I had the same experience with Windows 10 Pro. Nagged to try Office 365 for a month, I went to download Firefox and saw an add to stick with IE and Bing, etc. etc. Also some of my neighbors have Windows 7 and 8.1, and have to constantly "hide" the Windows 10 upgrade from within Windows Update. Also Microsoft is calling Windows 10, "Windows as a service". what does that mean in practical every day language?. Also Windows 10, in the settings page allows you to get new "builds", on the slow track or the fast track, sounds like beta software to me. 75 million beta testers perhaps?. Also the fact that Windows 10 is a free upgrade for Windows 7, and 8.1 users sounds good, but is there a catch ?. Don't know the answers but at least I think I have some of the right questions. What is your take on this ?.
You have my scincere apology, I didn't think I put a "wall" of text up, as I can see other posts with about as many words as I put up, but if I was in error, again you have my apologies.

1.The art of deception, is to control your enemies perception.
2.Stretch your enemy too thin, he can't possibly win.
3.When in doubt, draw your enemy out.

"You don't need millions of programmers, just a few good ones."
"Fighting with a large army under your command is nowise different from fighting with a small one: it is merely a question of instituting signs and signals."
– Sun Tzu
"However, does it amount to a type of warfare?" Listen to Sun Tzu himself define warfare:
" All warfare is based on deception. Hence, when able to attack, we must seem unable; when using our forces, we must seem inactive; when we are near, we must make the enemy believe we are far away; when far away, we must make him believe we are near. Hold out baits to entice the enemy. Feign disorder, and crush him."
– Sun Tzu, the Art of War
"Military tactics are like unto water; for water in its natural course runs away from high places and hastens downwards Water shapes its course according to the nature of the ground over which it flows; the soldier works out his victory in relation to the foe whom he is facing. Therefore, just as water retains no constant shape, so in warfare there are no constant conditions. He who can modify his tactics in relation to his opponent and thereby succeed in winning, may be called a heaven-born captain."
– Sun Tzu
"In all fighting, the direct method may be used for joining battle, but indirect methods will be needed in order to secure victory. In battle, there are not more than two methods of attack – the direct and the indirect; yet these two in combination give rise to an endless series of maneuvers. The direct and the indirect lead on to each other in turn. It is like moving in a circle – you never come to an end. Who can exhaust the possibilities of their combination?"
– Sun Tzu
He could have built his own Net Gun, here is the site with all the instructions.
"http://www.instructables.com/id/Build-A-Net-Gun/". If I owned a house, and someone flew a drone over my property, I would be upset also.

The link you gave calls the WTC attack a "nuclear demolition". I'm not sure how credible the link is.
--PM
I understand your lack of trust in this link, but the text pages on anthrax, what it is, what it can do are excellent. Also many firefighters, and rescue workers on 9/11, heard multiple explosions as they tried to rescue people from the buildings, I don't know if mini-nukes were used or not, but there were multiple explosions of some kind heard and felt by NYFD workers, or should I say Heroes.
Also listen to a 32 year veteran of the NYFD talk about 9/11.(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nQrpLp-X0ws).

And:“We need not to be let alone. We need to be really bothered once in a while. How long is it since you were really bothered? About something important, about something real?”
Ray Bradbury, Fahrenheit 451
Since when has blocking some pirate sites been the same as censoring the content? Hysterical, much?
"That should give you a pretty good picture where this is going.."
Its simply treating the internet like any other media - ie subject to the law. If you don't like the law vote for someone who'll change it. In the meantime stop whining like some tin foil hat hippy whos just stepped out of 1975.
“The average TV commercial of sixty seconds has one hundred and twenty half-second clips in it, or one-third of a second. We bombard people with sensation. That substitutes for thinking.”
Ray Bradbury, Fahrenheit 451
Also:“Do you know why books such as this are so important? Because they have quality. And what does the word quality mean? To me it means texture. This book has pores. It has features. This book can go under the microscope. You’d find life under the glass, streaming past in infinite profusion. The more pores, the more truthfully recorded details of life per square inch you can get on a sheet of paper, the more ‘literary’ you are. That’s my definition anyway. Telling detail. Fresh detail. The good writers touch life often. The mediocre ones run a quick hand over her. The bad ones rape her and leave her for the flies. So now you see why books are hated and feared? They show the pores in the face of life.”
Ray Bradbury, Fahrenheit 451
“Last night I thought about all the kerosene I've used in the past ten years. And I thought about books. And for the first time I realized that a man was behind each one of the books. A man had to think them up. A man had to take a long time to put them down on paper. And I'd never even thought that thought before...It took some man a lifetime maybe to put some of his thoughts down, looking around at the world and life, and then I come along in two minutes and boom! it's all over.”
Ray Bradbury, Fahrenheit 451
It seems like Obama has gone so far off from where he indicated he would go when originally running for office that I can't help but wonder what happened. I have to assume that since coming into office he has learned things that aren't common knowledge that have turned him from the path he originally envisioned. What could he have possible learned and will we ever get the whole picture?
I know this may be hard to get a hold of, but Obama isn't and wasn't what you think he is.(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eAaQNACwaLw). Also (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l-HqHSkYG-Y). and (http://www.davidicke.com/headlines/barack-obama-the-naked-emperor/).
to quote the prophetic lyrics penned by The Who. Obama has proven that he is just another greasy, lying, scumbag of a politician. Closing down Gitmo? Well, maybe not. Against the Patriot Act? Easy to say when you're not in power. The list goes on.
I don't agree with everything that Rand Paul says but I accept his premise that government cannot be trusted when it comes to the Patriot Act. The government will tell us that it's for "our safety". That is it protecting us "from terrorists". The fact of the matter is that all of this NSA data has not prevented a single "terrorist" attack. Just like the TSA charade playing out at every airport in this country. The fact of the matter is that random bombings and other acts of terror cannot be prevented - period. The Israelis have been dealing with this for decades and have been unable to prevent bombings.
The Patriot Act is a power grab, plain and simple. It gives the government the green light to collect personal data on every person in America without any probable cause or court order. Supporters say, yes but it's only the phone number and the duration of the call not the actual conversation. How long do you think it will take before recording of the conversations sneaks its way into the Patriot Act? Where does it end?
But don't you know that Mommy (The State) knows best. Big Brother is your friend, he's here to help you don't you know. To protect you from the "Bad Guys".
NSA..." We lie because we spy, we spy because we care".
India developed and built nuclear weapons and is planning a Mars mission and a spaceplane. Where the political will exists, India is capable of making the same kinds of investments into technology that the US does.
India just lacks the political will to invest in providing their citizens with water and electricity or reducing urban heat island effects.
The US doesn't need to airlift them anything. The Indian government can provide for its citizens but refuses to do so.
I am aware of India's achievements, I just thought they had more of a will, and compassion to help their people.
That's very expensive and only makes sense for a limited time under certain circumstances (e.g., local potable water systems destroyed). I doubt these circumstances fit the criteria. Sports drinks are probably not in short supply there either. OTOH, setting up portable cooling centers using misters and pumps with the local water supply would make sense. I don't think they need the US to do it though.
Great ideas AC, I wonder if your ideas could be given to the Indian Gov., or local India business association. ")

You guys, Anthrax Live is pretty fucking awesome! Their shows can get loud, but they play all... oh, not the band. Never mind.
Yeah the drummer has great chops !.
Here is a link to "Veterans Today", I found some interesting reading on the subject of Anthrax. (http://www.veteranstoday.com/2011/01/09/72207/).

wtf is abstinence? sounds like a form of punishment.
I choose to abstain from abstinence.
Like to abstain from voting, ....like the US Congress.:)
