Isn't this really inevitable? I think man can not live without conflict. It's not the system that's broken but the people. It seems that wars are inevitable and all we can do is try to survive them because at the end of the day people are just people. You can't live in peace if people wont let you.
Some weren't and some were. A few considered themselves Deists and some called themselves Christians. As far as I know none were Muslim. Jefferson respected Christ's teachings but did not consider him a divine being. They were a complex group of individuals. http://www.jameswatkins.com/ar...
Most were raised in Christian environments but later came to question much of what they were taught. Still almost all of them respected the Christian religions moral teachings.
They are getting a little ancy at Cupertino over the 9% drop in profit last year. Still they made so much damn money the last 5 years that it's unrealistic to think that kind of crazy profit can continue forever.
And that's why Apple doesn't sell BOTB boxes. The profit margin isn't high enough to make up for the aggravation. I know a lot of bad windows stories are actually due to shitty hardware. Not to mention that most cheap boxes carry a bunch of crapware by default which cripples the computer from the start. Still, it helps Apple make more money.
Linux runs good on lower grade hardware. On my T420 it hauls ass. I built a dual AMD 64 bit system back years ago when that was the hot thing. I put Mepis Linux on it and it was amazing. I had a friend come over and he was absolutely blown away. I've installed it on a lot of friends computers over the years and I only had 2 that went back to windows.
What good is the most market share? It's how much money you make. Commodore Business Machines sold more computers their last year in business than ever before. Then went straight into bankruptcy. Tell me who's making all the profit?
I really don't care. Why would I care if you or anyone else pisses their money away? I own a galaxy tab 2 that I picked up used and it works okay so I'm not buying into Apple's high priced tablet world but I have looked at them and they are better than anything Samsung makes and Samsung makes nicer hardware than the Surface tablets. I can see that if you are slaved to the windows world then sure, Surface is your thing. I own an Apple Mac Mini that I use for video work but I'm using Linux for general computing because it works great for that purpose. Apple makes a lot of money and there is a reason for it. It's style, quality and brand recognition are superior. You can bitch all you like about it but I know a lot of people that switched from windows to Mac computers because they got tired of constant, non-stop problems and when they found out that Macs just worked they bought in. They all kind of grimaced at the price but as one co-worker of mine stated just the other day, he's had zero problems in the year he's owned his iMac compared to hardly a month without having to fix his windows setup. He's now buying his daughter a very expensive Macbook for school. I'd never spend 1500 on a laptop, it's crazy. But then I know how to pick up a used Lenovo T420 and install Linux on it.
I don't think Apple really gives a shit if they sell more tablets than android makers do. Considering the outrageous mark up on iPads they make a ton of money. If Samsung is making 10 dollars off every tablet and Apple is clearing this kind of money....
You do understand, don't you, that I am only speaking of those that have become radicalized? Or maybe you think there is some other solution to someone who has decided that the evil people that don't worship Allah must be killed? Mind you I feel the same solution is appropriate for those that think Jesus told them to blow up abortion clinics.
I know that when I lived in Germany that even though I owned a car I still took the bus most of the time. For one thing it was usually almost as fast as using my car and the major reason was that the parking there was so fucked up. If I drove I usually wound up walking further than I would if I had taken the bus. My car saw most of it's use in runs down the autobahn to another city. Even there I sometimes used the train.
The really strange thing is that the US helped build the hospital that they didn't know was a hospital. Whoever was responsible for this either did it on purpose or they are too stupid to live. Someone should be in jail but since it's most likely someone with at least 2 stars on his uniform they just sweep it under the rug.
Your argument is badly flawed. I have almost nothing to fear from foreign terrorists. The true threat is my own countrymen and always has been. I'm much, much more likely to be shot stopping at a local convenience store than by any terrorist home grown or not. I avoid areas around town that are known to be "combat zones" and when I travel to Atlanta I always pack heat but really I have virtually no fear. My most likely means of demise will be either cancer or heart disease just like most Americans. Cancer due to the exposure to chromium and other substances in my job in the aviation industry and heart disease because I eat too fucking much. Terrorists make for good TV but if anyone stops to think about it they'll realize that they're just an annoyance.
That's right idiot. The only way to save the country is to destroy it. Take one of the basic tenets of the founding of American culture and rip it out. Maybe we could implant RFID tags in everyone as well since you like pissing all over the Constitution. As if the fucking "Patriot" Act wasn't bad enough.
Funny thing is, all those evil Christians who were involved in the founding of this country voted for a Constitution that guaranteed freedom of religion. It's that document all those evil Christians supported that guarantees the freedoms of Muslims and Hindus and Atheists in this country. And it's that very guarantee of religious freedom that so infuriates the radical Muslims that dream of a world ruled under Sharia law. I'll grant that most of the Muslims in this country do not want Sharia law here because they fled the bat shit crazy motherfuckers back in their homelands that delighted in making their lives hell using that same fucked up Sharia law. The problem is that now we have a lot of the younger ones here that have no knowledge of how truly fucked Sharia law is having never lived under it that suddenly are becoming radicalized. Sadly, it seems the only solution is to kill them.
You know, a lot depends on how you handle things. I've been late several times but strangely, since I call and tell people I'm going to be late as well as why I'm having to be late and when I plan to pay I have never had a problem. Often I've even gotten the late fee waived. Most of the time they thank me for letting them know.

I remember watching that on TV. They got the shit shot out of them by those crazy fuckers. The ATF didn't look particularly competent.
You mean they don't have local facilities marked in their NAV systems? I find that very unlikely.
The funny thing is, I'm actually in more danger from the sodas and junk food in the store than a would be robber.

So while they were not all Christians many were and I never claimed all were.

Excellent point!
The bad thing is that even you know that's a lie.

then apple doesn't need to sell more tablets.

Nuke 'em till they glow, then shoot 'em in the dark.
I'm waiting for them to try this kind of terror attack in someplace like Waco, Texas.

I've seen the same here. If the person was notified first and offered a chance to fix it then I see no problem with it.
