London Riots

Cops need to just start killing people. If it gets worse Marshal Law will be declaired and the army will start killing people.
The police are there to maintain order and security in a society. It's expected that they'll serve as a bulwark between protesters and the parliament, but when they cross the line and use lethal force on civilians just because the top brass orders it, they have thereby abandoned their role as peacekeeper and have become government enforcers. In that situation, they must be peacefully disbanded or violently destroyed.
And if the army opens fire on unarmed civilians then it's flat-out civil war.
Don't forget to think before you post :3

A few hours ago, there was a Facebook group of people planning to riot at Leicester. The group's deleted now, fortunately.
I fail to see how censorship can be "fortunate". Real grievances shouldn't be sequestered and driven underground.

There's a difference between a meaningful revolution at the right time and not a bunch of punks starting a riot to steal stuff, destroy stuff and have a feeling of belonging for a moment. I'm quite sure you'd ask 70% of the people in those mobs and they wouldn't even be able to tell you what they are rioting for.
Two things about this.
First, "Meaningful revolution at the right time" isn't recognized until after the fact. The Boston Tea Party, as it happened, was little more than angry citizens vandalizing a tea shipment. Who knows? Maybe the death of this guy at the hands of British police (bobbies :D) will go down in history as the precursor to the overthrow of the House of Windsor. Probably not, though. A successful revolution has a plan. The sentiment in the UK, as far as I know, is little more than "down with _____", with the blank being the political enemy du jour.
Second, during good times this event would have been Nightline News for a week, prompted an investigation, a police suspension, some angry picketers, a trial set for 3 years from now, and then everybody would forget it. But others have already pointed it out : The amount of backlash this event generated just goes to show the level of discontent with the entire UK system.
We can expect a lot more riots like this, and not just in the UK, Greece, or Spain. Youth of the World, Unite. Hopefully at the end of the tunnel, we'll have meaningful change in a few places around the globe and not just swathes of teenagers and 20-somethings sitting in jail for civil disobedience.

I can't wait for a demo. The screenshots are about as RTPish as RTP gets. Hard to believe there are industry professionals involved.

Regular zipfiles have built-in support in Windows (at least in XP and onward) so those should work within the rules given.
But then the judges have to have Windows XP or higher.
How do I know none of you are operating on Linux?
Do our projects now have to include an operating system?
But then you will need hard drives to install them to.
