you watch too many movies, the majority of assassins don't mind the world knowing their target was assassinated; the acknowledgement and recognition that an assassination has occurred is normally part of the agenda of the party with motive.

nonsense, less than ten thousand words are in common use, the OED has almost 200,000 words

there is even more evidence for my theory, that speech helped human males get female fucking partners. Don't underestimate the need for the primary tool of the art of seduction

also, it (R717) is the most efficient refrigerant. There is renewed interest for that reason in using it in more traditional applications

place I used to work had one of those things in the data center room with two layers of cubical walls around it just so people could shout and be understood at normal data center bellowing levels over the hvac and machine fans

with BSD being in everything from printers to elevator controllers (and Apple products), it's not a small target but more of a less visible one to date

meanwhile the tried and true methods of bombs planted on vehicles, tampering with brakes, shooting drivers, etc. continue to get body count

in fact even the altruism argument about reduced pollution doesn't hold, there will not be enough electric cars produced in the next 10 years to make an iota of difference, especially as existing IC vehicle aren't going to be scrapped overnight. Instead, getting IC fuel from a smarter carbon neutral source, such as GM modified algae that eat cellulose to produce butanol or such is what we should be doing

My internal combustion insurance is $650 a year. Not seeing a compelling argument there either.

most helium released from the earth is also just vented at many natural gas sites instead of being used; instead of a helium shortage we really just have a neuron in use shortage for now. Raising the bar for industry not to waste and pollute would have many long term benefits

while I agree the preponderance of "greenies" like you are in fact that stupid, the average car buyer has far more common sense than you and so will pay a third or less for an IC vehicle since the fuel costs for a decade and a half would still be cheaper than a limited range electric car of today

oh come on, it's more complex than that, there are plenty of anime where the Moe Blobs are psychos and stab or shoot people and blow shit up 8D

It wasn't used in IBM PCs, but was in some other systems such as Apricot PC and the Altos 586

Professional athletes could disappear and we'd still have amateurs training for Olympics and local school or park system games. I think it would be better for society to focus on those things, which would be more like sports in most of history, rather than professional sports.

also good old line printers like the IBM 1403 that did over 1000 lpm...kind of like working near a heavy machine gun.
