Nerd arrogance stems from a totally unjustified, overinflated self-esteem that has not been punctured with extreme prejudice. I'm surprised it hasn't been beaten out of them earlier, nerds usually do not survive high school. However, if some of these wretched non-persons have managed to float up to University, remember that the remedy is the usual one: BEAT THEM UP. Do not argue with them, it's useless. They don't reason, they only use semantic stopsigns to punctuate inane sentences and then they run away proclaiming "victory". Hammer them into being scared of you. Make sudden moves, underlining your physical strength: nerds are deeply afraid of anything physical. At the slightest sign of arrogance, confront them with a step forward and a stern gaze, this will have them cowed into submission and usually trembling in a corner with their arms raised to fend off the anticipated onslaught. Remember one thing: nerds are not persons, do not make the mistake of thinking of them that way.
No, you will not, because once the component makers see there is no more profit to make PC parts since there's so few people interested, they won't make them anymore. Do you believe your PC is going to last forever? Sooner or later one or more parts will be gone and unless you broke your bank to buy spare parts, you will have to join the very flock you despise.
and a hundred other hacked and frankenstein'd gadgets
If you will retain the ability to hack and frankenstein them, which is doubtful to say the least. Do you have a laboratory? Top of the line equipment? Even then, a couple of generations or less from now the tech will be so integrated and locked up that you'll need the resources of an industrialized country to break them open. So no, you won't have those gadgets. And even if you manage to hack some thing, you will be hunted down as a "terr-ow-reest" or some.
Those of us who care enough to invent, create, and make the world a better place, will not.
A recipe for slavery if I ever seen one. You can care as much as you want, if the majority wants Il Duce, Il Duce is what you get. And Il Duce rules over you whether you like it or not. Don't want it? Kill Il Duce.
Fourth protocol. The universally accepted methods of delivery for weapons are: bombs, missiles, torpedoes and artillery rounds. Carrying the stuff around in vans isn't for civilized people.
Make a bridge out of it. More productive. If it doesn't work, throw it down the bridge it's made of, and burn it while it floats. If it doesn't, it's a submersible duck.
This is actually a good option. Look how the Western governments are crapping their pants and curtailing free speech rights because a bunch of moo-slimes are angry. Violence IS an answer, anyone who says otherwise is a dumb fool who hasn't learned history. Sending anonymized e-mails to ISP employees and their lawyers with attached surveillance imagery of their family and kids also works. It sends the right message: we know who you are, where you live, and everything about your loved ones. Capish?
Bordel de merde! Ze 'ricains dare threaten ze great Republique!

No, you don't have the power to make the change. Not as sysadmins or whatever. Because if you don't comply willingly, you will be forced to at gunpoint. Those bozos have the law on their side because, surprise surprise, they MAKE the laws. And you must obey, or else. You want change? You need to destroy stuff. You need to cause damage. Learn about sabotage, learn about disruption, learn how to chip away at the infrastructure on which the Ruling Elite depends. All else is bullshit.
every government since the Nazis has made it clear that the Nazis where inhuman monsters
One wishes. Unfortunately, nazis were humans like everyone else. They did their siegheiling and untermensch exterminierung then they came home, kissed their wives and kids, had dinner and whatever, mostly. Not everyone was an Amon Goetz. That's the scary part. It can happen again, it will be under a different banner and ideology, but underneath it's the same old story: monsters 'r us.
WW1 saw commando tactics refined and used effectively on the front line in a modern war. And as for the rest, my statement stand. Most of the Western world's war strategies are German in origin. Vietnam? You can turn it any way you like, including stating (correctly) that Lyndon Johnson did his utmost best to hamstring the military, but still the US lost. Panama? Oh, nice. Are you going to invade Liechtenstein yet to prove how macho you are? Iraq? I remember seeing the US forces getting a lot of grief from the insurgents as well. Nice "mission accomplished", guys. Face it, you can't defeat anyone anymore. You can just bust the place up and that's it. Until someone carries the fight back to your homeland.
Yeah, the US has weapons that could completely annihilate the population - because the Ruling Elite will love having their land nuked until it glows, right. Face it, the "US military might" myth has been debunked in Vietnam, Somalia and Afghanistan. Even in WW2 the US only had logistics and large-scale production on its side, after it everybody ended up adopting German military thought. Auftragstaktik? German. War of movement? German. Commando tactics? German (dating back to WW1). How exactly this all-powerful military giant got humbled on a September day of 11 years ago? When exactly were the Taliban destroyed? Heck, it couldn't even find all the Serbian armour in Kosovo. The US military is an excuse to buy expensive weaponry, and that's all. Sorry for the good guys and girls in uniform who truly believe and end up on the bad side of the stick, but that's the truth. All the US military might is worth for is to terrorize other industrialized nation into compliance, but it's not going to last long. Maybe they can still scare the EU, but that's about it.
During WW2 many US citizens had close relatives in Europe, since there were a great lot of first-generation immigrants. The Italian-American community was, and still is, huge. Didn't stop the US from bombing Italy to smithereens. The German-American community was, still is, huge and politically important. Didn't stop the US from bombing Germany to smithereens. Want to talk about the Japanese? Full of Nisei, a good lot of them fought - and valiantly I'd like to add - on the European front while their families were kept in concentration camps. Japan got nuked. In recent times, how many Serbs do you think live in America? Lots of them. Didn't stop the US trundling like a drunken beast over the Balkans and messing up the place. Take into account that today's bombing strategies center around precision strikes instead of city-busting raids so collateral damage is massively limited. What happens is, Europeans lose their electricity and industrial infrastructure and they either give up or learn to relive the good ol' agricultural times and forget being a "power", forever. Also, during WW2 the flag-waving, jingoistic "USA USA USA!" uberpatriotic feeling was way less extremistic than it is now. Not sorry for blasting your puppy with a shotgun.
Fights that happen in economy can rapidly turn into something less palatable, especially when one of the sides has all the big sticks and no qualms at all to use them. The EU is in the middle of a darn big crisis and its "economic" power is greatly diminished. It couldn't even police its borders (the Balkans) without NATO - and with a heavy US contribution. If push comes to shove, the EU will cave in, unless they're prepared to use the French nuclear submarine "Force de Frappe" against US mainland.
No, it's just that deep down many people who blather about "revolution" couldn't bring themselves to shove a screwdriver into somebody's eye because he's an "enemy". Contrary to religiously held slashlosers' beliefs, you cannot fight a revolution safe behind your computer: you need to get your hands dirty, stab and shoot people (who mostly have never directly harmed you) and run the risk of being hurt and killed. The thought of physical confrontation horribly scares loserboy nerds, who have spent their lives - and rightly so - at the bad end of other people's - fully justified - violence. The moment they meet the stern gaze of an overweight mall cop they pap their pants and go crying to mommy.
Wrong, loserboy nerd: going to Valinor doesn't grant immortality to a mortal - Death being Ilùvatar's Gift it cannot be removed by the Ainur. A mortal granted passage into the West will die anyway but be spared the illness of old age. It's kind of a retirement home where the personnel doesn't manacle you to the bed, beat you up and piss all over your sore-ridden body while stealing your belongings.
Because a hard drive can last millennia, right. The point is to have something that can outlast the human race, and no machine can do that. Any mechanism will break down, eventually. Engravings do not require maintenance or energy. Of course, you're probably the typical loserboy who can only understands timespans measured in minutes, what with ADHD and assburgers and whatever mental illness you made up and self-diagnosed to justify your mental retardation.
"Crinch" as much as you want. You made the nazikraut shit, you live with it. Your fathers and grandfathers didn't "crinch" that much when they were merrily goose-stepping and siegheiling all over the place.
Why do some people always have to go for the most complicated solution? Drones must be piloted, target the operators. Screwdriver through eyesocket, problem solved. Takes time and money to train them. Target their families as well. Can't do your job well when you don't know how your little daughter is doing, or where she is. Intimidation works both ways, they can't protect them all, it's antieconomical.

Italian authorities do not care about the "world opinion". They believe the rest of the world is still a province of Rome.

Who are they sending to investigate? Phoenix Wright? Miles Edgeworth? Or Professor Layton?

I wish I lived in a world where there were no need to encrypt anything.
This is easy: kill yourself.
most women don't think it's cool to destroy, be violent, maim and kill. or to start a war to plunder or expand power. .
You don't get out much, don't you.

They wouldn't know how to operate it. Remember, knowledge that can't be garnered from their holy pamphlet is unclean. Just like all other fundies.
Are you so naive as to think the law applies in equal measure to the proles and to the lords of the ruling elite? Grow up.
But you didn't like them, either, so now all you're left with is a bunch of drunken hooligans.
