In what world can owning a car be compared to owning a gun? Quick reminder: one is designed to go from one place to another, the other is designed to kill other people.
In this world. Comparisons are made about things that are not identical, silly.
Was it the south where those kids were beat to death for walking into the wrong neighborhood? Nope that was NJ. Race riots? IL, CA, nope not southern either. Was it the south where they beat a gay kid and left him to bleed and freeze to death? Nope again.
While I agree with the general premise of your post, pointing out examples of violence from other communities does not in any way prove anything about the South. The fact that 17, 29 and 53 are prime does not prove 3 not to be prime.
You're making a VERY big assumption that the updates are fixing more bugs than they are introducing.
Not at all, if you read my original comment again. I merely pointed out that in the absence of updates and in the presence of a latent bug, the cumulative probability of the bug rearing its head increases.
And how is an upgrade supposed to fix that? If you're talking about slow os corruption, then simply creating a backup mirror of everything but the data (which is backed up separately) would be even better.
I was not talking about OS corruption. I meant simple failures like all terminals locking up because a race has just materialized. An update that fixes the race condition, well..., fixes the bug.
So you no longer need a computer to "access the cloud"? And here I was labouring under the impression that the majority of support jobs were related to hardware faults, OS problems, malware and user error, how "the cloud" will stop this happening is a mystery.
The dumber the terminal, the fewer hardware faults, OS problems and malware, no?
Although in practice we can expect a dumbing down of the user base too:).
No criticism of you, I also failed to realize that I could educate myself if I chose to do so. For a bright, ambitious child with access to an adequate library, teachers are superfluous.
Yes, because the world's biggest library (the internet) has produced an abundance of self taught geniuses.
It hasn't, but doesn't this simply reflect small numbers of "bright, ambitious children"?
The idea of generating power from your shoes is a silly one. Are you going to run wires from your shoes to the pocket your phone is in?
But you don't necessarily need wires. You could have a small battery, say the size of an SD card, in the sole of the shoe. Once a similar battery in your phone is low on juice, you'd swap it for the one that lived in the sole of your shoe for the last 6h.

Fair enough.

countries with sane gun control laws have much lower gun death rates than the USA
what does that fact mean to you?
To me it means you don't get the whole correlation is not causation thing.
I don't know if polygamous sexual bonding occurs in nature or not.
Let me introduce you to gorillas :).

FTFY.
Weird shit. I always assumed that "his next move will be to counteract my ATTEMPT to beat whatever he did on that round" was the entry-level strategy.
When your opponent loses, his next move will be to beat whatever your move was on that round.
I'm sorry to say that, but you must have been playing really dumb people.

WTF? Software isn't subject to physical wear like an engine. Do you think friction will eventually turn a 1 into a 0 somewhere in the code?
No, but if there's a race condition that occurs once in a blue moon, the cumulative probability of trouble can increase monotonically with time.
You're right. Eddie Murphy's law then.
Roger Moore's law.
95% of the time people make up random statistics based on what they believe instead of what is real
Max recursion depth exceeded.
saying that a business is 'crime' is strange at least, since people use them voluntarily
People get into Ponzi schemes voluntarily too. I don't think this is a good argument.
Was it discovered using something besides imaging and spread radar, such as point radar?
Imaging of data gathered in a chronosynclastic infundibulum, AFAIK.

there are plenty of times you don't carry a phone, but would wear a watch. ....
Really? Like what. I cannot think of one. That even includes swimming!
1) In an airplane during take-off.
2) In the US embassy.
3) During a game of badminton.

Wouldn't frying the stock marker help the economy?
They'd just use a different marker, or switch to chalk and blackboard.
These damn countries listed practically invented warfare
You mean humanity did not know warfare before either of {Syria, Libya, North Korea, Iran} came into being? You're funny.
