Comment Re:Not until Apple includes it in their iPhone (Score 1) 75

The whole point is that Apple won't include it unless it has a worthwhile use. Other companies play spec wars where there is no practical use of a technology for users. Apple doesn't.

Too right. Before Apple added support for copy-and-paste, MMS, multi-tasking, high-res or bluetooth, they were just useless gimmicks on other platforms.

Furthermore, one of their stated goals is that they want to destroy the US.

You have that backwards. The US wants to destroy ISIS. Even if some ISIS spokesman was accurately translated as aiming to destroy the US, how could anyone possibly take it seriously? Similar absurd claims were made about Al Qaeda, when bin Laden just wanted Americans out of Saudi Arabia, and the middle east generally.

Just planning or speaking about heinous crimes is enough to get you nickes, again, as it should be.

No it will not. One person planning a crime, even bragging about it, is not conspiracy. It could just be a fantasy. Lots of people imagine ways of killing someone, but never do it. The crime is conspiracy, which means more than one person planning it together. To charge one person acting alone, he would have to have gone beyond planning, e.g. purchasing bomb ingredients.

Then why, when I visit atheist websites sites, atheist discussion forums, and talk with local atheists, that's all they want to talk about?

Yes, just like when you visit the websites devoted to "white people", and discover that all white people are racists obsessed with Hitler?

Mmmm... I do not think you have a representative sample.

These are WOUNDED veterans.
That means they were injured trying to help preserve your right to be a complete asshole.

Wounded helping preserve your right to drive a 2-tonne SUV.
American's can be assholes without any help from the middle east. (though the likes of ISIS could give some lessons in advanced skills.)

My friends in the service are not dumb jar heads. They all know exactly what is going on, better than you in fact since they are actually there.

So they knew what was happening and chose to join in anyway? That makes it worse. There is so much blood on their hands, and I'm afraid we still have not seen the worst of it.

Just another reminder to use strong passwords,

It does not matter how good your password is, if it can be reset by anyone researching the answer to Apple's "security questions", like:
- What was the model of your first car?
- What was your childhood nickname?
- In what city did your parents first meet?

Never mind social engineering, a lot of those could be answered by Google for a starlet.

Let me ask you... European governments are strong arming various USA states on the death penalty by both enforcing patents and not selling drugs. What are your feelings on this?

Hardly the same - they just don't want the US states using their *medicines* to kill. Its not like they are threatening tariffs on Texas exports.
You could probably shoot the prisoners with EU-made bullets, as those are designed to kill, not heal.
