APK, you are not going to win any friends by assuming we are all too stupid to realise that it's not you posting these ridiculous sycophantic messages. We know it's you. You know it's you. Stop lying for once in your life. Be an adult.
It's a lot more than just a "fancy-pants test". So much more. They know pretty much everything about London. Try entering "Half-way down that road opposite the old Tesco's in Essex Road" into your GPS and see where that leads you. Cabbies know London intimately. They know how the traffic at a given location is, and how it will be in 30 minutes. They know which roads have temporary closures, which legal-for-them-but-not-for-non-cabbies short-cuts they can take, and so on. GPS is truly a wonderful invention - I absolutely love it. Having used black cabs for years, it's clear they have nothing in a black cabby.
They were willing to hand over Bin Laden, if the US could provide evidence of his complicity in the attacks. The US refused to proffer the evidence they had, and so the Taliban refused to hand him over.
You really should read up about VPNs as you seem woefully misinformed about how they work and what they are used for. Seriously. It was funny before, but now it's kind of embarrassing.
VPNs and anonymous proxies are both used for avoiding geo-blocking. Saying someone should only use the latter is somewhat silly, considering anonymous proxies are even more leaky than a well-configured VPN.
And one side is a country claiming to be a western, democratic, functioning bastion of diplomacy, and the other is continually under siege and being eroded gradually and systematically. Not differentiating the two isn't really helping your argument.
Your consumer protection rights suck where you are. In more civilised countries you would simply send/bring it back to the place you bought it from, and offer you a replacement card or your money back. The shop would then deal with Gigabyte, and any delays Gigabyte cause will only affect the merchant, not the consumer.
If we apply those rules to, say, phone manufacturers, we'd end up with massive, phones (as modularity takes lots of space - screws, sockets, etc.) which will be obsolete 40% of the way in to their mandated warranty period. The suppliers will have to keep massive stocks of parts, driving up the cost of each phone.
You've not really thought this one through, have you?
He doesn't have to suggest an alternative - he was just making an observation. You are right, though - democracy is screwed, but it's the best option we currently have. Yes, the western world has a problem with obesity, but the #1 leader is the US.
If one doesn't understand the market they might assume all phones are built to the same standards and therefore switching manufacturers would cause them hassle.
Are you still hurt you keep getting called out on your misogyny? I remember that one time you said women shouldn't be scientists. What a shining example of intelligence you are.
You can't lump all people who dislike racism/homophobia/sexism/etc. together. Clearly that's nonsense - people are different, and there is no single "SJW Inc." which dictates their actions.
One extension being sub-par does not make them all sub-par. That is terrible logic.
Using ADB to update your HOSTS files is ridiculous, and HOSTS protection is far from perfect. A wildcard advertising domain can not be blocked by a HOSTS file unless the HOSTS file is megabytes large just for the single wildcard domain. If you don't understand why, you really need (more) help.
That's entirely not what they mean by security. Not even close. I suggest you read the project's description again, as you seem to have missed most of it.
Hint: When you try to sum up a civil war being supported by parties ranging from the US to Iran, Israel to Russia, from France to Turkey, in a couple of paragraphs, you will undoubtedly be wrong. And you are wrong. You've missed out so many details (and confused a few terms) that it rendered your post next to useless.
You should probably fix your own ignorance before complaining about others'. Just sayin'.

Please be quiet - adults are trying to talk.

Who is being dishonest now?

They don't want anonymity! They want to bypass geo-blocking. That is a perfect use for a VPN.

That's all you've got? That's how you defend your logically-bankrupt disgusting condemnation of millions? You are a terrible, terrible human being.
So if some dude in a tank pulled up to your house and claimed it as his own, you'd just go find another house, happy that he has his land.
Gotcha.
The massive amount of people killed each year by guns probably has something to do with it. It's a bit more than a meme if it's demonstrably true.
If you think your guns let you defend yourself against the government, you really need some help.

Says the guy called "NRAisFreedom"... The irony is palpable.

It can house pathogens perfectly suited for screwing up people, as it's people meat.

The case is far from closed.

Reading's not your strong suit, is it? No wonder you believe the bizarre things you post on Slashdot. It all makes sense now.
Nurse! He's off his meds! Security!
That has got nothing to do with anything outside your strange mind. Can you please let the adults keep discussing the topic at hand?
So you have no examples, just a hunch based on some perceived conflict of interest. Good jerb!
