The truth is that there has never been a "free market" and that there has never been a successful society based on libertarian principles. Go ahead, name one. I'll wait.
Libertarian are basically anarchists who want police protection from their slaves. It helps conservatives pass off a patently probusiness political agenda as a noble bid for human freedom.
...the terms of service for CAM2 state "you agree not to use the platform to determine the identity of any specific individuals contained in any video or video stream."
No problem, we'll just convert the video to a series of still frames. Problem solved!
Just because someone's not your intended audience, doesn't mean a review from them isn't fair or valuable.
Anytime something produced/directed primarily by women is voted down or given poor ratings it's immediately labeled as "misogyny" or a deliberate slamming of women.
BULLSHIT. Sometimes whatever it is just sucks and it's got NOTHING to do with gender.
However, when something produced/directed primarily by men is voted down or given poor ratings it's "because it's crap". No double standard there, oh no.
...as a user, I always liked Invision more than vBulletin.
They're both awful.
vBulletin is expensive, the codebase is a bloody nightmare, and every useful add-on or plugin costs you even more $$$. In a word, it's crap. It has a decent threaded-view function, I'll give it that, though.
Invision started off okay and rapidly devolved into a pile of disconnected shit. Managing plugins can be a nightmare because some of them conflict, some of them simply don't work, and the admin control panel is a ridiculous joke.

Also, I'm pretty sure non-'bug-riddled shit' commercial PHP bulletin board software does not exist.
I disagree. The Simple Machines Forum (SMF) is actually pretty damn good. It's free, has clean code, and thousands of good plugins, most of which are free. It's had a relatively low number of vulnerabilities over the years and when one is found the SMF team jumps on it immediately, sometimes issuing a fix within hours. It's my standard go-to forum package when I need a discussion forum, a base for a CMS, or for a one-off specialty site.
Ahhh, a little digging revealed it was the IP.board forum software by invisionpower.com, which is a steaming pile of shit under the best of conditions.
Also, I love how Nulled.io used the tagline. "Expect The Unexpected"....they should have taken their own advice, lol.
Hell, a couple of months ago (March 2016) you had a suicide bombing by the Islamic State. "At approximately 8 a.m. in the Zaventem two explosions went off in the departures hall of Brussels Airport. One of these was close to the American Airlines counter. The explosions left 13 dead and 81 wounded. At 9 a.m., another explosion went off at the Maelbeek metro station, killing at least another 20 and leaving 190 more victims wounded. Brussels went to complete lockdown and the highest possible state of terror threat alert. "
Yeah, remember that? That's just the latest, the list goes back decades. Hell, compared to the US you guys are the World Champions in Terrorist Attacks.
we don't go to places where random abductions might happen
Where are those places? Do you really know in advance where they are? Please let me know so I can avoid them in the future.
So yeah, feel free to stand idly by while someone abducts your family or wife or daughters or whatever. In the meantime, I'll do whatever I can to protect my family, thankyouverymuch.
Are you really telling me that I should just stand there and watch someone get kidnapped, and do nothing except take some pictures and call the cops? Seriously? Yes seriously.
Lol, thank goodness you don't dictate my actions. But frankly, I think most victims would rather have people come to their aid than have bystanders just stand around watch them be abducted.
I rather pay the ransom then let you shot my wife or kid or you threaten the kidnappers and they shoot my wife or kid
Lol, I bet your wife and children feel very, VERY differently. And also, I think you're lying.
Furthermore, what if it's not a kidnapping, but an act of rape and/or murder? Still want me to watch your kids be carried off in a van? Why don't you ask their mother how she feels about her husband willingly letting her children be abducted, raped, and murdered when there's a chance that the perpetrator(s) could have been stopped. I think she'd slap the shit out of you. She'd slap you so hard that by the time you woke up, your clothes would be back in fashion.
I can tell you this- no one, and I mean NO ONE is going to abduct my wife or child while there's a breath left in my body or an unfired round in my gun.
You really want to tell us that you kill 2 or 3 kidnappers so quick that none of my family is harmed? Is that hubris or are you on drugs?
I'd do whatever I could to keep your family safe, which is a hell of a lot more than I can say for YOU.
There was no declaration of war in either US invasion of Iraq. World War II was the last time the United States actually declared war.
Oh, I see. It wasn't a "war" because we didn't call it a "war".
Like when I rape some girl, I don't call it "rape". I call it "unilateral surprise sex", so that way it's not really rape. Or when I break in your house and take your TV and money. Don't bother calling the police, because it's not "stealing", I just "borrowed your stuff forever".
You're right, we didn't actually declare war, but that doesn't mean we didn't go to war.
And the PC industry is tanking at a rate of 15% a year. Does Microsoft want that?
Microsoft still wants to own the desktop market, but right now they're making a ton of cash from stuff like Azure so they probably aren't as focused on the desktop as they could/should be. Maybe by the time they pull their heads out of their asses it'll be too late to regain lost ground.
People who understand technology hate Win 10 and the ad-driven bullshit that's baked into it, but a lot of people will just muddle along and get used to it and eventually accept it as normal that their PC is infested with adware.
Yes, because it is so difficult to use the cell phone, make a few photos and call the police. Can't be so hard to let the pros do their job. Or can it?
The issue isn't difficulty, the issue is time.
Are you really telling me that I should just stand there and watch someone get kidnapped, and do nothing except take some pictures and call the cops? Seriously?
If it was your wife or daughter being kidnapped, would your answer be the same- just take some pics and call the cops? I doubt it.
There are pranks and then there are *pranks*...and when the latter crosses the line into destruction of property or causing real fear among an unsuspecting group of people (Burger King employees, crowds, shoppers, whatever) then it's time to drop the ban hammer and prosecute them.
A fake robbery and a fake kidnapping? They're fucking lucky someone didn't step in and shoot them. Over here in the US that kind of shit is likely to get you shot dead by someone who's not in on the "joke".
If I saw someone that I thought was actually being kidnapped, you can damn sure bet I'd try and stop it.

We are easy to find — just go, where truth is.

No need to petition the government. No need to raise awareness — just call a competitor and be on your way...

"The company insists that it won't use this information against you."
Lol, that's a hoot! Oh gawd, tell me another one!

Unlimited surveillance without explicit permission? What could possibly go wrong with this forward-thinking idea?
No way would they ever use it to go fishing for people to prosecute, that would just never, ever happen. *cough*
This should surprise no one. This is entirely consistent with FAX News' business practices and 'ethics'.

And since Windows STILL in its unending wisdom does NOT show file extensions in the default setting for some godforsaken reason
The hiding of extensions still stands as one of the WORST, most misguided things they ever did. And there is no reason for it, none, zero, zip, nada.
Now all they need is a bullet in their head(s) and we can call this one done.
between the car and another object/vehicle
Exactly my thought. The car won't be damaged because your body will cushion the (next) impact.
"The pedestrian is not thrown from the vehicle, thereby preventing a secondary impact between the pedestrian and the road surface or other object,"
Or...
"The pedestrian is not thrown from the vehicle, thereby ALLOWING a secondary impact between the pedestrian and the next car it hits."
Don't worry- the car won't be damaged because your body will cushion the impact!

Solution: stop making Wikipedia an important part of your life. They only have as much power over you as you give them.

Does anyone know what forum software were they using? I'd bet it was phpBB or vBulletin some bug-riddled shit like that.
Let me be the first to say, "LOLZ!!"
Europe doesn't have any terrorism? Hello, MacFly? This page would disagree....there is plenty of terrorism in Europe:

Why was this modded down? The US hasn't declared war since WWII.
Really? What was the Invasion of Iraq, a camping trip? And we just happened to bring 250,000 soldiers with us to guard the beer cooler?
Oh I totally believe that they only had one copy of this critically important report. It's too bad that the dog ate it or whatever.
