Socialism is the realisation that a large proportion of a population are so self-centered and selfish that they simply don't realise the benefit of helping everyone in their society. "Without giving me nothing in return" - what are you smoking? If I have to give you examples, then you clearly don't have a fucking clue about what you're talking about. Your logic is a fucking joke.
They don't release the code they make, that makes them money, to the public. They use open source like Microsoft does in that respect - sure, they benefit from it, and they even create and release some open source software, but they are not an open source company. Not even close.
No, you just believe any old tripe that people tell you. Al Gore pushed for the funding to make the internet what it is today. Without him it would still most likely be an academic & military tool. But please, keep trotting out those old nuggets of shit.
Titbits, please! Tit is not rude, and doesn't need to be prudishly avoided. And, back on topic, you failed to specifically mention the pork-pie hats.;)
Not really - trains operate much closer to people and other obstacles. It's a lot easier for a car to be on train tracks than in front of a cruising plane. We already have autopilot systems that can do everything apart from taxi, and that wouldn't be impossible to automate. It's not actually that great of a stretch to get these things 100% automated.
Also you are confusing "unmanned" with "automated". UAVs, such as the theoretical unpiloted commercial passenger jets, can still be piloted, but remotely.
The safety records for Airbus vs. Boeing are nearly identical. The only reasons to not fly Airbus are either being (incorrectly) scared of technology, or some retarded patriotic bent. The various systems that stop pilots from doing things to the plane that cause it to drop out of the sky can be turned off at the flick of a switch. But I guess you don't want knowledge getting in the way of your patriotic fervor.
Your logic is, well, incorrect. The only difference between an UAV and a MAV (ie every aircraft currently in US skies) is that there is a person on board. The uses of the aircraft are the same. Why does simply taking the pilot out of the aircraft suddenly change its purpose? Your argument seems awfully paranoid to the point of delusional. Domestic spying? They can't do that with manned aircraft?
No, the $800k is what it costs the DoD to ensure he didn't leave anything on any of the computers he had access to. Just because it didn't seem like he left anything on the network, they can't take that at face value and just change the password and go about their business. They have to check each and every computer he touched, or could have touched.
Then don't go to those websites! You do realise that because of people like you blocking their more traditional adverts, that they now have to resort to such adverts? If people just sucked it up and weren't so cheap, we'd still have adverts like back in the day - lo-fi graphics, no sound, and mainly text. Instead we have the cluster fuck we have now, because of greedy bastards.
Or, you could stop being a cheap-skate, and let the site you clearly want to visit not have to pay for the honour of you visiting them. I'd never think of blocking adverts on any site I frequently visit, as it denies sites I obviously want to visit of their revenue. It's rather selfish to block adverts.
Downloading the content and not displaying it is only fair to the people hosting the websites you want to visit. If they don't serve up the adverts, they don't get revenue. If you don't like the adverts on a site, don't go to the site. Just spare the couple of KB, and get the site you admittedly appreciate some revenue to offset the bandwidth costs they incur to give you the information you want.

I just tried Safari 5 on Windows, and it's sooo slow. It's slower than IE. Chrome on the same machine (however) runs like shit of a shovel.
Your enemies hate what you do, not who you are. Stop doing that, and they'll cease to be your enemies. It's rather simple, but it means admitting bad things a country has done. The UK realised this, and not only did Republican and Unionist terrorism all but cease, but the rights of a nation were realised.
"Best" superpower? The country was founded on the boundless killing of the native inhabitants, even extending to annexing Hawaii and killing a shit-ton of Mexicans. Then the US got engaged in wars (real and proxy) against democratically-elected presidents, toppling democracies and installing their own dictators. Don't try to pretend the US is somehow better than other superpowers, as moral relativism is for the weak. The US is either good or not, and it certainly has done some seriously fucked-up shit in its short history. It's attitudes like yours, where you seem to be incapable of conceding the heinous actions of the US, that furthers those same heinous actions. History will repeat itself while people like you are blind to it. It's funny you talk about Iran, as Iran was a wonderfully westernised place, full of freedom, until the US decided that wasn't in the US's best interest, and installed a brutal dictator. Lovely stuff.
Poor analogy. The phone is opt-in, so your analogy would be better if you asked the OP whether they'd want any limits on any consensual person-to-person interaction they want, which I'm sure you realise is fucking retarded. Like your analogy.
No, they don't need 3x PCIe x16 slots each, just one, and they use the other two simply for space. You plug 2 in, covering up the first 6, then put the last one on the last uncovered slot, hanging over the board. Common practice.

Absolute bullshit. Your claim is not reflected in reality in any socialist country.

Autopilots don't taxi. They do everything else, but they don't taxi.

Most people don't have hardware so old it's not supported under Windows 7. I've yet to see anything fail.

No, it's just been open sourced, and the actual codecs for the format are nowhere near as mature or ubiquitous as H.264. Stop bullshitting.

Don't confuse Islam with Wahhabism. It's like confusing Christianity with the Klan.
Or, the third option - you don't know what it means to be a Muslim. Problem solved! We have a winner!

"Final" can mean "last" as in "end", but never "previous".

Correction - yup, they need two slots each. My bad.
No, they don't need 3x PCIe x16 slots each, just one, and they use the other two simply for space. You plug 2 in, covering up the first 6, then put the last one on the last uncovered slot, hanging over the board. Common practice.
