    If you're fighting against actual military equipment, it will be a civil war, and both sides will have actual military equipment

    I'm sure the Syrian rebels with they could agree.

    Things the British of 1776 didn't have that the current government does:

    1. Destroyers
    2. High-Tech Choppers
    3. Fighter Jets
    4. Battle Tanks
    5. Flying Death Robots
    The list goes on and on... Glad you think your little AR-15 is the sound of freedom, but good luck throwing off THAT government.

    Nuh-uh, I don't live in a community you stupid American. Dumb Americans always assuming stuff about other peoples.

  4. Re:Teamwork on Why Working Remotely Needs To Make a Comeback · · Score: 1

    'My way' allows my coworkers to decide when they can be interrupted. 'Your way' allows people to demand focus.

    You both seem to be hell bent on the idea that one of these two are better than the other. News flash, sometimes conversations work better, and other times email chains win. If you're not able to deal with both appropriately, you're going to have a hard time in life.

    Hate to tell you, but comments on slashdot articles do not equate to tax law.

    Stop saying this. The site is not put there by law, it's put there by the administration to try to give you a way to communicate with them. They don't have to do anything as a result of this. They have stated they will, and they probably will, but they don't have to.

    Agreed. There is a difference between password protection and encryption!

    I'm sorry, I was under the impression that the Terminator movies were works of fiction. You'll have to pardon me for not wanting to prepare myself for every such nonsense situation that arises in movies. Now, please excuse me while I pack just in case I need to simply walk into Mordor.

  9. Re:Does not match up well with Gallup on Researchers Analyze Twitter To Find Happiest Parts of the United States · · Score: 1

    That said, you typically vacation to placed that make you happy. Therefore these places were probably "happy places" before the tweeters decided to vacation there. Chicken vs egg.

  10. Re:Red states, Blue states on Researchers Analyze Twitter To Find Happiest Parts of the United States · · Score: 3, Funny

    The republicans enjoy making angry tweets. They are just as happy, but the data analysis does not understand them.

    That's odd, they don't tend to understand data very well, either.

  11. Re:Red states, Blue states on Researchers Analyze Twitter To Find Happiest Parts of the United States · · Score: 1

    Depends if you're talking about the results of the last presidential election, or something else. Michigan, for example, often goes blue in statewide elections but ends up with heavy Republican leanings in their state house & senate.

    The Nazis only targeted a specific subset of the people based on their religious orientation. It was a very different case. If we were saying "We should disarm the african americans" or "we should disarm the hispanics" or even "we should disarm the muslims" then you'd have a point, but that's not the case.

    It's not politics of fear when you have so many nice examples of socialist takeovers in the past that started with gun registration and removal of guns from registered owners.

    You don't get to make a claim like that without citing so many nice examples.

  20. Bring back Myth! on Halo Developer Bungie Reveals Destiny and Its Vision of MMO Gaming · · Score: 2

    They did a great job with the game Myth: The Fallen Lords several years ago. It was a great game with a decent story and very interesting multiplayer. I'd love to see it come back!

  21. Individually Packaged... on Are Plastic Bag Bans Making People Sick? · · Score: 0

    Aren't most products individually packaged, anyway? Even if you're using reusable bags to carry your groceries, even your produce is likely in individual plastic bags found all over the produce aisles. I don't think I've seen any actual food directly touch any grocery bags (plastic or otherwise) in MANY years. What the hell?
