For example, there's no consideration that military power or technology could fail or be jammed, she says. And the enemy doesn't learn, in contrast to a certain real-life conflict where the hallmark of insurgents is their ability to rapidly gain knowledge and evolve.
Sounds like the AI in just about every FPS ever made. I wouldn't try to politicize what is an industry-wide problem.
(A libertarian shat on my carpet once. Claimed the free market would sort it out. No it sodding didn't.)
I'm pretty sure carpet cleaners, housemaids, and stores that stock adult diapers are all in the phone book. Please don't tell me you think we need stat-run poop-scooping.
Yours is a straw man argument, as the one instance (nudity on a daytime free television broadcast) resulted in exposure (pun intended) of objectionable material to an audience which included children, while the "filth and pornography" is regulated in such a manner that it is not legal for it to be sold to anyone under 18, placing the responsibility for exposing children to it in the hands of parents and not the government. In other words, yes people do like porn in the USA and no, we don't want it presented in an uncontrolled manner in which parents have no say in when and how their children are exposed to it. That's consistent.
I tend to think it's reasonable to expect that there will not be nudity during a football game. Except perhaps for a flasher:-)
That's the first time I've seen Christianity blamed for Chinese censorship! But why not, it makes so much sense, with the total lack of religious persecution and all.
But with the advent of Christianity with its much more constricted views of right and wrong, other civilizations changed.
We surely wouldn't want constricted views of right and wrong. Go anarchy!
You really need to study American history again if you don't get this shit by now. Our founding fathers understood this stuff, and that's why "checks and balances" are a part of our government (2000-2006 excepted).
I didn't realize that one of the branches of the federal government had been abolished. Which one is it, pray tell?
You know that scence in Pulp Fiction with the multi-way Mexican Standoff? That's how the US government is supposed to work; go too far, and you'll get blown away, because you can't take out all the other dudes.
Wow... that would make one hell of a classroom demonstration!
Well, your original assertion that "it is illegal for Americans to write strong encryption software (it is considered a munition)" was proven flat wrong. As for the exports, see here.
Thanks for the suggestion, Mr. Moneybags. The rest of us who don't make six figures will go back to smart shopping so we can actually afford to buy meat. Even "organic" (what a stupid name... is an inorganic chicken made out of granite?) chicken doesn't cost that much where I live.
I assume you mean sucrose. Basic sugars are rather vital to the functions of carbon-base organisms. That being said, most of the "sugar" being used in "sugar water" is actually high-fructose corn syrup-- and you're going to have a hard time convincing people that fruit sugar is "toxic". I'm guessing you're not a dietician because your little list leaves fruit out. That could be a problem.
You know, people misspell my first name all the time (which is very amusing considering how you'd think "Stephen" is a bit more common than "Stephan" in the USA-- stupidity is creative I guess) and I don't go off the way you did.
The rise of China and the EU will eventually restore some balance in a world that's in dire need for it.
That's exactly what we want-- a giant corporation/state with a long history of human rights violations in control of the world. Balance: a new cold war. Or maybe hot... after all, they have over a million standing troops: why not use them?
Why are the Chinese so lauded by the leftist frauds? The very things the leftists belligerently accuse the USA of-- torture, imperialism, corporatism-- those are openly celebrated in China.
Really? My liver and kidneys convert beer into water!

Apparently you did not run games, terminal applications, a BBS, or even more than one applications at once because those were the biggest reasons for running OS/2. The GUI was OO and solid (there's a reason to run it over NT's crufty Program Manager), but being able to run your DOS games without exiting your GUI and running Word and Excel simultaneously without corrupting the whole OS if one crashed was pretty much a killer application. Isn't that kind of stability why you ran NT 3.x? OS/2 ran a lot more 16-bit windows and DOS apps than NT 3.x did, and just as reliably (if not more so). If NT's stability and multitasking weren't the selling point for you, then why didn't you just run 16-bit Windows? After all, it was the same GUI.

Windows 95 came out in August 1995. How is that "by Christmas?" It was VERY late. It was supposed to come out in 1994 (and 1993, and 1992)!

China's the only one I'm worried about. The rest can be bought (especially France).
Looks like Canadian public schools are even worse than American ones.
LebMoFo Yes, they used to give out "@lebmofo.com" emails.
Mo-Fi.

Naturally, you were modded offtopic while the gp poster (who is also OT) is still at +5.
Well, your original assertion that "it is illegal for Americans to write strong encryption software (it is considered a munition)" was proven flat wrong. As for the exports, see here.
And you didn't read the post, where he mentioned those and cordless telephones. Naturally, some fool modded you up for it.

SUVs cause cancer, now? Next thing we'll hear is that they eat babies!

"Gone With The Wind" and "Casablanca" are based on anime? Horrors!
