I dated a girl, a long time ago, who was taught to spell phonetically. She wasn't an idiot. In general, I try to avoid making shallow judgements lest I look like an idiot myself.
That was funny, and I understand your point. People in general hugely have a hugely oversimplified understanding of evolution. I say we should take such people, put them on small, isolated islands, allow them to breed solely within those populations for the next few hundred generations. Finally, we should merge the resultant offspring populations, producing a leaner and fitter genome for epic win.
We've been doing it or 2,000 years, and it seems to have worked out ok. I don't mind changing the system, but first you have to convince me that your changes won't make things worse.
You remember the huge economic surge which occurred when the Industrial Revolution really kicked off? Coincident with programmes to extend education to the masses?
C isn't that modern any more. And, I found Python to be pretty trivial to learn. The list handling and functional programming features are sweet, and overall the language is easy to read, easy to write and powerful. It isn't perfect, but it's nice.

Absolutely. The authority structure is a part of the support mechanism for the self-centered cunts at the top, courtesy of the deluded cunts who believe in them.

You're just *wrong*. You need to understand how antivirus packages work, and then *think* about what they don't and can't do...
I like the way you think...
How *big* a chunk, out of the set of all contributors?
I *liked* Olive from On The Buses. Get off my lawn.
So, how much shit do you plan for? Accident? Disease? Change of Government? War? Asteroid strikes?
How old is the oldest set of actuarial tables? Are they still relevant in modern times?
Just wondering.

Fixed that for you.

G.day!

I think you mean *not* using fire. And, I agree with you.
So, what's your plan, and when are you going to implement it?
You mean they *won't*?
Hooray!

Me too.
But, giving them scissors and *then* suggesting they run with them? It just complicates the process.
