Can you even read? If so, go back and read my entire post. I believe your question is answered. My guns are not a deterrent to anyone but cardboard targets. I did not buy my guns for defense, or for offense to or against any living person or creatures. I bought them to shoot at targets, which is what I do with them. It is a hobby, or even a sport to me. So take your self-righteous attitude that anyone who buys a gun wants to kill someone, and stick it where the sun doesn't shine. You are not going to convince me. I know exactly why i bought my guns and what I use them for. For you to tell me otherwise is arrogant, self-serving, and ridiculous on your part.
To pretend that one OS is inherently superior in security over another also borders on incredulous. Anytime a specific OS is mentioned in a security discussion, that person has lost the discussion, and does not understand the entire concept of security. Security isn't software. Security isn't an operating system. Security is a set of practices and policies that apply to all software and operating systems regardless of what specific type they are.
Really? because I have been a gun owner for about 15+ years and my guns have never maimed or killed anyone. Maybe I should return them for a refund??
I enjoy target shooting. I don't even hunt, and have never shot at a live animal or human being before. I bought MY guns for the sole purpose of shooting at cardboard targets. So to be honest, it is YOUR opinion that is twisted - if you think the only purpose for guns is killing or harming other human beings, that says a lot more about your psychological profile than anything. And if you can point to any case where a gun killed somebody by itself, with no additional human interaction, I will eat all of my guns. You see, people kill people. There was murder and violence (and a lot more of it) before there were guns. Given the choice, would you rather be run through by a sword and die slowly, or be shot by a gun and die quickly??
No, it would only insure they are stuck in a k-hole. Ketamine is not the actual substance released in your brain, it is an animal anesthesia that also causes hallucinations. It is just been proven to cause a similar experience in your brain as a NDE. So the actual drug ketmaine has nothing to do with our brains, NDEs, or the existence of heaven.
I would hate to think that only the stupid raver kids could get into heaven - if it really does exist.
Communism would also kill organized religion. Sometimes you have to take the bad with the good.
But yeah sadly the execution of Communism in the real world is simply substituting "THE STATE" (or more accurately "PARTY MEMBERS") for "CORPORATIONS" in a capitalistic existence.
Surgery on yourself is entirely possible, even to the untrained amateur. There is nothing stopping me (well, maybe common sense) from grabbing a knife and cutting into my body. Now successful surgery on yourself on the other hand...
No, I don't. And the cop shows I do (have the misfortune of having to) watch, they can get any information, no matter how obscure, in a matter of seconds. Only older shows do the whole "keep them on the line" thing. With most people having caller ID on their phones, I think that whole setup is not being believed even by the non-technical common folks anymore.
Well, think of it this way - if each company makes $1 million dollars, splitting it 26 ways is much better than splitting it 7000 ways. So for each dollar Runic makes, EA would have to make approximately $270 to keep up.
Only on shows made before the late 80s (or shortly thereafter). Between 1985-1988 (at least in the US) almost all of the phone company switches were upgraded from analog mechanical type relays and switches over to ESS (Electronic Switching System) - a computerized system. Prior to that they would actually have to keep you on the line long enough to physically trace it back to you. Of course if you knew anything about phones you would have bounced it through a dozen other locations first making the trace useless anyways...
One of the reasons I decided long ago to never have kids. I like my thinking to remain logical and be unclouded by hysterical knee-jerk reactions concerning children. (Well, that and the fact I can do whatever I want whenever I want and I usually have the funds to do so.)
It is like the Seinfeld episode where Jerry gets robbed. After he gives his info to the cops, they say "We'll let you know if we get your stuff back." to which Jerry asks "Do you ever get the stuff back?". The cop without missing a beat answers "No".
Yes becasue everybody knows the time to develop the security patch is AFTER there are exploits in the wild and great numbers of systems have already been compromised.
No, but claiming righteous indignation against a company, and then using their products does send a mixed message. It is what corporations count on. If they knew that everyone that disagreed with them would stop using all of their products entirely, it would probably make them consider their decisions a little more. If they know there will be a small uproar, but their numbers won't suffer, then oh well. Business as usual.
Does it not strike you as ironic that if you tried to make the same statement in Chnina, but about the Chinese government, you would not have been allowed to? So which is really worse?

He won't answer. I asked the exact same question earlier. He will only repeat his talking points, and not address any actual logic. Forget it.

It is a well know fact that Communism ONLY works in countries that begin with "C".
I predict it will be as big as the Newton.
Sweet, bringing back the "retro" BBS feel to the internet! Can it serve stuff up faster than 300 baud though?

Gaming is not becoming more expensive If anything, it's cheaper.
They make the games affordable, but then where they get you is the furniture. Sneaky bastards.
When possible, do it yourself...this applies to just about anything.
Except surgery.
Gopher is really where it is at. Lynx is too "bloated" with features.
Well, if you have ever handled change before, they already have your DNA.
Never. That was just an example to show the scale of income differences.

Don't waste your money. The game is Duke Nukem Forever. If you want to know when it will be released, that will cost you $64,000.

Well considering the context of the conversation, and considering the article is about Google and it ties to the US, it is a nice strawman then.
