I've seen it running in a VM because of software that big money was paid for that was still perfectly satisfactory for it's intended purpose. Why buy new software when there is no need? The old computer died and the new modern Win 8 box wont run the software? Virtual environment to the rescue!
Exactly. "If" I pull. I'm not going to pull unless I feel the need to shoot. I'll never threaten anyone with a gun. It's a foolish thing to do. I'm not going to pull unless I feel my life is in danger and once they've crossed that line it's life or death.
Didn't say that, I said I'm not pulling it unless I have to. And if I have to it's because I'm in dire, immediate danger. It's not going to be something I have trouble explaining to the cops. Just because a group of thugs comes up and starts hassling me isn't a reason to pull. When they pull a gun and threaten me I'm going to shoot them. The gun is coming out and the bullets are going downrange.
I know it happens but honestly I would like to see a link to your study. I'm thinking it doesn't happen all that often. I know if I pull a weapon someone is getting shot. I'm not pulling it unless I have to and once it's out I'm not playing or threatening with it, it's business time. Brandishing a weapon that you're not committed to using is a good way to get killed.
A lot of truth in that. Handing untrained people a gun is a good way to have a mess. It takes a lot of training to teach a person to handle a gun in a crisis situation. Most people get excited and snatch the trigger spraying bullets around and hitting everything except what they're aiming at. It's amazing how many shots get fired with no one getting hit. This video is a good example, lots of shots and no one hit. All at almost point blank range too.
They could get less time for killing the CEO of the company responsible for the shitty movie. Especially if they beat him to death with a chair or something instead of using a gun. Time off if they record the murder and post in on youtube.
It literally isn't worth stealing. In fact, the studio execs should be arrested for stealing money from everyone that paid to see it. They all thought they were going to see entertainment and instead were ripped off.
Libertarians don't hate government, they consider it a necessary evil. We know we have to have government but we want the least possible amount to manage a safe and free society. Conservatives and Liberals want more and more government to manage their goals. It's always "we need to make a law or regulation" without any consideration of the consequences. There is no excuse for the out of control growth of government under both Democrats and Republicans. They both love more and more government.
The only problem with Trump is that he speaks his mind. Lots of people have crazy ideas that they never voice. I'd bet Hillary has a few doozies rolling around in her head. Fortunately the US President doesn't operate in a vacuum. Congress has lots of power and then there is the Supreme Court. You can bet your bottom dollar that the wackier ideas of the Donald will get stuffed by both houses of Congress. Obamacare only happened because of a rare alignment with the executive branch and both houses of Congress being controlled by one party. Real change is hard to do.
I agree. I bumped my Mac Mini to 16GB of RAM and suddenly editing video became super fast. It was amazing the improvement it made. That's with simple home movies from my consumer grade HD video camera. I can imagine the difference it would make with commercial grade stuff. Honestly though I have to say nothing else uses more than 8GB of RAM, but still it's worth the money for the extra 8GB when I'm editing. It's so much quicker and smoother now.
I saw a video of one that caught a great white and swam along side a cruise ship holding the shark up out of the water down the whole length of the ship for all the tourists to see. Fucking showing off, "Look what I caught!" Damn things are too much like humans.
I'm generally anti-PETA but I really think keeping whales in a small tank is pretty fucked. Whales are not fish, they are Mammals and fairly intelligent ones at that.
It's easy to ignore a threat that may not be realized for a hundred years or more. It's kind of like gambling. The odds are you'll be fine. But.....you might get wiped out if you're unlucky.
Looked at Seattle lately? It's like 60 miles or so from Mt. Rainier. A Mount St. Helen's style eruption would devastate the city. It wouldn't do Tacoma much good either.
Well it's interesting that it's been over a hundred years since the last eruption. One in Mexico has been spitting ash recently as well. It could be that the ring of fire is heating up. Volcanos are nerd news even if it's not the latest tech.
Trump is one of the better of the bunch. He likes to shoot off a lot but really one of the most obnoxious blow hards ever made a pretty good president. Teddy Roosevelt had a tendency to outrage people too but looking at his legacy he was one of the better ones.
I say "damn things" because when they're in the roadway they are a constant nuisance. It's frustrating to be motoring at 50mph and suddenly slow to 15 for a half a mile because someone decided to ride their bike on a major roadway and it's impossible to safely pass them. "Damn things" is a sight better than what I say then.
The damn things are all over the road anyway. This way they have their own lane so you don't have to poke along behind them as they weave along their way. I have to say as a car driver, any thing that gets the bikes off the road onto their own lane so I don't have to worry about crushing someone is a good thing.

I can't imagine wasting the bandwidth to see an Adam Sandler movie. I could always go outside and watch the grass grow, it's more entertaining by far.
It's usually the shitty companies that like to litigate the most.
Doing anything else would require creativity and that's mostly non-existent in hollyweird anymore.

I believe the actual term is "long pig."
Actually it was pretty funny. Chicken tastes just like Beluga whales, get it? It's fucking hilarious.

Evidence? This is slashdot, we don't need no stinking evidence.
