If you don't have money in the stock market directly, you have it there indirectly. In this case you are almost as vulnerable, and pay a massive tax to those you don't trust.
You've done the research, so correct me if I'm wrong, but I always assumed the purpose of the mad-max truck, the weapons, and the ammunition was to raid or take over farms, and the like. (And you can create make-shift gasoline using biomatter, so you should be able to make that truck keep working until a part breaks that you just can't fab).
You see, in the realm of real-life inter-person communication, trailing off signals a certain set of things. The recipient then scans through this set, and compares it to the possible set of additional meaning that could be attached to the words preceding. In this case, the poster is 'cutting-out' as they would be in response to the communication recipient making some sort of micro-gesture upon realization of the incongruity of the sent communication, in order to allow them to be sure that it was, in fact, a joke/sarcastic/irony.
The OSS 'philosophy' is a diluted, ad-hoc, pragmatic version of the philosophy of Freedom-respecting software. It is inherently weak and has and will be diluted for marketing purposes, and to placate 'sufficient portions' of the philosophically divided, weak OSS 'community'.
OSS is devoid of an idealist core, its 'idealism' is a (often unfounded) claim of pragmatic superiority. It will be diluted until the newspeak makes NDA-source == OSS.
Have you met the majority for CS grads in North America recently? They are primarily stoned gamers who's parents friends convinced them to become programmers, despite their complete lack of fitness for that career path. Thanks to the decrease in difficulty in required CS courses at most universities in order to increase graduation rates, the statistical competence of grads has jumped off a cliff in the past few years.
Telling the truth is not libel. Giving the vendor advanced notice about announcing a vulnerability is not blackmail or extortion (in fact, its a public service). Furthermore, libel is not a criminal matter. Please reply with rationality, and not kneejerk-fear in the future.
Tell the vendor that if the bug is not fixed within 2 months, you will notify any customers of theirs that you are aware of about the issue (and ask them to forward accordingly) such that they can protect themselves from the coming storm, and shortly after announce the vuln. publicly, with a Proof of Concept exploit.
Even if you are unwilling to follow through with your threat (read: a pussy), the threat may well be quite effective.
To take your lead on interjection: while you were entirely correct, and your 'opponent' entirely wrong and your interjection appropriate, from a third-party perspective you did come across as a bit 'dickish'.
Most likely this was quite counter-productive with respect to making your opponent see his wrongness. Your arguments-- while based in logic-- seemed to have a violent, almost zealous component. This is bound to lead to knee-jerk reactions from those who are sensitive to perceived emotional attack.
As the original study/seems/ (at face-layman value) to be an expose on the backroom actions of big pharma. The findings are intuitive and were published in a major journal with no obvious (monetary) reason for falsehood. Perhaps fame for the authors would be a reason to make this up... but certainly less compelling than the alternative.
Mercury in vaccines bad? Sounds reasonable.
Big corporation cover up to save profit margins? Sounds likely.
Definite? Certainly not. Worth investigating without the resistance of pretentious douche-bags who pretend to be world class researchers... ?
A good conspiracy theory sounds reasonable (including clear reasons, and potential participants for cover up), tugs at heart strings, AND has the support of an/some authority(ies) on the subject. This had all of them.

The website states it pays 'Fair Trade' wages. I'll wait for the version that pays 'market' wages, and passes the slavings on to you.
Or, maybe they will use them to buy US dollars or Euros.

False. Some bugs affect only some operating systems and archetectures. Additionally, chrome has added security in the form of a sandbox. A sec

I didn't realize so many people physically removed boxed copies of software... Surely they could just download a copy?

Calm down, old man. You'll have a heart attack.

>Why invent the wheel?
I believe the idiom you are looking for is "Why reinvent the wheel."
Off the top of my head I can think of a great number of reasons to invent the wheel.
Opera hasn't had ads for years. It is totally free as in beer.
September 20, 2005
Opera Software today permanently removed the ad banner and licensing fee from its award-winning Web browser.
This issue has escaped the realm of scientific debate. The debate is now political, tribal and psychological.
Enjoy your distraction, human fools.
Unless i'm horribly mistaken... I think the 'front of chip melted off with acid' would be a pretty good indication of an attack...
