"The core of the problem is that the people do not trust their government anymore to have their best interest in their mind. And that's a real danger. Far, far worse than any terrorist group could ever be."
BULLSHIT. People should ALWAYS view government with suspicion and always be vigilant that it doesnt run away, its literally the price of freedom. The People can exist without the current government, the current government cannot exist without The People. No one should be idolize a government, its a legal fiction we create to help us get along. Its not a suicide pact.
The people here are GREY-BEARDS you millennial twat. Grey-beards are the wise and the experienced, of which you are neither. Rejecting 'The UNIX way' is folly, not enlightenment.
Shouldn't EVERY citizen be home-schooled in the Constitution? Are you saying the law is above lay-men and they should just be subject to it without questioning?
"A remote-controlled, pilotless aircraft or missile."
You dont get to 'distance' yourself from 'idiots' by claiming R/C is not the same thing as a drone. It is, you are just experiencing an Eternal September and dont like it
You are being obtuse here. Part of the reason we dont have direct democracy is that the public is DUMB. We are a Constitutional Republic for a reason. Part of that reason is to keep the Tyranny of the Masses, AKA Democracy, in check by not allowing them the power to arbitrarily change the rules.
They ALREADY ask for your papers. We have long since passed "Papieren, BITTE!". The big news this week is that some State government's IDs are not valid for the TSA for flying (and Amtrak too i assume). We are at the point where not only do you need papers, but specifically approved papers as mandated not by your state, but by the federal government.
"State to state, no papers" my ass. I too would have liked to have seen Montana.
You realize you can build these things in a garage from off the shelf parts that cannot be regulated this way, right? DO you understand the word Liberty at all?
It can cut both ways. Binning serves lots of purposes, some technical, some economic. Its an elastic process. Sometimes they just need the 'cheaper model' to have less performance so it stays in its market segment.
Flashing GPUs with a higher end firmware. Unlocking cores in AMD CPUs......jailbreaking often unlocks hardware that is dormant, like bluetooth on Apple TV gen2 and Nook color tablets. These are just things I have done personally....
"I strongly prefer the freemium model used in games like world of tanks."
HAHAHAHA. This statement invalidates any opinion you might have on modern gaming.
"WHAT IS LINUX?
Linux is a Unix clone written from scratch by Linus Torvalds with
assistance from a loosely-knit team of hackers across the Net.
It aims towards POSIX compliance."
"all because drone owners wanted to get video of the destruction."
In the past we called this sort of thing LIBERTY, and handled it like adults, not name calling like petty children. You make curiosity out to be a vice. Yes people do stupid stuff, that doesnt mean you should go around shitting on everyone's Liberty because its an activity you dont like.
"So instead of marketing something like this is the story from which virtually every modern scifi epic draws ( the princess, the alien sidekick, the man out of place, teleportation, gravity technology, planetary migration, resource wars, solar power, etc etc -- *all* drawn from Princess of Mars)"
More than anything else, this is why i watched this movie. The story is the genesis of many things.
This isnt limited to kids. In the past i would hold on to technology for a long time. I grew to LOVE my walkman over its years of operation. Now everything is dynamic, chances are even if you have something for years and love it, they company ends up updating it to something you dont love.
My nephew is 10 years old. He has never ONCE been outside on his own more than 100 yards from his house. The worst part is i cant say shit about it or his parents look at me like a grew a third eye.

This is a prime example of 'all of the power, none of the responsibility.' type of thinking.

"Can I still fly my plain-old R/C plane? Because that's NOT A DRONE AND NEVER HAS BEEN (except for the ignorant)."
You are going to provide a definition to make a claim like this. Google says R/C planes fall under the definition of drone.

You cant control birds so instead you control man...... wise.
Fuck you. Thats the most eloquent response i can come up to this ridiculous appeal to authoritarianism.

Linux is a UNIX clone based off the work of Bell Labs, USA.
Driving a car on private property does not require registration......What other gems of crappy logic do you have?

Guns are an ENUMERATED RIGHT. What part of 'shall not infringe' is unclear to you?
