But they are the only ones that have been flamed for it. I dont really see much difference between having to use sudo everytime you want to do something vs the UAC prompt, yet Ubuntu is lavished for how security is thanks to sudo and Vista was trashed for being inconvenient.
In winXP you have to type the WEP/WPA key twice, in Vista then you only have to do it once and it has a checkbox to hide or show chars.
emails in registration forms also have to be exact, a single typo can change the recipient and then have no way of recovering nor retrieving that account. Ive had a few times where i typed in disposibleaccount@yahoo.com and disposibleaccount@msn.com in to both boxes. Its nice to make sure you have the right address there the first time.
Good point. In fact, there are court cases that say they are not required to protect you. Only to identify and apprehend those responsible. Cops aren't the public's bodyguards.
The current wars going on aren't using a great deal more ammo than is normally spent during training purposes anyway. It's not the wars that is causing the demand to rise.
I know, trillions was an exaggeration and I didn't mean anyone to take it literally. Sure it is theoretically possible, hence I said impracticable but the question I was replying to is that it IS being done RIGHT NOW.
I didn't say that it would not be possible to "use effectively because the data is too vast".
In fact, the way that our socialist president is headed, an attempt to start something like this (successful or not) may very well be happening SOON, ala Eagle Eye. My point however, is that it isn't happening YET. I just don't believe the infrastructure to collect, analyze and store everything that goes on in the world or nation is in place at this moment.
There is the election of a certain moron into a high ranking position who has a long history of trying to outlaw anything related to firearms. Along with the promises/threats from idiots like McCarthy to push for more bans, demand has soared through the roof in the past few months. Production has been increased, but demand has risen much much faster.
I'd have to say you got your tin foil on a little tight. The sheer volume of information you claim is being archived would be impractical to impossible to keep, even with storage space prices plummeting. You really think they are so out to get you that they are spending trillions to record everything forever? Sure it is stored temporarily. It has to in order to get it to you, but logs and cache gets flushed unless there is a reason to keep it.
Are you kidding? I would take a dirt or gravel road in the winter over pavement easily. Plow pavement smooth and all you get is sheet ice. Pave most of the snow off of gravel and you get ridges from the rocks. Much better traction on the bumpy gravel than the smooth ice.
Not really. The only people who will have problems typing are those who advance into old age or some form of degenerative disease. Those who die from trauma or acute disease will never experience such problems. You can be typing along at 100 wpm and get shot in the head. I'd say that that person never experienced any problem typing. Including death in and of itself as a difficulty doesnt count.
lol, flamebait? you're denying the rampant voting fraud surrounding acorn and the like? the unreliability of diabold? the "recounts"? lost ballot boxes?
Youre forgeting that the "citizens" still engaged in a guerilla war are often imports. There is a huge difference between the iraqi people those still fighting.
I dont really have the means to become an invisible french agent, highly trained space marine with force field armor, fireball spitting sorcerer, nor acrobatic time shifter (TF2, Halo, WoW, PoP). I do have the means to become the creepy playground stalker (not that I want to). Its a matter of possibility. Yes, many games depict/glorify violence, yet those depictions are false and impossible. When they become practical/possible that they become disturbing too (see GTA).

Do you have a fridge next to your computer?
I play Freecell you insenstive clod!

Note, I dont really have those addresses.
Obama is happy. Another reason for a tax, even if the CO2 tree plan never actually gets started.

I just had to use my points up less than 15 minutes ago.
According to Switzerland, the best thing you can do to reduce crime, gun related and not, is give your citizens guns.
Good point. In fact, there are court cases that say they are not required to protect you. Only to identify and apprehend those responsible. Cops aren't the public's bodyguards.
Good thread about it @ http://www.defensivecarry.com/vbulletin/law-enforcement-military-homeland-security-discussion/74826-police-not-required-protect-you.html
I dont want to try and copy all the links and information there. Nobody will probably read it anyway.
That is absolutely ridiculous. Crime ALWAYS increases in areas with strict gun laws.
Try reading www.GunFacts.info, you will be surprised at what gun ownership actually does.

Dude, are you new here? You need a CAR analogy, not a network one. Try this
Your car has emissions levels up the wazoo and is banned from the highways. You are a asshat anyway and keep driving.

Yup, because our own elections are sooo much more reliable.
That is a very good point. Wish I had mods for ya.
Any animal that pisses on golfers is a species that ought to be treasured and protected.
There, fixed that for ya.
but if they were armed then they couldnt fly. try it yourself. wave your own really fast.
"It's been a while since I read the bible, but I'd bet that somewhere in there it does discuss rape in a positive light."
You lose.
