"An electronic device."
Taser. Geiger counter (old school ones), quantum meter, incident light meter. Want more? I'm quite sure my hobbies and equipment could cover most counters you bring out. XLR microphones on extensions is another that just came to mind.
Due to the nature of DU rounds, being much, much harder, they just go through you. But that is still uranium introduced into your system, and in vivo DU is much more dangerous than just the weak radiation it would produce outside the body.
so not only do I get lucky if I survive, but I've likely got in vivo DU dust in my blood, and I'm fucked later, suffering other nasty effects.
"a 30mm HE round and killed instantly is far more humane a kill than a 7.62 ball round that causes me to bleed out."
Tell that to the man wounded and crawling.
Now what? The fact is, excessive force was used on unarmed civilians, and JOURNALISTS which is explicitly in the conventions IIRC. Fuck whatever laws, treaties, and conventions there were, shoot THESE soldiers in the head and let it serve as a lesson to the rest of the military.
That's like a rapid-fire grenade launcher into a crowd. It's excessive and goes against the Fourth Geneva Convention, stated roughly as "where extensive destruction and appropriation of property not justified by military necessity and carried out unlawfully and wantonly."
The hybrid write-once and re-writable discs would seem for more than that - dedicated game image with updatable OS on the disc for performance tweaks/patches?
I mean, given how big some patches have to be just to fix a few things, this sort of thing makes sense.
You do know HP has hands in tons of industries besides home/business computers, yes? Medical imagers, etc, all proprietary. Of course they have the design/fab.
"The usage of 'gunships' on human targets is valid by the laws of war.'
Excuse me, 30mm is NOT allowed for human targets just like WP isn't supposed to be used. Using anti-aircraft/anti-vehicle weaponry against non-armored human targets goes against the Geneva Convention.
"The assist dies after a few actions on the brake - try pumping your brake pedal without the engine on. When it goes solid, that's when the assist has run out."
This is why I love regular brakes. I don't lose power, and properly designed brakes are as easy to operate as power brakes. Hydraulics for applying stopping power, springs to release the brake clamp and return the hydraulics to position.
"But you just go ahead and keep knocking automatic transmissions based on outdated information. I'm sure technology hasn't advanced at all in the past few decades."
Auto Transmissions don't do a thing when you're tossing it on top of an under-powered engine in a slightly heavier than usual vehicle with heavier than normal people, like I see quite often. Honda + four people weighing 350 each? That sucker's not going uphill in an AT unless it's got at least 6 cylinders AND manual. Don't believe me, feel free to drive my weekly drive. I'm stuck behind these kinds of people in SoCal traffic day in and day out.
College sports players do NOT need to be paid. WTF are yo talking about? They PAY to go to college or some scholarship/grant does - you think the college is going to pay them? Hell no! They're playing football in the hopes of making it pro where they will get paid.
Until then, they're at school to learn, not get paid.
"That being said, while it's an intrusive and assholish DRM, every game that uses it's remain uncracked"
I'm not going to post links to torrents but I know for a fact it has been reliably cracked. I was playing ACII before it ever hit the shelves and beat it before release.

"willful killing, torture or inhuman treatment"
Being nailed by rapid fire explosive 30mm rounds seems pretty damned inhumane to me, especially after I'm on the ground and incapacitated!
30mm HE rounds.
That's like a rapid-fire grenade launcher into a crowd. It's excessive and goes against the Fourth Geneva Convention, stated roughly as "where extensive destruction and appropriation of property not justified by military necessity and carried out unlawfully and wantonly."
Geneva convention specifying the excessive use of force.
30mm HE is EXCESSIVE. Those things EXPLODE. Rapid fire grenade launcher equivalent isn't excessive?
You could do the job just fine with a .177 varminter round and a 30x80 scope.
You wouldn't consider a mis-fired 30mm hitting the ground and blowing off a person's foot, thus causing unnecessary suffering, 'needlessly cruel?'
Sorry, our guys aren't the greatest of shots, judging by that video.

"HP has fabs and/or competent CPU designers?"
You do know HP has hands in tons of industries besides home/business computers, yes? Medical imagers, etc, all proprietary. Of course they have the design/fab.
given you could do most things a typical word processor can do on a 486, why in the world would you need to parallelize it?
"And who the hell uses a device straight out from your body like your "lift your arm and hold it" experiment?"
Handgun users. Weightlifters building up pectoral stamina with a 25-pound freeweight. Olympian athletes.
Want more examples or is that enough?

Oh, yea, we didn't sign that, did we?

Umm, douchebag? Accessory selection on the ignition keeps the steering wheel unlocked and kills the engine. One click back for most cars.

"Remember, there are less people in Canada that in Los Angles, and a lot friendlier."
What the hell are you talking about? Los Angeles is maybe 1/3 to 1/2 the population of Canada.
Try actually living here before you speak about a place you obviously know nothing about.
The torrent is out there - LEARN HOW TO FIND THE CRACKFIX.
That isn't released via torrents. Why must you fools assume EVERYTHING is on torrent?

"Actually, Ubisoft's DRM is still not cracked."
Actually, you're wrong. It was cracked. ACII and Silent Hunter V are both out there and working, and they use the same DRM as Settlers 7.
Man can make it, man can and will break it. It's that simple.
'It's so because there are no working cracks for Settlers 7'
It's the same DRM as ACII and Silent Hunter, both of which were cracked WITH EASE.
I beat ACII before it ever hit store shelves.
"start keeping even more on server-side and it will never be breakable."
One DDoS will take care of that bullshit.
"Assassin's Creed 2 still hasn't been cracked successfully,"
Nonsense. Quit using torrents and worm your way into the real release scene. I beat ACII before it was even released. That DRM has been cracked.
"That being said, while it's an intrusive and assholish DRM, every game that uses it's remain uncracked"
