The crazy thing is that slavery didn't actually end after the Civil War. When the Civil War ended, all slaves were to be freed except those that owed a debt for a crime. Guess who then became labeled criminals? If you answered shitloads of blacks in the South, you'd be right. They also passed laws making it a crime to:
Be black and Not be able to prove employment
Be black and raise your voice in front of a white woman
Be black and and be seen past curfew.

I say be black because the laws specifically targeted black people in its language.

Not only that, but what happens if Microsoft actually makes their platform more expensive? Gamers would have the choice of buying the more expensive version or the cheaper Linux version. This assumes that the support is there, which I keep reading more and more about. I run Windows for games, but I absolutely love KDE and Linux and would switch in a heartbeat (on my desktop, I run Linux everywhere else) if the majority of my games ran in my favorite environment.

You've obviously never been good at Starcraft. I'm a skinny guy, but I break out into sweats when I'm playing a fast-paced game! It's not so much about strength, but endurance, concentration, and accuracy. I know people might not understand it, but don't write off progamers just because you don't get it.

I don't do video and voice chat a whole lot, so I mainly have experience with Google chat and Steam which both work great and are easy to use. I know there's other stuff out there though.

Sounds to me like Windows Update did you a favor. I feel the same way as you about Skype, therefor I don't install it. Why do you keep torturing yourself like this? You know there's other better software that does the same thing, right?

That's bullshit and you know it. People don't reproduce to leave something behind or care for us in old age. People reproduce because they're horny. Not that I'm against them or anything, but we wouldn't have abortion clinics if what you said is true.

"Firefox is open source and free, but they introduced a tiny bit of advertising that can be turned off. Time to jump to a proprietary browser made by an ad company that's already tracking everything I do!"

I don't like this development either, but ditching Firefox for something less free with more advertising is retarded, just like you are.

Great, can you guys get on the Starcraft cheaters now? Those cheaters only cheat to beat other individuals and they really ruin the game for everyone.

The Pope has great moral Authority? Says who? Just because he's old, rich, and prays doesn't mean he knows right from wrong.

That did, thanks for the informative and interesting post!

I love reading about this stuff, but it's hard to understand without a background in science :(

Can someone explain it to us like we're 10?

Good for them! I'm excited to see what new knowledge this will bring everyone!

Yes, I'd believe it if someone told me that. The air travel industry doesn't exactly impress me with their tech or the way they handle it.

They guessed their terrible passwords. From what I read, their highest-level password was azerty12345, which is the French version of qwerty12345. They then interviewed someone about it in front of someone's desk. That person's desk had usernames and passwords on index cards taped to their monitor! People could read them from the video, and their youtube password translates to "the password of youtube".

tl;dr they had godawful security practices.

Children can't drive, what kind of a bullshit argument is this?
