What an ignorant statement. So if someones disagrees with you, they are illogical? What a cop out. The issue is a lot more complex than this. There are good reasons for this, and bad reasons (sure, mainly bad, but it is ignorant to pretend that there is only bad).
Europe has its own problems. Do you know that in Germany you have to tell the government where you live. If you move, you have 2 weeks to tell them where you are now living.
In the UK, all foreign nationals have to have an ID card that they need to carry at all times.
In Sweden, you could only buy alcohol from Government shop, and they limited how much you could but, until recently. Now, you can only get the real stuff (not-lite beer) from Gov shops.
Computers are funny from a marketing standpoint. They are purchased by people that don't know anything about them. Sold by people that don't know much about them and supported by people that don't even speak the same language. (often literally).
Do you really think that is different to most things out there? TVs, Fridges, Cars, Phones.
Just remember, he had multiple degrees in Education - this is almost required to be an ignorant fool. Multiple degrees in disciplines that actually involve work should not be so easily looked down upon.
A Computer Teacher does not mean a computer expert, someone who is computer literate, or even someone who likes computers. Depending on the size of your school, your computer teacher could also be your PE teacher.
Is that an excuse for this behavior, absolutely not.
Yes, but they don't go around confiscating discs, and writing strongly worded letters. This sounds like it actually came from Steve can-i-have-that-chair-for-a-minute Ballmer.
Is anyone else reminded of the religous teacher confiscating a biology book from a student, and writing a letter to their pro-evolution parents?
A big thing the second world war did for the US, was decrease the importance of Britain, and forced Britain to sell a lot of its US assets, including large amounts of land, to help fund the war. It swapped it US assets for arms manufactured in the US, and put the nails in the coffin for UK as a super power. It left Britain poor for many years, as well as the rest of Europe. The only two countries that did really well out the war were Germany and Japan, who had a lot of money spent on the them to rebuild- the Marshall plan.
Yes, not everybody can switch, but there are plenty of people in big cities who can. If just some of these people switch, it will make a huge dent in the telcos profits, and they will suddenly care.
You do realise that the whole world is not about you?
Yes, you said that people care more about what mp3 player he has than his policies, when there is no evidence of that at all. Just because one story pops up about that, apparently people no longer care about anything else, according to your enlightened ideas.
And how dare I talk about something that wasn't in your post. Clearly only stuff that you mention should be included.
It is not exclusive. Most people can concern themselves with more than one matter at a time, an amazing feat, I realise.
The funny thing is that I see loads of stories here that nobody care about, and they get no comments. Then there is the odd story that bring out the people who feel the need to inform everyone of how little they care about the story, by actually posting on it.
It is like the people who don't care about something, but really feel the need to make you understand that they don't care about it.
No. Something that is 10 pages in Ms Office can be 8.5 pages on the exact same machine under a different printer driver. Selecting a different printer can have a huge affect on a MS word doc. Try it out, load a doc, change the printer, then quite the doc. It will ask if you want to save the changes.
Look I have a Mac OS virus right here. I will send it to you. Please double click, clikc past the internet warning, drag to application folder, enter your password, and then run it. See, anyone could get infected.
What an idiotic statement. So every 4 years, we get to vote one way or the other, and that way we will have control? You realise we don't live in a democracy, a democracy means we all get to make the decision.
If we we disagree with one policy, we need to make this known. If enough people disagree, then the will of the people should be followed.
No! If you are an expert, sure it makes no difference. But the road is full on incompetent drivers, who are an unlucky event away from killing someone. Increasing the speed for these people makes it more likely they will have an accident, and more likely they will kill someone.
It is funny how drivers magically forget about all the morons on the road when they aren't behind the wheel. Most people loudly acknowledge them when they see them.
What a stupid statement. So you are saying that Apple can't produce enough machines, in a very roundabout way. You must like the sound of their own voice.
So they start ramping up production, and producing more machine. Have you never heard of this before? Do you think there is some reason Apple can't do this, but 1000s of companies out there can? Is there some magic formula they are missing?

Yes, that is why I won't buy DVD (together with the enforced warning messages).
It helps that there hasn't been much good out lately.

Ever heard of privatisation? This is all about reducing the power of Government.
And WTF does this rant have to do with copyright laws? This doesn't make the gov bigger or smaller.
Websites that are censored by the Government, where the bloody hell are ya?

That is just 3 countries that I know off.

Apple has loads of money, not on a Microsoft standard, but more than Dell.
Dell market cap of 30b
Apple market cap of 87b, with loads in the bank.
Microsoft about twice as big as Apple.
Comparing Apple and Dell is ignorant and wrong.

Then again, this kid could have been a prick, and commonly caused disruption by treading the fine line between reasonable and idiocy.

I am amazed at that.

No matter what language you choose, it all ends up as assembly language. If you want to do debugging, you will have to learn it anyway.
Yeah, or until they get really pissed of at something. Or they have a really stressful time and lose it a little. Then its time to get scared.

Bullshit. Sure, it makes you feel better spouting lies like a christian, but that doesn't make it true.
