Really? Because I seem to recall them doing it pretty much every goddamn day. Then, if lowly peasants like us say anything about it, it's "SUBMIT, MOTHER FUCKER!" and politicians ranting about how you have to give up your freedom to protect freedom and other illogical bullshit.

Wait...your response to police / government corruption is to stop being a supporter of civil rights / small government and instead support the corrupt people? WHAT?! To use a quote from Buffy the Vampire Slayer, "Your logic does not resemble our Earth logic".

Exactly. I had a cop try that shit on me when I was in college and they were just looking for someone to mess with (no joke, my friends and I were merely walking around campus late at night and they insisted that we must be committing vandalism / stealing because otherwise we wouldn't be walking around). Cops love to lie just to try and cause trouble.

So because something wasn't IDENTICAL and was an earlier version, you're claiming that they're completely different and that those who used them couldn't see where things were going? That's a stupid as saying that since 20 years ago we only used "primitive" hard drives with moving parts and low capacity, scientists and tech enthusiasts didn't know that hard drive storage capacity and read / write speeds would continue to increase.

Sorry, the Girandoni rifle was MADE (1779) and was standard issue for the Austrian army before the Bill of Rights was ratified (thus the Founders knew about it) and it was later issued to Lewis and Clark because of its capabilities. The Puckle Gun was the first machine gun and it was invented in 1718. Again, they knew exactly where firearms technology was going when the wrote the Second Amendment.

By the time the Bill of Rights was written, the Founding Fathers had seen the invention of the first machine gun and had personally issues a 22-round "semi-automatic" rifle to Lewis & Clark for their famous expedition. To claim that "they didn't intend for modern weapons" to be covered by the Second Amendment is absurd. They knew exactly where guns were going (which, in all reality, guns haven't changed much in the past century) and they wanted to ensure that the people had the means to fight back against the government.

Also, "Most countries have police that are responsible to the people" is laughable, seeing how the police are only responsible to politicians and routinely violate the rights of "the people" at both the request of their political masters and to satisfy their own desire to feel powerful.

Since when is giving up and letting yourself be treated like shit been considered "being a grown up"?

The problem is that, while Steam itself is on Linux, only the games that have been written to support Linux will work.....and those are few and far between.

A large portion of Americans are already driving around 85 mph on the highway, this would just make it legal (for those in Montana).

Yeah, people said that about Yahoo! and AOL as well. Now most people barely remember that they exist.

Yes, but are those economic benefits worth the loss of sovereignty? Why should people in the UK or France be forced to live by rules determined by the people of Germany (or any other nation)?

Google Drive / Google Docs are all included in that too.

All of your response had nothing to do with the issue in the article. None of those people were giving up money by doing what they did, at most they gave up a few minutes of their time. That is completely different than knowing that if you act like a jerk, you will be financially rewarded. All over the world, regardless of race, religion, gender, or nationality, the majority of people will go to great lengths to get more money.

You must work in a family business then.

This is why I've been saying for years that Android needs to take a page from Linux. Make the "skin" that manufacturers put on their phones a download via the play store (or a pre-installed manufacturer specific store) and let Google push all updates directly. That way users don't complain about updates and manufacturers can still put an awful skin on their phone.
