If you have a problem with soldiers, take it up with your government. Soldiers are just doing their job, and it's not very nice to see people being blown to bits. They may be "meat heads" but no-one deserves to be put through that kind of shit. All the thanks they get is illnesses like PTSD, which is a horrible condition that most people don't understand. They then get branded as "crazy" by society instead of being given the psychiatric help they need.
It depends what you mean by "understanding". They obviously have a very good understanding of how to dominate and monopolise their market, but very little understanding of how to have good public relations. You don't make this kind of crap public unless you want to be seen as the corporate assholes you really are.
I recall Ikari Warriors (1986) had a "toggle strafe" key which allowed you shoot in the same direction regardless of which direction you were walking. Since I don't know what "circle strafe" means I can't comment on whether this is circle strafing or not;)
I hate clicking on the "Make a Donation" button of some sites, and then seeing the PayPal login appear within a frame of the original site. That prevents me from making a donation
Just shift-click or ctrl-click the link and it'll appear in a new window or tab. Failing that in FireFox you can right click -> this frame -> view frame info to see the URL. But yes, it's pretty dumb putting this stuff in a frame so you can't see the URL. Also if the framed page was encrypted with SSL, you wouldn't see the padlock icon.
You realise that technically, that's a felony, right? That's tampering with a computer system, and I'd like to see you cool your heels in jail for a bit to teach you to respect other people's property, you snotty git./blockquote.
You noticed he said "London", right? The term "felony" means nothing in this country, and if a student tried take a teacher to court for this under "tampering with a computer system" it'd probably get laughed out of court. We haven't yet reached the level of petty litigation so common in the US, and that's probably a Good Thing.
And while you're standing there explaining that, waving your stick around and guffawing like a martial-arts nerd, I've already knocked you out with a punch to the head and cut you up into little pieces;)
I agree entirely with what you're saying and it's a great shame that some people think they're correct to shoot people in their home without asking questions first. They must have a very over-inflated sense of self worth and undervalue the life of others. But this is a common phenomenon in modern culture, and one that is on the rise.
I was burgled once and the burglar took my CD collection and a few other bits. Whilst I was a bit upset I wouldn't describe myself as traumatised, I have had far worse experiences. If I had been there and had a gun or a knife handy I would never have considered trying to kill the people in my apartment. They probably would have shit themselves and run away anyway.
So why was this person burgling my flat? Probably he was a drug addict trying to get money for dugs. Why is this person a drug addict? He's probably had a bad childhood to want to try to escape reality with drugs. People are not usually born bad, bad experiences cause psychological damage which makes them bad, perhaps through no fault of their own. What do we do? Lock them up and throw away the key causing further pshycological damage or shoot them dead when they burgle our homes. Not very fair, is it?
People that have had a good upbringing and had all their needs met find it hard to empathise with people that have had otherwise and have ended up on the wrong side of society, never to return to the right side. Why are there so many people below the poverty line in the US? I wonder, maybe it's to do with the spread of selfish attitudes like the person who would shoot someone for coming into their home to look at their potato chip collection. It's easy to condemn other people for being "criminals" or "felons" but it's not so easy to rehabilitate people back into society. Without empathy for our fellow humans, we're all up shit creek.
Someone looking at your potato chip collection after walking through your unlocked door does not warrant them being shot dead, and you're clearly two sandwiches short of a picnic if you think it does. Without even going into the devastation and trauma to the trespassers family and friends, clearly life is worth more than that. Besides, two wrongs don't make a right. Have a nice day, fruitcake.
You seem to have missed the point. No one is denying it's against the law. People are concerned that this guy will be punished too harshly for the crime.
Nowhere is perfect, but the criminal justice system in the US isn't terrible. Most of the problems are inefficiency and letting people off easily, not overly harsh punishment.
Yeah, like pot smoking hippies. They go around terrorising innocent people with their "peace and love". They should be banged up for life as "felons", innit!
No, that's the way the US works. US != world, despite how much you might believe it. It seems the US thinks they can just call anyone a terrorist and then treat them exactly as they please.
Torture is torture mate, there's no getting away from it and there's no excusing it. The accounts I have read left me in no doubt it's torture. I don't know what you've heard, probably some sanitised bullshit version of events that downplays the whole thing. You think your government wants you to know what's going on there? Go read some non-US reports and then tell me it's not torture.
The Association for the Welfare of Hackers, Pirates, Terrorists.
Yeah, lump him in with the terrorists. He was doing something against US interests, *therefore he must be a terrorist*, right? Lock him up in Guantanamo and torture him until he admits to plotting to blow up the whitehouse then sentence him to death.
AC: Hello Haeleth aka Kokgobbler!
Haeleth: Gobble Gobble Gobble!
AC: What are you trying to say? It's hard to understand with that big kok stuffed down your throat.
Haeleth: GOBBLE GOBBLE GOBBLE!
AC: Alrighty then! Thank you for that dose of nonsense that was your post. Now let me back up very so slowly and get out of here so you can continue fellating the/. crowd in peace....
So this is the mentality of a typical Mac fanboy...

That's funny, I'm using a laptop with a Radeon 9800 and the ATI drivers.

Traumatic stress is probably not the same thing as the stress you're thinking of.
No need to be abusive.

But surely the huge gif with the padlock image makes it secure ;)

Seriously, it's because the home page isn't requested over https. If you type some false details in the username/password fields and hit return the page comes back over https. Or you can go straight to https://chaseonline.chase.com/colappmgr/colportal
