I would've beat the shit out of him and then call the cops. that's what we do here to burglars.. catch them and beat them then call the cops and beat them till they arrive then ask the cops for 15 more minutes... by this time they are basically begging the cops to take them away.
death threats to me and my family?? don't expect to walk properly afterwards.

Up, Up, Down, Down, Left, Right, Left, Right, B, A. Or even in Mike Tyson's Punch Out. I played this week (the original NES version) and still remembered all of the sequences for the different opponents. maybe i was secretly opening old files. It sure did bring back memories.

Its not about making something sound positive, its about going out of your way to make something sound negative. TFA makes it sound like celestica decided to dump rim when in fact it is the other way around. RIM seems to be consolidating and decided to drop one of their manufacturing partners which recently hasnt been manufacturing hardware for RIM anyways.

I believe it has more to do with Idol-worship rather than just anything that came chronologically before Islam. E.g. The current Kaaba was built thousands of years before Islam by Abraham but that is the focal point for Muslim worship all over the world. During the time of Muhammed, the idols in the Kaaba that were worshipped by the Arabs of Makkah at that time were destroyed.

M42 (Great Nebula in Orion) is clearly visible with the naked eye even in fairly light polluted areas. Also, people have reported seeing at least one supernova with the naked eye from back in those days when light pollution was essentially zero. but you are right about not being able to notice a SN if it was only visible during the day.

I am exactly as you describe yourself... (even age) except that i work in an office and i do have bad sinusitis especially from dust and cats and strong perfumes. I have had about 5 cats over many years and have not got fully accustomed to them. I cant even try to clean my own room because i start sneezing like crazy (its a good excuse not to though :P)
