Fuck the future generations. What have they ever done for us? I for one am glad we're leaving them a big mess. That'll toughen them up. Make men out of them jelly-boned subhumans.
Cry me a fucking river of shit. You don't know something? Look it up. Since teh interwebs came about, there isn't any excuse anymore. All it took was searching for "early Soviet ICBM" and you would have found the Semyorka. Search for "R-7 warhead yield", you come out with the warhead specs and yield. Now "calculate nuclear weapon effects" and you would have found the Nuclear Weapons Effect Calculator (no Detroit on the maps list, sorry, since you live there it must not be an interesting place) which would have given you the information you lacked. Now, get the heaviest nuclear physics book you can lay your hands on and beat yourself on the head until cranial structural failure.
You obviously lack the ability to do some research. The R-7 Semyorka - which is the very same rocket design used for Sputnik and Vostok launches, and survives today in the Soyuz rocket - carried a single device rated at 3 Mt yield. Not as small as you thought. Its CEP made it unsuitable for precision strikes so countervalue and soft military targets were what it was aimed for. A 3 megaton airburst over Detroit will surely cause massive property damage, one hell of a carnage and disrupt any production or communication activity there. Say goodbye to your factories. Say goodbye to a large chunk of your population. Your knowledge of nuclear weaponry is laughable and your opinions are based on incorrect information and hence irrelevant. In fact, given that you were unable to research this for yourself makes your whole existence irrelevant. Throw yourself from a window and remove your defective genes from the pool.
Soviets were always inferior to the West in military might
You have obviously never heard of the Tank Gap. Back in the '80s, NATO expected defences in West Germany to be overrun by Soviet mechanized forces in very short time, and that is the reason Western doctrine puts so much emphasis on air superiority and less to ground warfare, much to our loss as the debacles in Somalia and the current situation in Afghanistan can tell us. Moreover, NATO plans expected release of tactical nukes (especially radiation-enhanced devices or "neutron bombs") fairly early in order to counter the overwhelming Warsaw Pact superiority in sheer numbers.
That would be a smarter way to do it. Another would be to put anti-theft powder on DVD covers. People don't like it when their hands turn purple and they can't wash it off. Or set off an OC canister. Takes two person, one lookout and one to do it, but you can do it with one. What about targeting their security cams with blue lasers from outside? Funny thing too. Set off the fire alarm? Other interesting little prank. May cause some panic. Remember, the goal is disruption. Make it so that people won't like to come back.
That's why you must plan it differently: when the local rent-a-cop thugs show up all ready to show their authority, pull out the guns (you're not telling me you're not bringing any, do you?) and shoot them dead on the spot. Two shots to the chest. Execute any survivor with a head shot. Take the store manager and cut his throat before the assembled employees, then get their IDs. Explain to them that you have nothing against them but if they talk to the cops you will assassinate one of their families' member. Torch the place, leave. What's so difficult about that?
If you're so scared of the big bad boys coming after you, suck it up and learn to obey your masters. Disobedience is exactly that: NOT OBEYING. You will obtain exactly nothing playing by the rules because those with the most money make them. Violence, instead, is egalitarian: a bullet to the head kills the rich and the poor.
Only 1000 answered? In ALL the world? Wow, what an interesting non-event this is going to be. If all of those 1000 showed up with a bomb or serious firepower, that would be different. 1000 bombs going off in one day, or 1000 shootouts, that would send a message. Those clowns know nothing. If you want to cause disruption, choose a date near major holidays when sells are traditionally higher, and hit those. Set off firecrackers or smoke bombs. Maybe cause a fire, the stampede would be a sight. Know any simple chemistry? Chlorine has never been an effective chemical weapon in open spaces, but in enclosed areas it's a killer, plays rough on the airways. Do that on the crowd standing on the DVD or games area and you're guaranteed some lost sales. But to hurt a giant corporation like Sony, you've got to hit the offices, you've got to hit the corporate officials, you've got to hit the developers. Do you know how much an ace game developer team is worth to Sony? If they were to be killed off before project completion and after it has been announced with big ad expense, that would be serious damage. Pick your targets, folks.
There used to be a weapon designed just for that. Looked like a small lipstick tube, it concealed a one-shot zipgun firing a.22 magnum round. Useful only at point-blank range to take out an enemy and appropriate his weapon. Issued in 'Nam. Don't know if it were even used. Anyway, shitty way to die.
"Surprisingly, it was enough to run databases, word processors and complex, professional software."
Surprising to ignorant trekkie pedophile geeks, maybe. Real jocks know how to make more with less. Faced with difficulties and low on resources, we push through an win. Nerds whine, complain they don't have the "right equipment" and sulk in a corner. Until we beat them up and shit on their faces.
Wrath? What is this "wrath" you're talking about? Pirates don't scare anyone. Until someone gets killed, or an office gets firebombed, this "wrath" you're talking about will only elicit an amused chuckle.
That won't happen. Slashdotters do not have the skills to write good code. They're overweight, smelly, basement-dwelling neckbeards with no intelligence and creativity to speak of. To them, "using a computer" means "fapping away while watching kiddie scat porn".
Because people do *not* think as Spock did: "The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few."
Luckily they don't. Spock was a lame, laughable character in a mediocre and unimaginative TV show which should have been forgotten by now if not for the shrill voices of a few very vocal losers and a couple of hack producers who saw the quick bucks. The whole thing was the harebrained vision of an untalented screenwriter who, had he not been able to gain his bread through his subpar vision, would have probably gone the way of Rob Hubbard and his ilk.
"The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few" is the reasoning of tyrants and petty dictators all over history. No wonder it's repeated by a host of trekkie pedophile geeks who should be locked away.
... All those emo pieces of shit have finally gone and committed suicide for real? That would be too good to be true. 10 million loserboys dead, rotting before their webcams, maggots eating out their tear-filled eyes, pus and eyeliner leaking to the floor, all to an endlessly repeating playlist made up entirely of My Chemical Romance and Paramore. Aaah, the sweet stench of loser death.

"I'm going to have to ask you to leave" "Okay" ...
(whips out pistol and shoots security guard/manager in the face). "Anyone else?"

Always look at the bright side of life.

Blowing up a space station is just a waste. Crashing it into Australia is another matter, however. But a space colony would make a nicer crater.

The problem is already solved. Tom Selleck will save us (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0088024/).

people need to stand up and SHOOT these jerks in the face.
FTFY.

And if the revolution comes, bankers will be the first against the wall
But the revolution will never come, because nobody wants to do the shooting. So, be prepared to be in thrall of the bankstas FOREVER.
Try to talk aloud against the king in Thailand. It works. It can be done. It has been done and will be done again. Thoughtcrime does exist.
it's a knife fight about the school system
Yes. It's a real knife fight, so check your six. We'll use chalk, a blackboard, and maybe a textbook or two. One more thing: it's OK to be scared.
