Occupy was primarily a left wing 'grass roots' effort. Not many gun nuts there.. It started out being about the banks' behavior but then went off the rails with tumblr idiots talking about 'rape free zones' and how their headmates are oppressed. That's why it totally failed.
The thing is, they will, when it does get bad enough. When it does, and the state DOES impose itself martially, the citizens have a chance at defending themselves. Of course, this requires a culture that knows/respects firearms at least to some degree, which, thanks to the left and the neo-right, has atrophied. It's too bad, but the solution isn't to send the police around to collect all the guns, the solution is for the culture to return to a place where it can respect them again.
Did you mean 'age of the narcissistic, entitled, easily butthurt millennial'? The 1st was meant to protect the rest of us sane people from victimhood crybabies becoming defacto tyrants who would otherwise use the state to censor expression (of any kind) that hurts their easily bruised feelings. The 'oppression quest' nature of net culture these days suggests the 1st is needed every bit as much, now, as in the past.
I don't get the european submissive, self-hating complex. European governments piss all over your civil rights with draconian law, and native cultures with 'multiculturalism', and when the barbarian cultures your politicians love so much shoot up a few political cartoonists, you instead blame western society for being 'insensitive.' Offending christians? A-ok, offending muslims? OMG hate speech! (As an atheist, I think that's crazy.)
I'd rather avoid following europe's lead (if you could call it leadership) if it means avoiding that kind of spineless effeminacy.
Yeah, but the reason he wants the default of 'no' is to make it easier to monitor communications. He doesn't give a shit about the 4th, naturally. The government shouldn't be dictating the default setting either, which is what he wants.
That is seriously one of the worst hipster 'startup style' sites I've seen. The background video is fucking distracting. Also the links in the menus don't seem to do anything.
1. The dual control panels thing has just gotten worse, the new one truly sucking. 2. The lack of sizing/coloring of interface widgets like the windows classic interface allowed. (without hacks) 3. the breaking of ddraw calls for the sake of their dwm (which needn't be the case).
windows 10 has turned into windows 8.1 with a half assed start menu. They still don't get it. I still have to use a half dozen hacks (disableDWM,borderfix), along with a bunch of shims from application compatibility toolkit, to maintain compatibility..and if I want classic interface, I need to use w8classic as well, which creates its own problems.
This picture does not teach anyone anything by itself. It is a picture of a (then) young woman's face. It's a long time standard used for such classes. There's nothing 'sexist' about it.
Well at some point these girls will have to learn those hard lessons that reality doesn't nor shouldn't revolve around them. If you're telling me a photo on some lame magazine on a register checkout rack causes them PTSD, then those girls have much bigger problems than use of a woman's picture in a compression algorithm lab.
I was referring to the CALEA legislation which 'the people' also fought and lost, not that CALEA and crypto are the same thing. However, making it legal for TLAs to force backdoors in crypto is certainly similar.
Except the net result is a sea of shitty fucktacular 'apps' that do the bare minimum, with no flexibility, security, or dependability, as storage and availability depend on connectivity and continued vendor interest.
Perhaps, but then vendors who routinely do not fix their shit promptly will have bad reputations from repeated breaches, as it should be. Hopefully such companies go out of business.
Of course, they can set them as they please, but I can also criticize 'ethical hacker' policies that are too soft on vendors.
How else do you think 'consumable' content is created? The death of the pc is the death of the internet as anything but cable tv 2.0. That's not what you want unless you own a cable company.
Full disclosure also encourages the vendors to fix their shitty code asap, and encourages a preemptive security conscious culture. These are good things.

Are you willing to donate your property to the 10s/100s/1000s of square miles it would take to compensate the grid for the loss of the nuclear plant?
This wasn't a failure of the reactor, but a failure of a transformer. Your solar panels will still feed those.

Maybe you should also consider why schools are being targeted at all. Perhaps that says more about the school system than it does about gun ownership.
Surely the behavior of the US federal government suggests why americans like guns. A runaway state is noone's ally.
Ouch. Now that's cruel and unusual punishment...

or better yet, they should work to improve what it is they're self conscious about.
That doesn't mean a pic of a a woman's face is inappropriate. It's not nudity.

A pic of a woman's face is not 'anti-female.'

How is a picture of a woman 'hostile'?

Ever heard of CALEA ports?

malcolm x was a racist bastard, no better than a grand wizard. Why would any sane person want to associate themselves with him?

Sounds pretty depressing tbh.
