    Clearly we've gotten stupider every generation. I mean we went from horse and buggies to the moon in 50 years so CLEARLY you are right on all accounts. People like Shakespeare and Chaucer were never considered trivial hacks at all. None whatsoever. Get over yourself. You do not know what you're talking about.

    Can't watch Netflix on Linux without some hacks ATM, so drivers are only part of the problem. Both Windows and Linux have auto driver download if you run the system update package of either.

    Which would be better served by a netbook. We can go round in circles if you want, but I still fail to see a use case where a tablet is better than a netbook

    I can think of a use case, but it's very narrow and would be better serviced by a netbook or something else. That's not really up for debate

    Martin is not being charged with anything, but I believe he would also be able to claim SYG. However that is irrelevant. Surprise, surprise, you still don't know what the fuck you're talking about:

    "That's not what the law says," said Steven Romine, a Tampa Bay lawyer who has invoked "stand your ground" successfully. "They might think that in their own heads, but it's just not true.

    "If you're doing something legal, no matter what the act is, and you're attacked, it's in that moment that you have a right to stand your ground." Prosecutors, who are generally critical of the law, agree.

    "The real issue is what happens around the 60 seconds prior to the shooting," said Ed Griffith, a spokesman for the Miami-Dade State Attorney's Office, which brought the charges against Greyston Garcia. "Everything else has emotional content, but from a legal perspective, it all comes down to the 60 seconds before the incident." http://www.tampabay.com/news/publicsafety/stand-your-ground-law-protects-those-who-go-far-beyond-that-point/1222930 Martin was doing nothing illegal. Cops have already confirmed that 8 months ago. Quit pulling shit from your ass. It'll get red and chapped at your rate.

    Martin's blood was on Zimmerman, so you clearly skimmed the report or read the summaries. You should call the Sanford ME and offer your expertise.

    By all reconstructions, testimony and other means available to the court, Martin was on top of Zimmerman. No one really contests that at this point. Your take on his SYG being torpedoed is idiotic, because, as I've demonstrated in this thread, you have zero knowledge of SYG case history in the state. There have been multiple PUBLICIZED instances where the instigator shoots the victim to death and walks. Do some god damn research. This is one such case: http://articles.orlandosentinel.com/2012-06-27/news/sns-mct-miami-man-freed-in-stand-your-ground-ruling-20120627_1_miami-man-miami-police-miami-gardens

    The EMS cleaned him up before he was brought in. Read the police report and autopsy report. I don't give a shit what you've been told. Public record clearly indicates he was injured and Martin had corresponding bruising on his knuckles. I'm not Gary Sinise but I can read an autopsy report.

    Read the SYG law, shut the fuck up, and go back to your abode under the bridge. I've been assured the billy goats gruff will be by soon. Please educate yourself before you talk more. In this situation the SYG law will supersede the manslaughter laws because there is a lack of evidence against Zimmerman, not necessarily because he's innocent or was "right" in what he did. The case history across the entire state is overwhelmingly in Zimmerman's favor. http://www.tampabay.com/news/publicsafety/stand-your-ground-law-protects-those-who-go-far-beyond-that-point/1222930 Get a bottle thrown at you?
