We lack the will to do the necessary evil things that must be done to win. If William Tecumseh Sherman were fighting in Afghanistan the Taliban would be done. He crushed the core Southern States in the Civil War by war to the bone. He looted, raped and burned a path through Georgia that still over 150 years later is remembered. That level of destruction or more is what is required to subjugate a population. I remember a tale about a Roman officer back in antiquity that had a problem with supply convoys getting wiped out. He finally got fed up and went through every village along the route and took all the able bodied men he could find prisoner. He had sharpened stakes embedded along the roadway and every so many paces he had a prisoner disemboweled upon these stakes to die lingering deaths. They were left there until they rotted away. The convoy attacks ceased. I am glad we don't do such things today but I'm sure if it ever got to the point where the US were about to be destroyed we'd do that and worse if necessary.
I once paid 12,000 dollars in cash for a car. The guy wanted 15,500 but I kept counting 100's until he folded at 12G's. Nowadays they'd take it away and make me prove I got it legally. I wish George Washington, John Adams, Thomas Jefferson and all those guys could see what these fuckers are doing nowadays. They'd spit on 'em before they slid hard cold steel through their guts.
Well of course it will bring crime. All those who don't conform are criminals. If US code were strictly enforced the entire population would be criminalized. There are laws against everything and laws that require you to do things and most people don't even know about them. I'd like to see all the victimless crime laws gone. Who cares if you don't wear your seatbelt, it's just another hundred dollars in the city kitty. All kinds of stupid ass laws meant to micro-manage our daily lives.
War is all about winning at virtually all cost. In today's world that will increasingly mean autonomous weaponry. Aircraft in particular have passed the ability of a human pilot to control. The biggest limiting factor in warplane development is the pilot.
Raspbian is a Debian based distribution for the Raspberry Pi computer board. It's basically Debian's Arm variant with specific changes for the Pi. That means it has systemd. Their is also a RiscOS variant for the Pi so you could use that if you like.
I think most people are okay with ads. The shit that assaults your computer isn't advertising. I've been using adblock for a while now. So long that when I recently did a fresh install of Linux on an old laptop I picked up I forgot to set up adblock on Firefox. I was stunned at how aggressive ads are now. Unbelievable.
The damn thing better be subservient. It's my phone and I can abuse it if I want to. Honestly I can't see myself propositioning my phone but the first time the thing comes back at me with a put down it's not long for this world. As an aside I remember a guy that came into my shop TDY and he had just gotten a new iPhone with Siri when all that started at Apple. One of our guys asked it where the nearest whorehouse was as a joke and it brought up a list of escort services. We all laughed but 3 of the guys came in the next week with new iPhones. An accurate answer to any question should be the standard.
I run lil'snitch on my Macs. It's amazing how much stuff wants to talk to apple. For the most part I enable it but still it's nothing like what they're talking about with win10. I've noticed that in the last couple of OS X upgrades the traffic has grown a bit.
True, but then it's all part of the same thing. Some are just more extreme. I watch the national debt clock climbing away and wonder if it'll hit 100 trillion in 3 years or only 2. Everyone sees it climbing but they don't worry about it. The world keeps spinning though, it always has.
It's a sad fact that you are correct. It applies in fact to almost everything in life. Most people, as long as you let them alone to do pretty much as they please, care little about anything going on under the surface. We see this with things like the "Patriot Act" and the Trans Pacific Partnership. Nobody cares unless they can't see their favorite show.
People don't mind ads until they take over your phone. I hate when viewing a site having an ad pop up to cover what I'm trying to read. That doesn't inspire me to buy anything. I tend to hate the people doing it to the point that if I note what they're selling I vow never to buy it. Getting in my face is the wrong way to sell me anything and I wonder what kind of people actually buy stuff from those shitstains using that kind of method.
I've noticed that a lot of criminals in European countries have little trouble finding firearms. If you don't give a shit about the law and have the cash you can get almost anything. You have to figure that if a person wants to murder someone he's not going to worry much about getting in trouble for having a pistol.
I can literally buy a real gun for less than the price of a 3d printer any time I want one. The people that like to do these designs do it mainly for the cool factor or just to piss off all the anti-gun people. Maye both reasons for some.
Well I gotta tell you I've seen programs removed and suddenly the system would not boot on Win7. Seems the uninstaller took a few system files with it. Shitty developers can fuck up absolutely anything.

Burn the remnants of SCO and then stir the ashes.
I suspect the Flat Earth Society is really a comedy group in disguise.
Infidel! Fahrenheit is the one true God of Temperature, Lord of all the Thermostats. All others are false and those that worship them will perish!

You'll never get 100 percent on any subject. If that's your standard nothing will ever be settled.

A person is lucky to have one "real" friend in their life. I have lots of acquaintances though.

Man, I could have gone another year without hearing about those idiots! To hell with Gateway.

An Amiga phone! Hell yes!
Waterboard 'em.

If you can make it look like a go kart I'd imagine you could get by with it.

I'd like to know who in the French government is related to the people running the solar tile company.
