You usually don't because any competent software company writing Java software of this type will provide a launcher that takes care of this for you and you can remain blissfully unaware of it like any other software. Just because Minecraft is retarded, doesn't make Java retarded.
Actually, Chrome has been doing this for a while for users who log into Chrome with their google account. This is just a new thing they are adding for users who are not logged in.
You do realize that Chrome and the javascript and rendering engines it's built on are open source, right? You also realize that Chrome is just a release version of Chromium (with a few extra goodies thrown in like flash player and PDF viewer), right? You also realize you can use a tool like Fiddler to see exactly what Chrome sends over the wire if you don't trust what it reports in it's own dev tools, right? The only part of Chrome that could be considered sketchy is RLZ, but they made that open source so you can see exactly what it does.
All true (except for maybe that loosening up part). People should read more about the history of that country rather than jumping to a bunch of conclusions.
Because Thailand didn't piss off a bunch of very large US corporations by nationalizing their shit out of existence. That's the real reason they're embargoed. The communism thing is just a politically passable excuse. By embargoing them, we're warning others to never do the same otherwise they risk being embargoed forever.
You realize the vast majority of small arms being used by the Syrian revolution came from A) Army defectors and B) Foreign supply, right?
Good point! Fortunately, it also plays into my argument that these weapons should remain available for sale in the US. And I'm glad you acknowledge that assault weapons are viable tools to fight an army. In short, it's completely realistic to fight an army with small arms, IEDs, and other improvised weapons.
I'm not wrong at all. About half the troops in Afghanistan are killed by IEDs. The rest are killed largely by small arms. Lookup the stats yourself.
As for the Arab Spring, you're right that a lot was accomplished with large scale protests but that wasn't all of it. For example, in Syria it's turned into a flat out civil war and the rebels are using small arms and anything else they can come up with to fight government troops. Without small arms there would be no civil war possible; just a bunch of dead civilians.
Additionally, the lowly AK47 has had more impact on world affairs than any other weapon is modern history.
As someone who was once training a dog for SAR, I can tell you that most SAR (and cadaver) dogs are handled by volunteers so they are completely free (at least as far as the taxpayer is concerned). There are a ton of volunteer SAR organizations in the US.
Dogs do have a time limit but so do their handlers. It's pretty much a given that you're going to have to swap out teams for a truly long duration search. That's not going to be any different if you're using a device.
That said, the main benefit of a device over a dog is that a device could be used in areas that are simply too hazardous or difficult for dogs to operate.
Apparently you aren't familiar with Article 1, Section 8 of the Constitution.
"The Congress shall have power to lay and collect taxes on incomes, from whatever source derived, without apportionment among the several States, and without regard to any census or enumeration."
I don't think you get the history or context here. This was during the Viet Nam war where you had a lot of anti-war sentiment going on. However, it was much more than that because the anti-war people were also anti-military. Totally different situation than what you have today where you may be against being in Afghanistan but probably still love the military folks.
Your rights come from the constitution. There's no magic about it. The constitution says you have rights, therefore you do. The constitution, just like your rights, is man-made. Keep in mind that the government can take away those rights at anytime by modifying the constitution regardless of anything in the declaration of independence or some perceived power granted by your favorite deity.
We have the government we have today because power has a natural tendency to concentrate and flow upward. It's nothing new and there's nothing magical about the US that protects us from the effect. A well informed electorate or revolution is the only solution.
Bullets kill regardless of whether the gun is automatic, semi-automatic, or a musket. Therefore, they are all effective. Obviously, some more than others.
Dude, there's nothing magic about being human. You have "rights" because the constitution says so. The constitution is man-made just like our government. That's the distinction you don't understand. Your view is based on ideology and mine is based on reality. Sorry if that sounds mean but I can't think of a nice way to put it.
People think they have rights that they don't. For example, most people think they have the right to own property. They don't. Consequently, it can be taken by the government for any number of reasons. People think they have the right to privacy. You don't.
People confuse philosophical notions with reality but reality always wins.
Legality effects availability. If they cannot be sold, they will not be made. Yes, there's a stockpile available now but over time that stockpile dwindles until it's eventually non-existent. So, of course it can effect the outcome of a Civil War.

Good point. After all, they could make all this stuff that they give away for free and still make a profit without it, right?

But then I'd have to use C++, which is pretty much the ultimate frankenstein language.
You do realize that Java is one of the fastest languages on the planet, right? And unlike C#, it's fast on many different operating systems.

My argument still stands.
Only client-side Java sucks but nobody does client-side Java so who gives a shit.
I'm guessing almost all of the parts are made in China and they are just assembled in Korea.

Rights are granted by man, not God. So, take a wild guess. That doesn't mean I think slavery isn't utterly abhorrent.
ROFL...you give me a link to a fraud.

You really need to stop watching Fox News.
I haven't changed my position in the slightest bit. You are the one trying to shift things around to fit your argument.
People can hate the government and love their military (which is pretty much how it is right fucking now).
I don't think you get the history or context here. This was during the Viet Nam war where you had a lot of anti-war sentiment going on.

A "right" is a matter of perspective. At the end of the day you're making a merely philosophical argument -- not a real one.
