That's why Dublin is one of the top party destinations for the Brits is it? Its complete bollocks. Any sensible Brit has no problem with the Irish. Most of us are mongrels anyway and many have Irish blood.

They're intelligent. My sister was coding at 5!

You're correct in using "Religion" here. Compared to "Faith". Just like the Catholic Church and other batshit christian religions there's a lot of stuff layered on top of pure Islam. A lot of the problems are to do with that shit and not the base faith.

And plenty of Muslims loath GIs after America has invaded their sovereign territory and massacred them. It goes both ways.

Not that I'm saying you don't know this but most of the people who did protest about "Life of Brian" had never seen it. If they had they'd have seen that is not about Jesus or the birth of Christianity. It just happens to take place during the same era. Jesus is obviously there, both in the manger and at the sermon on the mount. The film is a dig at organised religion and infighting. "Follow the gourd!". "Follow the shoe!".

Ironically exactly what is going on here. Islam, Christianity and Judaism are all Abrahemic religions and they split when they picked which son to follow. Islam went with one and Judao/Christian mythology the other.

Google and Facebook already do. They are inconsistent.

Is that if you're incompetent you're incompetent regardless of the equipment! I've seen five year old kids doing what those teachers failed to do!

What *you* have to realise that apart from the 77 bombings which were reasonably effective they were all pretty pitiful. The IRA terrorists really knew how to do terrorism.

But even those were nothing. You have to remember that our grandparents and parents lived through this. Nothing since has been comparable in anyway.

The whole point of terrorism is to instil terror. *NOT* to kill people. That's a side effect. While you react to them they're winning. So don't react. As Ben Franklin said, "Those who would give up Essential Liberty to purchase a little Temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety"

Could be worse. Could believe in mythical sky fairies. So the health minister is misguided but so many politicians all over the world base their decisions on their imaginary friend. I'm not sure what's more scary!

So if pain is psychological does this mean paracetamol and codeine phosphate are just placebos?

The one thing the PI isn't is embedded. Nothing that has the graphics capability of the PI is truly embedded unless it has its own canned screen. The Pi may be a little behind the curve power wise but its still a computer. Hell the first machine I ran linux on was my 30Mhz Acorn RISC PC in the mid 90s. The PI is blindingly quick in comparison. Just don't run bloaty code.

Assuming you *have* a desktop! Thing is you can plug it in to your TV and you need a tenner's worth a cheap peripherals to drive it.

Also I'd like to see you playing about with basic hardware IO on your desktop. Where do you get the GPIOs for a start?

Er yes :-D

I've written several extensions to RISC OS (Acorn's 32 bit OS for ARM machines) in assembler since that's what most of the OS was written in.

Apart from cost, power requirement, size, etc. etc. Also ARM is a far better processor to learn this kind of thing on. Being RISC ARM assembler is incredibly elegant.

You're not being retro enough. It has a composite out! I had CRT monitors that worked with composite feeds.
