Film got the ideas of Guy Fawkes a bit... one-sided. He and collaborators were trying to bring about theocracy and put end to religious tolerance by murdering the parliament and current ruler.

Thank you. Every time I see some twat in a Guy Fawkes mask, I want to ask them why they want to introduce a brutal Catholic dictatorship.
It also could allow politicians to ban a subject by deeming it terrorist content. "You think you have a right to look at information on birth control? Well, that could be used by terrorists so we've classified all birth control information as 'terrorist content.' You are now under arrest for viewing terrorist content."
In every life, of a human being, of a company, of a country and even of a website, there is four phases. People liken them to the four seasons. Spring, with its growth, Summer where things shine and where you are on top, Fall when the momentum keeps you going despite being past your prime and Winter when you slowly wither away and die.
No offence, but that's reactionary romantic supernatural fascist bullshit.
I remember what happened with a couple of kids felt so rejected and so alone that they retreated into a cesspool of resentment and no one cared to notice until the violence came
Yeah, let's not forget who the real victims of highschool shootings are.
From what I've seen in stand-up comedy and TV shows, it could be useful for Americans wanting to take a vacation in the UK.
Why is it that Americans moan about hard to understand UK dialects/accents, whereas no one here has any problem watching US TV shows whether they're set in Alaska, New York or Texas? Is American English just more homogeneous?
"The only type of person capable of taking out that shooter from the crowd at the critical moment would be a fully trained and equipped sniper with combat experience"
Wrong. Hunters regularly pull off 300+ yard shots all the time with a piddly.30-06.
Generally the deer aren't firing back and dropping bodies round you.
Yep. Can you believe these kids think there will be a computer in almost every home soon. They clearly don't understand the obstacles and how much progress we would have to make for that to happen? - Almost every "expert" right before it happened
This is a popular but feeble argument on slashdot.
"People used to say man could never fly: now we have aeroplanes. Therefore time travel will be possible one day."
How can you name a train? A train is an ephemeral object - they come and go as carriages are added and removed.
There appears to be a more limited use of the word "train" for US readers. In British English, you can use train to refer either to the whole locomotive-plus-carriages, or just the locomotive.
Here in the UK, most people would say that (for instance) the "Flying Scotsman" was a train.
Why? Because, in time, it will become vulnerable to all sort of attacks
This is misleading. The software is already vulnerable to all possible attacks. Over time, existing vulnerabilities might be exploited. Software does not become vulnerable because it is not 'supported'. That's not to say there is a risk, but the risk is not directly that the software is not supported.
You seem to have overlooked the phrase "in time". No one is saying that software magically becomes vulnerable the second support stops.
Up next: UK Internet to be separated from the "pool of filth" that the worldwide Internet is. To be replaced by "clean, healthy and non-degenerate UK contents". Also, UK borders to be closed in both direction and to be secured by mine-fields and auto-guns (know-how comes from former GDR experts) to protect UK people from wandering into dangerous rest-of-the world areas.
When it comes to Citizens vs Government, the key factor is whether the military are prepared to back the government and kill large numbers of civilians. If they are, having a shotgun and revolver isn't going to do you much good against artillery, tanks, machine guns, fighter-bombers and attack helicopters.
I can't let this go.
I think you got the right author but the wrong book in this case.
Fyodor Dostoyevsky wrote 'The Idiot' whose title would have been perfect for the guy holding it. It was only about 600-700 pages, though it may be possible to find a leather bound edition.
Leo Tolstoy wrote War and Peace which was certainly quite a fatter book. I've read both said books and while I found them both absolutely amazing, I have never found any other authors EVER that take that long to read.
Try Proust. The full set of "A la recherche du temps perdu" would probably stop a fucking Howitzer shell.
My work explores the relationship between emerging sexualities and unwanted gifts.
With influences as diverse as Wittgenstein and Andy Warhol, new synergies are distilled from both constructed and discovered dialogues.
Ever since I was a teenager I have been fascinated by the unrelenting divergence of relationships. What starts out as contemplation soon becomes manipulated into a manifesto of temptation, leaving only a sense of decadence and the possibility of a new beginning.
As intermittent phenomena become frozen through diligent and repetitive practice, the viewer is left with a tribute to the limits of our future.
Well that pretty much made sense, so I'm not sure you've quite got the hang of it yet.

This is the UK we're talking about, not the US.
They're recruiting a lot of people. Is that really disruption? I thought that meant doing something radically different and new.
The article uses disruption in an inaccurate, buzzwordy way, perhaps it's some sort of subtle dig at MBA-speak?

Twat.
the problem is politics has become intractably intertwined with life at all levels now
What you mean is that politics you don't agree with has become intertwined with life.
In reality, you can't abstract politics from life, any more than economics.
Racism is wrong regardless of whether 52% of people apparently think otherwise at a given point in time.

Murdering a load of random strangers is by definition a sign of some sort of psychotic breakdown.
A month ago self driving cars up to speed of 60km/h where approved in Germany, I believe it is an Audi.
So what is your point?
I think the point is that self driving cars aren't going to rise up against humanity.

You should replace the batteries in your smoke alarm.
Wait, they use batteries?
Oh, I don't know... Could be true as long as you totally zero out the "R&D", "Labor" and "Fuel costs" lines in the spread sheet.
Yes, I think they're talking about the marginal cost of firing a shot, so basically just the electricity used by the weapon.

Pretty good summary of the Brexit mindset there.
feel free to give money away, if you believe that's a good thing, no one's stopping you.
Yes, I'm pretty sure most of us on Slashdot could finance a nation wide student loan system to replace the government's.
Pillock.
How exactly does one win having a house in Texas?
Second prize is having two houses in Texas.
before every normie had a web browser in their pocket
Just a friendly word of advice, but using the word "normie" makes you sound like a stupid fucking twat.

I think there needs to be a new "-1 for quoting Red Dawn as a source" mod option.

I tried Linux DOS but bash, their version of command.com, isn't very good.
There seem to be a lot of humourless mods today. That's comedy gold.
