Since you seem to wholeheartedly believe this, I suppose I should expect a check from you based on the time you spent in public school? I mean, I paid for you to go to school, and that means you got something for nothing. Pay up.
You should also send a check to me for any time you spent in my state, and thus fell under the protection of police, fire, and ambulance protection. I paid for it, and the various services were on call for you if you needed them.
My area has a higher gasoline tax than many other areas, which helps pay for better roads. If you have driven through my area without stopping for gas, you are getting something for nothing.
Before you send the money, I must tell you that I do not take personal checks.
You are a moron. The fact that you are now resorting to conspiracy theories leads me to believe that you are much further deranged than what I would have originally thought.
It appears that one of the rules of the crazed zealot is to accuse those people who disagree with them of being a paid infiltrator on a message board.
Are you seriously equating drunk driving with using Windows? You aren't helping your case at all.
You wouldn't be a crazed zealot if you were telling people to get taxis. However, in this case, telling people to get a taxi would be telling someone to install an anti-virus, security updates, and use safe usage techniques.
What you are actually doing is more like hoping that people who were safe and did take a taxi, are hit and killed by a drunk driver who didn't take a taxi. Disagreeing with drinking is one thing. Wishing disaster/death on people is quite another. One means you are not a fan of an activity. The other makes you a crazed zealot.
In my eyes, those who bought that thing, deserve what they got.
Those who brought windows deserve what they got.
Wow, way to wish doom on 90% of the computer using populace. That doesn't make you sound like a crazed zealot at all. That kind of talk is sure to gain support to your ideology.
Like I always say, Windows is cheap if your time is worth nothing.
That, to me, is more of a Linux quote than a Windows quote. I used to only use Linux. However, when I needed to install something, it wasn't just a pop in a CD, push Next a couple of times, and forget it. No, I had to search online for packages and files and go through message boards and discussion groups trying to find a hint as to why such and such a program is not working. So, a 10 minute install in Windows would equal out to about a 5 hour install in Linux. Linux is cheap if your time is worth nothing. That's why I pay for Windows. (It is also why I no longer use Linux. Everything I was using in Linux has a Windows alternative. Many times, that Windows alternative either came with Windows, or could be found for free/cheap online.)
And 5 years after the first reports of similar programs. Heck, there was even a similar program mentioned on an episode of That's Impossible, on the History Channel. It was on the Eternal Life episode. This is old news.
If those in power wish to [continue] to do so, they will suffer the same fate as their predecessors have; they will eventually be replaced.
I keep hearing around here about this whole revolution thing that's supposed to change everything...and yet it never happens. If this keeps up, I'm going to start just dismissing these threats of revolution as just idle talk, meant to make the speaker feel better about himself, and nothing more.
The acetaminophen + opiate is basically just Tylenol with codeine, which is generally available with a prescription. Terrible stuff. Oh, wait, being sick with diarrhea is worse.
I know several Libertarians. I don't think they are nutty. No, I think they are bat-shit crazy. I have thought about it for well over half a minute, and I just can't wrap my head around the selfishness involved in a Libertarian position.
I hope that he has to serve the full sentence, and doesn't get out on parole. Credit card fraud is not fun. I can only hope that more people convicted of credit card fraud receive sentences like this.
I don't think that either party is trying to do so by force or violence or other unlawful means. That is the clarifying bit that makes someone have to register.
Deficit spending has been shown to help keep an economy above water long enough for it to come out on its own. It is only when deficit spending continues after the economic crisis, without any hint of paying it back, that it becomes a problem.
The reason lenders are so uncertain about the future is because of the predatory lending practices that helped get us into this mess. The kinds of predatory lending practices that came about because of deregulation. The lenders were bitten because they played with a cobra, and now they are afraid to even handle a worm. This hasn't stopped their executives from giving themselves huge bonuses, of course. Gotta keep the economy moving, you know, and what better way than to buy a new yacht or three.
I agree that pork is bad(unless it actually came from a pig, and then it is delicious), but you are connecting some things with it that are separate issues.
All I am saying, is that if you truly believe that intellectual property should be completely free, for people to do with how they please, you will be all for taking the first step, and anything you create will instantly be free for everyone, with no strings attached. Enjoy making a living off of that.
Believe it or not, but intellectual property rights are needed. If there were none, and people were free to take what they wanted from day one, nobody would ever be able to turn a profit. Businesses would collapse. Technology would be set back generations. Or do you have some kind of fund that will provide you billions every year for R&D, production, and distribution of products?
And then when they can never play their games again, or use their favorite software, they will never go to you again, and they will tell all their friends and family never to use you, because you broke their computer. You lose a ton of business. Then they go to someone else, who simply does what they ask, instead of assuming that the customer wants a different operating system, and they immediately gain a customer. That's what happens when ideology directly influences customer interactions.

It needs more lights, too. Lights make the fan go faster, cooling better.
Watch out, the real fraudster might try to sue you for patent infringement...

Also, God should be capitalized since it is a proper noun.
How can it be a proper noun when it's nothing more than a label for a mythical creation? god. god god. god god god god. god.
Looks like somebody didn't do so well in elementary school English.
For those that don't make the connection:
Acetaminophen = Tylenol

I don't think passengers of any size are generally allowed through cockpit doors. Something about airline security.

I'm not going to be so pessimistic. I say that it will coincide with the Year of the Linux Desktop.

Harder solution: Install an operating system that they will actually have applications for.
Windows wins again.
Yes.
Did you get it without paying for it?
Yes.
Did you receive it as a gift?
No.
Has the creator been denied payment for the work that you now use freely?
Yes.
Then it is stealing.

- why exactly do we need massive percentages (10-50%) of our resources funneled to maintain the state and state-run defense and services?
Because, believe it or not, there is life outside of the Internet.
So you will start working to destroy the GPL, then, right? Because the GPL still protects intellectual property.
