He didn't say it was different. He said it was a probable outcome.

When I was a kid and I told some guy his momma wore combat boots and they said take it back or else, my behaviour evolved in the following way:
- I told them to get screwed and they punched me.
- I took it back.
- I didn't use that insult at all.
To this day, I have a full appreciation of cause and effect.
Leave me out of this.
I'm not stupid enough to draw pictures and make fun of someone's religion. I have known for quite some time that it's a bad idea.
So, let us be clear about this: They don't want to kill US; they want to kill THEM.
In the interest of accuracy, THEM is not Muslims. These jerks have hijacked the Muslim religion.
The Muslim religion is offended by depictions of Muhammad.
Do you think drawing cartoons of Muhammad and making fun of him is "something that almost certainly needs to be said?"
In Germany, it's against the law to deny the Holocaust.
Shouldn't you go, right now, and draw funny cartoons that deny the Holocaust?
I'm free to say what I want and you are free to be unpredictable.

The Muslim religion forbids depicting Muhammad, for crying out loud, and then they made FUN, as well?
Saw a story the other day about skiers in a restricted avalanche area.
Neither story ended well.
The current generation would do well to fix this shit.
You can test that with a magnet.

For downloads I recommend, I download and install for myself, taking screenshots where I finger the traps
Filehippo used to be the cat's meow.
Now, not so much.

This is a lecture I don't need notes for. Nothing is free. The best "free" is crippleware where you'll be tempted to PRO up.

I make people aware of the difference between Google and the Address Bar.
For instance, some people have the (horrifying) habit of going to Chase bank by searching for it in Google, and then clicking on the first link.
I teach them to put chase.com in the address bar.
Even with Google, I teach them to look at the place they are about to go to make sure it;s not, say, chase.com.ru.
In a perfect world, I would not have to do that, but ... advertisers.
The problem is that people doesn't want to think, they just want things to "work".
This is what kills AI.
Especially the Al Gore part.

That was easy.
OK, but what about 100 petabyte?
So you're out of the demographic.
That does not apply to everyone, right?
Go away, asshole.
Go away.
BUT, they might find more.
Maybe if they are North Korean.

Did I miss much?
