Teenagers may question authority but they have jack shit life experience so their questioning is usually naive, shallow, self centred and to most of the population over 20 - utterly irrelevant. So I'm afraid no one is interested in what they have to say because its the same old tedious tune played by every generation at that age. When they get older and have spent some time in the real world THEN they might have something of interest to say wrt the status quo.
Questioning the authority of a ruthless dictator is one thing , questioning the authority of a teacher because he shouted at you because you were late for class or you couldn't be bothered to do your homework is petty, juvenile and achieves nothing other than the laughter of adults who've seen and heard it all before.
And I bet you think their "customers" are the kids , right?
Wrong!
The "customers" are the parents just as they would be if they hired a private tutor. Kinds just do what you're bloody well told and shut TF up. If they don't like school thats just too damn bad. No one cares.
Newsflash little kid - teachers get paid regardless of whether snotty little shits like you turn up to class or not. They also get paid to shout at your if you're late. If you seriously think they *actually* give a sh1t then you're even more deluded than the average teenager and thats a pretty high bar.
Listen stroppy little boy, you're the one boasting about what an incredible coder your are so post a damn link. I'm not interested in what your little pals have to say , I want to see the code itself.
I suspect however - as they say in Texas - you're all hat and no cattle.
... they and Shuttleworth disappeared up their own backsides in a blinding flash of self importance and inability to listen to users (Unity - the OSS version of Windows 8 Metro, need I say more). I'm afraid their We Know Best doesn't tend to adhere them to many people and I suspect they've now peaked in terms of their importance in the free software world and will slowly fade away as the years go by.
Eat what words? Did you even read what I wrote or are you on drugs? No wonder you post A/C - you probably can't understand the instructions how to create an account.
Either its the BEGINning of a new era in GPUs , or its called Pascal because its actually French and will go on strike the minute its asked to render a game more complex than Flappy Bird.
Wish I had mod points. In seems to be a badge of honour for some coders to make their code as obfuscated as possible. I'm not sure who they're trying to impress but it sure as hell isn't the poor maintenance coders a few years down the line.
IMO elegance comes with simplicity and duffs device actually makes the simple fairly complex, at least from a syntactic point of view. Mind you, compared to the unintelligable contorted rubbish calling itself C++ that I've had to debug over the years its a masterclass in clarity. Anyone who suggests building a framework for any project that is going to take less than a week should be shot on the spot.
Seems to me they're trying to claim royalties on any method of downloading an audio file. Which is utterly absurd. Doesn't bother me , I'm not american , but there's something seriously fecked up with US law that it allows this kind of nonsense.
"Huh, if only... Unless you mean smart-typewriter-level functionality."
You're joking , right? Were you born then or something? I managed to right a dissertation on MacWrite back in 93 without ever once thinking it needed more functionality.
I hate to break the news to you , but holding an amateur radio license doesn't mean you can transmit whatever you please on the amateur bands. Digital transmissions are severely restricted in a number of countries and in most places if someone tried out some home brew modulation technique they'd soon find themselves without a license or a rig. You *might* be able to get away with it on the CB bands since they're virtually dead in most places now and no one really cares about them, but even then , you wouldn't be able to use it day to day as you'd get caught eventually if you did. Aside from that , 27Mhz is too low frequency for decent data rates anyway.
So is air and water, but you can't just pollute them as you see fit. Rules exist for everyones benefit, they're not there just to piss you off personally. Get over it.
Try measuring smaller and smaller lengths until you hit the limit of the computers precision. Then you either can't subdivide any further or things start to get all fuzzy as rounding errors creep in.
Hold on, where have I heard of something like that in physics already....
Oh great "its a process"! Well thats ok then. Obviously pointless killing for sport is entirely justified if you can draw up some action points and create a flowchart in powerpoint!
I have no problem with hunting if its to eat. When was the last time thought "Mmmm, how about boiled bear for dinner?". Most hunters kill for the sake of it. They're just borderline psychopaths and would probably kill a human for a laugh if they could get away with it.
Right, because obviously some inbred inadequate halfwit blowing out the brains of some forest animal minding its own business is an identical situation to the police trying to catch a criminal.
How is shooting something from hundreds of feet away with a high powered rifle any kind of sport? And now drones? FFS , why not just nuke the whole fucking forest then Billy Bob Smalldick can claim he's killed everything and act the hero to all the toothless hags that inhabit the trailers in the area!

"the kids I grew up with would burn that fucker to the ground."
I'm guessing most of the kids you grew up with are probably in prison now for other things.

*yawn* Must be teenage cliche week.

"I can literally SHOW something decent I've done that works (great too"
Go on then , post a link to your code.
"gaining undeniably greater speed, security, reliability"
Whatever. No one cares you Aspergers idiot. Obviously you can't even spot a joke when its fucking signposted. Sad.

For you and all the other clueless idiots out there who didn't get it - Pascal is a French name , the language was named after Blaise Pascal FFS.

Not.
For a truly fair fight it would be no weapons at all. Then lets see how tough these rednecks are when they try and wrestle an 800lb bear.
