It's quite arrogant for we Americans to assume all the worlds events are all about us!
Not really so much when we go poking our nose into everybody else's business around the globe while refusing to sign all the treaties that would make the same rules apply to us....The events aren't *about* us, we just like to tell everybody what to do, apparently.
While the writing style is rather lurid, I think my biggest complaint with this article so far is that they say, "He also made a vow never to harm a member of the public in his criminal escapades.

If firing an RPG is a guaranteed way to get hit with several belts of radar/IR guided 50 caliber machine gun fire--you might have a really hard time finding people willing to pull the trigger.
Erm...have you been totally ignoring the Middle East for like the last 50 years?
when American nationalism/patriotism/whatever frequently includes claims of the best democracy in the world, a government "of the people, by the people, for the people", etc.
Have you ever noticed that the countries that proclaim their democracy the loudest usually aren't? "Democratic People's Republic of..."
Only certain things in the images were blurred, though. He transposed e.g. people from separate timeframes into the same image. With standard expectations, either everything that moved would be blurred or nothing would; there would not be some of each.
Interestingly, it's been X11 since 1985/6, according to Wikipedia. If this was a Google product, we would be on ~X190 by now, going off of Chrome's numbering.

I can just imagine how Putin would react if they caught a special forces team trying to nab him.

So where did you go?

I've never been clear on whether the 'fact' that Chewbacca does *not* live on Endor was part of the joke or not.

Yeah, because when riots break out we just nuke the city.
"They chopped off his hands and feet and rolled him into the bog."
"They pick pretty hard around here..."
I can still drive a Model T on the highway;
If it's a "classic car" they let you just ignore all the safety standards? And would it run on unleaded?
You're using "hip and cool" and "Fortran" in the same sentence?
Hmmm...never thought of that one. I've usually seen it spelled 'welch.'
Anyone experienced with real time graphics and video will have not just
So a fairly small minority.
If the artifact / video error is affected by some other object's properties (say, forgetting to pop a matrix stack, or clear a stencil, etc)
