You wanna try that one more time in English genius?
No worse than your typing, really. -
2015-09-26 at 12:51 AM UTC in Windows 7 and 8 updates spy on you.
Exploits, they don't put out updates for no reason.
No exploit can get around a rule-based firewall in manual configuration mode. As soon as it tries to make an authorized connection and/or tries to open a port, it is immediately detected and can be blocked before it can complete its attack. At that point, I can manually remove the threat from the file system and delete all references to it in the system registry. I don't need any updates, because exploits are completely ineffective on my machine. -
2015-09-25 at 2:16 AM UTC in The apocalypse starts tomorrow september 23rd“But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, but my father only. But as the days of Noah were, so also will the coming of the Son of Man. For as in the days before the flood, they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the ark, and did not know until the flood came and took them all away, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be. Then two men will be in the field: one will be taken and the other left. Two women will be grinding at the mill: one will be taken and the other left. Watch therefore, for you do not know what hour your Lord is coming. But know this, that if the master of the house had known what hour the thief would come, he would have watched and not allowed his house to be broken into. Therefore you also be ready, for the Son of Man is coming at an hour you do not expect."

But you have to demonstrate more than just "neither (presumably you mean the left/right or security/freedom dichotomy) is perfect". You have to show how decentralized security responsibility is better than other imperfect alternatives. In particular decentralization precludes certain people from security and lacks the economy of scale that a professional police force can take advantage of. Also there's no accounting in such a system for justice. Normal libertarians can handwave with some bullshit about "people can take care of eachother" or something but you've already cut off that avenue by proposing we need person-lethal-force in the first place.
But one the other hand, if people know they'll get dead if they fuck someone over, there would probably be a lot less problems in the world. For example, even if you justifiably kill someone, someone could come and kill you, too, if they feel it was unjustified. That forces people to carefully consider the probable consequences when they feel like getting stupid, whether they are in the right or wrong would be immaterial. Bunch of crooked bankers? No problem. We'll just string the fuckers up. Wouldn't find too many crooked bankers flaunting it in that kind of world. I kind of like the natural simplicity of having no laws. I like the law of the jungle. -

Y2K. Never forgive. Never forget.
Y2K could also have been a trigger date for something ominous to begin - something which we are now in the middle of.

I guess edible was a poor choice of words
maybe I should have said palatable
I'd probably select the chicken, if I really had to. Actually, I think starving to death would be preferable.

But pet food is pretty much just ground up roadkill and pet corpses sold by veterinary clinics
and fish and animal guts and parts leftover from processing
Do people really think that pet food companies waste actual edible meat on mere pets?
Apparently, it IS edible. They had been eating cat food sandwiches for years.

Dang. I didn't realize wet cat food was cheaper than human food. They should've just bought Ramen noodles and they'd probably still be alive to this day. Surely it was the kitty grub that did them in.
It's pretty cheap. If you buy Purina, it's only about $0.49/can. Lots of flavors. -
2015-09-22 at 2:18 PM UTC in Your mom is so homelessIn my teens, I used to regularly wash the car of a really old couple (brother and sister) for $20, even though they were both in their late 90's and hadn't been able to drive for decades. One day, I went in to get my cash after washing the car, and I kind of surprised the sister, who was spreading cat food from a can of open cat food on the sideboard onto pieces of bread, making sandwiches. The smell was overpowering, and coupled with what I saw, I stopped dead in my tracks as I entered the kitchen. Then she kind of made a few fast, sudden moves and the can disappeared in the process. I approached her slowly and said, "What's that you're eatin'?", and she said, "You can probably guess it's cat food. You know, on the money we get from old age security, we have to make ends meet to survive." And I said, "But you don't have to eat that!! You can take my $20 and buy what you want with it!!" And she said, "It's OK, son. You keep your money. We're fine eating this and we're used to it now." And all I could do was kind of hang my head in resignation and accept the money.
About a month later, the brother died, and the very next day the sister died, too. -

I tried it on Opera. If you hover or click the link, it crashes the page and makes you have to reload the page.
