I'm going to go ahead and mention the guards at the concentration camps.
The low-level people are the edifice of tyranny. The super genius evil mastermind has nothing without henchmen. Politicians and tyrants have nothing without jack-booted thugs. And our little self-righteous think-of-the-children tyrant wannabes in the west are nothing without the army of "low-level people" keeping the surveillance state running.
The low-level people just shrugged and violated the law and everyone else's privacy this whole time. Now all-a-sudden they feel exposed and endangered when the same is done to them?!
The Golden Rule applies just as much to low-level people and tyrants as it does to children in a school yard and adults on the street.
4) Cost me additional money (mobile bandwidth) to load.
They didn't take electronic bandwidth, but they did cost you money. That space on the paper could have been filled with content instead.
6) Take up 80% of the page, requiring me to flip page after page to read a sentence or two surrounded by half a dozen ads.
Actually, I seem to remember seeing broadsheets and newspapers that did have quite a lot of ads on them. The newspapers I've seen that weren't almost covered with ads were subscription papers-- but even they had quite a few ads on them.
If you own any modern electronics then you're just as guilty of using slave labor as the Founders.
If you own any gold (i.e. in any of those modern electronics) then you're just as guilty of using slave labor as the Founders.
If you own any product made using diamonds (i.e. diamond abrasives) then you're just as guilty of using slave labor as the Founders.
Look, the Founders gave you a country that's free-er than any country has ever been-- ever.
How about being grateful and showing some respect instead of complaining that the Founders weren't absolutely perfect in every way according to your twenty-first century ego-centric values?
The specific gun that blindseer was referring to was, if I recall, a 1911 printed using sintered metal. A 1911 costs considerably more than a hi-point.
The key difference between French fries and assault rifles is that the later's only purpose is to make killing people easier.
How does this change the fact that more people die from being fat (French Fries) than from being shot?
It doesn't.
So your sad attempt at moving the goal posts or changing the topic is... sad.
1. I didn't say Atheism is an organized religion.
2. There have been atheistic governments-- case in point: the USSR.
3. A government isn't one person, it's many. But your same argument that one instance/person doesn't characterize the whole should also be kept in mind when demonizing the Church over certain misdeeds during the middle ages. Over the course of a thousand years every institution will err and often will err greatly.
4. Yes, actually atheism is by definition an overarching ideology.
5. I'm not saying the Church is infallible, nor that it didn't cause some problems during the middle ages. I'm just saying that a) the "dark ages" weren't the result of the Church brutally stamping out all knowledge as some would claim and b) that the "dark ages" were neither metaphorically nor literally dark.
What the church brought was stagnation and illiteracy.
Prove the following:
1. That any such stagnation occurred.
2. That any such stagnation was an intentional goal of the Church at the time.
Anyone caught translating the bible was burned at the stake.

All knowledge was reduced to religious dogma including the mistaken ideas of the ancients.
1. [citation needed]
2. The knowledge of the ancients was pretty much already steeped in religious dogma.
Preserving the bad ideas of the Greeks may or may not have been a good thing. We might have been better off flushing the whole thing and starting over completely from scratch.
Then why are you accusing the Church of destroying knowledge as though a) it was a thing that happened on purpose and b) like it was a bad thing even though you yourself don't seem to think it was bad?
The real problem was not being able to challenge bogus crap for 1000 years.
I'll remember this next time someone shouts down another for questioning global warming-- or was it "climate change"?
Contrariwise, there's a lot of evidence that certain modern, "scientific", and atheistic governments have destroyed and censored knowledge (I've linked only a few obvious and famous examples but there are others).
No WiFi and only 10/100 ethernet... It's like they TRIED to make the device suck. If they're not going to provide either WiFi or 1Gb ethernet then this is just speaks volumes of the competence of the team behind Jaguar
USB 2.0... It's 2016 and this is an x86 device. USB 3.0 really should be standard especially if you're not going to provide SATA or 1Gb ethernet or WiFi. Come on, put something nice on the board.
4 IO ports... Holy moley! They completely missed the point of the IoT movement and SBCs in general.
No SATA... sure, these are hard to find on SBCs, but wouldn't it make sense on an x86 machine?
HDMI port... great job, Jaguar team, you managed to hit one of the the bare minimum requirements.
$65 -- You gotta be kidding me. There's cheaper boards out there with more support, more features, and more performance.
Here, for only ten dollars more you can have a machine that curb-stomps the Jaguar: It's called an ODROID XU4. You're welcome.
1. It takes about ten years for any programming language to get good. Look at C++, Java, C# and everything else.
2. Rust has a lot of really good ideas with a lot of potential.
3. My only problem with it right now is that it seems like everything is wrapped in a promise so I end up calling "unwrap()" on just about every function call-- extremely obnoxious! This may just be a noob mistake on my part, perhaps with experience I'll learn idioms that obviate the need to "unwrap()" everything.
I won't answer your question directly because I know that the very next post will merely deride me for my choice rather than bringing anything constructive to the table.
I do have a "favorite" and I'm well aware that my favorite isn't perfect and has been hypocritical at times or has certain views with which I don't agree.
But nobody's perfect, and nobody but me will ever agree with me 100% of the time.
So I don't let the perfect be the enemy of the good-- especially when my favorite wouldn't impose upon me any of the things with which I disagree.
Don't just vote Republican. Vote for someone who has a record of keeping promises to increase our liberty and decrease government power, taxation, and spending.
1) Just because Eich hates gay people doesn't necessarily mean he hates women too. Just because both groups are traditionally crapped upon by the conservative mainstream doesn't mean every member of said mainstream thinks identically. No such thing as a collective hive mind yet, after all.
Just because he doesn't think the state should subsidize gay marriage doesn't mean he hates gays. I don't think the state should subsidize tobacco but I don't hate smokers.
3) Some people are simply happy to compromise and throw out any principle if they think there's money to be made.
Or maybe they're actually just practicing tolerance.

Everything else you said was true though.
"I only intend to improve the cybersecurity of the government while doing everything I can to undermine the security of regular peon-- er-- people."
Yes, that's true. I hope my point still carries weight, though.

Why is it so much more expensive in the UK? Are there crazy high taxes over there? Weird regulations? Some lawsuit thing? Why?

Churches attitude toward [secular] knowledge was pretty much indifference.
Just as it should have been.
Just as most scientists are indifferent to religious knowledge.
After the Dark Ages, where the Church basically did their best to wipe out human knowledge and sanitize everything...
I was under the impression that it was rather the opposite. In reality the "dark ages" were neither literally nor figuratively dark. The name was given by Italians who were butthurt about not ruling the world anymore.
It also seems that Christianity (Catholic monks in particular) was responsible for preserving western culture, civilization, and knowledge during the "dark ages" not destroying it.
Even a gutter press site like Cracked seems to disagree with you on this matter.
Contrariwise, there's a lot of evidence that certain modern, "scientific", and atheistic governments have destroyed and censored knowledge (I've linked only a few obvious and famous examples but there are others).
So... What's wrong with just sending plain text? Or if they must include images then why not use LaTeX or HTML and just .zip the whole folder together?
Government subsidies should only go to companies that are pushing the boundaries.
Why should the government subsidize anything at all?
Agreed

Yes, that's what the GP was pointing out.
Just get the source code for uname, modify it, recompile it, then replace the system uname with your custom version.

Why English disconnected the word for circle from the word for wheel, I don't know.
Because the English word is derived from a notion of conveyance (which almost always used a wheel/circle) not directly from the root "circle".
Since when did America support such massive erosion of privacy and liberty?
In less than 20 years the US has gone from "give me liberty or give me death" to "if you have nothing to hide you have nothing to fear".
That shit ain't unique to New York state.
And that's why the Second Amendment exists.
