Contracted X viruses? That's going into the calculation whether your body warded them off easily or not.
AR-15s are discriminate. They only shoot where you point it (it's illegal to set one up to shoot automatically, without your finger on the trigger). They won't blow up the kid next door when he's stealing the pie from your window. You have to do it. Claymores are indiscriminate. You set them, then leave.
Miniguns are too expensive for the typical person to own/shoot and they are poor home defense weapons because when you're slinging 2,000 rounds at a bad guy, you're likely to miss him with 1,900 rounds, which are likely headed through your walls and towards the neighbor's house.

They could, but if you edited your comment, this comment would cease to make sense. Unless I quoted you, but sometimes I'm lazy (I'm still using the older UI without the auto-quote button). I suppose showing all edit history might be a good compromise.
Regarding Windows Firewall:
The feature where you can supposedly define custom network groups for the scope. Can you finally create more than localsubnet? It would be nice to be able to define "My networks" as "x.x.x.0/24, y.y.0.0/16, 10.0.0.0/8" then set scope for multiple rules as "My networks".
so, what if this report is BS and really an attempt to provoke attack by ISIS or other groups, leading to national support for an expanded/resumed military presence in the middle east? nothing stimulates an economy like a good war, right?
You're not thinking tinfoily enough. Why provoke an attack for a war when you can provoke fear of an attack for FREEDOM ( USA FREEDOM Bill )?
Congratulations, you just demonstrated the irrationality he was discussing.
He pointed out that giving the $10 will *SAVE* you $1. That's a net *gain* of $1, not a net loss of *anything*. Something that saves you money costs you *less* than the alternative, not *more*.
He didn't say "net" and "save" is only a useful word when there is a net loss. Words mean things. If you're saying that giving someone $10 means I get $11 in return later, then that's a 10% gain, and worth something. Giving someone $10 so that I can save $1 is ludicrous and an obvious net loss.
The main problem with the basic income is that it pretends that tax payers are completely rational. Even if you lay out the argument in plain terms that explains how giving someone else $10 will in the end save them $1 from what they are spending now, they will balk at the idea.
Sounds rational to me. That's a net loss of $9. Not much, but no one really needs just $10. Assuming ratios scale with absolutes, giving $10,000 would be a net loss of $9,000.
I think I like the jumper on the system board method a lot better than juggling keys. Reasons why left as an exercise.
I like the extra security of forcing someone to open the (physically locked?) machine as much as the next guy, but weigh that against the nuisance of having to do it yourself on all the Macs you own if you need to flash their EFIs for some reason. If they're iMacs, the front glass is taped to the case, and you'll need certified Apple(TM) brand replacement double sided tape to seal it back up again since the tape is one-use. Opening just one iMac is a thirty minute job if you know what you're doing.
Re:The Tron 2.0 game was the real sequel

Tron 3 Is Cancelled

That game got Tron much better than the 2nd movie did.
Having the "grid" be this walled garden didnt explore how the whole world is interconnected now. It was a terribly missed opportunity.
To add insult to injury, the game is a Disney property. Disney owns the plot of Tron 2.0 that they ignored in favor of flavorless eye candy.
*SPOILERS* * * *
The game's plot includes features like the internet, making the Recognizers into network packets (train cars) for some nice nostalgia, bits*, trying to survive in a PDA with limited RAM, email scripts being corrupted into virus spewing zombies, and an evil mega-corp planning to use the digitization tech to digitize their own paramilitary operatives into the grid so that they can literally brute force attack their enemies' computers from the inside.
*to me, the biggest example that the TRON Legacy writers were not TRON fans is that CLU2's yes-man wasn't a bit. A bit that just says yes, reluctantly says no, is destroyed, and another bit takes it place to say "yes" would satisfy nostalgia, show us CLU2's personality, and provide a little color to an otherwise bland movie.
I know the article is a joke, but I've heard of open office designs that have X employees and (X-0.1*X) desks. Desks are not assigned, and early birds get the worms. They are miserable places.

Did the startups fail because they relied on click bait titles but no content? I don't read articles or even summaries with click bait titles.
As higher dimensional beings, it might be like the "floating thumb" or "got your nose" trick for mice.
How about switching to another species after you get the lifetime close to half of normal. These aren't fruit flies.

Hi all.
Just a quick service announcement since Fyodor erred with regard of the role of Michael Schuhmacher.
Michael is *not* the CEO of Sourceforge. He is Office Wrangler for the GIMP project and very much on the other side of the dispute...
Bye,
Simon
Are you sure the Sourceforge CEO didn't co-opt the "abandoned" identity of Michael Schuhmacher?
