There are many other ways to get dangerous chemicals as well. For example, if a basic person were to learn a little chemistry, and do a little research, they can make a whole plethora of dangerous, flammable, or explosive chemicals!
This is why, when I create a password I come up with a non-famous phrase, take 1 letter from each word, and add symbols and numbers. That way all I really have to remember is the symbol and number placement, and I have a password that is all but random, yet easy to remember.
I remember mine. It was given to me when I was five. It ran DOS and had enough physical memory that it could ether have the original Civilization game or Lamborghini on it at any point in time. Fond memories those. How about everyone else?
Man, the people they have looking for stuff like this must have just come out of a time loop or something. I could have told them Mario wears a raccoon suite years ago.....
I agree with you similar_name, putting computers together is fun.
As to luis_a_espinal's post: Getting a computer IS a matter of displaying knowledge. If you are not intelligent enough to build your own computer and install the OS of your choice, which is not difficult, it just takes a little research even if you know nothing of it to begin with, how are you supposed to diagnose your computer when something goes wrong? Are you really suggesting that just because someone has the money and a want to buy a computer should, even with no knowledge? That is a recipe for disaster. The person without that basic knowledge of how a tool works is in for a big surprise when they learn that they do not know how to use the product they just bought, or have something on/in it break and not know how to fix it, even if it is a quick and easy fix. A good example is a friend of mine. He spent $80 to hire a professional to fix his speakers. It was a corrupt driver. Something that took minutes to fix, and he ended up spending a lot of money that could have been spent elsewhere, just because he didn't have basic knowledge.
Not true, I am just paying for my entertainment using time instead of money. And yes, I do find tinkering to be quite fun so long as nothing blows up on me. I had a computer do that once, cool to watch, but not productive. I was a kid then though, and since learned that soldering together connections that shouldn't be connected is not a very good idea.
The Anonymous Coward has a point though. The computer I use for school is made of parts from computers people throw away. It may be outdated and sometimes have hardware issues, but it works and is a free computer.
I don't switch because I am a gamer. W.I.N.E. has never worked for me. I used to use Ubuntu when I was in highschool, but even that was a pain. If anyone can point me towards a way to do some high-end gaming with games made specifically for Windows while using Linux, I would be more than happy to switch back after I am finished getting my degree.
After looking at your link, I would drop America's corruption perception index down 3-4 levels and drop Canada's down 2-3 levels. Some of the reasons being that the U.S. is keeps trying to make things better for corporations at the expense of it's citizens, and Canada keeps allowing itself to be bullied into following the example of the U.S. There are many more reasons why I think this, but I want to keep this post short.
Correct me if I am wrong, but isn't it kind of stupid to have a law that allows people to get away with heinous crimes just because they were not caught within a certain number of years? If you can beat a child in the U.S. and not have any legal repercussions so long as a few years go by, I am glad I do not live a country like that.
Indeed, maybe nig- I mean, African-Americans- will evolve the ability to live in an environment without poisoning everything around them. Then again, they aren't nearly as clever as some fish....
Well, freedom of speech here has been exercised. Unfortunately, so has this persons power of racism, lack of manners, and idiocy. It is a shame that there are people like you still around, I thought most modern people were beyond such pettiness.
For something this big, isn't it supposed to be standard procedure to have a vote? I mean, if I thought the Canadian government was stupid enough to sign it in the first place, I would have protested it. I guess that goes to show that you should never trust your own government.

Lets not forget wood chips for the pyromaniacs out there.

THAT is the point I got out of AC's post.

I don't see the point. I was able to get around content blockers when I was a child. I am sure kids today can do the same with a little effort.
