hmm. Star Trek. nice idea but it wont work.
consider current Australian policies.
you get $5000 baby bonus for having a kid. The smarttest and brightest people are uualy the career oriented hard working people who are likely to have 1 ir lucky 2 kids on average.
the unemployed on the dole yobos are breeding like rabbits 4-6 kids.
now we have a recent OPEN DOOR policy on imigration that brings in peolpe wh cant speak the lingo, wont get jobs and are going to stay on the dole and breed as per their Islamic tradition.

as you see the gene pool for high IQ mates is shrinking.
with enough generations of this the prerequisite for getting into Uni will be to spell your name right.

so culling the lazy and stupid should be a priority you would think :) or at least means test the baby bonus would do the same :)

hehe. Im Australian, I dont give a fk who is leading America. we have enough of our own retards politicians trying to bring in the Green policies in play. or should I say WATERMELON policies as they are all Green on outside and Communist RED on inside. they curently have minirity government but hold the 9 key votes of power in the Senate and we have had nothing but retarded policies eroding our rights.

the most recent try to erode even more right is soon to be discussed in parliament is the ability to "BE OFENDED" and make it ilegal.

so if you called me a dickhead i can take offence to that and sue you for offending my sensibilities.

so give me a break bro its not only you americans having problems with the communists within we have our own problems thank you very much.

a minor victory recently was when the government went and abused some Occupational Health and Safety laws on asbestos to shut down one of the biggest rifle ranges in Sydney, look up Malabar ANZAC rifle range and see the shitfight.
a million or so more on a legal fight and it turned out they lied and abused laws not intended to be used that way to breach contract agreements in place between 2 business entities. if the judge ruled on the government favour would have colapsed any business contract by setting a precedent where you can dodge contracts based on OH&S bullshit.

this would work if we only didit try so hard to babyproof the whole nation. stupid is what stupid does and eventually the really stupid ones get into the Darwin awards and help the clensing of the gene pool. But with stupid politicians at the helm trying to Politically correct the nanny state they are trying to create it kinda provides assylum fo all retards :)

we all know the best thorium veins are in the insect hives in Feralas and its a PITA to get them and compete with the other miners. I dont think the risk of making bombs is high because most people just bypass this zone and go for the endgame mats that sell better.

No one is ever in the caves mining thorium so there is no need to worry :) :)

Degree in CS or SE makes a good paper to wipe your bum with unless you have the experience to back it up or were lucky enough to gain a graduate placement.
No one will employ you without some experience so any graduate who graduated and never worked even part time in the industry they want to work in will find it hard to compete with all the other graduates who did part time work even if that was callcentre desktop support.

The name of the degree doesnt matter as all graduates would be lucky to be part of a development team straight after uni. Most end up in shitty jobs like desktop support callcentres to 'build up experience' for 2 years or so they can have the necessary experience to be part of a roper team.
Others end up maintaining code and fixing bugs. After few years they might get on the development team and by then the stuff they learned at uni is only general knowledge considering how quicky technology moves so they would likely be specialist in the stuff their company does but if they lost that job they would be once again behind the tech curve and would need to keep up.

At the end its all about what uni does what and how they approach and name things. The CS ones are ones with stronger ARTS framework and you end up doing alot of general stuff like Philosophy and Logic, alot of Electronics and hardware and heavy Statistics classes coupled with some crazy math you will rarely use as a programmer and if you had to use it likely it was already automated in someone elses library of functions or yo9u just google the formula and copy paste. :)
the SE unis are the ones with more industry contacts that do specific programming courses to get you ready for the job, they will likely have an internship with said 'sponsors' and you wont have to suffer through a 2 year help desk job to build up your experience.

if all else fails CS students should not be discouraged, they can come work with me in the warehouse as a labourer and load/unload containers all day. they 'good' computer skill will come handy with clerical paperwork and they will be a clerk for the rest of their carreer :) shit pay but at least you get undisturbed access to Slashdot :) :)

i think if you can prove that you are class A nerd who lives on the internet and if that was taken away from you you would not be able to attend the 7pm WoW raid and this will slump you into deep depression and you are also prone to suicidal taughts because you are going to miss out on that purple dagger you have been working to hope to drop over the last 3 months then YES IT SHOULD BE SELF DEFENCE.

every anti stealth detector ship should have an aviary full of seaguls and release them for detection.
just follow the seagulls and you will find the stealth ship. if you build it with chips they will come :) :)

we have done enough here. now its time to fk up Mars. irst we need to terraform it so we can ruin its atmosphere all over again.

What happened to working hard for a living? People want to DELEGATE EVRYTGHING these days.
Everyons i fat and lazy these days. We optimiseeverything to levels that allows us to have ample spare time.
We then KILL that spare time with endless hours of LoL, WoW, SC2, COD etc etc (insert your game poisoin here).
Then we spend some more money on gym to offset the obesity gained at work and gaming.

So if we spent more time working, less time at home we would be overall happier. Less time spent arguing with the wife and yelling after the kids.
Less time gaming is less time strestting out about raid strats, bis gear, who is not pulling weight and needs replaceing, screaming and slamming the keyboard against the monitor when some noob sniper APWs your ass and constantly griefs you with "no skillz".

so BE HAPPY = WORK HARDER :)

or come to Australia and do the same over a LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONG period of time :) same results but you may get to bang some chicks on your way there. Beach related Sun Suicide over 60 years is a great way to go. Just bring your surfboard :)

recently they found a way throug some quantum mumbo jumbo peek inside the box without peaking inside the box. so they will KNOW you are there by checking you arethere but not really checking you are there.

magical stuff in the works this quantum stuff. as if the rules were writen by a 3yo who wants to win withe every set of card hand dealth in anmy game. make your rules are it pleases.

Mistake or clever move, thin line when you consder the years after the war. It basically chalenged Stalin who was likely going to backstab Hitler anyway. I mean this dude persecuted his OWN population and you would think he was going to play nice with a german? come one.

Maybe I played way too much C&C RA over the years but its not unthinkable that Russia unchecked would have likely rolled over everybody given how no one had any proper military left after the germans had their way with them.

only in the initial phases of this. dont be fooled this wont be used to further goals. like traffic flow management.
once every car is jacked with these devices you can have a computerised traffic detection system that manages traffic lights or with the new Google self driven cars a automated way to go places.
Now what happens when you remove a transponder from a vehicle and the traffic system detects a gap in traffic and sugests you speed up. now pair that with a faulty front detection sensor in the car or 'deliberately' altered sensor and you have the computer trying to speed up to fill the 'gap' in traffic.

I would hate to be the thief if the gap filler was a big semi trailer fully loaded :) :) coming over me to optimise traffic flow :)

Shdowrun, The Grid, AR world. hmm good times good times coming to us. Hope the Magic Awakening is also on the cards. I want to be an magical elf shaman with a big A$$ dicoted katana and gyromounted minigun :) Yea good times

Actually given how powerfull the Greens are we have 3 major players here and in the last election a vote for the Labour Party whas a vote for the Greens because of how they gave away their preferences.

The best way to describe the lot is the Liberals a more swayed towards improving businesses oportunities and giving power to businesses with the hope they wont abuse their power and employ more people and hope once again this will keep a strong economy.

Labour on other hand is all about misapropriating whatever money is left in the coffers, Labour is heavily backed by the industrial Unions which is a fancy word for "do nothing get paid and if you dont get paid enough go on strike" secret handshake clubs only milking membership fees from members and providing fk all in return.

Greens are our pure socialist, they are also called Watermelons because they are green on the outside but commie red on the inside. Most of their high ranking members were high ranking members in the old Australian Communist Party, some of these (see senator Lee Rhianon in particular) have heavy links with the old USSR, KGB and the old communist block in russia. Our ASIO has files on their 'activism' days and meetings with old KGB agents in the past. Lee Rhianons mparents were all heavy into the old Australian Communist Party, in fact i would hazard a guess towards the end days of the ACP they decided to restructure it to a more modern appeal to attract young student 'activists' as the old communist party used to do with marxists ideals and such but now they went with the 'ENVIROMENTAL" and "ORGANIC" way to get supporters. So then the Greens Party was born, the hierarchy is much the same and unlikely the people have changed tehjir views but they are a strong presence in politics and with heavy balance of power in our Senate they can make any dirty deal with their Labour puppets and get it passed. They managed to give us the Carbon Tax didnit they.

At present the Labour Party is trying to distance itself in public while on the inside is supporting the Greens because communists and unions are usualy banded together its just now is not the time to tell people they are coming out of the woodwork because they havent managed to take away all the weapons in the hands of hunters and sporting shooters. The 1996 fiasco stealback was a start but they are now working on step 2 which is ratifying and implementing the junket UN Potocol on ammunition and small arms basically ruining the shooting sport and hunting in countries which implemets them. Once they can be assured the population is defenceless they might start implementing some of their more retarded ideas to brign us all back to serfdom
