Please no, not the transparency! The way I can't move windows around in the taskbar to keep things grouped, the way things want to pin themselves there so I can't run two instances of them... The first thing people on Windows 7 do it go for the old Windows 2000 desktop look and feel.
I'm guessing you're one of these people that still hasn't filled out the actual census and realised that all along there was a checkbox at the end ASKING FOR YOUR CONSENT to store your name. JUST LIKE IT HAS ALWAYS DONE.
But sure, keep claiming that the thing you've made up in your head somehow has something to do with the site falling over.
There's no excuse for you all to wave machine guns around and think it's normal. Being that that is reality right now, we don't really need any excuses to push back in every way possible.
It might change the idea that it's OK for a little girl to blow away a dude with an Uzi though. Every little tiny thing that will get that through your thick heads is a win as far as I'm concerned.
Hence they are aware that except in one small corner of the supposedly civilised world, it actually isn't considered OK to run around shooting at each other and trying to kill each other for fun.
Machine Gun: Noun: an automatic gun that fires bullets in rapid succession for as long as the trigger is pressed.
But hey, if calling that an assault rifle and trying to draw attention to slight differences in whether or not it has a fucking sniper scope or laser sights or tracer rounds or whatever helps you sleep at night, then good for you.
(Where I presume you have one under your pillow although you most likely pull it out to look at while you masturbate.)
Please, die in a shootout soon so the rest of your country can move forward.
You still allow someone to own a machine gun for "personal protection". There's a problem there I think.
You have that pesky 2nd "alteration" to your constitution. That you could just alter. Hmm yes I see that's quite an intractable problem.
You don't do background checks at gunshows. FFS how is that even a thing that you do? But yeah maybe close that loophole?
There's 300,000,000 guns in your country. If there were 299,999,999 then 50 healthy happy people would still be alive, and you could still stop King George from taking your farms. In fact there would still be 50 people who could help you turn back the redcoats.
Oh of course, how silly of me. What you needed in that situation was one more gone, not one LESS. Guns don't kill people, people kill people. And if the people DO kill people then add more guns until it stops happening. Got it.
They did do something - they put him on the no-fly list. If they had tried to take his guns away though you'd all have a fit of apoplexy and claim that King George was going to reclaim your territories.
Fuck me you're dumb about this stuff. The idea that someone who's suspected of being a terrorist shouldn't be able to buy an AR-15 is not "taking your guns" nor is it "totalitarianism". The whole world sighs and shakes its head once again while you cling to your centuries old amendment and just keep fucking shooting each other. When will you wake up?
Great, so now I'll need to make sure I have less tabs open than CPU cores or my browser can lock up my entire machine running 18 layers of scripts to fetch me a personalised ad. When will browser developers realise that the internet is just the internet, not the sole purpose of computing?
"online platforms should accept credentials issued or recognized by national public authorities, such as electronic or mobile IDs, national identity cards, or bank cards"
Read the actual summary before you fly into a fit of capitalistic free market omgmyprivates fury. This would simply mean that people would be _able_ to put their real name to a review, thus increasing the likelihood (in other's eyes) that the review is real itself.
It would also mean we could ignore the type of yanks that go off their nut about how the gubbermint wants to take away their anti-tank guns and mutated anthrax "for duck huntin'", precisely the type of nutter who would go into a meltdown about getting the wrong flavoured frappucino and lie about being subject to racism or whatever at their local starbucks.
Nice, I see what you did there. Something I've only just realised recently is that Americans are so crazy they actually accuse their media of being biased for telling it how it is. You really believe, while you all run through the streets shooting at each other, that the media has some secret agenda behind reporting on how fucking bad that is for you all.
How safe were the people at this latest shooting? Are you actually so incredibly deluded that you think more guns would have made the situation better? Just take a look at your last sentence: "Citizens using guns... saves lives". People shooting each other dead, saves people from dying. Mind blown. Oh yeah, the craziness is definitely in that liberal media you're always bitching about, nowhere else.
If guns make people safer, why are you all not mandated to take one with you every time you go on a plane? That way the plane would be totally safe. Right?
Why do even accepted answers live below the comments of people who have misread the question and are claiming it's a duplicate, or worse just making fun of the question?
How do you feel about the fact that while important questions go unanswered people are harvesting points simply by taking the word "thanks" off the end of posts? Does it worry you at all that the kind of people most attracted to your site are not interested in actually answering questions?
How is it that you've managed to make Stack Overflow the top 10 search results for common programming questions despite your own supposed efforts at deduping and the fact that Google usually groups similar pages from the same site itself?
"you do not adequately understand the effects of relativity"
No it is entirely untrue that the writers of star trek ignore the effects of relativity - they even play on it in oh I don't know EVERY THIRD OR FOURTH EPISODE EVER. That is why long range communications or interstellar travel involve subspace, a space where presumably some form of instantaneous of much-faster-than-light travel or communication are possible.
Now don't get me started on the whole Star Trek IV warp 10 thing, but if you can believe that a spaceship can be made to go faster than light is it not even possible to imagine that they have sorted out some of the other problems inherent to that?

Oh well, makes sense to completely stop doing that particular thing.

It's so cute that you think that would actually make the world less safe than it is right now.
Hilariously tired argument. How is that stand against tyranny going?

Someone should sue over the Alexa software that was bundled in every MS operating system from (IIRC) Windows 95 thru 2003.

Need I go on?
"So, let's be honest, you need to disarm the bad guys, not the good guys."
But you don't. You don't disarm the bad guys. You continue to make it trivially easy for them to get weapons that go way beyond personal protection.
"Suggest laws that do that for a change and I'll bet you find there is a lot of support for your suggestions."
Like the one where you prevent someone who's a certified nut-job buying a military grade weapon and walking down the street with it unhindered?
Oh of course, how silly of me. What you needed in that situation was one more gone, not one LESS. Guns don't kill people, people kill people. And if the people DO kill people then add more guns until it stops happening. Got it.

Sound like a win-win to me.
"Because America is not a totalitarian society, unlike yours."
Ahhh of course. That's why we "totally" don't shoot each other all the time.
"Police using guns to shoot bullets into them."
Seems you were too busy sitting in front of a computer growing a neck beard to go save everyone with your gun. Next time for sure. ;-)

"Do we need actually infinite resources or would we just need enough resources to cover everyone's needs?"
Spot on. Although you mentioned socialism so be ready for the flood of accusations of being a communist dictator.
It's only our primitive 21st century economics that tells us we need infinite exponential growth in order to continue.
Let's just see how sustainable we think that is 300 years from now.
