I dunno about you but I'd gladly take the tradeoff of a gun that fires 99.999% of the time when I want it to if it also fires 0% of the time if someone wrestles it out of my grasp or some less responsible member of the household somehow manages to get a hold of it and starts messing around with it.
In testing, the armatix iP1 failed more like 50% of the time. Would you buy a gun that costs between 3 and 5 times what a dumb handgun costs and fails that often? Also, it apparently requires 15 minutes before first bullet on boot up, are you willing to wait that long to defend yourself?
No one has been sued for millions of dollars for downloading a copy. Now, making the cracks/copies available to millions of people, sure that could get you a huge fine.
My first computer was a Commodore 64/128. I have been around for all of it. I am aware that it was from far before 1995, that was the whole point I was making, that in 1995, in the movie Hackers, it was already well known. So yes, VR is much older than 20 years ago, which was exactly the point I was making.
I don't agree that I have much say in the running of my country. I vote, but frankly as I live in a state that always goes blue, my vote is less than wasted, so I always vote third party as a protest against both the parties.
That article seems to go through it. China told Kim Jong Un to chill out after the last bomb was detonated, they are starting to tire with the hostility coming out of NK.
Is NK used a nuke, China would no longer support them, in which case it would be another Iraq. They don't have the weapons or military strength to actually resist the US without China's help.
I am actually surprised that there weren't already nukes in SK. I just always assumed we had some sitting on our bases there and that was the reason for Kim Jong Un's temper tantrums all the time.
Considering that two out of three of those positions are against libertarianism, I can't imagine how you got there.
SJW - Wants to tell people how to act and live to further the cause of feminism or minority exceptionalism Homophobes - Wants to tell people how to act in their own bedrooms.
However, men's rights activists are all about giving men the same rights as everyone else, which appears to be a position you don't understand in the least from all your prior history.
Because to Liberals, the ability to control every aspect of other people's lives is bread and butter.
You do realize that the Left does exactly the same stuff as what you accuse the conservatives of doing right?
Obama's definition of compromise when the budget was being debated way back was "you do what I want or else", how is that any more compromising? He had his press secretary literally called conservatives terrorists because they wanted to negotiate budget priorities.
“We are for cutting spending, we are for reforming our tax code, we are for reforming entitlements,” Mr. Pfeiffer told CNN’s Jake Tapper. “But what we are not for is negotiating with people who have a bomb strapped to their chest.”
"I won't negotiate with you while you are refusing to sign my budget", that is what that says.
2015 (it is still the beginning of 2016..) - 20 = 1995. It wasn't emerging is my point, it was mainstream back then. You are agreeing with me, you just don't seem to realize it.
Who cares if it is obscure, it was my first thought when MBGMorden said 20 years ago.
Exactly, terrorism consists of creating terror. Currently, they are not committing terror, they are holed up in a building. They didn't bomb a building, or shoot a bunch of people.
That is a good point. I would like to challenge silentcoder to please point to New Mexico on a map and name its capital.
Please point to that phrase.
An AC I replied to used that phrase, I did not.
And nothing you won't let them do to you or your government should you allow your government to do them.
I have no control over individual choices the government makes. The US is a representative democracy, not a direct democracy. We vote for people, not issues, despite what the media says. I can't directly tell anyone what to do or not to do, I can let my rep and senators know my opinion, but they will ignore it.
I don't disagree with the statement, I feel that it is too soon to say if it causes headaches and nausea, therefore it was trollish, it assumes something that no one could know yet.
It is also a troll because it is attributing the negatives of other products to a product that worked very hard over a number of years to remove thaos negative aspects in their own product.

No one is against smart guns. People are against unreliable, and expensive "smart" guns, and against state mandates for their use.
I used to love to play with large magnets and CRTs, the more recent CRTs had a degauss button that would fix anything that a magnet did.
it includes functions like "turning" and "stopping" which can be invaluable in certain circumstances.
Which is a wonderful point, except that those functions are not regulated by a computer and have manual backups.
Companies also do some funny things to pirates:

A while back, I was reading about a game that if you pirate it, you turn into a pirate in the game, but I didn't see the game in a Google search.

The other two, are you sure they are legal sources?

Nation killers? That is a little hyperbolic, unless you think we are intending to bomb one of those tiny city sized nations.
Oh, and I believe I saw some aluminum tubes in a satellite photo of N. Korea... so....
They plan to make some thermite?

You really think they have the supplies stockpiled for more than a week of war?
I just don't see it, but I will concede that you likely know more about it than I do.

There is a whole city dedicated to trade and cooperation between the Koreas. It hasn't helped the situation any though.

People will keep checking their phones, no one will be able to tell when their phone actually rings...that is beyond evil.
like SJW men's rights activists or homophobes

This AC links to a picture to the production house's response to the laugh track concern for BBT. No, they don't use one.
VR has been "emerging" for the last 20 years.
