No. You can into a book shop in some town where you are not known by anyone, and buy a book with cash there. The only thing the seller has to know is that you pay for the book. He doesn't need to know who you are, what other books you bought (not even if you've ever bought another book at his shop), how many of the books you bought you've already read, how many you've started to read but for any reason didn't finish, how many you bought as a gift for others, etc. And of course not every book you read you buy. You get books as gift, you borrow books from friends, you go to a library (and if you read the books inside the library, there will not even be a record of books you've read in the library). Whoever is selling you the book has no business knowing what you read. His business is selling you books. Nothing more, nothing less.
We have undoable moderation right now, it just has the side effect of spamming the threads.
Also, an undo button might be restricted to be usable only for, say, 5 minutes after moderation. That's more than enough time to notice you've mis-moderated, but too short to be useful for gaming the system.
That's not logical. Bitcoin doesn't give you the basic freedoms to copy, to modify, and to distribute modified versions. Indeed, it is based on a DRM scheme preventing people from copying and manipulating them!
It's anonymous (well, mostly; you may leave fingerprints on it), but it is in no way easy to obtain if you don't have a bank account (well, at least not a significant amount of it).
You might want to go into that large blue room located outside of home once in a while. There are a lot of people in there who do not have access to computers, have no credit cards and not bank accounts.
Yes, I can predict that there's the "risk" of winning when you play the lottery, therefore if you don't want to win, you better don't play. Of course I cannot guarantee you win (similarly, if you intend to start a fire, the gasoline/match strategy is more likely to work than the target shooting strategy).
And about the probabilities: I'm pretty sure there are more people playing the lottery than target shooting.
People starting fires through campfires, burning trash or tossing hot cigarettes are just as bad, yes. I don't know about the railroad train issue, but it may well be that the railroad company has some responsibility there, too. Outrage against lightning would be nonsense because that's not caused by human activity (unless you blame global warming, of course).

Then why didn't you write that?
But not which pages of the book you've read.
Where is the hosts file on my ebook reader?

You mean, if I make a caricature of Steve Jobs, I have to fear death threats?
If you want to see all the information that Google has about you, just go to your Google account dashboard and look for yourself.
Google is interested in your favorite color and hobbies and stuff like that. They don't give a shit about your personal secrets.
My favorite color is my personal secret, you insensitive clod!
You can use negative numbers. They turn adds into subtracts.
In other words, in Folsom Prison smokers are literally burning money.

To disprove you, all I have to do is to write the headline:
When you see a headline in the form of a question, is the answer always "no"?
Oh, and BTW, one thing cash is decidedly not is:
[ ] Cashless
It's anonymous (well, mostly; you may leave fingerprints on it), but it is in no way easy to obtain if you don't have a bank account (well, at least not a significant amount of it).
And no gold.
Well, he explicitly qualified it as "in Microsoft's opinion".
I wonder what sort of keyboard has different keys for uppercase and lowercase Ps.
So what does "well-regulated" mean?
If you insist using a charcoal grill on dry grass, you are acting just as irresponsible.
20 fires have been associated with firearms activity. But, there have been 218 human caused wildfires so far this year in Utah, so that's less than 10%. The same, official Utah government website informs us of the "...three major preventable causes of fires in Utah. They are campfires, debris burning, and vehicle fires."
So what? Just because it happens less frequent doesn't mean it is less bad.
Do the words fucking anti-gun moron mean anything to you?
Yes, it means that the one uttering it has run out of arguments.
So when did the iron age end?

Does the word "accident" mean anything to you?
Does the word "negligence" mean anything to you?
