thought it bug's me to say

Google is synonyms with search so much so "to google" "google it" means to search for something.

Did they try to buy .google ?

M Thatcher?

She was rather draconian and took a sledge hammer approach to most things.

I think see was more likely Iron mans grandmother though, being the Iron lady and everything.

The drop out rate

Do the stats point at how many people started and how many graduated?

First hand experience tells me having studied a technical BSc that between 30-50% drop out in the first year or take an easier course. The second years was the same as the 1st in regards to difficulty, followed by the 3rd year which really turns up the heat and a dissertation that killed the last of the dreamers.

Of 60+ people who started my course 23 graduated with only 6 of us getting a 2.1 or higher.

The graduation consisted of the IT, Maths and Physics departments as our numbers where so low, compared to Social studies and History that had 200-300 people graduate each.

Uni for many people is a piss up and excuse not to start work in a call center for another 3 years

Re: Why one country ?

There is this thing I like to call the Onion ring of human selfishness.

It starts off with oneself then moves to direct family, in direct family/friends, local area, region, country and finally continent.

People or things in the same layer or closer to the center take precedence over outer layers.

It's why and Englishman who support Man U and another Englishman who Man City hate each other, but when supporting England against another country are the best of friends. Or would support a European team over and Asian or US team.

Its human nature to protect oneself and then progress outward.

Re: Death

In other research conducted : its is found that almost all living things have a 100% mortality rate!

the exception are: Jelly fish and some weird worm thing which have been found to be biologically immortal.

In other research jumping off cliffs has a high % of causing death especially cliffs with no water below

Re: Facepalm...

1. No you don't. I certainly don't anyway. When I'm stuck behind 1000 cars, people are walking past me. I'm completely stationary for long periods. Clearly I'm using more fuel, for parts of that I'm doing zero miles per gallon. And that's not counting the other 999 cars also spewing stuff out.

There is this little thing called "Stop-Start" just thought I'd let you all know :)

Re: El Presidente

The main thing everyone is forgetting is 50% of the population find logic and mathematics difficult to impossible (the foundations of programming). I would not like to say teaching from an early age wouldn't improve this but teaching can only go so far. Intelligence across the population is not uniform and until we raise the base line from moron, 50% or more of the population will simply not grasp what is beeing taught no matter how long or how good the teaching manics employed are or the tools used.

Lets face it the UK as a whole is full of Paris'

its pretty easy

if you play for more than 7.5 hours a day your addicted. I get payed to work for 7.5hr and cant wait for it to end.

Also if you physically look ill, that probably a good indicator as well.

its like a stream and all relative

If you look at your hand (or anything), you are actually seeing what it looked like moments before. At no point ever are you from the observer point of view ever seeing your hand in its relative present time.

Due to the speed of light and the relative small distances we perceive most of what we see, hear or feel as the present when in fact we are observing the past. It only becomes noticeable over large distances ; time delay on long distance calls and video.

Re: Its America

In the UK and most other places you'll find that when you are awaiting sentencing on charges and are let out, your on bail. Breach of your bail conditions one of which is committing any other crime is you go to jail until your sentencing.
