"Sensibility refers to an acute perception of or responsiveness toward something, such as the emotions of another. This concept emerged in eighteenth-century Britain, and was closely associated with studies of sense perception as the means through which knowledge is gathered. It also became associated with sentimental moral philosophy." - Wikipedia.

If that were true then outsourcing to India would have done that a long time ago.

The only losers to mass immigration and outsourcing are the citizens (obviously) and the government (less taxes).

The SOLE reason arseholes like Zuckerberk want to relax immigration controls is to keep wages low.

• Destroyed much of Britain's industry, just to remove her opponents' power base.
• Politicised the police and used them to enforce her party politics: so much so that even today the Conservatives are so politically indebted to the police that they won't reform them.
• She took Britain into a war over some meaningless rocks in the South Atlantic in order to divert attention from her unpopularity and an imminent kicking in the polls.
• She destroyed our national rail network- selling it in parts to foreign companies that take truly enormous subsidies (far bigger than the old British Rail ever received) and ship their dubiously earned profits overseas (and certainly never actually invest it back!)- solely because she personally disliked travelling by rail.
• She sold off national assets and used North Sea oil revenues to fund tax cuts for the rich.
• She set the stage for that even bigger scum bag and her acolyte, Tony Blair: possibly the most personally corrupt prime minister this country has ever had.

Care to provide evidence for your claim? I've bought many books from Amazon, not one of them contains an advert.

I think you need to check the sewers under your house, I expect you'll find grammar nazis, the syntax police and the spelling fairy down there arguing over who gets to tear you a new one first ;)

But at least he didn't start any of his sentences with a conjunction. :)

What's dotslash?

Only in your fantasy parallel universe.

The vast majority of the population of South America are Spanish and Portugese. In other words they*are* the colonists.

US + UK + Europe, who have always backed the EU nations against South American ones, would stomp all over South America in any kind of conflict, trade, diplomatic or even outright war.

South America is a hodge-podge of second and third world pseudo-democracies highly dependent upon the first world.

England didn't import slaves either -in fact we were the first to oppose the trade. And yet we're rapidly, and with the collusion of successive Governments, turning into a mongrel nation of no culture.

Four big differences between SC and SC2:

1. DRM. You won't be able to play SC when Blizz goes bust.
2. You can't be banned from playing SC.
3. SC has LAN play.
4. SC was innovative, SC2 is just SC with a pretty face.

SC will still be played when SC2 is dead and forgotten.

First, they play SC, they are not athletes.

Second, retired professional athletes like Bolt will have made a lot of money and will be able to retire. Even if they hadn't they would make money from endorsements, they could become coaches etc.

Who the hell would be stupid enough to want a celebrity endorsement from some wide-as-he-is-tall SC addict who can't find the time to wash? Who would pay (or be able to stand being in the same room as) such a person?

I like my Apple kit and their packaging, but this has got to be a new low for Slashdot.

Sack Timothy and the average quality of the posts on /. would double overnight.

I'll put a tenner into the pot to pay the bribes necessary to get him sacked; clearly bribes are required or would be long gone.
