ how to "properly" solve the type of puzzle according to the constructor... Is this then a proper test? I think not.
Homosexuals are seen as pedophiles in Russia - and innocent people have been killed because the state doesn't really try to catch killers of homosexuals. Maybe you should look what "promoting sodomy" covers in this shithole, even pointing out that homosexuality is normal is enough to be harassed by police and state-protected neo nazi groups...
A long time ago it was thought that homosexuals wasn't born - they were created due to seduction by pedophiles. In Russia that is still seen as reality while all scientific research show that is idiotic bullshit. Homosexuality is natural in a huge range of animal species including man.
And your idea of sex change among small children is so fucking idiotic I'll not even respond to it.
Even ignoring all other limitations of this particular processor there's still Amdahl's law, limiting the speedup by the serial parts of a task. As one example how that works look at compiling to hardware. In theory this should bring enormous benefits as not only can one parallelize on a instruction level but on a sub-instruction one, speculating and pipelining e.g. additions. Many types of communication can be eliminated entirely by replicating hardware. But even with those benefits there are a _lot_ of software that is better to run on a standard processor. Why? Because using custom optimized hardware to run it ends up replicating a number of normal processors including caches, branch prediction etc. and then a processor optimized by a dedicated team of experienced people ends up being attractive.
Now saying custom hardware can't bring huge benefits, not even saying that this research processor can't do it _however_ in general there are a lot of tasks that can't really be accelerated much.
It is evident he did't believe it (given well documented development from MS supported by Gates) so any statement otherwise could only be a joke or an outright lie.
Here's some facts: MSDOS wasn't limited to 640kiB memory, some MSDOS systems shipped with much more memory and the OS had no problem supporting that. What was limited to 640kiB (actually not - but practically) was the early IBM PC systems and that was entirely due to design choices. So it was fully compatible IBM PC clones that had a limitation, not MSDOS. The memory limitation of MSDOS without extenders on 80386 and later is 1Mi+64ki-16 bytes (due to the overlapped segment:offset design of the original 8086).
But the target for most MSDOS compatible software was 640kB, due again to the design choices of IBM. IF Bill Gates ever said that it would logically be as a target specification for MS software... But the claims he did aren't credible and illogical.
Really? "I feel like shooting something"? If you do then fucking _type_it_ instead of inserting a graphical symbol no one knows what it is supposed to represent and may look strange on the recipient(s) machine(s).
So when should we expect the "I stubbed my toe and want to comfort myself with chocolate ice-cream with opium topping to be washed down with vodka" emoji to appear?
Yes and the problem (theoretically) applies even to assembly code on a bare-bone system without an OS. It's actually worse than that for many systems as many have embedded control processors for power control, supporting secure boot etc.
Which is why the idea of open-source hardware is attractive even if it in itself doesn't plug all potential security holes...

DDT does have _serious_ short term side effects. Other pesticides are used against malaria mosquitoes, today.
Starvation is in most cases a problem of distribution and intentional denial of food to certain groups for political reasons.

Did you read the post before replying with something irrelevant?
The same "interesting" transfer that already occurs naturally? Yeah, real scary.
LOL! Nothing to do with political leftism. Idiot.

So what you are really saying is that laws shouldn't exist and only a jury should decide if something is a crime or not?
That's lynch mob justice.
I thought that was a popular meme around here?

You are wrong. To prove otherwise please upload your custom Intel microcode update.

Because then it doesn't measure an inherent personal quality but the level of education? That would make the idea of a IQ scale pretty damn useless...
Aren't we all special snowflakes?

MSDOS actually have no date problem before 1980+127=2107, almost a hundred years in the future. IIRC but I'm pretty sure I do.
