Video phones in the 80s would have been awful, the bandwidth wasn't there to support it. Skype video however is extremely popular now for people to communicate with family and friends while traveling.
Did you ever replace that 400hz computer you claim to run so much faster with hosts files?
Perhaps if you spent a couple hundred on a new computer, you could stop being worried about the difference in memory usage of Adblock vs you Hosts file.
Oh, and did you ever get out of your mother's basement?
According to the cleared the neighborhood part of the definition, Jupiter and Earth (at least) aren't planets either. Jupiter has the trojan and greek asteroids in its orbit, it has not managed to clear them out either. Earth has various asteroids that coorbit the sun, some of them near L4 and L5, and some on weird approaching/retreating orbits. There are also the comets that seem to pass the orbits of most of the planets, those haven't been cleared by even Jupiter.
The definition is a very odd one to use.
Also, wouldn't you expect that a body with life on it should be classified as a planet, even if it is orbiting Jupiter?
Computers' first major applications were military. Calculating trajectories for nuclear missiles etc.
Do you perhaps mean artillery there? Nuclear missile trjectories don't need to be calculated as they can steer and have propulsion. Artillery pieces however...
The places with the highest rates of gun violence all have bans on guns.
That line was talking about "in the US", it was not meant to apply to the whole world, perhaps I should have worded it differently. The rest of my comment was pointing out that even in places where there are no legal guns there are still these mass murders.
The US has had a steadily declining gun violence issue, the problem is though that the US has a high rate of suicide (6.7 per 100,000), and guns being convenient, they are used quite often.
The rate of gun violence in the US is actually quite low (10 per 100,000), but every mass shooting of unarmed people hits the news. However, all the gang violence that makes up most of the statistics of gun murders never hits the news. It is a social problem, not a gun control problem. In every city in the US with strict gun laws, there is a huge murder rate; Chicago, Detroit, DC, Baltimore. Where guns are common in the US, the violence rates are extremely low.
When gun violence is so rare a way to die, why do we make such a big deal out of it?
Funny how the Australian gun crackdown has a big correlation to the complete lack of massacres since 1996.
There was a massacre just last year. That it was classified as a terrorist attack really doesn't change that there was a mass shooting last year in Australia, not none since 1996.
Guns are forbidden on military bases like the Virginia navy yard (that has had two shootings). The only guns being carried there are the ones the MPs carry. Our solders for the most part can't have guns on military bases, it has to do with the restriction on military operations on US soil.
The places with the highest rates of gun violence all have bans on guns. Please prove me wrong, show me how taking away everyone's guns will make everyone safer, but every time I read news about shootings, it is in places where people aren't allowed to carry guns.
I clicked on the ad on Slashdot for a robotics kit, I thought it would be a great Christmas gift for the kids. Unfortunately they were all sold out though.
Not only do I do GUIDES you told me YOU LEARN FROM
Um, making stuff up now? I said I use DISA STIGS to secure systems, that doesn't mean I use anything you wrote, and it doesn't mean I don't do creative things (like stealing other people's hosts file lists, writing some script to combine them, and a program to manage it and calling it my own...not creative in the least).
You fixed the CIS benchmark tool? Then why do I see nothing giving you credit for doing so?
I have already stated I don't need to prove myself to you to know how competent I am, I don't act like I know everything like you, I post links to things which show what I am talking about.
You however still believe that your hosts file gets around DNSBL even though it has been explained to you on numerous occasions that it does not. http://slashdot.org/comments.p... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/... Please explain how you get around a DNS Black (hole) list. I would love to hear the explanation from a security expert like you about how you get by a server side protection from Spam.
As far as I have seen you are trying to claim that I am confused about what a DNSBL is, while I am pointing you at citations that a DNSBL isn't something you can get around.

If you were in Salem maybe, but most of the US never had any issue with witches.
I think you might be confusing patents with copyright. Patents aren't eternal in the same way that the copyright on Steamboat Willy is eternal.
You mean not all enterprise architects make $30k?
Will we have to run hosts files on Pluto though?
There are only 8 countries on the planet, all the other ones are dwarf countries.

Sure, as long as the atheists stop trying to convert everyone.

I meant in the US, not the world, it was in reply to a comment referencing the population of the US, I should have used different wording.

You mean like the one that happened in Sydney?

France and Australia have had a couple incidents recently while being "gun free countries", that would tend to disagree with your line of reasoning.
I think the firing range comment was about:
http://www.cnn.com/2013/02/03/...
Which was most likely a result of PTSD, as they were at the range trying to help the vet get through his PTSD issues.

If gun control is the answer, why is it that in at least two countries where NO guns are allowed, there are still mass shootings?
OMG, thank you, I will have to read through that when I get home tonight, it appears to be quite entertaining.
