Comment Re:KIlling off the Microsoft Store Name Too (Score 1) 352

Even if Linux had a compelling and disruptive element, it wouldn't convince business to leave MS's demented ecosystem. And as soon as Linux had one, MS would be right there the next day saying to everyone, "Me too, Me too! And just wait 'till next year when we integrate with the rest of our crap."

Bullshit, it references a well-maintained militia. The maintenance doesn't not constitute armed vigilante groups marauding in the name of the constitution or the rights of individuals to settle their disputes with guns.

From wikipedia:

In United States v. Cruikshank (1876), the Supreme Court of the United States ruled that, "The right to bear arms is not granted by the Constitution; neither is it in any manner dependent upon that instrument for its existence" and limited the applicability of the Second Amendment to the federal government.[9] In United States v. Miller (1939), the Supreme Court ruled that the federal government and the states could limit any weapon types not having a “reasonable relationship to the preservation or efficiency of a well regulated militia”.

There you go. There is no right to overthrow the government. We can however vote the government corruption out of office. You will notice the Constitution enshrines that right and not your perverted view.

Prophet my ass. He was a late stage schizophrenic who went off to the mountains, heard voices, and concluded it must be angels (Allah never communicates directly with humans, he is to Other that he uses angels...its in the escape clause of his contract). Modern schizophrenics are typically enamored with religion and also hear angels, devils, Jimmy Carter, Kim Jong-un, the arch-angel Gabriel, and funny talking frogs (think the Loony-Tune's cartoon with the frog singing but only when the owner cannot make any money off him).

The entire situation reminds me of the joke where a fellow advertises to sell his talking dog. A prospective buyer goes to the fellow's house and is told the dog is in the bedroom. So the guy goes in and asks the dog to speak. The dog greets him, "How ya doing?". And guy is awed and asks the dog what he's been doing all these years. The dog props himself on an elbow and says that he was involved in the WTC rescue effort and saved 20 people. He also was sent up in the space shuttle to perform science experiments and found a new form of matter. And he helped fly helicopters after Hurricane Katrina, saving people. The guy is totally blown away, so he goes out into the other room and asks the fellow why he's selling his talking dog. The guy says in a loud voice so the dog can hear "BECAUSE HE'S A BIG LIAR!"

Last we heard, tourism tanked in Egypt not long after the Muslim Brotherhood took over and good relations with minorities went out the window. Then the recent military takeover made tourism even less stable because the Muslim Terrorist Nutjobs look at foreigners as infidels to killed ASAP.
