Meanwhile, those homes are possibly within "Gun Free School Zones", so Mr. Home Invasion could easily just bash in the door and grab a kid without fear of being shot.
No, it was not outlawed in the USA. It wasn't even outlawed in any states. In fact, people are being prosecuted for child neglect (or just extra-judicially had their kids taken from them) without even a local law prohibiting them from letting their kids walk to the park or another kid's house. The police and various child welfare offices simply decide that a school age kid walking on his/her own is 100% sure to be killed or abducted.
No, they were cut at somewhere between 20-50 Hz so that you could have enough room for 20-35 minutes of audio per side. The RIAA eq curve was to reduce rumble (and hiss, by boosting the high end), and that was restored upon playback through the dedicated PHONO input of the amplifier. I think this flurry of antique-looking all-in-one turntables is lacking the proper equalization circuit, because they all sound raspy and weak to me.
That's why 12" singles really do have more punch. With an entire side for under 10 minutes of audio, you could make them much hotter.
Keith Richards abused so many substances that he hit on a magical concoction that has preserved him like a mummy. Unfortunately, it has also left him looking like one.
Not really. There are 4,000 fatalities due to cervical cancer a year. Many, if not most, are not caused by HPV. Of the ones that are, the vaccine is not effective against all of them. So success might mean saving 1,000 lives a year, perhaps. About as many are killed by police officers every year, so maybe we should work on reducing that number as well.
It will help alleviate a lot of suffering, but don't delude yourself into thinking this is some kind of medical miracle.
No, he's pointing out that he would have about the same experience in Germany. You're to the left of a social democrat here. So if I buy a property, is it my job to find the tenants new housing, too? They need to get their deposits back and find a new place.
Clearly you're not an American, so let me explain to you how this works.
We're a federation here, so most of the laws that affect a citizen daily are made at the local and state level. I haven't lived in Texas, but I have lived in several states and one thing you can't do in any of them is unilaterally break a contract. There has to be something in it to allow a party to leave it. If there isn't a section of the lease that allows the landlord to terminate the lease in the event the property is sold, then the new owner has to honor it. Even if there is such a section, in every state I've lived in the tenant has at last 30 days to vacate, and probably more. Also, not returning the deposit is theft. Every state I've lived in requires that to be returned within 60 days, if not sooner, and if any part is held back because of unpaid rent or damage it has to be invoiced. Usually, the deposits need to be kept in escrow so they don't "disappear". In other words, these tenants should probably be working with the Texas housing authority and the previous owner at this stage, not harassing Oracle.
I know that believing the USA is some sort of dystopian hellhole makes you feel better about whatever cesspool you hail from, but it doesn't serve you to expose your willful ignorance.
Don't worry, I'm sure the rest of the mob would prefer not to have an abrasive curmudgeon like yourself grumbling all through the movie.
Theaters suck, we get it. My favorite, Movie Theater, has big easy chairs with wide armrests and swing-out trays. If you need a snack or drink-- including adult beverages-- you press a button and someone brings it to you. And it's clean. And the sound is fine. And it costs about the same as the sticky-floor, Battle of the Armrest theaters.
Yes. Because fortress-building horses, gods who cross-dress to impersonate the bride at a wedding, and tasty-goat-drawn chariots make a lot of sense. I do have to admit the story about Thor's beer run where he eats two cows, beats up a sea serpent, and gets in a brawl on a fishing trip, would make a great movie. Actually, that's probably where they got the inspiration for the Scott Pilgrim and Superbad scripts.
Conservatives always have to blame somebody else for their own screwups. The favorite tactic is to come up with an exaggeration, apply it to 'liberals' as if they'd actually said it, and then argue against it. Classic strawman arguing.
Yeah, I hate straw man arguments.
Their brains don't even process the contradictions, like how they claim Obama is a Muslim and yet go on about the rantings of his Christian minister from 20+ years ago. Doesn't even register how clueless it sounds.
So weak crypto is worse than sending data in the clear? OK.
Hint: it's not. However, pretending the obsolete crypto is fine and doing nothing to mitigate it is. Performing security theater, like turning OFF https because a scanner flagged it, while still allowing unencrypted communication, is madness.
Actually, XP and IE 6 support SHA-2, so I don't even know what you're ranting about.
Frankly, the list of browsers that support SHA-2 is quite long, and includes surprisingly old versions. I think the server side is a bigger problem. I know some fairly recent vintage appliances-- frustratingly, many of these are SECURITY appliances-- won't support SHA-2.
I don't know what religions you're familiar with, but Christianity teaches that charity means giving of oneself, not using government to be Robin Hood.
He was able to do what he did mostly because of the regulations. If it were easier to get generics approved, price gouging would be a highly limited proposition. Not saying we should be lax about approvals... just that this is a problem.
Stop calling them liberals. FDR perpetuated that nonsense. It's an Orwellian Newspeak term, considering that liberals want to decide what other people are allowed to do rather than allowing people to decide on their own.
You live in Europe. I'm sure you'll become acquainted with a gun sooner or later... probably the barrel end. But it's possible you'll be conscripted, and have to kill your neighbors, friends... maybe even your family. Because that's what government demands.

Sean Connery's SSID used to be that until he changed it to, "SUCKITTREBEK"
I'm pretty sure you can get both mirrors and laser pointers at dollar stores now.

Not too many people have working Edison cylinder players but I assure you, many of the cylinders are quite valuable.

Thor could just set his hammer on the lid until Cap gives up and goes to the liquor store.
Worst. Troll. Ever.

Yeah, I hate straw man arguments.
Like that one.
