The NRA is a group of people, a large group composed of several million people. Considering they are almost all gun enthusiasts you can figure that most of them own several guns and buy guns on a routine basis. I'd think that the gun manufacturers actually defer to the NRA. It's that large membership that almost all vote that gives the NRA it's power. In the South here to offend the NRA is often to fail re-election, even mamy Democratic politicians here are members.
I think he's talking about all those windows peecee's slaved into botnets because of their defective by design OS and are used in DDos attacks such as this. It all starts with malware ya know and Windows is the most pervasive form of malware on the planet.
I don't know a single person that likes windows. Not one. None. They all hate it but it never occurs to them there is something else. Everyone bitches and many say I wish I could afford a Mac. I'd bet at least half of the computer users I know whine and wish they could afford a Mac and many of them have switched to Macs over the last 7 or 8 years here. Linux isn't even known. It's like telling someone bitching about his piece of shit Chevrolet that he could buy a Caterham. He'd look at you and go, "huh?"
Not a bad comment until the last two words. He simply pointed out the inherent weakness of an all electronic banking system. Yes it's inevitable, just like crass comments from anonymous cowards seem to be inevitable.
The end result of all these wars is that individual liberty is collateral damage. The war on Drugs, on Terror, on Child Porn, etc., means that innocent people pay the price while the thing they war against never goes away. One unwinable war after another.
They feel like they must do something and do it right now. It's more important to appear to be doing something to fix the problem than to actually fix the problem.
That's like saying that if I say someone is stupid for putting their eye out with a fork that just because I don't appreciate the pain and maiming just means I'm mean spirited and small minded and even more of an idiot than they are. It's fucking drivel just like your idiotic argument. Having said that I fully support your right to indulge in it. Go ahead by all means because after having experienced what passes for your wit here I can see that you are a member of the target audience.
Man I'm sorry I hurt your feelings. Don't take it so hard. Just take a look at television, massive mental drivel and guess why? It sells! Why are we inundated by SPAM? Because idiots, well okay, people who don't have opportunity to make good choices, respond to the SPAM. Why do we get assaulted by telemarketers? Because people buy stuff from them! Of course I guess you think if they just had better choices they wouldn't do these things. Ah well. Have fun with your idiot friends.
Don't attribute to malice that which can be accounted for by stupidity. Congress is an example of representative government in action. Most people now are idiots and they elect idiots who make idiot laws. Hence we have crazy legislation like this that we don't even need. At least once we're all in jail we'll be safe.....I guess.
It's not about politics dickhead, it's about just having a moral compass. Yes he broke the law. They proceeded to charge him with tons of shit he wasn't guilty of instead of just what he had done. This is an officer of the court we're talking about, not some gutter thug going "give me your money or I'll kill you" but that is essentially what she did to him. Plead to this or we'll utterly destroy your life even though we know you aren't guilty of anything but this minor stuff. It's abuse of power. They should be fired. People have every right to be angry (although the death threats are over the top) because she's not even getting her wrist slapped. I don't like the fact that so many people are sinking to her level though. By acting this way instead of calling their elected officials and raising hell they become the same filthy shit that she is. Don't become what you hate.
I have an excellent chinese made motherboard that was pretty inexpensive....uh. No that was actually made in Taiwan. Never mind. That's the Republic of China not the "peoples" Republic.
Maybe they should just put a chip in everybody. Then they can know where everyone is every second and hear everything they say even if they talk in their sleep. If people have nothing to hide then what's the problem? It can't be the US Constitution because they can just reinterpret that to mean whatever they want it to. Half what they do now is unconstitutional so what the hell, quit being hypocritical and be all the big brother you can be. At least we'll all be safe from the big bad towelheaded terrorists and isn't that all that matters?
I was responding to the cargo plane is not a combat aircraft comment. Actually cargo planes often have combat roles. They are listed as "weapon systems" in the DOD inventory.

That's funny. I think of Linus Torvalds and Penguins.

Allright dude. Enjoy.

Go back to your Desperate Housewives reruns.
The result is the same.

Smart people make mistakes all the time. He was smart but also naive.

Suicide is painless, and I can take or leave it as I please.

Some people can find the cloud inside every silver lining.
I'm pretty sure we've always been at war with East Asi....uh.....North Korea.
You know your patent case is worthless when East Texas courts throw it out. If you can't win your troll case there it's friggin' hopeless.
I think you are right. If it absolutely must work at all costs then Sun made sense. Otherwise Cent OS on X86 or something similar is good enough.
