Yeah, rumor has it there are a lot of Muslims in Malaysia.

I'm a nerd and it's interesting to me. In fact I find several other things interesting that don't run Linux.
Well, y'know, if the cops can't slow a car down by pushing a button, there are always spike strips...
Exactly like the slimeball "sales manager" at a car dealership who tries to sell you the extended warranty and other overpriced crap after you've agreed to a price. He demands that you justify your refusal, because he knows that if he can get you on the defensive, he can bully you into submission.
I once tore up a negotiated deal in front of one of those. That wouldn't work in this case, because this customer was already cancelling service, but it might be fun to say "Why I'm cancelling is none of your damned business. I will pay no more bills. Remember when your robot told me this call would be recorded?"

Want the car analogy? OK, buy a new set of mag wheels from a teenager for $50 and see if you get to keep them.
Gone are the days, when pursuit of happiness was understood as a natural right granted to each human being not by their government, but by the Creator.
Yes, very long gone. They died when we gave up on hunter-gathering, settled into fixed dwellings, and the first genius figured out that the soup would taste better if the privy were downstream.
It does, huh? You don't mind the thousands-pounds piloted aircraft flying above your all day, you don't mind the trucks driving around all day (delivering the same stuff), it is the light drones, that keep you awake at night?
The airplanes flying overhead don't land in my neighborhood.
The UPS trucks park in my neighborhood according to well-tested and well-enforced procedures, just as I do.
A drone big enough to deliver, say, a laptop on my driveway is big enough to kill my dog or the neighbor's kid. Until I know that little detail has been taken care of, you're damn right I have the right to impose such a requirement. Whine about the freedom of the open range all you like; we've come too far to go back to writing our rules in blood.
Well, as long as they don't go eyeliner...
They tried that for a while in the wake of 9/11, but the bootup time of Windows caused massive delays.
I'm sorry, but thanks to Richard Dawkins, atheism now has people going door to door trying to convert people.
Where? All I get is Mormons, Jehovah's Witnesses and Baptists.
Yes they do, but that description does not apply to the Greenpeace blimp anyway. It has both an engine and a propane burner.
What do you mean by "caught off guard?" Are you assuming that if they saw it coming, they'd shoot it down? Or would they maybe pull it over with a police blimp?
The "whole MF Sun" will not be available to you until you build a Dyson sphere. But yeah, I guess that would be an example of really WANTING to...
( Does Germany even have winter? I think Fahrenheit (the guy who invented the temperature scale) was German and he seemed to think that 0F was as cold as you could get, so I guess they don't have a real winter there.)
There are several folkloric versions of how he set the zero, but he didn't do it by watching a thermometer...google "frigorific mixture".
You can certainly find subzero temps in Europe if you go high enough, but Fahrenheit mostly lived and worked in the Low Countries.
Waste not, get your budget cut next year.
