As to things like the Paris incident, it occurs to me to wonder how easy it would have been to wander through a crowded venue shooting people at random if some of those people had been armed themselves...
One of the immediate changes the French Government has made was to change the law on off-duty police to be allowed to carry their weapons. Up to now, any off duty cop found with his pistol would have been thrown off the force & faced criminal charges. The cop shot outside a café & the police couple shot in the Bataclan pushed Flamby (our name for our ineffectual president) into changing this.
Concealed carry by normal people? I doubt that could ever happen here absent another revolution.
awww, poor little lying twit got his feelings hurt when I dared expose that his anonymous idols are all air. Poor poor you. Grow a pair and learn to reason for yourself junior.
Your thesis that Anonymous has actually done good and performed "good" by outing pedophiles (but sekretly, because you know anonymous) is patently ridiculous. The justification for their supposedly targeting pedophiles was to attempt to prove wrong everyone who calls them a bunch of anarchists with few redeeming characteristics. Any achievements would have been trumpeted. The silence is proof that they have been incapable of doing so with pedophiles & shows that their announcement of "revenge" for attacking innocents will be a similarly empty claim.
As for your "forgetting", when lying you need to establish some credibility to be believed.
Yeah, I know this is/. where many 7 number identifiers cannot be bothered to RTFA, but not even the comments?!?
Reread my comments in the thread and you'd discover that I was arguing that anonymous is unable to do much of anything against the IS just as they have failed to much of anything against pedophiles.
Really? Anonymous' "high level operatives" know how to expose people who are trying to hide & not just taking easy shots at exposed targets like governments & corporations? Then where are all the pedophiles that Anonymous was supposedly busy exposing?
The train ended up partially in a canal and the burned parts I saw were limited to an emerged section with the adjacent submerged section showing no signs of fire. So, really really hard for someone like you to see if the fire was before the accident and easy for everyone else.
The problem is not with data caps per se it is with the fact that US carriers are imposing an ever lower data cap with insufficient competition to allow customers to be able to pick and choose. In other countries with functional competition in the telecom sector this is not the case. Ex: My ISP here in France has a 3Gb/month data cap on 3G Data. On 4G data the data cap is 50 Gb/month and instead of billing all overage they reduce DL speed on those exceeding the data caps.
tlambert ridiculed the fact that RE is still in the lab/prototype phase after 25 years (note that he never claimed that RE has not built anything, just that their progress in 25 years is massively unimpressive).
EdgePenguin claimed that having tested a precooler in a lab is some kind of achievement.
I ask where the flight hardware &/or where the flying prototype is.
You falsely claim that "Parent is replying to a post that said they haven't made anything" & then misrepresent "no flight hardware" (in 25 years...) as being nonsensical when it is precisely the point: When a lab prototype is their only progress in 25 years there is reason to be massively unimpressed.
Tests in a lab for bleeding edge technology like this are not proof that it can work reliably outside the lab. That some in government & industry consider the technology to be interesting does not automatically imply that they believe that the technology is feasible for their claimed access to orbital space. Interest for other uses. such as Hypersonic/Suborbital missiles is more likely.
When RE has flight hardware that has been tested to prove that it can confer cheap & reliable SSTO to orbital space, then I'll be impressed. Their track record so far leads me to believe that this is unlikely to happen in my lifetime. That is my point.
Yes, we all see that you want to make the change seem as catastrophic as possible to make people think that it is impossible to contemplate but that does not make it so.
This is not Censorship+Google/China, this is Browser choice+Microsoft/EU. Microsoft did not pull out of the EU after the EU forced them to present a browser choice at first login. They litigated and implemented the least onerous solution.
Google did not pull out of China because they wanted a diminished security version of android but because because the Chinese govt wanted Google to perform the censorship for them. Google would have needed to implement massive changes to perform the Chinese censorship because they were not architectured to be able to be filter as the Chinese were demanding.
Adding a back door to android/iOS and giving the key to the UKG is a tiny change in comparison & there is no way that A/G would pull out & abandon the hundreds of millions of pounds they make every year should the UKG force them to compromise security. No, like Microsoft they will litigate & if forced to will implement as little as they can.
And again, similarly to Microsoft/EU, the non-standard version will have little uptake and will be abandoned after a few years. Try coming up with a scenario on how the UKG would be able to stop people from using the normal strong crypo versions of android/iOS.
Correction? No, just wishful thinking on your part. Apple, like all companies is driven by profit and will not cut off it's nose (abandon UK sales) to spite it's face (be forced to propose a security compromised version in the UK). Again, the biggest problem for the UKG will probably be in forcing people to use the security compromised version. What are they going to do, force people to "upgrade" on planes/boats/trains coming into the UK?
Google and Apple both know that if they cave to the UK they lose the rest of the world
No. G/A need merely provide a security deficient version of their products for the UK. Actually getting people to use it instead of the secure version is a can of worms that the prime minister has yet to open.
Not so! A quick death makes him much less likely to change his mind and procreate. Soo much better for him to match his rhetoric with immediate action.
Only in shallow water where it is (relatively) easy to fix. The russians are using ROVs to "study" the cables 2 miles down. Snooping on the cables could be done in shallower waters. What, other than looking for spots to cut the cables could the russians be doing two miles down?
That there are mechanisms that make it possible for some animals to fly doesn't mean that pigs can fly. You're trying to perform a similar leap of logic.

Says who? From pictures I've seen any fire was _after_ the accident and pretty limited. Who exactly is spreading this (dis)information?
Above all on weekends when Timothy is at the helm.
My apologies, I replied to the twit throwing around "idiot" & mistook your reply as his. I agree with your positions, not his.
Lol, all that rerationalization from a single line, eh? Naah, you're just a twit attempting to avoid being called out for being transparently wrong.

So where is the flight hardware?
The flying prototype?
Only an idiot would overlook that support which is to say services is precisely the thing TFA was pretending to complain about.
Just how big is your project compared to Linux? There is little point in comparing poppy seeds and coconuts and size has a tendency to enhance trends.

That the UKG can force A/G to make a diminished security product available is clear. That they can force everyone to use it is not.
Google and Apple both know that if they cave to the UK they lose the rest of the world
No. G/A need merely provide a security deficient version of their products for the UK. Actually getting people to use it instead of the secure version is a can of worms that the prime minister has yet to open.

So you've decided to remove yourself from the equation and abstain having children to help diminish overpopulation?
Or is it that (as it so often is perceived) that it is everyone else but not you/your kids that is the problem?
Not Kosovo, Bosnia. The the Serbs folded real quick once NATO decided to stop playing hit the weasel & destroy Serbia's means of supporting it's war.
Anyway, rules avoiding civilian casualties are abandoned in "Real Wars".
