Eh? starting 15,000 years ago various waves of people came here from asia and huge and important civilizations have risen and fallen in the Americas since then. Some of those people are still around and their influence on art, food, medicine continues into our culture. One group of those asians was absolutely crucial to the United States winning its independence and also had influence on our Constitution. Talk about effecting change in the world; and they're still around by the way.
1 Gbps? no, I pay and only get to do 6 Mbit/sec down and 758 kbit/sec up, the fastest rate available. the telecoms can upgrade their gear as they were paid billions by we the taxpayers and we the subscribers to do in the 90s, but they blew the money on a couple other interesting things.
first of all, we paid the telcoms *billions* of dollars in the 1990s to provide us with high speed networking. guess what they did with that money instead?
now we get 1/20 or less the bandwidth of the rest of the world.
the bandwidth leeches are the telecoms.
if I am paying for x mBytes down and y kbytes up, there is no ambiguity about what that means I am paying for (and note again, fhese rates are *pitifully slow*)
so no, we're not to cry you a river about what the lines can carry. those LEECHES, who have stolen billions from we the taxpayer and we the subscribers, can upgrade their gear so they can provide what they claim to have sold us.
your analogy is flawed. I buy ten gallons of gasoline it doesn't matter whether I put it in car, or bus or chainsaw.
a "server" may or may not be commercial. if it uses a negligible portion of the bandwidth compared to videos and torrents and games, so what? it doesn't hurt the ISP any.
bullshit, typical geek "server" (domain with email and http server, maybe IRC or somesuch) uses negligible amount of the bandwidth of the home user who streams videos and/or plays multiplayer games.
google can go fuck themselves and die in a fire, I've been running a "server" on my home network since the mid 90s, which accounted for less than 1% of my traffic.
this is normal for scientific R&D for possible future products, most things don't pan out. those very few things that get invested in don't pan out. most start up businesses don't pan out. One of my past jobs was manager of engineering group at profitable company, and even then most things done in R&D there don't pan out.
so don't complain, it's normal and always has been
let's define "Natural" as behavior over the time period of a species, the species being humans. Flinging poop? not normal behavior. Internet, no, not done for most of mankind's existence. But shelter, clothing, cooking meat, yes.
Insects are just crustaceans that went to land, by many recent arguments.
no, you made up that last bit about "taboo" yourselves. Dogs on the menu at many places in the word, so are horses (FDA just added Mr. Ed to list by the way, my glue-eating classmates of 40+ years ago were clearly ahead of their time)
You are deluded, there is nothing sociopathic about killing and preparing an animal's flesh for a meal. Mankind and his predecessors have been hunting, preparing and cooking animals for over a million years. It's natural.
Humans also have eaten certain insects, most of us have eaten some of the aquatic kinds of insects. But most prefer fish, livestock, poultry, amphibians. Eating one is no more evil or wrong than eating the other.
what makes you think anything needs to be bought? you missed the point totally. reagents can't be banned because they're everywhere in abundant supply. for example, you mentioned the nitrogen-based explosives. The road to those can start with a barrel of piss
No, that's a silly reason to ban anything, because most anything can be used to make an explosive quite easily and trivially. Look around, your cotton or hemp or silk or synthentic clothing; plastics; wood products; metals like iron, aluminum, copper, zinc, lead, graphite; the various basic chemicals like soap, window wash, drain opener; the acidic things like car battery acid, vinegar, muriatic acid; the "chlorine" powder for your swimming pool; hydrocarbons from paraffin to coal to liquid fuels and hydraulic oils to natural gas; catalysts like the platinum in your car's catalytic converter.......all can be used to make powerful explosives.
it's nonsense, to say we can ban ingredients for explosives. It's even more silly than saying we can ban the ingredients for making booze.
you realize projectile would be in space in under 0.004 of a second? aerodynamic shape with blackbody coating on high heat capacity material should be sufficient

native americans are not caucasoid but mongoloid
never had that problem with LibreOffice, what I see is what I get on four very different printers at work and home.
I feel sorry for you Billy G, besides your ineptness with computers your mother burdened you with the name of a power and money grubbing leech.
to be fair, we'd also have to consider DOS -> Windows 3.11 -> windows 95/98 -> (junk no one bought) -> Windows 2000 -> XP which were pretty drastic
I used a typewriter in high school.
on the side, a teacher and some of us students formed a computer club and bought a TRS-80 so we could do Z80 assembly.
Since then I've used various document creating softwares on CDC Cyber, Vax, Unix, OS/2, Novell, Windows, Linux,
so the answer to your question is "hell no, what's the point"

but normal people believe 1+1 = 2
and they eat meat
so your argument fails

with the dog as a hat you could research the question,
Q: which side of your dog has more hair
A: the outside
Every article on slashdot gets the default tag "story".
Fucking useless.
a joke not for your aunt:
Q: How do you eat a dog
A: Put a hind leg over each of your ears

You forgot to insult their worthless sack of shit dumb-ass motherfucking government officials. But we're good now with this thread.

Ah, now I can relate to it
I am very well aware of what the UK has, but as it is and can be changed at any time by whim of Parliament, it is no constitution at all
in many places in the world, they walk their dog. in some places in asia, they wok their dog.

what the hell? The scientist is from the UK, they don't even have a constitution, much less a bill of rights with amendment mentioning free speach.
Cue the Limey-o-philes with "UK has a constitution but it's not written" bullshit
