I think they learned something you clearly missed - That you can avoid violence through deterrence. I've used this technique to avoid conflict. If you can scare your opponent out of his will to fight then you've won. If you can talk them out of it then do it; But you need to somehow dissuade them.
Robot... 3. a mechanism guided by automatic controls
Robot is a vague term and it does not mean strictly autonomous. Using the autonomous definition the "robotic arm" on the shuttle is not robotic at all. But it most certainly is. It's a term used to describe more than one thing, autonomous and "remote manipulators" included.
You want specifics? I'll send them to you in a message if so. I'm armed to the fucking teeth motherfucker. I'm serious as a heart attack, I would LOVE for you to show up so I could bury you.
Says the guy that posts as AC. See I'm an asshole, but I don't care if you know it. Because in real life and "internet life" there isn't a fucking thing you can do to me. On the internet I'll fucking own you. If you fuck with me in real life I'll just bury you. It's lose-lose for cowards like you.
You can mod down, you can talk down from AC. But you'll always be a coward. No comment system will change that. No troll mod will change that.
Keep spending wasting those mod points idiots. I've been posting here at +2 for 10 fucking years and even if I got a life ban I could give two shits. This site needs me, not the other way around.
I must be gullible as hell then because I support the US intelligence services. Why? Because as crazy as it sounds, there really are people scheming to take advantage of us. Someone has to stand on the wall, as fucked up as that is. That's what lets us float around acting ignorant, someone out there is doing things on our behalf, sometimes terrible things.
I just watch like a bystander because the idea that my acceptance makes it legit, is well, ridiculous. I have no say in the matter.
Thanks for the info, I've been looking for just this. A similar program, the empower program, was it's predecessor. I had a start up that fell under that license and it really helped a lot, getting us legit licenses for our otherwise bootleg copies.
I'm gonna write software regardless. I can use Microsoft's tools but if they drive me out with costs I'll look elsewhere. The platform is big, but it's not gonna remain the biggest forever. Right now I do both, I work on MS projects for work and side projects on a nix-based python platform.
That's my point. Not all of us are intolerant assholes. I may be an asshole at times, but not for religious reasons:)
I know a lot of Christians and although I don't have data to back it up I do propose that most of them in the US are tolerant and it's the smaller more radical groups that get the most press, deservingly. If all of them were intolerant radicals then this country would be much different though, because religious believers are the majority here. I would put forward that tolerance is typical, but we must keep fighting for it on both sides of religion.
I'm not saying you need to stop criticizing. Criticism is good, it keeps theists on their toes and makes them think, myself included. No one's actions are above oversight. No question should be held back.
As for standing up for what is right? I'm right beside you. I'll stand right beside you and stand up for your beliefs. I can't follow Christ and be intolerant, it does not compute IMHO. Unless you are talking about the basic morals that most humans live by (don't murder, don't steal, etc).
Are you telepathic or did the OP tell you in a private message what he believes? Because if not you pretty much just validated his point. You dove right in without thinking and made yourself the hypocrite.
So let me get this straight. You want to be treated with respect but you refuse to treat others of faith with respect because someone else did something that offended you and they just happened to be theists also?
You're probably a logical thinker, but sir that's illogical and pretty much the definition of intolerant.

First step, don't over think it. Be an emotional creature. Indulge in being an animal for just a bit.
Considering I could build one myself - yes I do think they have this capability.

So fucking what. How come I have to act like a grown up around a bunch of kids? Fuck you and your horse.
Yeah yeah. I notice you don't say much beyond a lot of fluff.

I got a better idea. How about you post your real name and address and I come over for a debate? Oh wait, you're a spineless fuck. Never mind.
Eventually you'll run out of points asshole. That's when I'll post my EPIC TRILOGY of hate.

LOL at the troll mod. Who am I trolling exactly?
Take your emotion chip out "Data", the humor module is malfunctioning.
But are they Sasha Grey throat-gag hard core? Because I'm not into the soft shit. I want to see Microsoft throttled by the Apple/Google stunt cock.
mmmmmm Beefy!
I am curious though, how does this do against Bears? Black bears of course because they are best.

Don't get me started on plants. Plants are the scourge of the earth. Rocks are where it's at.
This is not good. The Philip K Dick estate is going to own half the known world.

He didn't say it was a fad exactly. He pretty much said it was lame.
IMHO he's looking in the wrong places. He should be here with us, discussing what's important.
Are you a tough guy in real life or only on the internet?
He never claimed to be a theist. He just said it's a circle jerk. But whatever. Hide behind your monitor and call me an asshole all you want big man.
That's my point. Not all of us are intolerant assholes. I may be an asshole at times, but not for religious reasons :)
