There is nothing new here. I was teaching computer basics, including programming, to inmates at an open prison in England as part of a rehabilitation scheme as a moonlighting job back when I was a university professor in the early 1980s. One of my students went on to take a Computer Science degree course at a leading university (not mine).

It would be interesting to see if this particular person did not end up back in prison, but rather went on to be a productive member of society, writing null reference exceptions.

I got a thank-you letter from him when he graduated but didn't hear any more from him.

.. and we have to teach them about web security, SQL injection etc..
They will use this newfound knowledge to society's benefit, won't they?

It's only to be expected.
Californians are jealous that they're not the hacking capital of the world, so they're doing something about it.

I would think 4 days a week for 6 months in a class of 18 taught by a real world professional would turn out some bloody good coders. They would certainly put the Q&A to shame!

Well, at least the £15m went to a worthwhile cause that must have been well managed in the recent past.

Don't be silly. He's obviously got much higher priorities.
I wouldn't be surprised if the debt that was paid was to him.

But S&P are the people who said that if 100,000 people have callously been given mortgages that they won't be able to pay, those mortgages are a triple-A investment, so it follows that if they say something is junk, that's where you should put your money.

The problem with that is...we know Twatter is junk.

It's cr@p, but it's Phenomenally popular, so it's worth a lot of money.
S&P are probably running some kind of con. As usual.

That's what's so weird: It still made a loss of $145,000,000[^] for Q2, and it still gets more valuable!
You expected that in the Dot Con years, but I'd expect someone to sit back and think!
Sorry, sorry. I was expecting accountants to think...don't know what came over me there...

Hey! My wife is an accountant.
I think you meant stock analysts?

I sorry to hear that. Is it curable?
Stock analysts make up predictions on what return you will get recommend stocks, accountants control the money that buy them. And the price of stocks only changes based on what people actually shell out wonga for. This may be influenced by stock analysts, but doesn't have to be.
And I've got it in for accountants today...
