  1. Re:Hello, economics on Asteroid Resources Could Make Science Fiction Dreams and Nightmares a Reality · · Score: 1

    Much like deep sea drilling for oil

    You just gotta watch out for the Russian water tentacles.

    Skipping the tire analogy, I could say that :
    Apple knows its OS best and the Apple approved choices are the optimal choices and thus, the best result for the customer;
    or that blocking hardware that works fine is just an attempt to maintain a stranglehold on the ecosystem (and their profits).

    My initial point was that attacking the person shows the lack of merit of your argument. If their argument has flaws, expose them. If they are indeed morons, then it's self-evident and there's no need to lower oneself to name-calling.

    My brakes worked fine before I got the "better" wheels. This is about choice and control. If I want to run the thing on something they don't support, that is indeed my problem. When I can't run the thing because they arbitrarily don't allow me to, it's a different story.

    If you have a valid argument, then state it and let it be debated. Repeatedly calling parent posters morons is just childish.

  6. Re:The police are morons on Police Swarm Bungie Office Over Halo Replica Rifle · · Score: 2, Informative

    My glock 21 is a semi-automatic firearm and it is still accurate to call it an automatic. If the firearm in question uses gas from the firing of a bullet to load another round and prepare the firing pin to strike again. Then it is an automatic.

    Depends on the context: Fully Automatic compared to Semi-automatic

    An AK-47 is semi-auto, not full-auto, so your question is irrelevant.

    The A in AK stands for Avtomat (Automatic). If it's semi-auto, then's it's not an AK proper, but one of the many variants.

    I believe governator was always a play on governor + terminator. And from a quick search, "gubernator" is not even a real word.
