"f you think there are plenty of opportunities then you have no clue what's happening on the ground"
I have plenty of a clue thanks. There is work out there if people want to do it. Where do you think the jobs to keep the polish and other recent immigrants employed came from? Did Harry Potter way his magic wand?
"Did I mention that my son is severely dyslexic"
That didn't stop Richard Branson nor plenty of other well known business and scientific people.
Christ , you're beyond dumb if you seriously believe any of that sub-undergraduate level sociology drivel you just posted. You should get a job with Liberty or the Howard League, you'd be perfect.
Yup , 500,000 polish came over here and most of them got jobs that the chavs are too lazy to take.
Sorry, there are plenty of opportunities but its far easier for some members of society to sit on welfare and whinge. And when they bored whining because everyone got fed up with listening, they cause trouble.
The fact that you got modded down for that shows the child like mentality of the moderators on here. Teenagers don't get irony and of course they're never to blame either - its always someone else fault.
People like you have been excusing this behaviour for years blaming it on social ills and lack of this that or the other. Bollocks! Most if not all of the rioters have far more material wealth than a number of east european states yet you don't find mass rioting there. The problem is lazy feckless children brought up by lazy feckless parents with a liberal education system that doesnt' teach them any discipline or respect. And no , teachers shouldn't have the "earn" respect from a teenager, they should be given it automatically.
"Unfortunately, in any class struggle"
Oh grow up student boy and smell the coffee of reality. Class has nothing to do with it - most of the properties looted and burnt were owned and run by working class people. If there was any class in volved it was the workshy violent underclass.
In any other country a lot of those rioters would have been shot dead already , its only in namby pamby liberal britain run by hand wringing excuse everything muppets like you where we let them burn the place down.
So was CB Radio back in the day. Perhaps that should have been a human right too?
Idiots who claim the internet should be a human right clearly have no idea about real human rights and where and how they're being abused or they wouldn't trivialise them int his way. A human right is not having your water polluted by industrial conglomerates or your land stolen by a corrupt government, its not about some middle class western kid being able to twitter BS to his friends.
... you're some basement dwelling teenage virgin whose "friends" are other similar losers that he's never met IRL. Which , lets face it, is the demographic that makes up the self righteous bunch of script kiddies that call themselves anonymous, lulzsec or whatever self agrandising name they've thought up this week.
For your average tax paying adult the fact that government contracts out services is neither news nor shocking. Next...
I wouldn't give you jack for them. Can I pay my utility bills with them? No. Can I may my mortgage with them? No. Can I go into most shops or online stores and buy stuff with them? No.
They're nothing more than a financial toy for people to play around with and waste energy on GPU calculations which they justify by reeling off a list of websites no one has heard of where you can buy useless crap with them.
... to increasingly hold the general public in disdain. I'm not sure where this attitude is coming from , perhaps the law profession is attracting the wrong type of person or the wrong sort is being promoted to the judiciary by like minded misfits of a similar persuation already entrenched there, but its a worrying precedant either way.
Thats what I always do - perhaps I'm paranoid but it only takes a few seconds and it resolves all of these sorts of issues along with malware checking you out. But then I don't use skype or do webchats , perhaps for someone who did it would be a nuisance but if not I recommend everyone to do it.
..but not necessarily better at picking up new skills or techniques (I speak as someone in his 40s). So its a trade off. Yes , if you want a C++/Java/Cobol expert who knows the language inside out to work on a huge system for years then someone older is probably better , but if you're a start up who wants someone who'll quickly pick up new stuff and can shift gears in no time as your company grows and morphs then you really want someone in their 20s.
32 to 64 bit makes virtually zero performance difference to 99.9999% of applications. People forget that CPUs have 2 main buses - the address bus and data bus. The data bus has essentially been 64 bit for years on "32" bit intel cpus. Upping the address bus to 64 bit and increasing standard ALU integer registers to 64 bit (the floating point registers have also been 64 bit for years) will only benefit applications that require huge amounts of memory and/or ones that required large integers. Eg DMBS. For most desktop apps it'll frankly make fsck all difference.
I'm sure plenty of us have gone out with someone who we initially thought was ok but not amazing but eventually got to really like them. And it certainly wasn't because their personality or looks had undergone some radical overhaul in that time.

If you're old enough to have done all that then you're old enough not to use silly kid words like "grok" and "EVAR".
From a 20 something its cool, from a 30 or 40 something its just plain sad.
"CB Radio limited your message to a few dozen weirdos."
You think people who spend all day on farcebook or twitter are normal??
"The internet is special"
No it isn't.
"massive and two-way."
So was CB Radio back in the day. Perhaps that should have been a human right too?

What about a radio or TV?
So whats so special about the internet?
Crawl out of your basement and get in touch with the real world pal.
Why should we pay for your free wifi? If you need the internet that bad go to a cybercafe. Do you expect free phone calls too?
I'm sorry , but to all of what you posted - yeah and what?
Christ you must be naive if you think any of this is news sonny.

At least theres a vague basis of a story there and the sound effects would rock. :o)
What, like Green Lantern?
Its about time Hollywood came up with something original instead of digging ever deeper into the list of 2nd rate comic book "heroes"?
Good luck going into a Bureau de Change and coming away with something for your bitcoins.

"Actually, if you think about, an independent judicial system is supposed to hold the general public in disdain"
Nonsense. A judicial system should be impartial and evidence based, nothing more. There should be no emotional bias one way or the other.
... to increasingly hold the general public in disdain. I'm not sure where this attitude is coming from , perhaps the law profession is attracting the wrong type of person or the wrong sort is being promoted to the judiciary by like minded misfits of a similar persuation already entrenched there, but its a worrying precedant either way.
especially at 70mph. It its typical light aircraft construction it'll come off worse in a collision with a rickshaw, never mind a 2 ton 4x4.

"Limits of 32 bits are annoying. For example, gcc-4.6 can partition flto compilation but it still needs to load everything into the memory"
Wtf are you compiling that you need more than 4GB of virtual memory? The whole of Windows 7?? Sounds like you're BSing to me.
