They're not claiming Microsoft invented (or first-used) (or only uses) it, only that Microsoft "perfected" their version in time for the Vista release.
Snow Leopard when it again failed to implement fully a security technology that Microsoft perfected nearly three years ago in Windows Vista
No where does it say "their version". Reading comprehension is a good thing, you should try it. Are you also one of those grammar nazis with atrocious grammar?
Combine that with rebates for farmers & construction, and soon the only people paying out the nose will be those with their V10 Corvettes and vanity Hummer SUV's. And I'll cry them a river.
I sure miss the Bush Administration / Republican controlled congress because it at least paid lip service to personal freedoms.
When was that - when they were violating half the Constitution (NSA wiretapping, torture, indefinite detentions w/o trials or lawyers) or when they had people arrested for wearing anti-war shirts to Bush rallies? Whereas people are perfectly free to bring loaded pistols and rifles to Obama rallies.
...Alan Turing has still living relatives. Last time I checked, 1952 wasn't that long ago and there could still be plenty of victims (and perpetrators) still living in England. And, of course, while Turing is gone, the the government remains.
And democrats, since they were so polite over the last 8 years or so
You mean like how they started talking about states seceding from the union when Bush took office? Or how they attended Bush rallies with loaded pistols and rifles? Or when they kept insisting that Bush wasn't an American citizen? Or when they outed covert agents married to prominent Republicans? Or when they sent Republican governors to jail, prosecuted by the wife of their opponents campaign manager?
Basically, almost all the people who actually know a thing or two about guns are on the anti-control side of the debate. When the people for gun control write laws, their experience is largely drawn from movies rather than any personal experience, so their laws end up being silly and ineffectual.
Question: do you use a cannon or a howitzer for your projection?
No, it wouldn't have. In a close quarters battle (which is what the Dix guys were planning), a 50 cal is far too bulky to be usable; we should wish the terrorist were that dumb. An assault rifle, like the AK-47, is ideal for this sort of thing.
Ideal? Hardly, that's what shotguns are for, with a sidearm for backup.
Gun laws aren't pushed for because of movies, they're pushed as a measure to deal with urban crime. Frequently by prosecutors like Rudy Giuliani.
Nice misdirection; are you applying for Fox? When someone commits a crime with a gun or a cop wrongfully shoots someone, those aren't accidents, they are deliberate acts.
with just a quick search of something that happened in the last month. If you listen for these on the news you will start hearing more. I have been very surprised that defensive use with a firearm is making it to the mainstream media with more frequency.
When searching for such news, are you also reading of the cases where someone is wrongfully shot/tasered to death by police?
While I agree that these 2 incidents do not prove the value of CCW. they make a clear statement that not only professionally trained law enforcement officers stop these type of crimes.
Does that mean that civilians can now start shooting innocent people to death just like the cops do?
Jean Charles de Menezes (7 January 1978 - 22 July 2005) was a Brazilian national shot dead by police at Stockwell tube station in London, England. He was shot in the head at close range by Metropolitan Police officers ("The Met") who claim they misidentified him as a suicide bomber about to explode a device on the London Underground. Within hours police discovered that he was not involved in any terrorist act, but was actually an innocent victim. Immediate and later accounts of what happened on the day of the shooting published in the press contradicted each other, specifically on the manner and clothing of de Menezes as he entered the station, and the presence of police warnings before firing.
In the early morning of February 4, 1999, Diallo was standing near his building after returning from a meal. Police officers Edward McMellon, Sean Carroll, Kenneth Boss and Richard Murphy passed by in a Ford Taurus when they thought Diallo matched the description of a (since-captured) serial rapist and approached him. The officers were in plain clothes. The officers claimed that they loudly identified themselves as NYPD officers and that Diallo ran up the outside steps toward his apartment house doorway at their approach, ignoring their orders to stop and "show his hands". As the suspect reached into his jacket, Carroll believed Diallo was drawing a firearm and yelled "Gun!" to alert his colleagues. The officers opened fire on Diallo and during the burst McMellon fell down the steps, appearing to be shot. The four officers fired forty-one shots, hitting Diallo nineteen times. Investigation found no weapons on Diallo's body; the item he had pulled out of his jacket was not a gun, but a wallet.
Only civilians wont have the years of training, experience, teamwork, and radio communications to reduce such catastrophic fuck ups. Say 5% of the students and staff at Virginia Tech were packing the day that Seung-Hui Cho started shooting people, and word got out that an Asian looking guy was shooting people. How many Asian looking guys are you going to find on a campus of 30,000 people and will be mistakenly shot at? What if some of those Asian looking guys are packing themselves, and return fire?
And not only will xenophobes be able to get Muslims kicked off planes for suspicious terroristicky activity (i.e. speaking in Arabic or praying), they can now get shot, too!
And those are from cops with years of training and experience working in teams with radio communication. Do you really think that a massive number of civilians wont make a massive number of deadly mistakes given the fact that they wont have those years of training, experience, teamwork, and radio communication to rely on?
If we didn't have such an insanely anti-gun society, those incidents may have ended with less loss of innocent life.
Suuure you would. Let's say that 5% of the student population was packing at Virginia Tech when news started spreading that there was an Asian looking kid with a backpack, shooting people. How many Asian looking people are you likely to find on a campus with up to 30,000 people on it? What if some of those Asian looking people are also packing, and start firing back when someone starts shooting at them?
Look at how China deals with corruption. The top recipients of TARP bailout money are still the highest paid execs in the financial industry. Whereas in China they execute your ass.
Introduction One of the new missions which has been introduced into GTA San Andreas is the ability to 'Pimp'. While this may sound a lot of fun, in reality it's just a disguised version of the Taxi Driver missions which involves you to pick up one or two Girls and drive them around town, dropping them off with their men, then picking then back up and taking them elsewhere. You will occasionally have to exit your vehicle and kill a few men who are causing trouble with the girls, but the basics of it are that you need to drive and deliver people the same way you would in a taxi.
Seriously, all you folks that think that religion doesn't account for the vast majority of the worlds bigotry needs to pull their heads out and start paying attention to history and current events.
Who's going to vote to ban gay marriage if there weren't any Southern Baptists and Mormons? Who's going to stone women to death for having sex in Afghanistan if there was no Sharia Law?

You benefit from the public school system even if you have 50 kids in private school or no kids at all, which is why you pay regardless.

but are still damaging the road the same amount and paying less to do so (a bad thing)
Somehow I doubt that a Prius (2,765 lb) or a Fit (2,390 lb) do as much damage to roads as a F-150 (6,000 lb) or an old LeSabre (3,500 lb).
Oh, we got it straight, alright: you're a tool.
Or, those people realize that it's not muskets vs muskets anymore.

But you, apparently, can read people's minds.
Since when has bloat been a valid excuse for poor design?
Oh, about since Microsoft first released Windows.
But not anyone who uses "Internet Explorer", to see your nitpick and raise you one.
Other than the fact you get an immediate "We are sorry, the page you requested cannot be found" error, of course.

Oh, wait...
woot
Sure, but he was comparing an AK-47 to a 50 cal, not the 50 cal to smaller calibers.
Talking to pro-control people, what I've noticed more than anything is this: They are from the city. They think "gun," they think "mugging."
Well...yeah. Do you know how ridiculous it sounds to compare guns in rural areas to guns in urban areas?
Basically, almost all the people who actually know a thing or two about guns are on the anti-control side of the debate. When the people for gun control write laws, their experience is largely drawn from movies rather than any personal experience, so their laws end up being silly and ineffectual.

Can you be certain the hack didn't come from Rockstar?
Can you be certain that Santa Clause doesn't exist?
Hot Coffee was burnt to disk - complete and playable - in every console and PC release of the game.
To quote Barney Frank - on what planet do you spend most of your time? That's complete nonsense, but you knew that already.
You're a tool. And a fool.
Other than the part where he's 100% right, of course.
Look at the China milk scandal.
Look at how China deals with corruption. The top recipients of TARP bailout money are still the highest paid execs in the financial industry. Whereas in China they execute your ass.
Hot Coffee was easy to access in every version of the game. It was not a third party mod or a patch in any ordinary meaning of the word.
Other than the fact that you had to patch the game, using a hack that did not come from Rockstar, of course.
That can't be allowed to happen.
Yawn. I suppose you wanted a recall of the Quake games when people started releasing nude skins for the game? We'll call you a whaaambulance, stat.
For the record, the game includes no pimping or drugs selling.
You're half right:
