McVeigh only needed four things - drums of 36-0-0 ammonium nitrate, many gallons of diesel fuel, transportation for the materials, and an ignition source.
I can tell you've never built a bomb on the level McVeigh did. It takes zero intelligence to do. We used to make that shit all the time for removing tree stumps.
I'm sorry, are you still failing to comprehend? Doing direct-connection is for troubleshooting, as stated in the same post mentioning the PS3? Or are you too stupid to know that Zandronum is a PC thing, not a PS3 thing? Google too hard for you to use?
Everything is blocked here. Even with my main system hooked directly to the modem, I can't even run a simple Zandronum server on port 10666 to play Doom.
My PS3, directly connected to the modem, cannot do anything online with the weird exception of letting me see how others died in Dark Souls. Can't do Mortal Kombat online, Can't do Gran Turismo, can't do shit.
"What I found wasn't that I was having connection problems on my end, but it was the servers that I was connecting to which seemed to be the bottle neck."
That's not the issue here. Everything seems capped at roughly 30-40 mbit. Torrents, downloads, even YouTube has some 'buffering issues' thanks to Charter. Speedtest.net can't even give me more than a reported 40 mbit and they're supposed to be THE defacto speed testing site on this planet.
I'm starting to wonder if I can't file a class-action against them like I did EA. I can understand getting maybe 80 mbit, but consistently getting less than half of my advertised speed is total bullshit, especially when my internal home network is all business/enterprise/big-business class hardware.
These people lie constantly. When I signed up for Charter, I asked if I could run temporary instances of game servers so I could play my favorite games online. They said yes. That's a big lie, they block pretty much every port. I call to talk about this, I get sent to business class support, which ends up saying "We don't block anything over port 8080, so you should be able to run your games just fine."
Nope. Can't connect or host shit on my PS3, or my computer.
Then to boot, I'm paying for 100 mbit down. I can NEVER get more than 30mbit down.
Charter is a business full of false advertising and sheer incompetence. Avoid these fuckers like the plague if you can. As soon as Verizon FIOS is available here, I'm ditching Charter. Fuck those lying sons of bitches.
You didn't offend, but your comment does show (yes, USA) that you aren't educated enough about the issue over here. While the general gist (over-proscribed) is correct, it's actually much much worse. The pharmaceutical companies basically pay shrinks to use these new medications and push them as hard as they can, consequences be damned.
No, I had the condition. The problem was they were throwing me on these drugs starting at age 5 or 6. That totally threw my body way out of whack. a nasty hit of antidepressants plus amphetamines. My endocannabinoid system is blown to the point where even the best weed doesn't get me high, it just puts me at a stable level and barely manages constant pain I have from having implanted skeletal parts.
"I would take issue with your last statement though - I don't think your assertion is logically sound."
As a former lab rat of nearly 20 years (Ritalin, Adderal, Desipramine) I'm going to say you don't have the in-depth experience or education to be able to make your statement with any authority.
It most certainly is a con. None of those things worked for me, and in fact made things worse.
Enjoy your blown and overloaded endocannabinoid system.
And I'll get it nullified as a contract of adhesion, since there is no true meeting of the minds and no negotiable conditions of the contract (which apparently many judges absolutely fucking fail to understand, when it comes to contract law.)
The other problem is that those making the complaints, along with their idiot lawyers, fail to understand this as well despite it being a second-year subject.
EA's Bankrupt now. I'm partly responsible for that. I kicked their EULA to the curb and they settled. Had they not settled, they'd have been dead sooner rather than now, and very likely my case would've seen the USSC and been made case law.
You'll blame the druglords yet never point a finger at the man that essentially controls Mexico's entire telecommunications and enables these fuckers to do what they're doing, and you'll not point a finger at their corruption, instead choosing to try to place the blame on one group/crimetype and totally ignoring all other major contributing factors.
How about you realize that your narrow point of view is worse than what's currently ruining other countries, as well as your spreading of such ill-informative FUD?
"Liberties are being sacrificed because we are sacrificing liberties to gain peace of mind and not getting any safer."
FTFY since you still cannot figure out the real things, here.

"really, one case against the piles and piles of data in other countries that show, overall a clear reduction?"
Lets add 9/11. That was planes, not guns.
Let's add every bombing, suicide bombing, vehicular manslaughter.
You've got worse problems than the GUNS. To think otherwise is damned foolish.
No claims are changing, you must be blind, child.

"If you're only getting 30 Mbps max, you've almost certainly got an old DOCSIS 2.0 cable modem instead of a DOCSIS 3.0 modem"
Wrong, in fact I have TWO modems, one for Internet, one for voice. Both are the latest.
"You'll also want to ditch your sub-par 100BASET router for a gigabit router"
I see you neglected to read where I mentioned I'm running an infiniband switch. Your single gigabit pales in comparison to my 40gbit backbone.
Try again when you're actually able to read, follow, and comprehend the discussion, yes?

It's not on my end considering I have enterprise/big-business class hardware inside the home, including infiniband switch.
It's Charter.
"I don't really get why people hate the built-in apps that they never have to see or use."
Because it is fucking bloat and additional bullshit that is taking up space on my hard drive, and the majority of it you can't fucking remove.
Another victim of our failing educational system...

Stimulants have plenty to do with the endocannabinoid system. But you wouldn't know since it seems you failed basic biology.

I work in porn so it's immediately the first thing I read it as.
Please. We've got wrappers from O*L to DX, and the performance hit is so negligible in proper implementations as to be absolutely laughable.
You're the uninformed one, troll. It has always come out that a PC wins on price vs a perfectly-matched Mac.
It's redone on 4chan's /g/ every fucking day, side by side up to date price and spec comparisons.

"use the time you are medicated to do CBT"
Being medicated is probably the best time for cock and ball torture anyways.
Out comes the Linux Mantra, but for an MS product! Wow.

Regulators won't bother them.
Well-armed paranoid people will kill them.
Doesn't matter. Eventually someone will get pissed enough and they will kill those responsible.
Those who fail to learn from history...
"If the system hears a keyword, it increments a counter associated with the keyword but that is all it does,"
Which would (in reality) still get transmitted for advertising info purposes and thus is still a violation of informed-consent wiretapping laws.
"realize that narco terrorism is ruining Mexico"

"And it is much worse under the (D) party because the complicity of the media's failure to report anything negative about them."
You seem to forget that the (R)s hold more of the media than any (D) ever could thanks to Rupert Murdoch.
Lay off the drugs, you don't need them and I actually have my medical script. Save some for me you wastrel.
