    terrorism
    [ter-uh-riz-uh m]
    noun
    1. the use of violence and threats to intimidate or coerce, especially for political purposes.
    2. the state of fear and submission produced by terrorism or terrorization.
    3. a terroristic method of governing or of resisting a government.

    So, what terrorism has the FBI engaged in, please cite sources. Since I am such a naive little child, you should be able to find many cases of the FBI engaging in terrorism.

    The parent to my comment was stating that there were:

    You can buy a 4TB 2.5" 7mm z-height SSD right now. Or a 16TB 15mm.

    I can't say that I have ever heard of a SSD as large as 4 or 16 TB. You would be talking about multiple SSDs to achieve that kind of size. You are linking to a spinning rust drive, not a SSD, and even it isn't 4 or 16 TB.

    It's just cheaper to use good old fashioned bombs or nukes.

    You just reiterated what I said. That is exactly what I was saying, it makes no sense as a weapon to hit a enemy country, it costs too much, and has no accuracy. The amount of energy you would need to put into the asteroid wouldn't be worth it.

    Orbital bombardment is great against a whole planet, but targeting a strike against only your enemy is unlikely to be effective.

    Chelyabinsk was a wake up call to the Russians. The belt is chock full of nuke-scale explosive ordinance (rocks + velocity + impact = boom).

    I'll give you a hint, the rocket you would need to change the orbit of a belt asteroid would contain more energy than you would achieve from hitting a city with it.

    FYI, just for your edification, and hopefully to squash your misunderstanding.

    The Yazidis recently on a mountain being attacked by ISIS were Christians. They are people of the book, ISIS doesn't care though, they are out to kill anyone who doesn't believe exactly as they do, even Muslims who are more moderate are beheaded by ISIS.

    I got an alert about PDF and video files last night. I was a bit confused and assumed it was an attempted virus attack as I don't have a PDF reader to the best of my knowledge unless Office takes over PDF reading when it is installed.

  16. I would be surprised if there was any jurisdiction where 18 wasn't above the age of consent, after all at 18 you can vote, and if that isn't a more important decision, I would be surprised as well.

  17. So, the information is inconvenient, and you decide to instead attack the source? Did you have no response to the part about all the traffic being normal network stack traffic? When I have looked into the claims of spyware, I found that the traffic being pointed to is the IPv6 Teredo stuff, which can be turned off. But you can feel free to ignore all those sources you think are biased, but it will be difficult to find any sources you wouldn't find biased...

    APK, declaring something to be does not make it so. No matter how many times you try to claim you have exposed tech blunders (that don't actually exist except in your mind) or lies, it doesn't make it suddenly true. You still are saying the exact same things, but have yet to actually answer anything. Here is the string:

    So, when will you submit to a code review?
    Why would anyone "steal" your software...you know the same software you offer for free?
    Why is it acceptable for you to utilize other people's host file records in your product, but you are terrified people will steal your software?
    Why do you persist in talking about the name resolution performance of the favorites section of your hosts file while glossing over the considerable performance loss to anything not in the hosts file?
    Why do you persist in talking about how DNS servers are vulnerable to attacks, but totally gloss over hosts file performance being abysmal in Windows?
    When will you start seeking treatment for the obvious psychological disorders that cause you to stalk and harass people who try to help you improve?

    Your constant attacks don't bother me one bit, I find them to be hilarious. Keep it up, I can do this all day.
