Concealed carry is legal on trains and tons of people do it. Yet I've not heard of any OK Corral shootouts on trains. Maybe licensed concealed carry holders are not as trigger happy as you think.

Sounds like your friends are anarchists, not libertarians.

It allowed me to login, but all the categories said "no data available". That makes me happy. Looks like AdBlock + Ghostery is doing a great job at thwarting the data collectors. Wish it worked on the NSA.

And we know this because the rep-dems told us so... We haven't seen a true libertarian society yet. Maybe it will suck, maybe it will be great. Would be interesting to try, though. What we have now doesn't look to swell.

You were OK until here. US exports in 2012 were $1.5T, only topped by China at $2T and the EU at $2.1T. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_exports

By that logic the Interstate highway system was a waste of tax money. After all, before the highways were built there weren't that many people travelling between states.

Serious Sam 3 is on steam. I bought it during the Linux sale and I've been playing it the last week. Runs perfectly. Yes, it's a few years old but still looks good.

On Android: Create a contact (I call it "Spam"). Click settings->More and add to reject list. Whenever you get a spam call, select "update existing contact", select "Spam" and no more calls from that number. For a home phone, use a VOIP provider (I use and can recommend Galaxy Voice). They should have a web page that lets you add numbers to a blacklist. Also select the "anonymous call rejection" feature which will block all calls where the caller id has been intentionally blocked. By doing the above it is very rare for me to receive a spam call.

No, I think a large number of games are in the process of being ported and 60 of them were completed in the last couple of weeks. More will be finished in the next couple of weeks, etc.

Not true. Valve only _supports_ ubuntu. Other distros are welcome to add steam to their package managers. For instance, Gentoo has steam in their repo. It's a thin wrapper package. When you install it, it makes sure all dependencies are met and then downloads steam from valve's server and installs it. All this is automagic as far as the user is concerned.

Gentoo.

And a couple of weeks ago there were only 40. If they keep going at this rate things are looking promising!

Or switch to a smarter distro? My 64-bit distro fixed it automatically and steam runs fine.

Your distro can't handle deb? Why not? My Gentoo box just has a thin wrapper around the deb to do the install and make it act like any other Gentoo package. I never see a deb package at all.

I'm running 64-bit Gentoo and noticed Steam in the portage tree so I installed it. Works fine. Tried the free TF2 and it worked perfectly. Just bought SS3 for $8 and it's downloading. Valve is great!
