Next time you see your great-granddad, ask him what he thinks about interracial marriages.
(That is basically the level of your argument, in case this isn't readily obvious.)

It isn't like any polynesians had a navy capable of transporting the people and resources needed to conquer the islands. Nor was there economic value in such an endeavor. Refugees and explorers showing up and assimilating? Absolutely. A conquering force? Not a chance.
Maori didn't quite conquer New Zealand that way (there was no-one to conquer it from), but they definitely did assemble a fleet large enough to be an invasion force.
The royal family of the Hawaiians may not even call themself so, it is illegal under the american constitution.
Care to cite the relevant part?
Golden Dawn is by all accounts a neo-Nazi party (heck, all it takes is a single look at their official flag to confirm that). It's amusing when neo-Nazis refer to themselves as liberals, but don't expect anyone to be fooled.
It's banned in Russia under the local laws on extremism.
Just FYI, Texas and its balls are largely a creation of a PR campaign. Even as far as "keep your guns" goes, Texas is not the most gun-friendly state in the union, nor the one with most people carrying. It's just the one that people think of first when they hear "guns", and vice versa.
Do you support the Golden Dawn?
Those "lynching parties" aren't actually legal, even under the strictest Sharia interpretation. They are just tolerated, similar to how lynchings of blacks were tolerated in the South despite being illegal by law.
Historically, it's actually the other way around - the reason why Islam (and other religions and cultures similar in that respect) has provisions for polygamy in the first place is because it started as a rather warlike religion with inevitable casualties among the young males who shoulder the burden of the war. It's also why polygamy is not generally encouraged in Islam, and was originally promoted by Muhammad as a means to ensure that all those widowed females have a caretaker. Of course, over time it simply evolved into more wives for richer people, but that's a different conversation.
Do you also get out of your car to defrost the rear window?
I thought it's outright illegal to ask age-related questions to candidates?
The claim is that it's added to a "lot" of products, and that that explains its growth and its presence on millions of machines
That is not the claim at all. The words that OP used were "hardly surprising" and "gains an advantage". Do you deny that paying people to use Chrome (which is what this is in essence) doesn't give Google an advantage? Perhaps they just like to pay companies to bundle products for no return.
Capcha: sincere
Nice selective quoting. The original claim was that it "gains an advantage in market share" due to being added "as bloatware to a lot of products". The claim was specifically that growth in market share was due to being bundled.
And what evidence do you have that Google is paying anyone to include Chrome?
Given the uses for a gun exactly what use would you have for one that would merit bringing it to work with you?
Same as why you'd want one anywhere else that you're not hunting, target shooting, etc. -- defense of yourself or others in the unlikely but possible case that it's necessary. People are occasionally murdered at work, same as anywhere else.
If you are so afraid that you need to carry a gun to work with you, then you may want to consider moving to a safer area.
What does fear have to do with it? I'm not particularly afraid of fire, but I have a fire extinguisher and smoke alarms. I'm not afraid of driving my car, but I have insurance. I'm not afraid of minor injuries, but I keep a first aid kit in the car. I don't expect to lose my job, but I have savings. I don't expect to be sued, but I have legal insurance. Like a hundred and one other ways in which the prudent person is prepared, having the means of self-defense is a good idea.
In my 30 years of owning guns, I've drawn a weapon on a human being precisely zero times. I've used a gun to shoot at or injure a human exactly zero times.
Same here, if you ignore some experiences in the military (where I also never shot at or injured a human, but I did have to draw).
Given my lifestyle, I fully expect that I'll carry my gun for 50 years and never once need it. I certainly haven't in the nearly 10 years since I started carrying it daily. Further, I sincerely hope that I'll never need it, just as I hope not to need my life insurance for a very long time. But in the event something really bad happens, I've done what I can to prepare.
You don't need to be writing software for airplanes to understand the notion of an overflowing counter, and why you'd want to use a 64-bit int for it just in case.
