Just because others are taxed higher doesn't mean we aren't over taxed. I'm not saying we are overtaxed, but I think taxes could be lower, or spent more wisely.
I don't know where you get 90% of the population want tighter gun controls, I have not seen that figure before. There are other things that kill more people per year than people with guns (because the guns don't kill, people kill), but where's the outrage for those things? To, I guess I'll say most people, guns are scary, because they don't understand them, they don't understand why anyone would want one, and they don't necessarily want to understand. What I want to see is greater punishment for crimes committed with a gun, the way the government did with so called hate crimes. Punishment for people who allow minors to gain unsupervised control of a gun, would also be a great thing. Making it more difficult for law abiding citizens to gain access to a gun is ridiculous, when it is the criminals with guns who kill people. Even if a normally law abiding citizen snaps and kills someone, there are laws already existing to counter that. Just because it is possible that someone will use a gun to kill someone, doesn't mean that no one should have a gun.
I believe a better answer is for the citizenry to storm city hall. Write petitions, peacefully assemble, carry signs, whatever is necessary for all of the citizens to let city hall know that they need to hire more police. Technology is not always the answer, and invasion of privacy is never the answer.
As far as demonstrations go, surely you saw how the demonstrators were treated during the occupy movements. IMHO that calls for escalation on the part of the demonstrators, but if that happens, we will have an all out revolution going on, and very few Americans are willing to commit to that action.
There's an old saying I remember from my aircraft maintenance days - Aircraft are designed by people with a PhD, built by people with a BS degree, and maintained by people with a GED.
There is no difference whatsoever between Democrats, Republicans, or Terrorists when it comes to TERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRORISM.
There, fixed it for you.
Don't fret about it too much, at least some of those options have toggles. If you don't like a feature you can toggle back to what you're familiar with.
CDOT did a call in of a suspicious object a few weeks ago in Colorado Springs. The suspicious object? A chunk of concrete with the base of a light pole and some wires sticking out of it had been discarded along a two lane country road away from everything and everyone. They had the road closed for ages while the bomb squad checked it out. The real tragedy is that most of the citizenry applaud such overreaction because they feel safer.
Maybe ABC would like to go after Geek Squad for infringing on their show, "Mod Squad" from the late sixties/early seventies. As others have stated, God Squad is nothing like Geek Squad, in name or deed, no one will get confused. Well maybe I shouldn't say no one, there are enogh idiots around that someone may get confused, but a "reasonable person" would not.
Actually, you're a bit misinformed about USAJobs.gov. While it is true that veterans with compensable disability have preference, they must still be qualified for the job. A lack of security clearance isn't a problem unless you are unable to get one due to past history, the government will happily do a background check and if eligible you'll get a clearance. Yes, there are a lot of people applying, but again, if you're the best qualified, you'll get the job, and if the Government is having trouble finding cyberwarriors, none of what you mentioned is an issue, and certainly not worthy of the "interesting" mod your post earned.
Hmmm, that got me to thinking, what if Osama Bin Laden is like Emmanuel Goldstein? Might explain a lot. Sorry to get off topic, but I don't really feel like bashing Apple right now.
Fact is, no one has to buy a ticket from a scalper. If you can't get a ticket at a reasonable price, then don't go to the show. If scalpers stop making money, they'll stop scalping tickets. DON'T SUPPORT THE SCALPERS!
I'm not sure how you ended up with insightful mods. Once Microsoft, Apple, name a Linux Distro, or whatever company releases a new OS, your old hardware is pretty much obsolete. You may manage to hold off for two OS upgrades, but your experience will suffer due to the hardware being too slow for the new OS. With Linux you can hold this off by dropping eye candy, or switching away from Gnome or KDE to a lightweight WM, but unless you like those lightweight WMs, your computing experience suffers.
you were doing fine until you felt the need to bash on the OS. IMHO that was unnecessary and discredited your remarks. Whatever, I've come to expect that from the majority of/. Posters.
Actually, the daughters got Lot drunk, and then got themselves pregnant. The girls were afraid they'd all die in that cave and have no one to carry on the family. Some scholars believe their offspring are the ancestors of the Arabs and Palestinians, and everyone else in the Middle East who persecutes the Jews.
For the Flash issue you really need to find another porn site, and stop blaming it on coursework. Some exist that don't require Flash, and I'm sure you'll be just as happy with those.

38,000 out of nearly 8 billion is hardly worth worrying about.

I'm pretty sure the aliens are coming back next week... on June 24th at a theater near you. "Independence Day: Resurgence"

I'll tell you that if I ever end up in prison, they'll have to put me on a suicide watch, because if I can't live free, I'd rather be dead.

Is your mother's name Gabe Kotter?
They do exist, ThinkGeek has had them for a long time.

Start modding it back down if it doesn't work as advertised.

The Slashdot thing really bothers me, too. It's a shame there's only a handful of Slashdot posters who like the iPad, otherwise it might get fixed.
