No, the USA doesn't have strong protections for minorities, unless you're using the term to describe race or gender. But I'm using it in the more traditional sense. As in, a minority of people like me believe that parents should solely be footing the bill for their own childrens eductation. Democracy allows them to fill out a piece of paper before pointing a gun at me and telling me I have to contribute. Mob role simply eliminates the filling out of the piece of paper. Oh yes, the theft is more civilized I suppose, but its still theft.
Its not "obviously" superior, which is why our founders didn't implement it. Of course we've undone much of that over the last 200 years, which is why we are at this point today.
Everyone deserves rights and freedom and self-determination; democracy takes mob rule and formalizes it so that it seems morally ok for 51 people to push around 49.
I have more than 40 opens open, and use it every Thursday of every month. I don't have crashes, so yes that's exactly right. On the flip side, I had used Linux for over a year as my primary desktop, and it most certainly DID crash. Nothing big, I mean why should I expect something as basic as SOUND to work properly? Or the mail client not "forgetting" 3/4 of my messages (I mean, its totally reasonable to expect to dig in and delete the clients index file, right?).
As far as deep freeze goes, I've never heard of it, nor has anyone else in my office. Guess its not as popular as you think.
It depends on the "dispicable" action in question. If its gay sex, I fail to see what right the mob has to attempt to humiliate someone because they decide its "despicable."
So mob rule is better than some nutjob king? I'm not sure I follow how one is "better" than the other. Maybe if there are strong protections for minority rights (i.e., like the US was supposed to be).
Given your comments, I doubt you tried even Vista. Windows is not insecure by design either and properly setup is ever bit as secure as Linux. Whether or not it encourages brainless people is irrelevent, since we also let them drive cars, vote, and buy guns.
At least you seem reasonable in that it shouldn't matter what OS someone is using, if they're infected it should be fixed.
But I've been running Windows for years, and have never had an infection because I set my system up properly (which is much easier as I said in Vista). I've even hit the drive by downloads which infect XP machines (to some extent... they don't seem to be able to reek full havok until the user actually elects to run the program), and because of protected mode I see the page, and that's it. I close the browser and move on, still infection free.
Hmm... I had just wrapped up Fallout 3 and all the addons, although I do have to go back and get some trophies that I missed. Its good to know that its a two way sync though.
And you go into a land relatively uninhabited where you have a much harder time working with others and maintaining your own machine. Oh, and there's not insecure about MS, its how most MS boxes are configured. Fortunately Vista started to finally address the issue of running as admin.
I say we should tax Linux as well, since we know alot of people setup the box and then NEVER PATCH, leaving them vunerable as well.
What I don't understand is my system played fine Sun night and Monday night. At least, it synced trophies and Bioshock played. I have one of the newer fat models though, maybe that's the difference.
Trophies are stored locally, and only synced if you select the Trophies area of the XMB. If you read the PS3 backup docs, it explains it doesn't back up trophies, and the only way to back them up is to sync to PSN.
Whatever. I haven't tried mine today, and it worked last night. If it doesn't work, yes I'll be upset, but as long as its fixed pretty quickly, I don't see a reason to stay pissed. A few hours of inconvience compared to many more enjoying it isn't worth cutting off the leg when you just stubbed your toe.
I don't expect things to never, ever, ever, break (and if you do, don't buy a house). There are a few exceptions... my car being one, because a stuck gas pedal could lead to my death (and I don't own a Toyota anyway).

If you need telnet to do your job... well, have fun back in the 1980s.
Nothing wrong with that. SL will work on FF, IE or Safari, and on Windows or Mac.
Plus its a great way to use all those MS devs out there, who (like me) don't know Flash.
Oh, you mean like google?

In no location in the US is sex out of wedlock illegal.
A robot can't enter into a contract though, I would imagine.

Or maybe you could, you know, stop sharing music you don't have the right to, and spend the $0.99 for the song on Amazon if you want to play it.

Actually that's the jury's role. The role of the judge is to ensure procedure is followed.

Yes and a properly configured and good AV program you won't notice is there at all, like AVG.
And you go into a land relatively uninhabited where you have a much harder time working with others and maintaining your own machine. Oh, and there's not insecure about MS, its how most MS boxes are configured. Fortunately Vista started to finally address the issue of running as admin.

Why even bother with that, when you can get AVG free for personal use already?

Interesting assertion. Crime has more than one influence factor, yet if it weren't for a single influencing factor, crime might be lower.
I think you just proved my point.
Following your silly analogy, clearly the Twinkies are not something to worry about then, is it?

How did they rule out that humans by nature are violent animals?
Doubtful. Violent video games have been around for a while now, and VIOLENT CRIME CONTINUES TO DECREASE.
But don't believe me, just take a look at the DOJ website.
How about we worry about people actually abusing children instead of what movies people are watching?
so as long as we can get our hands on a server capable of running Linux KVM
Linux needs a server just to run a kbd-video-mouse box?
