Oh, please. Now it's preteen boys acting as crass as they possibly can, before it was a bunch of actually pretty smart people acting as dumb as they can.
"before" here referring to years and years back./b/ was never good; the rest of 4chan was.
Environmental extremists do exist; and the worst thing is that most environmentalists don't have a bloody clue what is actually good for the environment.
The best, cleanest sources for stable energy we have now are hydroelectric and nuclear. Hydroelectric is hard to utilize any further without disrupting the ecosystem badly, and I haven't seen too many people who call themselves environmentalist without having an irrational fear about anything relating to nuclear power.
The only way to satisfy some environmentalists is to wipe the human race off the planet, because they are going to scream about the current pollution levels and any cost-effective measures to control them.
Opera on a whole plethora of devices - possibly most importantly Opera for Symbian 60. Heck, the inbuilt web browser in several models of the Communicator.
Time Machine? Done earlier and better by a dozen different corporate backup solutions.
Xubuntu can do 128mb of RAM and 4gb of HDD space easily. Heck, you can make it work with 64mb of RAM and 2gb of HDD space... though that ain't exactly easy.
And of course, I've ran a functional Debian installation at 32mb RAM and 512mb HDD space.
You can go even smaller, but those are special case systems.
I've seen this too. After upgrading from a cheap soundcard and cheap headphones to Xonar and Sennheiser headphones, I could hear the difference between FLAC and 192kbps mp3.
It's not much but enough to bother me - and at least once I ripped to FLAC I know it's more or less as good as it's going to get.
And he also thinks his merit would matter in a libertarian dreamworld - eventually, socialism is necessary or you will devolve into anarchy, rule of the weak.
Because rule of the rich without a society to support them leads to dead rich people and the strongest ruling.
Heck, Finns are more upset at their government going the American way pandering to corporate interests and listening to moral panics much more than we're upset at our brand of socialism.
USA is an uncivilized wasteland as far as I'm concerned. Healthcare, housing and food isn't available for free to anyone in actual need? Barbarians.
I think you live in a land full of magical fairies.
Eventually, the difference between libertarianism and anarchy is zero, because the libertarian dream will always lead to anarchy much like the communist dream will always lead to tyranny.
Except that the provider taking the brunt of this was created by the government and practically has all of it's infrastructure built by the government.
Privatizing them in the first place was a serious mistake.
It's interesting how in your retconned history America had the first government.
Anyway, I live in Finland and like the government - and I have a good reason to, because I'm atheistic and need expensive surgery. In America my fate would be neatly summed up as "suffer and die", but in Finland I get the surgery for free.
I don't know, but I believe that part about "suffering and dying" would hamper my pursuit of happiness - as well as my right to liberty and life.
In short, United States is a nightmarish wasteland surpassed by third world countries a while ago. Mostly because of people like you.

Except that the Baldur's Gate and Neverwinter Nights IP is tied to the D&D license - from Hasbro.
Knights of the Old Republic? LucasArts and Hasbro.
They'd lose Dragon Age, Mass Effect and Jade Empire - and bunch of technology, naturally.

Control + Mouse Wheel.
Or Control + + if you don't have a mouse wheel.
Or View -> Zoom -> Zoom In if both options are inaccessible.
And we haven't heard promises of technology X doing Y spelling the end of Z before?
I'll believe it when they have functional units past the prototype phase at a reasonable cost.
You may only disagree if you post while driving your flying car.

Throwing some hardware at the anti-virus is easy.
Throwing some hardware at it doesn't work for me.
It actually became decently coherent alongside the five last episodes.
The problem were the boring, excessively tiresome twenty six episodes before those last five.
Heretic.

No miracles here; nothing new here either.
And all of those it doesn't apply to.
I wonder if that was intentional.

Europe != homogeneous.
Finland. Not the United States.
Entirely different a legal system.
Unfortunately, political pressures from other countries (notably: United States) means it isn't quite as simple as that.
And lemme guess, you're the ultimate authority on what constitutes a "lazy schmuck"?
Be glad you'll never have any real power, you'd turn anything you'd be running into Somalia in no time at all.

I live in Finland and I've seen plentiful unattractive girls.
But then again, I also know English women, and honestly dude - you've got skewed views, to put it mildly.
Except that the government is the source that paid for the backbone in the first place.
