    ...because you buy time on modern supercomputers all the time, and can give us the real scoop, right?

    It's a fantasy in as much as the police reporting the "bust" of 4.8m worth of pot, actual street value probably 80k. Or the MPAA/RIAA saying that piracy costs 70 trillion* in lost revenue every year.

    *may or may not be true based on how well we can massage and fudge the fuck out of the numbers.

    Oh come on AC, if you watch the MSM the narrative never changes. Especially with how deep the rot goes between them and the WH these days. It must be nice that your brother/sister/uncle/close friend of whoever works for the MSM but also has family members right up in the highest areas of the WH.

    This is why I constantly fear for my life and don't ever go out after dark in the multicultural hell hole of violence and degeneracy that is Canada.

    You must live in Vancouver, Toronto, Ottawa, London, or Saskatoon then. They're all at varying points of degeneracy and violence, some of them are almost to detroit levels from the 90's. An example: Saskatoon(pop ~260k) has a murder rate than NYC(pop ~8.4m).

    After all the US federal government is no longer enforcing the law for all, but selectively enforcing it. And punishing their enemies by dumping illegals on them. With various letter agencies going after people for being in their legal right.

    I take it you don't have to support an older relative who lives a long distance away who calls you up every time an icon changes location. If Windows is only for the experts then it should be labeled as such, and leave Linux for the beginners.

    Nope, they died last year at the age of 86. Until then I did, and that distance was 3200 miles. Then again, I found that explaining to them before hand that the "icons change" and why they change, and how, makes it much easier.

    Yep, Windows 7 and XP are so fundamentally different in terms of the UI that it *might* have taken you all of 15 minutes to learn the differences.

    And of course if it was Windows 8, it might have taken you all of 10 minutes to install a UI shell which would have made the experience exactly the same. Then again if your internet is the equivalent of a string between two cans, I can see it taking 2-3 days to find this out.

    I could imagine someone twisting the law to prosecute that parent, much like how someone with AIDS who doesn't inform partners.

    I could see it happening today, but back in the 80's the law wasn't developed in cases like that. Though up here in Canada now, it's a criminal offence to infect people, it's also criminal to not inform your partner. Give it a while when we have a massive outbreak of something and you'll see the law adapt to it.

    When one child got sick with it, all the parents gathered their children to the sick child with the hope of catching it.

    Oddly I've heard of this, but I've never actually seen it in practice. My parents never did it, I got infected because some dumbass parent brought their kid to bowling while they were still infectious and everyone got it. It was so pervasive that my middle school was shut down for nearly a month while everyone was off sick with it. It was probably the last great outbreak we've had of it here in southern ontario back in the 80's. Now of course we've got the nutbags not getting their kids vaccinated for measles and that's all over the place.

    I wouldn't want to wish any of these diseases that have vaccines on anyone.
