Linux doesn't run all the other Windows only software that they use. Do you think the uptake on the desktop of Linux, something that costs nothing and has been around for 2 decades, would be so low if it was a just drop in replacement?
I haven't changed my mind. I made a throwaway remark that suggested that there was no link between gun ownership and low crime. I'm not sure what point you thought I was making.
Don't argue with nuclear nutters. It's all perfect and anything that goes wrong is irrelevant because reasons. Personally I don't trust anyone with technology that can do that much damage. You have to do it right and not cut corners which seems to be a problem for pretty much every country whether the government or the private sector does it.
Like France for example. Yes I can see that on the Wikipedia page. There is likewise no convincing evidence that widespread gun ownership lowers crime because crime is dependent on all sorts of factors.
Yemen has high gun ownership but is a very dangerous place to live because it's a very poor country.
Switzerland has high gun ownership but is a very rich country that looks after its citizens so is a very safe place to live.
South Africa has higher gun ownership than the UK but is far more dangerous because there is a much wider gap between rich and poor.
Guns are not magic wands that make crime disappear. The idea that you can't drive a car without a licence because you'd be a danger to others but pretty much anyone except convicted criminals can buy lethal military weapons in a supermarket and use them without any training at all just sounds like madness to me.
There was no such law here in the UK and yet banks here were falling over themselves to lend stupid amounts of money to people who had no hope of paying it back.

I wanted an internet connected device that gets regular security updates with a screen smaller than 5in. Any good Android devices fit the bill?
Is the death rate significantly higher in Europe?
You've stated on here before that you don't believe in charity. Humbug!
But that's because you'd rather see people die in the gutter than hand over a penny, Scrooge. Are there no prisons? Are there no workhouses?
OS X comes with VNC. You configure it via the system settings. Windows comes with RDP. You configure it via the system settings.

Read the post I initially replied to and my initial sarcastic response.

Ok Yemen then or Mexico our ask the other fine examples of the magical power of guns.
Leverage? You mean use.
There are several ad blockers for Safari on iOS.
Legal gun ownership is why South Africa it's such a safe place to live.
Yeah no one from the entertainment industry could ever be president.
Nah Swindon, UK.
£280 a day. Not bad for dead tech. I haven't done any COBOL for 12 years so I don't think I'd be much use to them.
It's still not dead. I got an email from a recruiter about a COBOL contract yesterday.
The Linux desktop developers did a better job than SCO ever could have.
I already live in a country with universal health care and it's not even close to being like Cuba. Why do you turkeys keep voting for Christmas?
Yeah universal health care will never work. It's never even been tried before.
Ridiculous beards and shit tattoos from birth no doubt.

As soon as it develops an Austrian accent shut it down quickly.
Pray I don't alter it any further.
