A NORMAL user who does some text processing, web browsing, Youtube and stuff can easily live with a 5 year old machine.
Hell, I regularly do music and video editing on my 6-year-old laptop without hiccups. It also ran every single game right up until GTA4, at which point I had consoles to play newer games on anyway. As you said, people just don't need to upgrade their computers as much these days.
To play devil's advocate, the article you linked actually says that if you're on PUBLIC property, you can take pictures of things you can see, including pictures of private property. He was on private property at the time. Also US laws do not apply to Canada.
I didn't comment on the analysis. You probably didn't notice that as you almost broke a leg in your rush to prove me wrong.
If you or the OP want to suck the TSA's collective dick, don't let me stop you. But I will point out when idiots try to elevate their screeners to anything more than security guards.
I immediately copy with Magic DVD Copier - it removes the "Cannot get to the menu until you watch our ads and antipiracy notice" nonsense, and I can choose to copy the movie only.
I skip the middleman and download the movie directly. If they're going to treat me like a fucking criminal, I'm going to act like a fucking criminal.
It's not about winning points for reelection, it's about giving the perfect blowjob to their corporate masters. Teeth-scraping in the form of "forcing" corporations to do anything isn't going to help these politicians.
You don't seem to understand the concept that voting for either of the major two parties would be meaningless for me. More meaningless than throwing it away on a third. More meaningless than simply staying home.
It sounds like you are assuming there is a "lesser of two evils" factor at play in this election, between the Democratic and Republican parties. There is not. The only substantial difference is which billionaires get a larger slice of the pie. I can either waste a vote in the form of staying home or writing in "fuck all of you" on the line, or I can waste it voting for a third party in the hopes that the more this happens, the more our system will gradually change.
It's not about getting a third party into the White House this cycle, or even about getting a third party 10% of the total votes. It's about beginning to shift the power.
However, the contrast between the simpler trivium and more difficult quadrivium gave rise to the word "trivial"
See, this is the kind of thing those poor kids will never learn because--according to their father--they'll be too busy learning something useless like chemistry and won't be able to fit other concepts into their brains.

He should have bounced his connection through InterNIC and then erased the logs.

TFA doesn't say anything at all about Firefox, but I'm going to block Yahoo at the firewall anyway. Just to be sure. Thanks for the heads-up, Yahoo.
"hearing aids go up 8 percent a year annually"
Interesting. How much do they go up a month annually?

TSA screeners aren't law enforcement.
Any other fallacious bullshit you'd like to spout while you're here?

"I might finally someday be able to play my store bought copy of Gran Turismo 5 "
You're going to be disappointed.
Good thing it wasn't in film form, or it wouldn't be freely watchable for about infinity years.

Calvinball is even stranger than I remember.
"Penrith"? I usually tell them to suck my dick. They get cross.
"just putting ONE GUY and his spam operation offline once resulted in a 33% drop of spam worldwide overnight."
I think some other guy replaced him, because it's been hitting pretty fucking hard lately.

"Ever wish you could charge your phone with your iPad?"
No. I can charge my phone with my Android tablet if it weren't the stupidest suggestion I've ever heard. But it is.
They'll PAY YOU to troll? I'm quitting my job and moving to china!

From TFA:
"RELATED: Are you scientifically literate? Take or quiz."
I'll settle for just being literate.
Are you really comparing free speech ("anti muslim propaganda and advertising") with felony actions (what "troll asshole" did was illegal)?
And unless I missed part of the story, this teenager didn't go out and kill people with no connections to her tormentor.
So all I have to do to keep from getting it is to avoid tapping on ads or obviously fake "system update" texts? Wow, that sounds nigh impossible.
