"The level playing field for carbon neutrality is a sham designed to do nothing more than transfer wealth from first-world economies to third-world economies. In the process, all you really do is set a soft cap on carbon emissions without reducing actual dependence upon fossil fuels."
So? Where do you think the material basis for the wealth of the first world came from?
From coltan to copper, from rubber to rice, from bananas to coffee to mahogany to tea to gold and diamonds and silver - it comes from the third world. Simple fact. The periphery feeds the centre, and the centre pisses it away on conspicuous consumption. So, a wealth transfer from the first world to the third world IS CALLED REPARATIONS AND JUSTICE.
Programming isn't important. You "pay people to do that" - usually some minimal fee in the Philippines or Malaysia or India. The language to learn is chinese because this century belongs to them.
Basically, if the caps melt and your get 60m flooding, the tropical and temperate zones are unihabitable, not just from the heat, but the humidity and wet bulb issues. So, everyone will move north or to antarctica, and what are the two parts of the world missing? Antarctica and the arctic. nice. so basically, everywhere no one is goign to live we can see, but the areas we are goign to move to, we have no mapping. Brilliant.
here ya go:
Ch.1. Hitler is Cool.
Ch2. Kill the Jews
Ch3. Hitler is Cool.
Ch3. Germany is great.
Ch4. Hitler is Cool.
Ch5. Kill the Jews.

Mein Kampf was a terrible book by a monstrous asshole.
TFTFY
Your teacher was only half right. The holocausts of WW2 were not the most important part of it, but DOES make WW2 the pivotal moment of the 20th century (if not the entire modern period) was the emergence of the USA as a global empire, the use of atomic weapons, and the centralisation of petroleum as an energy source in industrial economies, which spawned the suburbs, possibly the single greatest misallocation of wealth in the history of the world.
Fine - let's make a movie about Afghanistanis defending their country against invading Nazis, and the Afghanis all speak Polish and Yiddish, and the Nazis all speak with American Accents and dress like Marines.
Right wing = inclined to violence, left wing = inclined to co-operation.
Hence, Lenin was a right wing communist, Rosa Luxemburg was left wing (Until her buddy Karl fucked up and kicked off the Spartacist Revolt, and forced her to join, resulting in the both of them being murdered by the German state, which was being run by the SPD)
Right v. left is very vague any more, but what I described above is one angle on it (and it's one I like.)
Who the fuck cares if it makes money - it's a STATE UNIVERSITY not a CORPORATION. It doesn't have to "make money". It has to Educate People. Eliminating the CS dept while boosting Football is embarrassingly retarded. You want to know why America is Collapsing? Bullshit like killing the CS dept while boosting Football is why the USA is Collapsing. It's being crushed by a massive case of the stupids and a malingering condition of ignorance complicated by fantastically poor judgement.
A hardware engineer with a PhD gets paid, entry, 100-110k on average.
A software engineer with MS get paid, entry, 100-100k on average.
So what? You make even more money doing easier work as some kind of reptilian on wall street, figuring out new ways to loot the American Treasury Department.
"Is it really a good idea for a company defined by good (and in this case, high-margin) hardware to sell it off in favor of nebulous consulting stuff? "
Ummmm, IBM will do what it can to increase profits and shareholder value. If that means getting out of ICT and into a string of hotels and vocational schools, then so be it. Oh, right. ITT already did that...
is that Apple and Facebook are platforms. He and his buddies fucked up Google by driving it at an app status. Now they're trying to play catch up with Android, but Android isn't strong enough to do that, and Google+ is a freakin hoax. Now Apple and Facebook are WINNING and Google is on the outside looking in.
Was NOT actually a slam on religion in specific. It's a quote from Marx, and if you dial in your handy dandy time machine you will notice that when he wrote that the ONLY massive pain killer (that really really worked) was opium. What he meant was that religion gives people a way to get through the misery of their existence. That it is a bunch of made up fairy tales is a big problem, but that's not the point - it IS the opiate of the masses. In today's terms you might think of it as the Demerol of the masses, or the Oxycontin of the masses. It is addictive and it does remove pain, in this case, existential grief and misery. So, is religion to be dispensed with? Yes, but only if the proletariat are possessed of their knowledge of class consciousness and are actively engaged with appropriating the means of production and are collectively determining the fruits of their surplus labour, i.e., they have substituted their belief in an imaginary friend with that of a belief in the the eschatology of class struggle.

I agree - for once MS did something almost right. 25GB for free is excellent. Personally I would like 1TB for free, but that'll come later...
exactly.
I can accept that.

In English, this means, CIO's aren't percieved as being at the same level of power mad greedy fuck headed douchebaggery as CEOs.
