Unfortunately Militia's don't work well for empires. "That is the reason" No, that is a reason, though the most important one in the context of that era. Rights and duties are inverse. I have a duty to defend myself, my family, and my neighbors, and thus have a right to acquire and carry arms to this effect.
1. That's part of it. Look also at the overbearing drug ware which further disenfranchises the poor, and victimless crime laws that create a divide between the police and citizens, and create new markets that support criminal operations. In addition these markets are more likely to be violent as there is no recourse to the courts. It also diverts resources away from dealing with violent defenders. This is in addition to regulation which make self-improvement and mutual aid difficult to practice.
2. No, guns are defense are are larger part of a culture of self-reliance. The facts just don't stack up with your assertion, as those who display thier interest in defense by applying for conceal carry permits are almost never responsible for incidents of gun violence. You know who are? People with a long history of violence or mental illness. Yes I admit the U.S could do a better job are keeping arms away from such people, but unfortanatly simple sensibility has little place in our political system.
3. Suicide by firearms makes up large portion of gun deaths in the U.S. It is tragically more effective for this than any other popular means, so fewer people survive though their attempts at such. However this again speaks of a social problem that is deeper than merely owning firearms. Even so the total rate of suicide is less that most European nations.
I have no problem just executing the games without the desura client. Sure you have to dig a little into the file hierarchy to find the binaries, but you can launch the games without even starting the desura client. Offline mode works fine. Sure it's potentially risky as you might get more than one multiplayer service cut off at once, but it's better than steam where they can cut off everything not just multiplayer.
so I'm quite happy to see the military shrunk and/or disarmed.
Which is ideal, but in the meantime the world is as it is.
it doesn't look like your ownership of firearms has helped you one bit.
Oh dear, firearm ownership is not the only thing that affects crime. It is only a single factor which deters it and obviously not a panacea. Look up Homicide statistics per state. It carries from over 20 per capita in D.C, to less than one in New Hampshire. Demographics and social attitudes towards violence have a larger effect.
That's a highly disputed number. 254 justified homicides not by police in 2008 and I would guess mainly with firearms. [FBI] 266 injuries or deaths from lightning strikes in 2010 [struckbylightning.org]. The assumption with that is you actually need to kill someone to deter them from committing an attack is suspect. Often merely brandishing a firearm is enough to convice a criminal to leave you alone.
The only way you can make the stat work to make swimming pools look more dangerous than guns is by ignoring all deaths but children's deaths. And then blaming the other side for the fact that you did it
I've heard people say, it's worth if if it saves one child. It is an argument that is used and focused on. Even outside of political arguments, most parents are more afraid of their kids being shot than drowning because the former is more shocking. Children are both much more likely to drown and much less likely to be fatally shot that the general population. Comparisons however are not disingenuous because if the arguments are made about children, so the relevant statistics are those specifically about children. Sure I didn't explicitly qualify the last, but I don't think the context was unclear.
Don't have a gun if you're a human being.
I would have fewer objections if you were willing to start with the police and army. If you object that sometimes firearms are sometimes appropriate tools after all, consider the following. The vast majority of gun violence is committed by a small minority that has a history of violence, and they aren't likely to become decent folk if deprived of a firearm. About half the victims are themselves engaged in some sort of criminal activity. Why should the majority give up their most effective defense against that minority?
That's a bad idea. Most of the agents aren't bad people, they are just taking the best job available to them. Congress would be a more deserving test population.
They aren't after the facade of security, they are after control. Considering history there is no limit upon the number of people sociopaths are willing to kill in order to gain and maintain power.
Because terrorists are more shocking than cancers. Just like gun control propaganda focuses on danger to children, when in reality swimming pools are responsible for more deaths.
Sure, but it would add to the hardware costs (which manufacturers are loathe to do), and introduce some odd traces. Sure it's possible, but when 95% of people fall for the software tricks, why would they bother?
The fact not appearing is presumed not to exist. (quod non apparet non est) This is the standard used in courts. It's also a waste of time to act otherwise.
The first stage could be replaced, say if the Open Cores projects came up with and ASIC, however the base band will likely remained locked (even in the small chance it were opened) for legal and financial reasons. Wouldn't be a huge contender in the graphics performance but could be adequate.
This is why I'm not buying a "smart" phone until until they release one with a fully open software stack (excluding the little bit of firmware that controls the cellular modem.)
Probably for different inputs. Perhaps one for clicks and scroll, another to movement. Maybe to different methods of doing it.
Anyways, android doesn't simulate mouse inputs, as it grabs at the touch input layer directly, hence why they changed the claim.
Rhe primary recourse of a TOS violation is to terminate service.
Some of the stuff may count as fraud, way using a fake name on facebook, but it's really a de minimis offense. The damage done is trivial, and the courts really should be bothered with trivia.

254 is for 2007, not 2008

Though there are informal methods such as DRM or server side verification.
No, many jurisdiction ignore EULA's (and rightly so as they are not signed), and rather use the standard implicit license on all copyrighted works.

But controlling the software on the main processor does.
Because It's fairly implausible any carrier would let you set some of the data in it, and again you can encrypt the data-stream.
Sure, but you can encyrpt communications point to point. (ssh tunnel, GPG, or a SIP provider the supports encryption).
This is why I'm not buying a "smart" phone until until they release one with a fully open software stack (excluding the little bit of firmware that controls the cellular modem.)
ADB is probably the best bet.
But many of the drivers and first stage bootloaders aren't

There is already such laws.

FAA, is still usually better than some guy in his backyard. So far as I know UL doesn't do planes.
