I don't think the blood is that tasty. More German soldiers died attacking/fighting Russia during WWII than U.S. soldiers have died from battle in our entire history. And that says nothing about the much larger numbers of Russian soldiers and civilians that died in the same conflict (tens of millions of civilians!).
Nah, 50% is easy. There are, roughly speaking, 1 million violent crimes per year in the U.S. (many of which will not involve guns).
You don't need to combine the deer harvest from too many states to get a similar number. And that probably doesn't really account for the majority of recreational shooting.
I'm glad I'm not the only one. The fine motor control required to aim a gun doesn't actually match the fine motor control required to manipulate a thumbstick, but at least the thumbstick requires fine motor control.
The tone of your comment is strange, BP wasn't subcontracting to Transocean as some sort of legal or accounting ploy, they were subcontracting to Transocean because it was cheaper than building and operating their own rig. And it is quite clear at this point that the contracts were structured in such a way that BP was responsible for what went on, they have had little to no success trying to recover money from the subcontractors.
Nah, people are getting a lot better at moving their "My Pictures" folder from computer to computer, and also at not only having 1 copy of it. Sometime 20 years from now, user workstations will probably even usually have fault-tolerant file systems running on storage hardware that provides much more fault tolerance than current drives (which actually don't do all that badly when you start thinking about how the storage works and the retail prices).
I thought I did a good job of avoiding the smallest-is-bestest trap.
Anyway, I would argue that gangs are an indication that a society is not functioning properly (or "social issues that are not well-solved by the populace"), so it is a little much to call your response to my statement an argument, when you say that we need government to address such things, you are agreeing with what I said.
I don't really understand how this is a reply to my post. To clarify, when I say "de-structure nation states", I mean that the goal of any sane society should be to have as little government as is necessary to be safe and prosperous. Nation-states enjoy way to much power in this day and age, and they are only taking more of it.
And when I say safe, I don't mean as free as possible of violence and death and damn the rest, I mean as free as possible of violence and death without trampling all over self-determination. So government probably needs to exist, in order to deal with bad-actors and to arbitrate certain disagreements and to bring bureaucratic focus to social issues that are not well-solved by the populace, but when you realize that it has the power to make powerful agreements with people halfway around the world, maybe you start thinking about chopping off some of its fingers.

It must really piss you off that he is a senator.

So if I understand extrapolation correctly, you are saying that any game anybody tries on Linus will work just fine.
HOW COME MY GAME DOESN'T WORK?
Rather, your assumption that they are doing this because of reasonable people is hilarious.
As we speak, an optimistic slug is oozing his way towards a nice canoe-sized tree.

Look some more. Deepwater Horizon used an actively managed thruster system for station keeping, it was free floating (except for the drilling casing).

There is a fairly high chance here that you are selling natural languages other than English awfully short.
Sure, you can run a fault tolerant fs today, but it isn't a transparent feature of most operating systems.
I suppose time-machine is pretty transparent, and people get the idea there.
How many of them do that again a couple of years later?

If you promise to do a bunch of hilarious stuff and also wear it at trial, I'll buy you some paint.
Do any of them show any promise at all?
You are missing out on how exciting some pacemakers are; if your heart rate gets too high, they start beeping at you.
If you are going to shove words into my post, shove the words I was replying to into my post:
Could it be that the job is simply to complex for most non-professionals and that the open source model has reached the end of it's useful life?
Your post would make sense if the majority of the work done on Webkit and Firefox was not done by professionals.
If your going to mingle the English, be doing it to excretion!
The IRS doesn't care where you get your income from, and they expect you to pay your taxes.
Still, there are plenty of people here who do think WoW is stupid.

I think geography does a pretty good job explaining why the U.S. remained relatively neutral.
I'm not sure I would take the propaganda explanation real far anyway, the fall of the French was more due to Panzers than propagandized nationalism.
Or do you actually mean to paint German aggression as revisionist?
It sounds like you should introduce both sides to your 12 gauge friend.
