Guns are inanimate objects. They have not, can not and never will do anything on their own. More Guns = Less Crime.
By your logic, since guns on their own don't do anything, shouldn't that be something like
"more people using guns = less crime"?
Of course if you actually did phrase it that way it would conjure up images of people running around shooting, which would work against your argument.
Yes, Bruce, it is. Anybody who bothered to read to the end of the article would observe the comment at the foot that it is satire intended to brighten your day. But it's well observed and astute.
Don't you think it's just possible that the "this is satire" comment was added later? It's not like just one or two people didn't notice.
So you were an did take part in a crime. Why would you need to make a backup of mp3s that are backups for his cd? Serves you both right.
Stop being such an asshole. Are you saying that as long as a person isn't a saint that they deserve whatever happens to them? MP3s had nothing to do with why the FBI siezed the computers.
Fine. Then *DON'T USE* our libraries,compliers,ect,ect that's been placed under the GPL and similar licences to *CREATE* your software. Got a *PROBLEM* with that?
Don't want to pay? Then DON"T USE Microsoft Whatever. Got a problem with that?
We try to superimpose them over our little corner of the cosmos and act baffled when the universe doesn't play ball and makes things like train wrecks, famines and Barry Manilow.
Train wrecks and famines I can understand, though I'm stumped about the Barry Manilow.
The net changes that anyone who spent the time "mapping" it mapped it while it was changing, and after compiling the map, has realized that much of it is already outdated.
It's like the crew that paints the Golden Gate Bridge. They start at one end, and when they finally reach the other end it's time to start over.
From what I understand you could get kicked out of MGM, and by the time you walked across the street to the New York, your image is in their system as well. By the time you actually reached the first gaming table security would be on it's way.
You're saying that from the angle and distance of the "eye in the sky" this software can recognize people? I'm takin' the don'ts.
It also might be able to do the cha-cha-cha, but it's not very likely.
This bacteria evolved separately from animals. The chances of it being able to be destructive are on a par with you being able to reproduce with an alien.
Why do we always consider ourselves being so importantant that we can meddle in mother earths affairs?
Que? What's feeling important (or "importantant" for that matter) got to do with it? Something was discovered. Somebody wanted to figure out more about it. That's what humans do. We've been doing it as long as we've been around. And what is this "mother Earth's affairs" crap? Do you believe the Earth is sentient? That it has a plan for this bacteria, and we're screwing up this plan?
It's human arrogance that makes us think, we are important in nature...
So then you would have us just sit around on rocks all day, avoiding meddling in "mother Earth's affairs?"
And learn how to use commas. Yours makes your sentence contradict itself.
Oh yeah, nothing to it. The rest is all just typing.
Except of course for the teensy little problem of figuring out where the other cars are and what they're doing.
But they weren't making a game that performed the same as the others. What they did is akin to figuring out how to use a hammer by watching someone else pound nails.

No, but I'll take a couple of $5,000 screws, assuming of course that Natalie Portman is somehow involved.
