Oh come on now, everything remotely political that negatively impacts someone's "team" is clearly the work of a government agency, most likely the CIA/NSA.
I've spent a great deal of time trying to convince my wife to go out and "play" in the snow. There is NO substitute for practice when it comes to vehicle dynamics.
I have professional training in driving (though I don't race competitively currently) and have a great many friends who do as well. Nearly all of them are what I consider excellent drivers (aware of surroundings, courteous toward other drivers, always signal, etc). I know full well that my friends with racing experience have been in far fewer crashes (on the road, not the track) than my non-professional friends.
FWIW, I have been in 3 crashes myself. 1x equipment failure (brake failure on older car, managed to mitigate the severity of the crash a great deal due to my training), 1x rear ended, and 1x hit someone in the rear (was that or hit an elderly man head on at 60 mph, who had turned the wrong way on the highway).
I'm certainly not saying that professional drivers are above failure, but experience disagrees greatly with your suppositions.
While I agree with your stance on the subject, what you said above is roughly equivalent to "I've robbed several banks and not gotten in trouble, so it must not be illegal".
My concern is not with the legal ramifications of the usage of my internet by my neighbors/passerby...
My concern is with the fact that I have 3 Mb of available downstream bandwidth, of which I often make full use. You want some internet, don't slow me down, go bloody buy your own.
I have no issue with police punishing me for what I've done wrong.
I have major issues with the police not abiding by the same laws that they enforce for the public. From simple traffic laws (the most obvious) to drug trafficking, we have MAJOR issues with the police in the area I live in, and in my experience, throughout the country.
Having actually met a couple girls online (though both led to relationships in real life, one 6 year girlfriend, and one being my wife who I have been with for 8 years), I can't comprehend WHY this would seem enjoyable for anyone. Looks like all of the downsides of a "relationship" without ANY benefits. Finding people on the internet is a viable (though equally precarious) alternative to a bar or being setup with friends (depending on your friends) but finding pretend people on the internet... the mind boggles.
I have a similar issue, though it seems specific to people. I can close my eyes and see many objects, but I could not describe my wife's face very well at all.
Because of this issue, I had a great deal of trouble connecting names to faces. I've learned to instead associate voices with names, and then the faces are less important. I can identify a person by voice easily, but by facial keys, my error rate is very high.
FWIW, I have an excellent memory elsewhere (and am often stated to have a "photographic" or "eidetic" memory by others, though I fear they don't know the full meaning). Most of my work in training my memory is by making associations to things. Music or numbers are the methods that work for me. I used to listen to music in college while studying, and found I scored notably better on tests if I was allowed to listen to my MP3 player while taking the test (though my results pool is limited, so correlation != causation should be obviously noted).
Indeed. JFK Jr. did have a wife named Carolyn, but she died in the plane crash that killed him. Caroline Kennedy, who attended, was JFK's daugher (and, obviously, JFK Jr. sister, not wife).
Hmm, I just learned to be sneaky enough to get admin access to the network at school, and relevant passwords to bypass the filters. Perhaps they're really just teaching the students how to be sneaky?
No, but it is ironic that the person who swapped real CPUs for fakes may have actually given away something that will be, in the long run, more valuable a commodity than the CPUs he/she ended up with.
It's paradoxical though, as without introducing them into the market, there is no chance for an increase in valuation. Perhaps they kept a few of these collectors items themselves.

Try and keep up here!
Care to extol that a bit? How does noting an opinion on an individual he dislikes automatically make him a bigot?
Or was massive exaggeration on your part your intention?
Simply disagreeing with your opinion does not make someone stupid. In fact, based on the facts so far, it may make them quite intelligent.
He was referring to the local computer network, not the "Swarmanoid" network.
I find it rather hilarious that the concept of carrying a weapon somehow implies a lack of intelligence.
It would seem to me that choosing not to when given the option shows a much larger lack of foresight.
He exists in WoW as a "Night Elf Mohawk".
There is a fundamental flaw with this concept.
It's reasonable and makes sense. There will be none of that here.
So if you don't like it... don't use it?
Did I miss some news blurb that Google+ is now required for usage by all citizens of earth now?
Tuning pages with your right hand does not count as understanding them, any more than your hand counts as a spouse.
So they've managed to create software that can process a manual, with a language it does not already understand, more effectively than my wife.
Impressive. Now they need to make it reiterate the manual in a way that she can understand.
I agree with this very much.

I'd like to see a citation on that.

My personal long standing dislike of them is based on the Nvidia scandal where they were skewing test results, which dates back about 10 years.
That said, they seem to be on the up and up since then, though appearances can be deceiving.
That's easy. Quantum Bigfoot 5.25" hard drives. They liked to randomly drop partition tables, when they worked at all.

Where do I click "dislike" exactly...

What company had that big spill in the gulf last summer? Something petroleum... American Petroleum? No.. that wasn't it.. where were those guys from?

Why do people keep saying this? Because Wikipedia said so? The Burkland racing team has went faster by 20+ mph than the Railton.
Excellent, so my Pentium Pro 266 should be worth a fair amount, no?
I have a feeling the 280 dollar sports cars may also be made of lead...
