    Trump has an Economics degree

    And from his very own university, too. Not many can claim that.

    You're assuming he's speaking English. He's speaking Hipsterish.

    It's a perfectly valid question. I was going to post this (or rather the broader question of changing the whole system) as a poll about a week before the election, but got distracted by real life, specifically various kids with Delhi belly.

    Whatever you do, avoid PR. Belgium has it, Italy has it. And they're shite.

    the DNC was so hell-bent on making sure that Hillary was the nominee that they forgot to nominate someone who was capable of beating the most disliked candidate in the history of presidential polling.

    Hmm, shouldn't that be second most disliked candidate?

    Which was a brilliant move by Louis whatever. One, the intellectual idea of republicanism gained ground. Two, it fucked up the French economy.

    If it happened today, heads would roll.

    Based on HP and Yahoo it's probably too many.

    Still it's all moot, it'd constitute a biological weapon under the Geneva Convention.

  16. According to the telly earlier, some schools are implementing BYOD which does blur the issue a little. Unless they remove it at 3:30 and reinstall it at 9:00 the next day.

    But really, if the schools didn't do this and one of the pupils was caught with jihadist donkey porn there'd be a shitstorm of complaints, and it'd be 90% the same people.

  17. Most social media is basically an eTabloid. People should trust it about as much as they would a paper one.

    Reminds me of a joke (might have been from Bill Maher) that went along the lines of: The drug cartels made about 20 billion in profit last year. We spent 30 billion on the war on drugs. Why don't we offer them 25 billion to just sit on their butts?

    An intranet solution would've been cool, though.

    I suppose that's batter than bloody freezing.

  20. And GMT exists for one reason: the British were the first to have a very good method of longitude determination by celestial navigation, and you had to have a standard time reference.

    At the time the only other world power was France, and Nelson kicked their asses, twice.

    Otherwise, it'd be a line through some landmark in Paris.

    I strictly reserve it for things that don't work in Firefox. BTW, if anyone knows how you can directly open a link in Chrome from Firefox I'd be very interested to hear it. By directly I mean not copy-pasting the url.

    That's because if they taught recursive writing they'd have to teach recursive writing.
