Yeah, I really don't care about the Wikileaks part of this. Bradley Manning can burn in hell for that mess. As for Assange, he needs to face the rape and molestation charges in Sweden. It's easy to forget that he is an accused rapist and needs to stand trial amidst all of the Wikileaks BS. Let Sweden try him. If he's found guilty clamp his balls in Bradley Manning's mouth and string them both up.
You, sir, are the moron if you truly believe that you need any of the following in order to learn "how to think for yourself" while in pursuit of any degree.

Perhaps YOU needed classes such as these to teach YOU to think for yourself. The majority of the rest of us around here are intelligent enough to have gained that basic skill well before college and to have further developed it without the need for art appreciation classes.
That's exactly the response I had planned. I remember the first time I read 1984, pulling for Winston and hoping for a story where the people succeed in overthrowing or subverting the regime. Oh, the let down, followed by the realization that this is a story about our world, our society.
Defense from a forcible felony; A person is justified in using threats or force to the degree they reasonably believe it is necessary to stop another person's imminent use of unlawful force. A person is justified in using deadly force which may harm or kill only if he or she reasonably believes that such force is necessary to prevent death or great bodily injury to himself or herself or a third person or to prevent the commission of a forcible felony (unless it is regarding defense of habitation, which has it's own requirements below). You are not justified if you were the aggressor or you are/were/on-the-way-to committing a felony. (The state has pre-empted local cities and counties from further restricting this defense.)(16-3-21)
Neither. I am tired of the whiny "everyone gets a trophy and criminals need rehab" crowd deciding that it's OK to let someone steal your property since you can call the police later. Also note the "forcible" part of forcible felony. If someone walks up and grabs my phone off of my desk I'll deal with it. If someone threatens and or physically assaults me for my property I will respond with force.
Given that I have no children in my home and that both adults in my home are fully capable of safely handling a loaded weapon with one in the pipe I have no issues with keeping double action handguns in a condition 1 or 2 state in my home.
Because an unloaded personal defense weapon is as useful as a brick. You don't see many people carrying concealed bricks or with bricks next to their bed for a reason. It's worthless.
God forbid the day should ever come when I actually need to shoot someone, but rest assured I will feel no guilt. Any lives ruined in the process will be the offenders fault. I didn't ask/tell them to put their life in jeopardy in order to rob a law-abiding armed citizen.
I'm not advocating it nor would I do it. My point is that under the letter of the law it would be justified due to the fact that the officer was committing a forcible felony and theoretically armed robbery. I realize this was in DC where the value of goods stolen may be higher to constitute a felony, but at a minimum it was a forcible misdemeanor. Since it could be contrued as armed robbery under DC law that is definitely a felony.
DC Robbery law Robbery in D.C. is a felony, with a penalty of 2 to 15 years imprisonment. Using a weapon in the commission of the theft from the person turns the offense into armed robbery. A conviction for srmed robbery could increase the maximum sentence to 30 years.
GEORGIA ROBBERY CRIMES OCGA 16-8-40

Use of force;
Intimidation, threat, or placing the other person in fear of immediate serious bodily injury to himself or another; or
By sudden snatching.
Punishment for Robbery
Punishment for Robbery can be imprisonment for 1-20 years with one exception. If the robbery is committed on someone 65 years old or older, the punishment is 5-20 years.
ARMED ROBBERY OCGA 16-8-41
An Armed Robbery is a robbery committed with an offensive weapon, any replica of an offensive weapon, or a device having the appearance of any such weapon. It is actually possible to be convicted of armed robbery if you did not have a weapon. For example, if you put your hand in your pocket and cause someone to believe you have a gun, you could be convicted of Armed Robbery.
Punishment for Armed Robbery
Depending upon the circumstances, punishment for Armed Robbery can be
Death penalty;
Life in prison;
No less than 10 nor more than 20 years in prison. Keep in mind that the minimum prison time is 10 years with no early release.
Defense of property other than habitation; Lethal force cannot be used to protect real property unless the person using such force reasonably believes that it is necessary to prevent the commission of a forcible felony.(16-3-24)
Forcible Felony - Any felony which involves the use or threat of physical force or violence against any person. (16-1-3 as used anywhere in Chapter 16, except 16-11-131)
In the state of Georgia I have the right to use deadly force to protect my property from being forcibly taken from me. Sure, it would be a stretch, but my point is the officer committed a forcible felony. Charge him.
So, I took a look at Zorin OS and they lost me in line one of the "Tour". Advantage number 1..."No risk of getting viruses". Where have I heard that before? I'm not saying it isn't a great solution. I really know nothing about it at this point. However, starting your sales pitch with a claim like that is laughable.
Probably not. However, after weighing what's "legal" vs. what's "reasonable, fair, and equitable" I personally don't care. I'm not robbing anyone of revenue. In fact, I end up paying $0.10 per HD episode to do this. I realize that this money doesn't find its way to the content producers, but they're still making every penny of their money.

Amen! Until you mentioned the midwest I thought you might be right here in Georgia with me.

Nope. Seconds. It also takes seconds to walk from my front door to my bedroom. I don't want to be busy loading as they enter my room.
Sounds like they had no business owning a weapon if they didn't bother to regularly maintain and test it.
I agree. That's why I rigged mine with an external power supply.
I'll let you know. I own the GV1000S(non-biometric). I'll shake/drop test it tonight.
Because an unloaded personal defense weapon is as useful as a brick. You don't see many people carrying concealed bricks or with bricks next to their bed for a reason. It's worthless.
You should verify that before you kill someone and end up destroying a handful of lives (including your own) over a cell phone.
Verified.
Please allow me to refer you to my post below, or perhaps the source of that info, or perhaps the actual code.
