I don't know any gun owners who aren't also college educated professionals. Now that is just my personal experience, it by no means speaks for all legal gun owners. However your (anonymous) comment that gun owners aren't smart is likely just troll bait, but if it isn't then it is ignorant and part of the problem.
Here in NJ they tried to pass a law to force gun shop owners to stock these "smart guns" and it failed. If people wanted these, they would stock them. For something as important as a firearm the added complexity of fingerprint readers simply increases the likelihood of failure when it is needed. These features aren't safe, they are dangerous and potentially deadly.
So in my case I just switched to Android and I'm absolutely sure I'm as happy - if not happier - with what I picked up (OnePlus 3) as I would be with an S7, Pixel XL or iPhone 7. OP3 isn't a $100 phone, but it's not an $800 phone either.
I agree completely. His leaking what he's leaked has served the purposes for many of us Americans by providing evidence of a lot of the criminal,activity we knew was going on, especially in the Hillary camp. However this man is not a hero, he is a criminal trading in stolen goods - goods he stole from every American. We need to keep that in mind.
Good. I block ads because I don't want to see them, not because ads are inherently bad but because ads have become so intrusive due to targeting algorithms. If the online ad industry continues to evolve as it has been that industry can expect more people to "fight back". Anyone running an ad supported site these days should take note.
Similarity between the early 1.x builds and the OS/2 WES convinced a lot of OS/2 users who felt abandoned by IBM to come over to Linux. I was one of them.
It's honestly refreshing to come here and see how many of us agree about the feminist and SJW narrative being all about demonizing white men here in the US. It's absolutely out of control. All we can really do is keep pressing on. Eventually this too shall pass and we will hopefully get the US back on track. As annoying and dangerous as this is, every generation has their rebellious phase. The difference this time is social media.
Before giving away your money, make sure you're getting what you actually need. There are always lowlifes around preying on the desperate or uninformed. This isn't the first time nor is it the last time people will get screwed by these kinds of dirtbags. Protect yourself folks.
Cali residents, get ready for your taxes to go even higher. Hey, someone has to pay for all the additional overhead. Don't worry though because in return there will be a new database. Oh, you want to have access to it? Sorry, no. Approved acces only and you'll never be approved.
Bingo, spot on. The addition of a time factor is what makes the consumption argument work and is the correct explanation. I was going to post this myself but you beat me to it. For any period of time there is n bandwidth available. If someone is consuming a fraction of n for some time (t), that amount of n is not available for anyone else for the duration of t, therefore it has been consumed.
Absolutely, and I've played with both although not recently. At the time Boxer/OS2 and Boxer/DOS were what I was using and just never wanted to invest the time to get proficient with emacs. It was choice, not availability or any anti-emacs bias.
Working mostly in a Windows environment for the past 25 years I never got into emacs. Of course I do need to function in Linux/UNIX environments from time to time and when I do it's vi/vim for me. However the majority of my text editing has been done in Boxer since 1996. I've never had a Windows computer without it, always the first thing I install after loading a (non-server) Windows OS.
I bought the 2012 N7, which I still have and which just last night I downgraded from 5.1 back to 4.4.4 - HUGE improvement. At $250 or less I'd pick one of these up.
Completely disagree. As a long time iOS user who switched to Android about six weeks ago I'll say it's been a great change. It's not as polished as Apple's walled garden but it is hardly clunky. Perfectly usable and I feel like I'm using a computer instead of an appliance, plus I'm running all of the same apps as I did on iOS.
I suppose if I actually ate this garbage I'd stop in order to protest the loss of jobs. At the very least I'd want to know how much less a pizza would me cost now due to the reduced labor costs and make a decision based on that.
We need a new poll. Now that Twitter is just about done, where should I go? I jumped on Twitter years ago as my news "firehouse". Over the years it's morphed - my feed that is - into a pretty narrow view of the world. Time to move on because this isn't healthy!
This is what we all expected. She's a Clinton after all. Another US career politician. She has a history of being like Teflon when it comes to any of her criminal activities coming back on her. The system is fixed and we're doomed for it. Meanwhile Hillary will go give another half million dollar speech or two.
This pretty much sums it up. Metrics are bs, we've known this for a long time. Perhaps we simply are looking at the wrong metrics, but clearly no one has fixed the problem with them yet.
Wow, a bit angry aren't we? I'd refine your argument as most people don't want Linux on their primary computer. True. Most people know what Windows is and how it works. Linux is great at most things but the fragmentation and level of customization creates complexity that is a turn off to an awful lot of computer owners.

lol, rate this up! And by the way, #freemilo.

Obviously mentally ill, so a suicide attempt isn't really surprising.

Thrilled to see so many people remember this, plus so many that know about WWV and shortwave. Fantastic group here!

No, they walked out with iPhones which they had just stolen. I see your point, but the original statement isn't grammatically incorrect.
