Hardly. Don't you realize that most people want to be plug-and-play tools in their professional and money-making lives so they can be social and do non-productive things the rest of the time
? Only relatively rare people are driven to "work on things." And no, this doesn't mean they are somehow intellectually disabled.
Actually, this problem is moot. As it happens, the absolute frame of reference in this universe defaults to the "sleeping" "body" of Cthulhu, in the "city" of R'hyleh, "located" on the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean here on Earth. So at most it's a difference of a few centimeters.
(Seriously, this always disturb me on some visceral level when works of fiction discuss a universial frame of reference like there was such a thing? The relative frame of reference of "the universe"? Aeaeaeaeafhtagn...)
It's "just" WiFi cookie theft. You can do that easily with wireshark and copy/paste, this just makes it a bit faster. The problem lies in session cookies, and this is a problem known for what, almost a decade now?
The likelihood of pipe I/O changing in the basic UNIX toolkit is near zero. Or is it just that you (and/or managers and other "people-person" types) need someone to sign the dotted line for you to feel certain that things are as they should?
Mmm, the situation, as in a situation where two people are equally technically capable of doing each other harm, but only one has the ability (or a much stronger ability) to act on it. I and you might not have that problem, but consider how a "meek" person would view the situation. Surely they would want a trained and organized "violence monopoly" of "violent men" to protect them, and stand questioning as to the utility and safety of allowing private weapons carried for self-defense in the general public. Because they fundamentally don't understand how someone could do someone else such harm willingly, and still be sane and good. In the worst case, they see the ability and want to do harm as being evil in and of itself, leading to (as understood from the "violent" side) a very misunderstood morality.
I think when most people say that, they mean equal opportunity of attempting to twist things your way (without transgressing on others, mind you.) And most people do understand sarcasm intuitively, but I've heard up to 1/4 have problems with it. I agree with you, in any case, that the american system is failing something horridly. But I'm swedish, and even here the basic law is that you must exploit your resources if you want to get things done for yourself. The socialism ensures that people don't eat each other alive when they fail, or in fear of failing.
It's still unfair. Thinking that everyone is so easily capable of killing or harming is making a serious mistake, not to mention making use of that in a critical situation.
I assume things like these signs is just so that anyone who intervenes has noone to blame but themselves. And as for intervening myself, it'd have to be handled on a case by case basis - but one argument I never see toted is, it's a chance to harm or kill someone without suffering moral pain or consequences by law or social standing.
He was being sarcastic. If you adapted a less victimized and more pragmatic/"exploiting" attitude, you might find that things in life get easier without much more effort on your part. You don't have to cast out your morals, just practice thinking "how can I turn this to my benefit? Or failing that, escape with as little loss as possible?" without factoring any silly things like your "identity" into the process.
People scream and cry much more realistically IRL; some find this disturbing and a bit overdone. Also, their remains smell, and you actually have to move them to some sort of storage place when you tire of the sight because the fade time is measured in months. And the death animations are just ridicilous in some cases, and really break immersion with their gargling and staring (and shitting!). How this game passed any sort of review board is beyond me.
If I may interject, in the case of parents basement it is mostly the implication that you are without employment and that your parents are acting as your providers and "servants". Action figures noone minds. Maid cafes are considered creepy because of the percieved "perversion of human interaction" - it is a gut feeling in most people I have introduced to the concept and nothing so much that can be put into words; I have never been to one personally.
The parent is quite correct, even if I don't agree with him as to the best approach to the "islamic menace" being shutting and barricading all the doors. American liberals don't understand what the "socialism" in sweden really is, and that it's basically just a jacked-up tax system and a cultural focus on maintaining the collective for everyone's security and freedom instead of just the individuals direct freedom. "The third way" isn't a perfect mix between socialism and capitalism, it's the sweet spot where the individual has as much freedom as possible in his actions balanced against his contributions to the collective that protects him from the consequences of this actions. The Social Democrat government was getting stagnant, and the system non-optimal (and decaying) so it was voted out.
Have you played "Penumbra: The Black Plague", made here? Remember the Tuurngait?
Are you certain it was someone who ordered the assassination, rather than just the old guard nationalist assassin(s) deciding to assassinate on their own?
This is not what I said, and this man is probably much less of a warmonger than me. Any interpretation of Sharia law is unacceptably oppressive from my point of view, but as he states further down, he supports the Saudi Arabic view of it. This includes corporal punishments (lashings) of children and even death for homosexuality, just to name one easily-identifiable thing (even if he does not seem to have this perception of it). It is the internal oppression within countries and families and culture I care about, even if it does not involve me. I have no fear of external action on Saudi Arabias part at all.

And there's that second problem to overcome with "real" cyberware...

We are all as worms. With really big guns.

No, no you're not.
Hyperbole. What they're trying to leverage is the self-reliance on distribution channels, not leeching everyone's data.

Exactly.
But maybe the humanities could branch out like this?

"We" were signals intelligence spies, selling/providing data to the NATO and the US.
"We" thought germany would win the war, at least in the short term, and prepared for that eventuality.

In many cases, it's probably closer your experiences. But rest assured, had I witnessed it, your parents had been in for a world of pain.

I wrote that with a basic understanding of what strict Sharia law means. It's quite a bit more than that.
