Android, os open source. There is actually a large community of people that work hard to create their own works of art within Android, as a part of android not as slaves to Apple. If you wanted you could create and build your own Android phone OS from source code and modify it any way you want. A tattoo is part of your description of yourself.. if you have an apple tattoo you are just describing what you follow not what you create and that is a big difference.
Just a question.. if "Google stuff" is a poor mans Apple, then why is IOS copying all of it's "features" from android.. or can you name more than a couple that haven't been copied in the last few years.. oh, that's right you can't plug in headphones anymore.. super cool "feature"..
The price of guava juice in Brazil is what you say?
I can't get what you are saying, are you defending the right of ISP's to censor content?
I don't care about what companies may or may not do in the past or in the future, I care about what is happening now. If I can I'll try to protect my rights for future use but this thread is about my rights online and bringing up that the companies now trying to protect my right online may have future intent is irrelevant and seems like an attempt to obfuscate the subject we are concerned with now.
This is an honest statement and an intelligent one. Look, direct retaliation in the form of "you are a poo head too" isn't always the best action to take. Russia is not the best place for this kind of retaliatory strike anyway, they are too much in control of who has access to government via gunning down opponents in the street. An appropriate response may involve many things, like sanctions and UN, and ally pressure to get them to back off. Direct retaliation would be stupid. You are trying to make it sound like he said that he did not agree with any retaliation, which is not true.
The actual email read out loud by Trump during the election was an edited version (edited in a Cyrillic version of Microsoft word) with an inserted piece from a known Russian propaganda site. It's not about what the emails said it's what the Russians added to the emails that make it nefarious. I can, and will give links if asked but it seems the flat earthers just can't accept any reporting of reality.
just a question without malice. Why is your right to own guns more important than my right to have sarin gas or the artillery to use it in shell form?
Mind you I am a gun owner, but this 2nd amendment thing is starting to sound like Jesus rode a dinosaur across the Potomac River to fight the British.
Hacking has never been some sort of NSA secret code sort of thing. It's always been about scamming people out of passwords and using simple tricks to get what you want. Saying that "there is No HACKING" is a false flag. Just because I offer to hold someone's purse so they can take off their broken shoes doesn't mean that someone might use the same tactic to steal the purse. HACKING doesn't mean some kind of high tech super laser satellite thing. It's just another scam.
you can't stop people from having guns. Guns are a part of America. It would take generations to get rid of all of them. You can, however, control access to ammunition. Ammunition is a commodity, There is only one manufacturer in the US that creates nitrocellulose. It is an amazingly difficult substance to create.
Control access to ammunition and you control gun use. Anyone can buy ammo. If people had to have a background check and a card to show it to buy ammo it would be much more difficult for criminals to get it.
The issue is not whether or not guns cause people to be violent. I'm a gun owner.. no seriously ask me about guns I keep up on it. Guns don't make me violent and I doubt that guns make a shooter violent. However, access to guns allows a shooter to fulfill his violent motives. That is the issue. Don't get me wrong I love my guns. I grew up shooting. As long as the consensus in America is that losing a few kids every month is worth the price so that I can target practice on weekends I'm not going to worry about it. I can't do anything by giving up my guns, but I'm not stupid enough to think that guns don't damage human beings. I go through a lot of trouble to make sure that my guns are secure at all times. (my father would beat us if we accidentally pointed a gun at someone).. if you don't think that guns can harm other humans I have no idea what else to say.
You've actually answered your own question. It is the same as knife violence in China or bomb violence in Europe. Only they don't have guns in China or Europe, and you can run from someone with a knife, and you can't walk into a store and buy a bomb, but otherwise yes it's the same.
Seriously, there are only two ways to look at the second amendment. One, it is the right to stand up against a tyrannical government. In which case we should be able to have automatic weapons, howitzers and tomahawk missiles. Two, it was written from the point of view at a time and place, which means that people should legally be able to possess muzzle loading black powder weapons. Fair enough, if a mass shooter can manage to pull that off I'll raise a couple eyebrows.
You, my friend, have hit the nail on the head. 12000 deaths by automobile accident every year. Why should anyone care about a few kids being put down as long as we can plink away at cans in the back yard. Cars take me to work, the police protect me. It's nearly the same thing.
Where do you get the idea that education is somehow owned by the left? Because the left is smart and the right is dumb?
You are of course completely right. There are educators out there teaching creation as science, but anyone with half a brain wouldn't call that science or education. You can learn that in one day in a sunday school class. If you wan't the ability to cure cancer through genetic engineering or the ability to diagnose and cure Alzheimer's or Parkinson's then you will have to take more time than what the average right wing teacher gives their student's in knowledge and understanding of the world around them.

The emails were real, but edited. The line Trump quoted during his run for president was cut and pasted into the email using a Russian language version of microsoft office. The actual line was a quote from a Russian propaganda website. https://www.npr.org/2016/10/11...

I could really fill a volume here there is so much out there.
If America want's to represent Democratic values i.e. capitalism, rule by the people for the people, on a world stage, with the willingness to represent and defend those people who cannot. Then we must as a nation defend those things. We have a president who will not or cannot defend those things that have been so sacred to our institution. The rule of law over government, the desire to promote the will of the people over tyrannical leaders, the hope that all of us will have some say in our own lives, and the willingness to defend others. That is the America I fight for. Not Nazi's, not white power, not America first. https://www.snopes.com/dr-seus...
Or maybe it's just that conservatives lack any sort of creative ability. If you don't like movies being made by liberals go make your own damn movies. There have been a few.. they just suck because ultra nationalist conservative dogma at it's face value is awful to look at, and even worse to live out on screen.
I'm going to look back and miss the excitement of 2018.
These are the halls of law in the US. These are the people that make the laws, that change the laws. They don't have to worry about breaking them. They can simply change them for their needs. All they need to do is win in the court of public opinion and as far as I can see that is nowhere near decided.
Something very similar to this played out in the 1930's somewhere in Europe. In the end, the authoritarians won. Don't think we are immune because people here know better, or that the right wing in our country is not as hard line as theirs was. There is still a way to go on this one.
When people we would have considered average can reasonably accept the explanation that "being a nazi", and "fighting against the nazis" is equally bad. We have a problem.
I'd mod this up to six.. seriously. As the US moves closer and closer to an authoritarian regime where news is only a lie and only the privileged have rights this becomes more and more the reality and less the skepticism it used to be.
Personally I've found Blender to be a more than capable 3d graphics sweet if you know how to use it. There are things that are better about 3DS and there are things that Blender can do that 3DS cannot.
FreeCAD is somewhat usable but early enough in it's development that the interface is a total mess. The workbenches seem thrown together and sometimes have identical tools that work just slightly differently. I've successfully used it personally and professionally so I can tell you that it is capable, but I would never recommend it to someone with years of time into Solidworks. (not if they want to retain their hair).
I'm not a pro photo guy, but I have used darktable and found it useful. Whether or not it is useful to you is obviously your call. I invested time into learning open source equivalents years ago knowing that software and licenses change to much for the average consumer to find proprietary software financially worthwhile.
Back in the day the British did this with the tea trade. Only British owned ships could transport to Britain. By the mid 1840's they were getting owned by cheaper, faster American shipping worldwide. In 1850 they were forced to open shipping up to other countries to force British shippers to get with the times and compete.
If you expect protected American companies to be able to compete on the world stage you are delusional at best. American companies have risen to the competition in the past and were in the process of doing so before this happened. Now we have an artificially created short supply on panels. I don't see this helping anyone, especially America
The company owns the housing and the food. They set the prices to make sure that people can't make enough to do anything except survive. If it isn't slave labor by name it is in practice.

Yes, because guns are just as valuable to our daily commute as cars are.. well maybe in California..

I can't help but wonder how many hundreds or thousands of psychotic teenagers the FBI is trying to track at any given moment.
