Its been banned here years ago and it has led to general improvements of health and the industry isn't harmed by it.

I have multiple backups in seperate locations and online redundancy (saving 50 past versions of the file, in case of damage, deletes or errors). One offsite backup is a passive one (in case of a systemwide hack) that cannot be accessed from the outside through the net. And this is just for my personal stuff...I'd expect an important person like Linus Thorvald to have a minimum of a basic backup or at least a NAS or online storage.

You do know that you just have to multiply it up to the population of the nation to find total deaths. per 100.000 is the usual standard for country to country statistics.

I've been running SSDs as both boot drives, server drives and RAID drives for some 2-4 years and only 1 has ever failed out of the dozens of drives.

Outlook is shit. I'll take gmail interface over that any day.

1. I already have glasses, which means I can't use google glasses 2. It can be used by creepy stalkers and pedo's taking pictures and video.

This is assuming we classify people as animals.

Call me back when guns serve a functional use like transportation.

A 20 year old can't just easily get multiple firearms and a bulletproof vest unless there's a large enough legal market to make a huge supply. A psykopath was arrested last year here for assaulting multiple caseworkers. He said he wanted to kill all of them, but he was too chicken to use a knife and while he tried to get several firearms, it was just too difficult for him to get, so he as a desperate last effort tried unarmed assault. Many lives were saved because guns were hard to obtain.

I've run a full blown Windows 7 Professional on 256 Mb of RAM. It wasn't a speed freak, but it ran.

If my home was driving around on the streets and a potential danger to others, a black box in your house would be fine then.

Please stop whining about freedom at every turn, it doesn't just blindly apply to everything. Oh wait, you probably whine to the airline, demanding the remove the black box of the plane.

I already have 1/1 Gbit fibre. I don't need google for that. The US needs to stop getting bumf*cked by telco's. Bandwith caps, carrier locked cell phones, etc. just sucks.

Don't make a successor like that, I think it will likely suck or at least will be shied away from by gamers. They should upgradet the original game to modern graphics and interface. Keep the original story and characters. (heck even hire the original voice actors) This would be way better

For 250+ dollars a year, you can get better email service sadly. :(
