    It certainly killed original content. I found Katz's pieces rather hit or miss. I think the biggest problem was his being allowed to publish and/or pick topics without any oversight.

    The United States. Race fuel is not taxed. It contains tetra-ethyl lead.

    Depends on your definition of race fuel. And perhaps this is new. But the last time I went to MIR there were two gas stations within three miles that sold high octane (98 (R+M)/2) race fuel. Plenty of taxes.

    Here in the UK, DIN is still a used standard. Walk into an auto parts store, and they will quite happily sell you any number of DIN head units and a mount/adapter kit for your car (if it needs one...).

    It is in the US as well. Seems like a non sequitir by GP.

    Just curious:

    It has been ~11 hours since you made this factually incorrect post. That post has been corrected numerous times starting ~10 hours ago. Is your lack of a reply thanking those posters because you haven't been read the replies yet or is it because as you read them you stuck your fingers in your ears and said "lalalalalalalalalala I CAN'T HEAR YOU!"?

  23. Re:Stallman would have something to say about this on Call Yourself a Hacker, Lose Your 4th Amendment Rights · · Score: 1

    My pistols aren't registered, either. I think that's only in a few zany states, like New York and Illinois.

    It depends on how you define 'registered'. Many pro-2a types (I lean in this direction) consider the ATF form 4473 a form of registration. Given that they are not destroyed after use and (I'm not 100% on this next bit) computerized at some point, this can be considered registration. It is somewhat analogous to the discussion regarding 'penalty' vs. 'taxation' in the ACA.

    So if we agree with the 4473 being registration, almost every handgun and many long guns are in fact registered in the US. Not even close to 'all' but far, far more than 'none'.

    The dispute over the meaning of 'hacker' has been going on so long, there's a wikipedia page on the subject.

    It's on a computer, therefore it was probably written by hackers. Furthermore, the general public knows that all hackers are doing illegal stuff and can launch missiles from a payphone with a poptop can. They problem invented this fake controversy in order to fool the unwitting into believing their propoganda.
