I know in DC you must have a permit for a handgun and you must store it field stripped. If you have a handgun stored assembled in DC, you're breaking the law.
"The year after the Supreme Court struck down the District of Columbia's handgun ban and gun-lock requirements, the capital city's murder rate plummeted 25 percent. The high court should keep that in mind today as it hears oral arguments about a Chicago handgun ban. "
This guy would have lasted about 3 minutes in my neck of the woods, where quite a few *law-abiding* citizens have legal concealed carry permits. Do you realize how many times you have to reload to kill 26 people with a standard 12ga shotgun?
Let me guess, you couldn't get back to Maztica / Athkatla after a certain point in the quest?
I eventually finished the game, but that was the bug that stuck in my head, especially with the Devs on the forums poo-pooing multiple people having the same issue.
Last time I checked, we live in a capitalist society where companies that succeed, in one way or another, are rewarded and companies that fail, for whatever reason, are supposed to go out of business.
That's funny & stupid at the same time, because while I don't always agree with circletimessquare, he's about as far away from Karl Rove as you can get.
Yeah, they are. I'm not sure about other countries, but in the US treaties are even higher than the constitution. Which I don't quite get, seeing as the power to participate in treaties comes from the constitution, at least for us.
No they aren't. This is the lie they want you to keep repeating until it becomes the truth.
The Constitution is supreme over laws and treaties; it expressly states (Article VI, Section 2) that: "This Constitution, and the Laws of the United States which shall be made in Pursuance thereof; and all Treaties made, or which shall be made, under the Authority of the United States, shall be the supreme Law of the Land . .." This means that any such Law (Act of Congress) which violates the Constitution is automatically made null and void to start with--nullified by the Constitution itself--and therefore cannot be a part of the "supreme Law of the Land." This is also true as to treaties.

The thing is, if the kid doesn't have an urge to create as opposed to just consuming, it doesn't matter what you expose him to. If you don't have the creative urge, you just aren't going to be interested in coding.
Yeah, I was thinking the same thing. I'm lucky if my friends even know what a firewall is & I've given up trying to get them to use NoScript. I just charge them to clean their PCs now.

Zing!
What part of this post is flamebait?
The difference is we don't actually need dead trees to be informed anymore.

You misspelled corporatist.
You can't copyright facts, but thanks for playing!
Because destroyed is destroyed, kid.
Sounds almost like Stockholm Syndrome to me.
If this doesn't make your blood boil, then you are probably a crooked cop.

Good luck getting to the kids if they are on Mars.

Pretty sure they go into beef hotdogs & bologna. Perhaps dog food as well?
Hence the reason you have so many jihadists coming out of Saudi Arabia & so many "revolutionary armies" raiding villages in Africa.

Here is a little hint for you. The dangerous hackers, the ones that are actually committing crimes in the wild, don't go to hacker competitions.
I'd buy tickets to see that.

Grab a decent HOSTS file & stick it in your %SystemRoot%\system32\drivers\etc\
Alternatively, you can install Spybot & let it's Immunize function generate a HOSTS file for you.

Don't these idiots have other things to do? Something about an oil spill?
