Most police deaths are caused by vehicle injuries, which would be resolved if they wore their flipping seat belts. Even with those injuries it is no where as dangerous as many jobs.

I don't. If other people do I don't really care. I haven't bought anything made by Sony since the Linux fiasco.

So it is Clinton's fault you purchased an inferior product, and that you are not observant enough to watch where you are going?

No that is the point. You are trying to justify bricking the end users equipment, claiming that they know what they are doing. It is obvious that they don't know what is going on, it is just a gadget they bought off amazon. Soft bricking the device is shady and underhanded. What they should have done was pop up a message stating the device is counterfeit and asked for the user to inform them of where they got the device so FTDI could take action.

I know I would be glad to rat out the counterfeiters because I don't want counterfeit chips in my gadgets. If they were to ask me I would give them the information on where I got the gadget so FTDI could either help the manufacturer fix their supply chain, or follow it to the actual culprit.

Punishing the end user is passive aggressive. They know their gadget is broken, but not why it is broken. Frankly I hope they become the subject of a class action. They have no right to destroy hardware.

You expect the end users to know that? Really?

The police department in my area has both Emergency and Non-Emergency numbers. It is listed that way in the phone book.

A large portion of distributions does not equal a large number of users. You should have realized that though.

People use video cards from seven years ago? The only reason I can think of for that is if your PC is seven years old, in that case they need more then a new video card.

Apples reality distortion field. Remember, its not useful until apple does it, and then once apple does it, it becomes innovation.

So what your saying is you have specialized hardware that you had issues with.

I have had no issues tethering my GS4, my only streaming issues are sites that use silverlight, and plenty of steam games for fun.

Oh and BTW it looks like your complains about the Fuji(tsu)? scanner and Wacom tablet are overblown. It looks like there is some support for both, although it is not handled by the manufacturers. Both manufacturers linked to these sites so I am assuming they should be at least partially functional.

Note: I cannot even find a Fuji scanner, so I am guessing you dont even know what hardware you are using, which might explain your difficulty in installing the hardware.

If you get say 10 people into the general population (IE not admitted to a hospital) with ebola, you will see infection skyrocket. You claiming otherwise is akin to you putting your head in the sand and pretending there is no problem.

The chance to be infected with ebola are only almost nonexistent because it hasn't made its way into the general population yet. Once that happens then the chance of being infected skyrockets. You should stop glossing over that.

My comment is solely that the parent, who is accusing someone else of FUD, is spreading it him/herself. Go post your diatribe about not being scared elsewhere.

You are wrong. You are the one that needs to stop spreading FUD. From the CDC:

Bush claimed there were new factories manufacturing nuclear and biological weapons. These did not exist. Source: I served in Iraq, and one of my primary jobs was to search for WMD. As far as I am aware the only thing ever found was old chemical weapons from the 80s. Bush was not right. There were no new WMD factories, and there were no new nuclear or biological weapons. Either he was wrong, or he lied. That is up to the reader to decide.
