They weren't very fond of the Chinese government, which is why they didn't want to live in China any more. I used to think that a lot of Chinese people were like that. Then I read recently that a Western news agency did a survey in China and they found overwhelmingly that while Chinese people didn't think their government was perfect and they thought that there were some important things that they still needed to do, basically everything was negotiable and they were willing to give it up in terms of personal freedom if they kept making good money.
That applies to literally every government, doesn't it?
2. If someone else does, it's their problem. They're not asking you to be their Mommy and tell them what's good (or bad) for them, anymore than you're asking them to be your Mommy....
Then they can pay for it themselves and stop forcing me to pay taxes for it. So SpaceX gets my approval assuming they don't use government grants and contracts to pay for their endeavor. NASA gets my disapproval.
So you sat down and rationally came to the conclusion, based on reason, logic, evidence, that there's no God(s)?
I don't mean to sound confrontational, but I would like to hear your explanation for the origin of the universe.
Just like Creationists, climate change deniers have a REASON to not want to believe the science.
Hi there! You appear to have used an obvious fallacy in an attempt to make yourself sound smart and demonize anyone who might disagree with you.
Such detestable tactics make proper debate-- you know, with citations/evidence and well reasoned arguments-- impossible.
From this I conclude that you're not interested in solving any problems or in educating anyone or in modifying your own beliefs at all. Hypocrite.
Your argument boils down to "It isn't perfect! So do away with it!".
You're arguing that since murder happens anyway it should be totally legal?
You're arguing that underage sex acts should be legalized?
You're arguing that teen pregnancy should be encouraged?
No?
Then it looks like making laws to help enforce morality does have a net effect.
Considering that historically Microsoft has behaved in a perfectly psychopathic and anti-competitive manner (especially regarding the spying revelations of Win10) it seems more like "Microsoft's jihad against Linux and everyone else, especially the end user."
That's true. But engineers smart enough to get a space station into orbit are also smart enough to figure out how to burn it up safely... if they cared or were told to.
No, I think Pseudonymous Powers' post nailed it on the head:
"Oops, I guess we're going to have to do another orbital weapons test."
In a lot of countries around the world, if you have any significant possessions, you have to live inside of a cage to keep from getting robbed.
This is a result of having a shitty culture, isn't it?
The cops in America don't literally, like superman, step in front of thieves just as they're breaking into a house and literally stop them.
The reason shitholes like Brazil and Africa have such insane problems with crime and violence is because the people there either allow it ("meh, not my problem... this time..."), can't prevent it themselves (i.e. because they have no second amendment), or are themselves thieves/murderers who are in turn robbed/killed.

1. If you don't want to go to Mars, don't.
I won't.

Thank you for sharing.
Also, I like your sig.
and I had to convince myself it was all bullshit.

It sounds like you just realized that Catholicism isn't Christianity.
You posted as AC but signed your post anyway? What is wrong with you? Get over yourself.
Agreed. Linus is mah nigga.
In both cases, an illusion of control is maintained.
And that's what sets Christianity apart from other religions (especially Buddhism in this case). Ephesians 2:8-9:
8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:
9 Not of works, lest any man should boast.
Here's a link to buy one in case anyone is too lazy to google.

I would focus on getting such devices to run on full desktop OS's or we will get in the trouble that we had with windows 3.1-ME
What trouble?
What really did the trick was the move to 64bit.
Did the trick? What trick? And why is 64-bit relevant to the trick?
And the rise of Web Applications, allowing a much smoother transition.
A smoother transition from what to what?
But these OS's designed for mobile, will only get us in trouble once mobile devices are on par with our desktop systems.
What?? Why would there be trouble? What kind of trouble? How would mobile devices be on par with desktop systems?
Stop voting for more government power for starters.
They aren't selling to Linux users, if you don't like it, take your business elsewhere.
System76 sells Linux laptops
And so does Dell
Just sayin'
Look, data is easily gleamed & turned into metrics.
Read this, please.
MBP = $1100
Dell Inspiron = $800

Can you read English and do some basic fucking googling?!
You're either a shill or an absolute moron.
I also read about the involvement of a Christian organization on the parents' side, which gave me pause.
Genetic fallacy. Your opinion has been discarded.
Christian extremists don't believe in psychology, they believe in demons.
What's the difference?

Adding to that, both emacs and vim support "undo", another clear advantage over nano.
Incorrect, nano 2.3.5 and up now supports undo/redo.
NO NO NO! The answer is always TABS !!!

Kim Jong Il is dead. His son, Kim Jong Un, is the current leader of NK.
